Peter Chang Cafe

Found this place while visiting Richmond. The photos looked great and we were craving Chinese, so we ordered takeout (Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken & Broccoli). Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The total came to $36, which is quite expensive for the small portions we received. To make matters worse, the quality just wasn't there. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Great place with lots of hunan and szechuan options. Food came out perfect and quickly. Highly recommend the dry fried green beans & the mapo tofu for that nice tingling sensation

their food used to be a 10/10. But they have since lost their flavor. I can't even get the numbness from the sichuan peppercorn anymore. Their food is still good just not lived up to the standard they set before.

One of the best Chinese food we have ever had. Shan City Chicken was really good. We also had Crazy Beef with Ghost Chili, and it was fantastic. Service was good and this place is nice and clean.

This has been my Wife and I's go to chinese spot since moving to Virginia. We get the hot and numbing chicken pot and grandmas sweet and sour chicken. Lettuce wraps or the scallion bubble pancake for appetizer. Food is always delicious and the service is top notch. The atmosphere is cozy for such high end flavor. Highly recommend

Went in for dinner to a local favorite. Usually food is good. Tonight's order of seafood in stone pot was not one i enjoyed. Was looking for the seafood....There are a lot better dishes which are reallt good from prior visits. Bubble pancake was pretty good.

Peter Chang is hands down the worst Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to—no contest. 1. First of all, the service attitude is unbelievably rude. When I mentioned that four dishes costing nearly $100 was outrageously expensive, the cashier—who was very obviously the owner—snapped back, “If this is expensive to you, then go eat somewhere else.” 2. Second, the portions are a complete joke. The twice-cooked pork was basically all scallions with almost no meat, and the wontons came with only four pieces. How is anyone supposed to get full? As for the taste, it’s nothing but heavy seasoning with no real depth—just artificial, overpowered flavors. This place is an absolute insult to authentic Chinese cuisine. A total garbage restaurant.

This was our first time back in quite a few years, and we went for my birthday. This restaurant is about half the size it used to be, and the menu has cut drastically. We were still able to get our favorite hot and numbing fish and shrimp, but the beef dish that we used to love is no longer on the menu, which was very disappointing. Everything was very good that we had, but still disappointing.And we probably will not go back any time soon, due to the availability of the food we use to really enjoy.

Good for Richmond, great service, the bartender struggled with a basic drink my coworkers ordered. I have been 2-3 they definitely have some signature offerings.

Came on an unbusy Wednesday night for dinner. My girlfriend ordered orange chicken and I ordered the general tso so if you're looking for a restaurant with the same food listed under the different names go to Peter Chang because they brought us the SAME DISH, however hers had ORANGE SLICES surrounding her chicken opposed to my broccoli. Then when you're all finished they will charge you double what Panda Express would for food that is subpar to fast food. Service was fine.

It has been a while since I last went to Peter Chang's. I had forgotten how incredible the food is. My monthly ladies dinner group came here for our March outing. We loved being seated at the big round table so everyone can easily and chat with everyone else. What I think i like best about this place are the menu choices - stuff you do not typically see in "normal" Chinese restaurant. We ordered a variety of apps, including spring rolls and the bubble pancake. All were quickly devoured. We ordered a variety of entrees too. Everyone really enjoyed their choices. I ordered the Seafood in a Stone Pot. I absolutely loved it. Loaded with hunks of fish, shrimp and vegetables in a delicious yellow curry sauce, served in a caldron. It was such a hearty helping that I got two lunches out of it. Service was very nice too. It is worth the trip to Short Pump. I look forward to returning.

Peter Chang is a family staple. We have been coming to the Short Pump location for over 7 years and out-of-state family asks to come every single time. The restaurant specializes in Szechuan food so it's very flavorful and full of spices and peppers, some of which are numbing. Our must haves are the crispy pork belly, seafood in stone pot, dry fried green beans, mapo tofu with beef, golden mountain chicken, and bamboo fish. The restaurant has seating for small and large parties. There are only two round tables with lazy susans that can fit ten people each - perfect for family style dining. The service has really improved over the years. We felt well attended to during our most recent visits.

