Pei Wei Asian Diner

We ordered Pei Wei through one of the food delivery services...first time eating there and we generally enjoyed what we got. Since he hadn't been in the restaurant before we didn't realize the entries were essentially single-serving meals (whereas when we usually order Asian food it's family-style portions.) So we ended up getting a little less than we thought we were getting...this is more of a note for the future rather than a complaint. We shared Honey Seared Tofu, Firecracker Tofu, Chicken Fried Rice (without the chicken), and Mongolian Green Beans. As a vegetarian, I really loved that there were so many tofu dishes to try and that I could sub tofu with almost anything else. The Honey Seared Tofu and Firecracker tofu were good. The Mongolian Green Beans tasted good but may have been cooked a little longer than we would have liked. Everything tasted fresh, arrived hot, and tasted good enough that we'd definitely give it another try. (Though maybe ordering one more dish.) I do wish they had a meat alternative like a faux chicken or beef as an option for the meals instead of just tofu. Glad to have discovered Pei Wei!

This is another version of Pick up Stix, but with terrible sushi and super dry pork egg rolls. I had a certificate for here and came in to try it out. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great or even all that good either. I came on a busy weekend afternoon, so it's not like the food was sitting around. Everything tasted freshly made. That wasn't the problem. It was just not there taste wise, I wasn't impressed. I asked for the coconut curry to be made really, really spicy. It was bland. I get that people look at me and see my pale skin and assume I don't know what spicy food really is, but seriously? I sampled the dan dan noodles and they were ok, but they weren't anything special. The sauce had a strange after taste to it that I didn't like.
