Their recipe consistency is TERRIBLE. Recently became super salty. Still very unorganized, and weekend servers are not attentive. We’ve visited more than ten times, and the taste changes every visit depending on who is cooking. For example, our tomato egg noodles tasted completely different on three separate occasions. And it’s not just the noodles — dumplings and other dishes are inconsistent too. Owner, you really need to fix this quickly. Otherwise, people will stop coming, and the restaurant will end up being just another so-so Chinese place in the area. (Sep 2025) (Aug 2025) Peter Chang Kitchen is a truly authentic Chinese restaurant. Their noodle dishes are hands down some of the best you can find in Maryland. Since they opened in mid-August, I’ve already been there seven times, which says a lot. Personally, I find the chili oil noodles and the tomato egg green bean noodles far superior to the spicy beef noodle. The shredded pork with garlic sauce might just be the best in all of Maryland. Every other dish I’ve tried has been satisfying as well.
The only downside is that the food doesn’t always come out at the same time — sometimes dishes arrive 10 minutes apart. The service feels not fully optimized yet, but given how new the restaurant is, I expect this will improve over...
Read moreWow, I’ve been to most of Peter Chang’s restaurants in the DMV, and this is a new favorite. I find NiHao to be too salty and Mama Chang’s has become too oily and the quality has fallen since when they opened.
I find this location to not be too salty and to be quite tasty. Yes, it does seem like Peter Chang is just using the prior restaurants dish ware, but I’m guessing that all of the restaurant set up came with the lease, and they’re likely testing whether or not the location can be profitable before investing very much money in it. It didn’t really bother me too much, only that the bowl shape is not the best for soup dishes.
We ordered Napa cabbage with tofu skin, dry fried pork trotters, and the da pan chicken. I’d never seen Uyghur food on a Peter Chang menu! I liked their take on it. I felt the pricing was fair, and I love the smaller tapas portion sizes.
I also much prefer the drive to this location than driving all the way to Fairfax for Mama Chang. I’m sure we will...
Read moreFriendly greeting immediately upon entering the restaurant. Great, attentive service by the staff. I am a long time fan of Peter Changs restaurants and was excited that he took over the former Korean BBQ establishment on Route 1 in College Park, MD I August. While the interior is a work in progress, the food coming from the kitchen is the same authentic Chinese food you would expect from a restaurant with his name on it. His signature Scallion Pancake with Curry dipping sauce is a must. The pork fried dumplings were outstanding, and the Peking Duck is the best around. I was lucky enough today to get to see Chef Chang working in his newest kitchen, making sure everything was up to his standards. I also got to try his spicy Dan Dan noodles with ground pork, chili sauce and green onions...wow, sensory excitement. You should find your way to his newest location, or for sure visit one...