Last time I was here was actually ten years ago. I absolutely love Peter Chang restaurants and have been to many different concepts of his places. I remember loving the food the last time I was here, but definitely wasn't feeling it this time. I ordered my favorite Peter Change Szechuan style dish - chicken with spicy peppers and onions. It's normally loaded with amazing flavor and heat. The one I got here for lunch was bland and missing some things. Instead of using sliced dried chilis, they used red pepper flakes (definitely not the same flavor). I'm used to the location in Fredericksburg which uses the cilantro stems and leafs completely differently, thus the flavors imparted are proportional to that. Here, they used both, but applied them at the same time and the leafs were flavorless and cooked down too much. The worse part was that something in the flavor was complete off/missing. This was a bland dish because it was missing just one items, but I can't really tell what that item was. It missed the smokey umami flavor, so I naturally want to think it missed cumin, but cumin isn't in this dish. Regardless... I let the server know I wasn't happy with the dish and he was very pleasant about my input. I'm saddened by this visit and next time I'm in the area and seeking authentic Szechuan flavors, I'll go elsewhere. But for the majority of Americans, definitely come here, the food is amazing!

We did takeout at this place, and I wasn't super sure about it at first, but it had some solid foods! We got the Bamboo fish which was really good! I am not exactly sure but it felt very Sichuan style, with more of a numbing spice style. I grew up eating more taiwanese food(which isn't as spicy) and I didn't think the fish was too spicy. We also got the Yuxiang qie zi(Garlic Eggplant?) and that was actually quite good. Eggplant was sauce, flavor was there. The Mapo Tofu did not have meat with it which made one of us not a big fan of it(the only non Chinese person among us , if you care about that kind of detail) The rest of us thought the Mapo Tofu wasn't too spicy and had decent flavor. Overall, pretty good place for takeout, they had it ready very fast and were helpful with our orders.

Overall very quality food. Everything is fresh and done well! This is one of my favorites around here. Pricing is more expensive than your basic Chinese restaurant but the quality is much better in my opinion. You pay for what you get

My one and only go to spot for Chinese food anywhere in the Short Pump area. If you're looking for more than the typical American Chinese standard fare, PLEASE come to Peter Chang. I have been coming here for at least 10 years and am never disappointed .

The food is pretty solid here. Dry fried eggplant, Shan City Chicken-if you like spice, and House Special Fish are all great. Can't go wrong with a bubble pancake either. Our server although endearing and kind didn't check on us much at all and we had to wave him down to get anything needed. We asked for a drink menu and was told, "We have Pepsi products", despite there clearly being other drink options. The (assumed) manager was very kind and greeted our table. Definitely think you should try things outside of the box here.

Peter Chang used to be one of my favorites, but the last couple of times we've been there, the sauce in my favorite dish has been way too sweet.

I had come here a few time in the past and every tie it was closed (remodeling, holidays, etc) and gladly they were open the day my mom and I headed in for lunch. Service it personable and polite. The decor is bright and nostalgic, the teapots are particularly beautiful. The food is delicious, fragrant, and the heat level can be adjusted, Cantonese dishes can get HOT HOT, lol. The spring rolls were pretty good, fried rice delicious, and the 3 pepper chicken was fantastic. I know my mom will be a regular and I'll surely visit upon my next visit to the area.

Friendly service, went on a weekend day at lunch. Ordered lo mein with chicken and shrimp. My lunch mate ordered it with beef. Clean and inviting with daily lunch specials. Food is really good and tasty. Our server was Kenny, a friendly guy, with a NY Yankees cap. Service was also good. This restaurant is across town but, worth the trip.

Once you get inside, you would never know you were in a strip mall! The restaurant is large and quiet. It's well decorated and set up well for big tables (with lots of big plates!). The food lived up to the Peter Chang name and was delicious American Chinese food.

Ever since we found out about Peter Changs 10 years ago, we never stopped going. Now we live in Florida this place is still on my list to go every time I visit my family. Peter Changs has been our favorite place and that just tells you how great this place is. The Peter Chang we went is the one located in Shortpump, we go here because the parking space is so much better compare to the one at Scotts Addition. for appetizers, we ordered the Crispy Pork Belly and the steamed dumplings. Pork Belly is a staple in our Family, its spicy but they cooked it so perfectly! it's crispy and good! as for the main entree we ordered the shrimp with mushrooms, chicken with mushrooms, fish on hot pot and dan dan noodles. ohhhh my goodness! Chicken with mushrooms was the favorite on that table! the sauce they have their was so tasty that it compliments the mushrooms and the chicken together! I couldn't stop eating it! my least favorite was the dan dan noodles, it is somewhat sweet that my brain couldn't just wrap it around what to think of it. This place is a definitely a 100% recommendation! no doubt about it!

