Pei Wei Asian Express — Restaurant in Augusta

Review for Pei Wei Express- Don’t let how the food looks fool you. It looks delicious, right? Well…It tastes terrible!! The orange chicken was hard and WAYYYY too orange-y. The firecracker shrimp was also hard and where the heck did they get ‘firecracker’ from? No taste or spice to it. Noodles almost had no taste when you first take a bite but then it leaves a nasty after taste in your mouth. I can’t quite describe it. Not sure if it’s because I had China Express expectations or what- but this food is not it. This is probably the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had and I have a pretty open palette and eat everything with an open mind. I do not recommend this place. Only good thing I can say is the cashier was a sweetheart.

I really, REALLY miss...

After eating here the beginning of August (they recently opened), I couldn't wait to return for the same meal. It was fresh, seasoned perfectly, EVERY bite was succulent. Today, I had the chance to return and I am extremely disappointed. Nothing tasted good, NOTHING. I had the Asian noodles, honey chicken and cream cheese Rangoon. I was expecting the same awesomeness from the first visit, but I got nothing. The noodles were actually ok, SURPRISE, the chicken was tough the Rangoon was like eating air. There was literally no taste..I wish we would have eaten there instead of bringing it home. I would have...

Today was my first time visiting this establishment and it will be my last. First, for the price they do not give you your monies worth. Second, the rice was somewhat dry, didn't have any onions in the rice, and the vegetables were sparse for it to be vegetable fried rice. Basically you got cooked rice with soy sauce, a few carrots, peas, and eggs here and there. Third, it does not taste like authentic Chinese food. Last the chicken tasted like popcorn chicken cooked in some type of sauce. I would not advise eating here because you will be disappointed. I like the Chinese that was there...
