Drew and I went to Pei Wei for lunch today. Its one of the places the folks in my office frequent.
The location was home to a Boston Market years ago and more recently a Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill. Pei Wei has erased the memories of most folks that anything could have ever existed there before it arrived.
It was a beautiful day and most of the patio was already taken when we arrived. I had the Thai Coconut Curry with chicken and brown rice. It has Green curry coconut sauce, ginger, Thai basal, red bell pepper, onion and long beans. Exquisite.
Drew had the Pei Wei Spicy Chicken Salad. It has Wok seared chicken, assorted lettuce, Napa cabbage, vegetables, rice sticks, tomato and lime vinaigrette. The portion was large. He said he would have liked the chicken a little more done, so that it was crispy along the edges.
The Pei Wei website says that our restaurant is one of 150 in more than 15 states serving wok-seared, contemporary Asian cuisine. Its a faster, more casual version of PF Chang.
The other Pei Wei restaurants in Wake County are at 1107 Walnut Street in Cary and 10251 Little Brier Creek Lane in Raleigh.
Lunch time service has always been great. Food has always been perfect.