This restaurant has a variety of entrees to choose one. My favorite appetizer was the scallion bubble waffle. It's cute and fun to tear apart, although I think the sauce it comes with is bland. Most foods we got was a hit except a couple. We got the crispy pork belly appetizer, but it wasn't crispy at all. It felt like it was just breaded and put in sauce, and the pork itself was very chewy. The Peter Chang's seafood in stone pot with yellow curry sauce was very flavorful and I loved it with the rice and scallion pancake. The tofu and mixed vegetables in stone pot had good flavor and had a good thick sauce using oyster sauce as its base. Although we asked for the beef Szechuan stir fried hot pot to be mild, it was very spicy and didn't have a good sauce to tie it all together. The basil chicken was wrapped in aluminum foil to keep it hot (good thinking), but I wish the chicken and veggies were cooked more to get a nice sear. As for the bamboo fish, it was excellent and had some flavor and kick to it. I also liked the beef mushroom crispy noodles but wish the veggies and beef were more coated in the sauce. It kind of just pooled at the bottom and already made the noodles very saucy and not crispy. Usual Chinese crispy noodles have a deep fried noodle base which makes it crunchy and then have a thick gravy on top that you can then mix in if you want to. Therefore, out of the dishes we got, I'd only really recommend the scallion bubble pancake, bamboo fish, Peter chang's seafood in stone pot (yellow curry sauce), and dry fried green beans (but that's because I like this vegetable). The service was questionable here. I'm not sure if the waitress who served us knew what she was doing. She sounded very unsure but still tried her best to be friendly and accommodating especially when we needed more dishes and utensils. The food came out one after the other and we were overwhelmed with the lack of space. Ambience was busy and bustling so be careful! There's also a lot of parking since this restaurant is in a plaza. I'd say overall some dishes were not worth your buck.

Not sure why they are at 3.8. Hot and Numbing Tofu Skins, Dry Fried Eggplant and Golden Mountain Chicken are all 5 stars! Scallion Pancake and Crispy Pork Belly, also dynamite!

Been about 4 times now! My favorite dish is Grandma's noodles! It's a little spicy but delicious. Service is good.

Food was excellent. Got the 3 Peppers Chicken. I recommend for an authentic Szechuan experience. This was my first time and definitely lived up to it.

Met some girlfriends for a dinner out on a Wednesday night. Not a large crowd which was nice and even though it wasn't busy, we felt a little rushed by the waiter. The friend eggplant, a favorite, did not disappoint. I wanted a lighter dish so I ordered the soup dumplings. Although delicious, I felt the portion and size of the dumplings small. Cost $13. Other friends were able to share a meal though. Not sure about value for $. My dumplings, hot tea and a tip $20.

A group of five of us enjoyed a delightful dinner. The service was good and the food was delicious. Our server was friendly and proactive which was nice. The restaurant was crowded on a Wednesday night. The food came quickly and was really good.

Had the sweet and sour pork, this place truly prepares a fantastic dish. We stopped here the first time 3 years ago and it has become a tradition when Christmas shopping. The service is fantastic, Tiffany was extremely attentive given we fined a little later than the normal dinner hour. The restaurant is a fantastic place that is not super noisy, even when full.

One of my go to places! They have a lot of great dishes there, but one of my favorites has to be the spicy Hunan fish. Do your self a favor and check it out.

