Pei Wei Asian Kitchen
About This Spot
Stepping into Pei Wei Asian Kitchen in the heart of Charlotte offers a welcoming pause from the day’s rush. The space hums with a casual, easygoing energy, where the warmth of genuine smiles meets the inviting aromas of Asian fusion cuisine crafting moments that feel both familiar and fresh. It’s a spot where the pace is relaxed enough to savor each bite, yet lively enough to enjoy the subtle buzz of conversations and shared meals around you.
The atmosphere reflects a well-loved neighborhood eatery—comfortable and approachable, with an attentive staff that tunes into your needs as if you’re a regular, even on your first visit. Here, there’s an unspoken friendliness that turns a quick lunch into a memorable experience, making the time spent feel like a mini-escape through flavor and simple human connection.
The menu serves as a canvas for those who cherish bold, layered tastes brought to life with fresh ingredients and thoughtful combinations. Whether it’s the gentle heat and fragrant notes mingling in a Thai basil chicken dish or the satisfying crunch and sweet-spicy balance of their signature orange chicken, the offerings invite exploration without pressure. The creativity flows through lighter options too, like a crisp grilled chicken salad tossed with bright citrus dressing, making room for both comfort and refreshment.
Pei Wei’s charm is often found in those quiet, joyful moments—sharing perfectly crafted lettuce wraps with a friend, discovering the crisp snap of a pork egg roll, or watching a child delight in a familiar chow mein. This is a place where good food and kind service come together naturally, nurturing a sense of ease whether you’re dining in, grabbing takeout, or letting the delivery bring the flavors of Asia right to your doorstep.

The atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. Delicious spot for some casual dining. I ordered Mongolian Beef- it was delicious. The staff members are incredibly sweet and it made dining here so much better. Thank you for taking care of this Jersey girl’s desire for a delicious lunch !!

It was my first time here and I wasn’t sure what I wanted, the staff was extremely friendly, helpful and patient. My food came out within 5 minutes of me sitting down. I ordered general tso, a spring roll, dumplings and some of their donuts. The food was hot and fresh. The workers, Nate, Ming and Dai were the ones to help me and prepare my food. I will definitely be coming back and trying some new things!

Place overall food fantastic customer service was on point. I ordered the firecracker chicken with brown rice as you could see in the picture came out perfect tender flavorful and spicy to share with my two year-old son. Also ordered the kids chicken chow mein excellent portion size and overall great experience would recommend.

Nice interior and very friendly staff to my mother and I. food is a cheaper alternative to P.F Changs while tasting just as good and faster however smaller portions. Thanks for the fortune cookies and great experience!

Love Pei Wei. Wish they had SC locations! But, they don’t and we drive to NC. You can basically get any sauce/meal with any protein - chicken or shrimp or tofu…steak might be an option (can’t remember). We usually get orange shrimp and mongolian shrimp - with Lo mein noodles. This is a faster and cheaper version of another well-known more expensive sit down Chinese restaurant with a giant horse outside of it. At Pei Wei, you order and then grab your own beverage, cutlery, sauces like soy or sweet chili sauce, fortune cookie, napkins and your booth/table. They’ll bring your food order out to you when it’s ready ~5-10 mins after placing and paying for your order.
