We went here with a BOGO coupon and had a pleasant dinner. Â It was basically empty on a Monday evening around 5:30 PM, with just a slow stream of people coming in one by one for takeout. Â The food was hot and flavorful. Â I had the new Black Pepper entree, which was good, but I will get something else next time. Â My wife had the Caramel entree, which seemed to lack any refined flavor. Â This location does not have all of the menu offerings of a traditional Pei Wei, but is a great place to pop into for a quick dinner or lunch. Â The staff was pleasant and the restaurant was reasonably clean. Â For beverage drinkers, they have two of those mix-your-own flavor Coke machines.
Review Source:Restaurant update
I visited again with a recent BOGO offer from Pei Wei website and decided to try the market size portion of seared crispy shrimp which was 6.95. The food once again was fresh, but the size of the dish was ridiculously small. Even my wife who is never a big eater was staring at me and said "why is there only 6 shrimps in my meal". This is overpriced and I think I will go to Panda Express instead next time.
This is PFChang's little sister and it's not bad. Â Â The veggies are crunchie fresh and they have fortune cookies,. Â It's always a good sign when you see little old Chinese couples eating here, which I did twice this week. Â They cook the food to order, although from reading other reviews, I might like another location better when you can mix up your own sauce. Â I like the smaller portions, more than enough.
I like the ambiance of the place; it's dark with exposed brick and pretty soothing, but they ruined it with the music track which is high energy techno stuff designed to move you along.
I will probably visit PFC next time for the whole experience.
Yuck. Panda express is better than these wannabes. Overpriced, bland, and small. Also got the order wrong and brought out the wrong meal. While i was eating my plate almost finished my dad was waiting for so long! Plus I'm a super slow eater. It wasn't even the long wait for his plate.
Wouldn't go back.
I didn't know Lean Cuisine opened a restaurant. I LOVE it!
I usually eat Lean Cuisine in the winter. So now, when I am out and about in the summer, I can just drop in this place, spend like 3x what I spent for those frozen isle containers, to get a freshly made unfrozen isle container!
The dinning in experience is really the best, cause the food really look like a damn Lean Cuisine. Same sized plastic container, portion is about the same as well, if not smaller. Comes with all the plastic utensils, plastic trays, and plastic cups you need.
Don't ever go to Panda Express ever again. Cause they would really fill you up. As everybody knows... "wow, that Lean Cuisine really filled me up," said no one, ever.
I need to put in a note in the suggestion box and tell them to install a TV. Cause I usually enjoy my Lean Cuisine while watching TV at home.
I didn't know there could be such variety in a chain restaurant. All the other Pei Weis I have ever visited had the whole selection of oil, vinegar, chile paste, and mustard to make my own PF Changs sauce mix. All they had here was Sriracha and soy sauce. The portions were small and even though we ate in restaurant, we were still given to go containers. The food was all the same and still delicious but I am used to getting big portions.
Review Source:Can't decide what eat for lunch today: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, or Vietnamese? Don't worry, you can now get it all under one roof at Pei Wei. This is a great addition to the Streeterville area and offers a nice lunch option in an area overcome with sandwich and burger places.
Tons of seating options to seat your lonesome self or a large group if dining in and fast service if you are taking your meal to go. I opted for some basic chicken fried rice and it was very good - not super salty like some rice dishes can be and a good amount of lean chicken. Oh, and they have fortune cookies for free! (I love me some fortune cookies).
You can order a small or large portion which is great, especially since I almost always tend to have food leftover and then it goes to waste.
Lots of options from noodles, rice dishes, signature dishes and even some salads. Several gluten-free options available too. Also, their website has very comprehensive nutrition information so you can make an informed choice before placing your food order.
Overall, fast service and plenty of menu choices. Great addition to the area!
This place hits all of the wrong notes. Â It's trying to be upscale, but then serves everything in plastic containers reminiscent of tv dinner trays. Â The prices are about the same price as some of the local thai places that include sit down service and real plates.
Food: Â I tried the chicken lettuce wraps once as a main course. Â VERY filling, and actually pretty tasty but covered in oil. Â
I also tried the Chicken Lo Mein a different time for lunch which was very disappointing. Â It was basically a tray full of noodles with barely any chicken or vegetables in it. Â The sauce was also greasy and too sweet. Â
Their menu also doesn't explain which dishes have deep fried meat and which are not. Â I would honestly be happier at a Panda Express.