My family comes here several times a year and it's one of our favorite spots. It has amazing Szechuan food and is known for all their tongue numbing spicy foods. Definitely come if you can take the heat. All the dishes are served family style so I highly recommend coming with a big a group if you can. That way you can try more of their delicious menu together. Complimentary white rice is served for each customer FYI. Our favorite dishes are: The Crispy Pork Belly (very spicy but such a delicious appetizer) , Bubble Scallion Pancake (this is a giant bubble that you dip into curry sauce similar to naan), Dan Dan Noodles (spicy noodles) , Golden Mountain Chicken (one of their non-spicy dishes, very sweet and crispy), and the String Beans (very well seasoned, a hint of spice). Every single one of these dishes has my stamp of approval. As for spiciness levels, the dishes vary quite a bit. Most of the food is spicy, there are a handful of ones that aren't such as the Fried Rice, the Golden Mountain Chicken. The menu offers some guidance on the spice level in on a scale of 1 pepper to 5 peppers. The spice level is a little inconsistent upon each visit, seems like it's up to whoever is cooking the dish. Some days the spice level is tongue numbing while other days you only taste a hint of it. I myself prefer it to be higher but that's just me. The only criticism I have of this place is that the service can be hit or miss. Some days it's fantastic but other days the servers can disappear for long periods of time. Since they also serve every dish family style, maybe they should include a "lazy susan" at each table to make passing dishes more easy? Aside from that it's a fantastic restaurant with very unique dishes. Definitely worth a visit.

I wanted to love this place but unfortunately it fell short of my expectations. The lo mein was extremely oily, flavorless and the chicken pieces were so tiny they were almost nonexistent. I love Szechuan style cooking but, for the price, I expect a lot more flavor. This was disappointing.

Solid 5/5. Decided to try this restaurant out with a few friends of mine. We live a good Asian cuisine so why not go for a family style Chinese dinner since it was a large group of us. Happy to say, the food was delicious and the the service was great as well. The Food: Our group was very hungry, so we got a lot of food. From chicken, pork belly, seafood, tofu and beef. I think we covered our bases. My favorite of the dishes we had was the "House Special Flounder Fish Fillet". The fish was cooked very nicely and tender and the sauce/veggies that the fish was placed on top of was amazing. Other dishes like the "Mapo Tofu" was delicious as well. Everything had a nice authentic flavor and taste. The Service: The service was great! Staff were friendly and attentive with refills and updates on our meal. The dishes were brought out in a timely manner, even on a busy weekend dinner service. Overall, a solid 5/5. I'd highly recommend trying this place out. I don't think you could go wrong with any choice. The prices are fair for the portions you get as well.

If you're in the mood for spicy, delicious food, this is the place! But plenty of tamer offerings available as well. We've been to the Peter Chang's in Charlottesville and this one is just as good. Wonderful atmosphere and staff.

The food is great. It always is. I wasn't even going to leave a review because I have nothing new to say but I felt I had to comment on the service. The usual things were fine. The server took the order and brought the food in a reasonable length of time and refilled water regularly but he doesn't listen. We ordered four dishes, three of which normally have cilantro. We repeated "No cilantro" at least three times. First dish comes - shouldn't have cilantro and it doesn't. Good. Next dish is full of cilantro. Not just sprinkled on top but fully mixed in. Third dish thankfully has no cilantro. Last one comes covered in cilantro. That's bad enough by itself but the server puts down the plate, looks at it, comments something about it shouldn't have cilantro, and then walks away. Fortunately I don't have an allergy to cilantro, I just have a strong aversion to it. For $65+, though, I would have expected an offer to replace at least one of the dishes they screwed up.

I'm visiting Richmond after some time and I had to come here and I'm glad I did. It was just as I remember. My food was really on point... i had the bamboo fish ( level 3) and hot and numbing combination!! If you like spice both these should be in your list. The fish is always cooked perfectly and the combination has all the meats: beef, fish, shrimp and chicken!!! Usually comes with mixed veggies but I get it with broccoli only. Now on the other hand my friends food... the 3 pepper chicken came out looked and tasted good but she ordered it without mushrooms and the spice level was wrong. They did take it back to make another but this one came out super fast. The veggies in it wasn't cooked at all and the sauce was like water. So it goes back again. Came back just slightly better still not right but she kept it. I can save our server was very patient with us and with the situation. You would think through it the customer is still not happy you would try something else to make them happy. I deducted a star for this.

First time here. We were seated quickly and got our food right away. I liked the pan fried potstickers and sauce. The sechwuan beef wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be.

