Peter Chang (ARL)

“Ordered takeout and all of the food was ready on time when I arrived. I got the chicken fried rice and pork lo mein. I really enjoyed the flavor of the pork. At first I thought it was definitely a bit more on the pricey side but the portions were HUGE! so it was definitely worth it. I got 5 solid meals out of two dishes”

“I’m on a mission to try as many Peter Chang restaurants as possible and this most recent trip brings me to their Arlington, VA location. I was in the area and decided to stop in for some carry-out to enjoy for lunch the next day. The restaurant is very nice, clean, and modern. All Peter Chang joints are nicely decorated and kept up nicely, not like the typical “ethnic” restaurant with poor hygiene and care, this one was just as clean and nice as the others I’ve visited. Placing my to-go order was quick and easy with the host. He said it would take about 10 minutes for the food to be prepared, but it really took only 5 and it came out piping hot and packed for the trip home. The food when I heated it up the next day was EXCELLENT!!! So flavorful and tasty! I actually ordered beef lo mien with jalapeños, which tasted great and wasn’t too spicy, but had a nice flavor to it… definitely something I’ll be ordering in the future! I also got their chicken with Szechuan peppers and that was incredibly flavorful!! Overall – Another excellent Peter Chang restaurant that must be visited!”

“Awesome Sichuan food! Been to this location twice and both times barely any tables were occupied. We did go close to closing time. They close at 10 pm. Food is spicy with all the bold flavors you expect from Sichuan cuisine. Service is efficient and quick. They ask you if you want your appetizers first or if the food can come as it gets ready. They do get the food out real quick. We like it did extra spicy do a go to dish is their ghost pepper chicken. They have thinly sliced peppers in it - they might be scotch bonnet though. Their eggplant appetizer is also excellent. In other places over tried them they've been very oily. But this place gets it right - hot, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and not at all oily. Their pork belly appetizer is also similarly fried - in other restaurants, they aren't usually. The vegan bubble pancake is also a must have. The egg fried rice is so Indo-Chinese - it is perfect for those of you who get the reference. The ambiance is very run-of-the-mill Chinese restauranty. This is when you compare this with the Herndon, or Bethesda locations - which are upscale and trendy in comparison. No reason to ding points for that - just setting expectations. I like that you can scan the barcode on the bill to pay. It's worked reliably. Again, I don't get why it isn't crowded from the moment it opens till it shuts.”

“Peter Chang is hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. If you’re into Sichuan food, this place is on another level. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried here. The flavors are bold, the dishes are consistently well executed, and you can tell the kitchen knows exactly what it’s doing. The service is great too. Everyone is friendly and things come out smoothly, so the whole experience feels easy and enjoyable. For the quality of food you get, the prices are also totally reasonable, which makes it even better. Overall, it’s just a fantastic spot. If you want seriously good Sichuan food without overthinking anything, Peter Chang is the place I always recommend.”

“Just an ok place. The biggest concern is the food. It was just fine, not even good or great. The service was good. The atmosphere is good. It did not worth 100$ we paid for the dinner. Won’t comeback.”
