What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Peter Chang is celebrated for its authentic Sichuan flavors and generous portions, with many diners raving about the Szechuan hot pot and scallion pancakes. However, some reviews mention inconsistent flavor profiles across dishes and suggest that the ambiance is rather plain, more akin to a strip mall eatery than a fine dining establishment. Service can also be a point of contention, with some experiencing delays or system glitches.
"To be honest we didn't have high expectations due to the reviews, and it was late in the evening, but WOWZA! The schezuan hot pot was the absolute best I have had in America ( I added chicken) and the grandmother's recipe chicken my husband got he said was delicious! It was his birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! Absolute delight! 💯"
Madame Tulipia
"The service and environment is not terrible, but the interior and seating is very plain. So I don't get that nice atmosphere of outside dining. Feels like any other strip mall seating for me, maybe am just picky. The pricing are average, but not cheap at around $18 average.
Mabo Tofu: The meat was a bit chewy, but the sauce was fine. I just thought the meat they used was too chewy for mabo. It was good volumn though. The spice was good, but it just doesn't hit the spot. It felt like it was misses something.
Seafood Stone Pot: This is good, with lots of seafood in it, fish, shrimp, and veggies. Wonderful blend that is fantastic to eat on rice. I'd just recommend and probably would only order this dish.
Sweet and Sour soup was fairly plain and missed the mark. Strip mall soups taste better than this."

"Steamed shrimp dumplings were good the pancake was good not a fan of the dipping sauce. The lamb was spicy and delicious. Chitterlings was not as i was expecting but to spicy. Plum wine was a great"