I've been to 2 other Peter Chang locations, and this one is good too! The good: 1) House Special Fish Fillet was excellent and my favorite dish of my meal! Very savory with delicious sauce, crispy fried fish and mixed steamed vegetables. Beautiful presentation with the large platter over a propane fire, but deceivingly smaller portion. It is a shallow, long dish so it looks much more than is there. For 2 people, the portion was good, but for more than 2 definitely need more main dishes. 2) Dry-Fried Eggplant appetizer was excellent and basically same taste and style of preparation as at other Peter Chang restaurants. Only difference was the dish it was served in was different from the bamboo baskets I've seen at other locations. 3) the interior of the restaurant is much nicer than the photos that I saw in other Yelp reviews. On the fence about the red/orange color, but the chairs and tables were very nice and the bar area was pretty. Not as nice as the interior of Mama Chang in Fairfax, VA, but still much nicer than the older photos. The not so good: 1) Mushroom Crispy Noodles with Chicken was a strong miss for me. Way too much black pepper and salt for my taste and a weird presentation on the small narrow hot plate which meant much of the crispy noodle was lost to become soggy underneath all of the wet chicken, mushrooms and sauce. 2) they charge for more than 1 small bowl of rice that comes with main dishes. Very odd practice as all of the other Peter Chang locations that I've been to follow typical Chinese restaurant culture of giving as much white rice to customers as they want. Overall good experience and will return especially for the house special fish!

My all time favorite restaurant for flavorful Chinese food that never does me wrong. They hit the spot with the spice levels and the balance of flavors. If you love the heat like me then get the crazy beef with ghost chilli! The bamboo fish and dry-fried eggplant are some of my favorites as well.

Really excellent Chinese restaurant for Szechuan food! Spicy and savory, all the dishes are well executed and the food is perfect for those cold weather nights when you need something to warm you up. The spicy peppercorn fish leaves your mouth tingling but it goes so well with a bowl of white rice. The Beef Dry Pot has really tender strips of beef and those delicious crispy potatoes that soak up all the flavors and the chili oil. While the dishes are certainly a bit pricey and portion size can be a little small, this is more than made up by bold food with big flavors. Keep up the good work :)

Placed an order to go. Was missing an item. Fried rice was quite bland. General tso wasn't that spectacular. Probably not the best service that day which is unfortunate. Not the best Chinese food. Price is fair

Kungpao chicken was not good. I get it here often but tonight was terrible. Waiter would not take off my tab, kept bring it back saying this is different..very disappointed in this resteraunt last few times i visited.

Hadn't been here for a while and was hungry for Chinese so ordered a spicy chicken dish to go. The flavor was ok but the dish must have been prepared several days ago. It was very dry - no sauce and seemed like it had been reheated several times. Rice was the same. I'm sorry because this is the closest Chinese but I'll just venture a bit farther next time!

I was in the Richmond area and decided to stop by Peter Chang for lunch. I was contemplating to go to the closer location downtown but heard that this was the new location so decided to drive an extra 15-minutes to dine here. I made the right choice! First off -- lots of parking! Free parking for all! The customer service was top notch from start to finish. The guys were very kind and attentive. Respect to that! I was alone so I didn't want to order too many dishes. I'm bringing a party next time! I went with... Crispy Pork Belly: I've had pork belly in all types of way but this one stands out! Cut thinly, lightly battered, and fried with peppers, cilantro, green onions and topped with more pepper! Don't let it fool you, looks spicy but it's more of a sweet spice. Fantastic! Cook to perfection! Shrimp Fried Rice: A quality bowl of fried rice. Enough for 2-3 people. Fried rice done right! I could've probably opted out for regular white rice but you only live once. Overall, fantastic job! Love the space. Would be a great place to grab some good Chinese food and watch a game! There's a very nice bar section too. Lots of seating. I was the first customer and the place filled up fast! They are practicing social distancing.

3 1/2 - We chose Peter Chang because my husband was craving scallion bubble pancake (forgot picture). Pancake was a little greasy, but good as always and such a cool presentation. Get it if you have not tried one before!! Overall meal was just okay. Service was pretty slow. Two dishes came out 15 min before the third. Since we were eating as a family it was okay, but not ideal. Mountain chicken is good, sweet and crispy and kid friendly, but not exciting. Beef lo mein was fine. Szechuan beef with crispy potato has beautiful presentation. It comes to table with heater lit. I could tell that although we requested 1 chilli level spice vs 2, it was going to be HOT and it was. It feels authentic, but we didn't really love it. Restaurant doesn't have any atmosphere and I think it could be improved to give off authentic, slightly upscale Chinese vibe.

