Pei Wei Asian Express — Restaurant in Douglasville

Used to love this place. Last couple of time I went it hasn't been that good. Last time I went I asked for my usual which is teriyaki chicken. They said they didn't have that. Kind of seemed it just wasn't on the menu anymore. They also had a sign up that said to try their new sesame chicken. I got some of that and it was terrible compared to the old sesame chicken. Sauce was good but the chicken was cut up so small it was all overcooked and barely edible. Also got some bourbon chicken. Again flavor was good but the chicken was bad. Every other bite you couldn't chew and had to spit out. Sad that they have gone downhill like this.

Update- Went by today on 10/24/22 and it doesn't look good. The name seems to have changed so I guess they were bought out. Unfortunately the quality seems to have suffered. I don't know if they changed food suppliers but they no longer have teriyaki chicken which was one of their best before and what they do have still is not very good. Sad to see a place I've been going to for 15+ years no longer there.

Update 4/1/2025-Went back a few days ago and good news. The food was so much better. It was actually the best sesame chicken I have ever had anywhere I think. Hopefully it's not a fluke. Going to go back and try again to see if it's still good.

Update 7/6/2025 - When this place was first sold it was terrible which is why I left this review in the first place. Since I went back a couple of months ago it has been great though. Some of the best I have ever had. I started going once a week. Only complaint is they got rid of the teriyaki chicken which was one of...

I didn't realize this place has changed names / owners. It used to be Mandarin Express, that explains a lot. My husband asked to sample the firecracker shrimp before he got it and the lady said no, we don't sample the shrimp. So, you have to buy it and if you don't like it... oh well. There is also an additional charge for the shrimp. Honestly, the Mongolian chicken I got was hard and the food quality isn't something I plan to go back for again. The rice was also weird tasting the day we went as well. We both commented on the weird rice flavor (zero vegetables in it / just rice). My husband didn't eat his rice because of the flavor. *After reading the other reviews about a few people getting sick and someone finding a cockroach in their food, we won't be back. The receipt is for 2 meals, 1 drink and the added charge for the shrimp. The money would be better spent at the grocery store or at another food establishment. Back in the day this place was a regular stop for us, things have changed very much since...

Looks good but is soooo nasty. I can eat anything. Forreal, anything but this food is unacceptable. Someone didnt fully rinse out their pots when making the "asian noodles". The noodles literally taste of bleach. It burned my tongue and my mouth water excessively. The honey shrimp still have their tails and their "poo string". And the orange chicken isn't even orange chicken. I don't even know the taste but it's definitely not orange chicken. I'm not expecting exceptional, just edible and this place is not either edible or exceptional. Its so bad i dont even want my money and im not finishing it. Keep the money, you...
