It's fine for mass-chain Asian food. It's better than eating at most fast food joints.

Egg rolls are good. Had some acceptable orange peel chicken.

boss, as I've gotten older, when I unfortunately gotta go pee wee, I consider it very good if I can go and come back to my table with no wet spots and my shirttail still tucked in not having to cover up any "evidence".

you get to play with that new fancy drink machine that has 30 types of sodas and 10 flavors of each soda. all while the ice machine spits ice all over the floor and the machine sprays soda all over your hands

It's fast food PF Changs. Same parent company. I've always enjoyed it for a quick lunch or dinner.

I don't mind pei wei at all.


We get Kung Pao shrimp and ginger beef. Both are very good

It's always packed and has good reviews. Food snobs just chains

Had some sesame beef the one time I went, not bad. Like said, it's basically PF Changs light. And they have a fancy drink machine, just don't be the a-hole that takes 5 minutes to decide while people are waiting behind you.

I don't mind Pei Wei. They seem to put those fresh pea pods in all the dishes I like, but they're good.

I thought it was pretty good the one time I went. Not great, but better than most takey outey places in BR.

Leave it this board to make it sound like it's just serving like piles of pig vomit

The Caramel type dish was pretty good. I think I got it with shrimp.

I got the Dan Dan Noodle Bowl with Chicken. It was ok. I wont order it again tho.

Ive eaten at Pei Wei before it came to Baton Rouge.... not a fan.... Hence why I asked what was good. But thank you anyway.

When the corporate trainers were here for a few weeks cooking and training, that stuff was on point. VERY good. Now, it's garbage. I refuse to step foot in that place ever again.

That machine always infuriates me because I always get stuck behind an elderly person

Like Jones mentioned, Pei Wei's machine needs some adjusting. The ice overshoots the cup and hits the floor, then melts so they have to keep a "wet floor" sign up. If you're wearing long pants, beware.

The entire place was a mess when we went. All empty tables were dirty, water all over the floor, overfilled trash cans, people all over. Doubt I'll go back. I actually really like regular takeout Chinese.