I giving this place 2/5 because the Thai salad was awesome and only  cost about $2. The lettuce rolls were also great. They tasted exactly like the dish they serve at PF Changs. I also ordered a spicy chicken dish (I believe it was one of their featured dishes). The chicken was deep fried and it was not advertised as fried. In addition. It was  covered in a sweet (not spicy as advertised) sauce. I wouldn't go back. The Thai salad and lettuce wraps were great, but the entree was worse than the Chinese food you get at any mall food court. I love PF changs. Their lamb dishes and PF changs signature soup are always great. I hoped for more.
Review Source:Fine interior, terrible food. My market size Mongolian Shrimp had a total of 6 or 7 small shrimps. What a joke. Brown rice was low quality, dry and tasteless. In the past I tried Kung Pao beef and it also had very little beef. This place is new and the interior is nice, but the food is one of the worst I ever had and doesn't justify the price. Will never visit again unless they significantly improve the quality of the food.
Review Source:Ordered the market size Hong Kong BBQ w/steak and was impressed w/the portion size. Â The sauce was good and my veggies were crisp and still had their own flavor, not drowned out by the sauce. Â The GF and I also had the pork egg rolls, which were awesome, the crab wontons, which were good, and the chicken lettuce wraps, also good. Â I'm not sure what the name of the sauce was w/the chicken wraps, but it was outstanding w/the pork egg rolls. Â We will be going back.
Review Source:Really happy that I found a Pei Wei in Chicago. Â It's obviously not authentic Chinese, but it's tasty. Â I usually order one of the Pei Wei classics, like Kung Pao, Pei Wei Spicy, or Japanese Teriyaki. Â They have two sizes: market and large. Â The market is plenty. Â I think the prices are reasonable, but others might think it's expensive. Â They do give free fortune cookies though.
Review Source:I am SO happy to have another new lunch option around my office that isn't a sandwich, a sandwich or a sandwich. Like everyone else said, this is a spinoff of P.F. Chang's... it's a small "market" location so they don't have a full Pei Wei menu, but that's just fine with me.
I've been going with the teriyaki chicken & a side of edamame... plus they have that awesome coke machine where you pick your own flavors. The entree dishes come in 2 sizes, and for the price, you can't beat it. $8 for a fresh-cooked and delicious lunch beats a $5 Subway footlong in my book any day.
Outdoor seating in the summer, plenty of indoor seating, and a help-yourself fortune cookie basket. I love this place.
Went for lunch yesterday as I had heard good things. On the online menu nutrition, it said there are 2 ways to cook (one with lower calories). Â When I got there, the option was not on the menu and the staff was unsure of it. Â I got the Pei Wei Shrimp, very good with brown rice. Â My friend got egg rolls that literally needed to be blotted with around 4 napkins. Â We held upright and grease just dripped out in a steady stream. TERRIBLE! Â
Cute place though and awesome soda machines.
I was really excited to hear about this opening by my job as i have eaten at the Elston location. I was really bummed to find out that this location is a market location therefore it doesn't have all the foods that a regular Pei Wei has. I ended up having a shrimp and rice meal. The shrimp was battered and fried and tasted gross. It had a slimy consistency and the rice was really dry and bland. Â I did love the coke machine but the meal just turned me off completely.
Review Source:Hmm. We were excited to hear about a new Asian fast food place opening so close to work. I would say its average. I tried the mangolian chicken - it was OK. The chicken was little too sweet for my taste, and the scallions could have tasted better if they were fresh. It has white mushrooms on it and I like mushrooms. Their dishes come in two sizes- a market (small) size and a large size. Large size just has extra meat on it. The small portion was decent priced and good enough for lunch. It wasn't bad, but that's it. Wasn't great either. They also have fancy coke machine, something I haven't seen elsewhere yet. The store was super clean, servers and host were friendly and very nice. I liked the ambiance too. It was very nice given that its a fast food Asian place.
Now they can really really improve on their taste and quality. I would have preferred to have fried rice with my meal, but they just offer white and brown rice. Rice was fresh. Given that its a new place with nice decor and decent priced menu, what lacks is taste. The food tastes just like any other Asian / Chinese fast food place. I have had better.
This location had a taste testing event last Friday, prior to their official opening date. I tried the Mango Salad, which was really good. Today I tried their Chicken Lettuce Wraps, also very good. For those concerned about sodium intake, the food here might have a very high content of it.
It's a busy location during lunch and the kitchen staff are in a frenzy preparing dishes cutting down the wait time significantly.
The prices are reasonable and the selection diverse. Seating area can be quite limited during the lunch rush hour.
They have two Coca-Cola Freestyle machines and also serve mango iced tea.
Overall, the food is very flavorful and pricing reflective of the area.
