A great place for a weekend brunch or groups. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. I really like the mapu tofu, the custard buns, the bubble teas and the double cooked pork belly.

They are very inconsistent with service and food, and also with discounts. I don't see how a first responder discount is offered one day and not a few weeks later. I felt like the server just didn't know how to do it, and she didn't want to bother management about it. Also, the food prepared was way too salty, and this is rarely an issue for me.

The server was trying to get my small party out when we weren't even finished with our meal. We did not do anything for this establishment to do this. We weren't even there for more than an hour.....

Our server Jenny S.was absolutely OUTSTANDING. She gave her honest opinion about the dishes we were thinking of ordering and even recommended others for us to try instead. Everything she recommended was a 10/10 would ALWAYS recommend. I am now fully in love with this gem of a restaurant, it’s unbelievable service and fantastic cuisine. Jenny S. you are such a beautiful human and I hope this reviews makes you smile ☀️.

Had such a delicious dinner here! In addition to the food being great Jenny S. was our server, and she was AMAZING. Suggested some really good dishes. Everything we ordered was a hit to me. Highlights: napa cabbage w/ tofu skin, cumin lamb w/ szechuan pepper, spicy hand pulled noodles, and the rice cakes & brown sugar dessert. Will definitely be back! Thanks Jenny!

We've been going twice every month for the past year or so since we love spicy Sichuan food. The restaurant has great ambience and service is good.

Notice! There are plenty of new menu items. The duck spring rolls are fantastic, crispy, hot, and full of duck meat. The seasonal menu keeps things fresh. The cabbage and tofu skin dish was delicious, with the salty tofu providing a nice balance to the cabbage and light accompanying sauce. Interior is a bit loud when crowded.

I arrived an hour before closing, ordered the Peking Duck, but what I received doesn't match the review pictures at all. The color is way off, and I suspect they gave me the cheaper duck option from the menu, while charging me full price. This is a pattern I noticed from other reviews of Peter Chang restaurants and events. It's just deceitful and wrong.

This place is so overrated, it's comical. I feel sorry for people who think this is good. I made reservations to come here with my family since I'm visiting them from out of town. I've been to the original Peter Chang's in Arlington almost a decade ago so I was excited to try this.The ambiance and decor were pleasant but that's pretty much all that was positive about our experience. We arrived right when they opened so the place was not busy.Food: I was told the wait would be 20min for the boba drink, totally fine. When it finally arrives halfway through the meal- way after the quoted 20min, the boba were hard and undercooked. We ordered three drinks and they were all bad. There were inedible large pieces of pork fat in the siu mai. Dishes weren't hot. Xiao long bao came out for 20min before we even got spoons on the table. And they don't even give you the traditional soup spoons that XLB are served with. The "popular" beef dish we got was overly breaded, too sweet, and something you could've gotten at a Panda Express. Except here someone already ate 3/4 of your portion. My niece ordered the duck egg rolls - for $9 you get two of the smallest, overcooked almost burnt rolls. So sad.Service wasn't even existent - waitress rarely came by unless I flagged her down and she did not even offer tea or ask us what we wanted to drink. The host didn't bother to give us a single dim sum menu. I literally booked a Sunday brunch meal for the dim sum - hello? I had to finally request the dim sum menu when we saw them carrying dim sum dishes to other tables and at this point our meal was almost over. The menu itself is horrible with no description of any of the food. If you're going to charge these prices, at least tell me what I'm getting.Portions were laughable. You're paying entree prices and getting appetizer portions. I'm not talking about the dim sum dishes we ordered (because they didn't even give me that menu to begin with). And definitely don't expect rice to be served with your entrees.Would not recommend this place to anyone unless I really disliked them.

One of the best Chinese restaurants for food in the DMV. The food feels so fresh as compared to a takeout place. However, service could definitely use some work. I was ready for 20 minutes, but not yet served, and I had to physically leave my seat to find a server to take my order. I definitely recommend their hot & sour soup with duck meat which has a great contrast of flavors that harmonize each other, and the beef chow fun.I hope service improves because I would love to come here again.

Felt like a high school cafeteria. No ambiance, very loud and food was outrageously expensive and absolutely terrible. When I went to the front cashier and mentioned how bad the food was, she turned her head away from me and refused to turn it back to look at me. Worst experience I have EVER had at a restaurant. Save yourself the trouble, go to Artie's across the street. Food is always good. The Great American Restaurants know what it takes to run a business and make their customers happy.