Part 2, updated! ** Please check out my prior review as everything in that review stands true still, just wanted to make a few updates.** -- First and most exciting for me is that their online menu now clearly designates what items can be made Gluten Free. The menu is extensive! I have Celiac and wasn't bothered by anything I ate, but if you're super sensitive I'm sure the restaurant would be more than willing to work with you as the staff seems nice and knowledgeable. -- Second, during these wild pandemic times, I've been playing the safe and cautious route and have stuck to ordering only takeout, and I have to say, Peter Chang's handles it well. The pick up was fast and more importantly the food stayed warm and the fried items didn't get soft or soggy. In terms of food, I've tried a handful of items since my initial review. --Notable items: - Shan City Chicken: This is basically food of the gods in human form. What you get is a plate of cubed and fried chicken, leeks, and dried chili peppers, cooked in a numbing and spicy sauce. If you've never had Sichuan food of the numbing variety, I whole heartedly recommend this. You eat around the chili peppers, but everything else is unbelievably tasty. For my last meal (which hopefully isn't for a while still!), this is what I want. Pretty sure that it's coated in some sort of cornstarch and pan fried as the gluten free version is identical, which is even better news for me. - Three Pepper Chicken: If you like spicy things and you like stir fries, can't recommend this one enough. It's spicy as there are multiple types of peppers in this bad boy. (Jalapenos, Bell Peppers, and I'm guessing the last refers to Chili Peppers maybe?) This one isn't as numbing as the Shan City, it's more of an in your face hot, but not too spicy to not be flavorful. Yum, my mouth is watering just writing this. - Bamboo Flounder: See Shan City Chicken above, but think bigger pieces of fish. It's real tasty. - Ghost Pepper Beef: Okay, so it's hot. Like really hot. Only get this if you like spicy food. But it's tasty. But it's hot. I've tried probably 5 other things on the menu or so and haven't disliked any of them, but the above things are my favorite. Overall closing notes of this Part 2 update: I really love Sichuan Food, and I love places I feel I can safely eat at with my dietary restrictions. Double check mark for Peter Chang's, and I wasn't joking when I said I want Shan City Chicken on my deathbed. Sure, the place is a little expensive and you're probably going to spend $20 - $30 per person, if not more, but it's definitely tasty.

My all-time FAVORITE dish in the Greater Richmond Area: Beef with Onion and Chili Pepper (#L9 on lunch menu and also served on dinner menu too). If you are okay with spice and onions, I highly recommend. The spices are truly integrated into the meat which is also very tender. Lunch is a really great deal as the dish comes with your choice of soup (hot & sour or egg drop) and rice (white or fried). I have been coming to Peter Chang for a while now, and I do have to say the Short Pump location is 10000x better than the Scott's Addition location. The dishes taste more authentic and have better quality. Service is quick and efficient. I have been coming to Peter Chang in Short Pump for a while now, and I am always pleased with my food and experience. I think this is one of the best authentic Szechuan restaurants in the Greater Richmond area. I always come back when I'm craving quality Chinese food.

I got take out of mixed vegetables and tofu. The meal was good and came with a side of rice but I wish I had added a level of spice to it to make the flavors come together more!

Food was amazing and like I mentioned before there's nothing else like Peter Chang's however there's nothing else like a Peter Chang's person who attacks me because I said he was from New York and he sometimes flies down and gives make sauces which I was told by the restaurant and that's where I got my information and they said who gave you your information he's from China I was like OK maybe I won't be going back there again

Great food and service. The eggplant and crispy pork belly were almost too spicy. Will definitely be back.

They are not always perfect. For example, the guy waiting on me had a bad accent and he was not happy in life in general. Their food is always good but they put the wrong soup in my bag. It was my own fault for not checking. I guess it's been a long time before I had to check a bag from a Chinese Restaurant.

Very disappointed. Ordered online at 4:30pm for a 6pm pick up. Got there at 6pm and was told it would be another 20 more minutes. No problem. I waited 50 minutes before the food was ready. Unacceptable!!

Everyone said this was the best Chinese in short pump and they were right. We had the jasmine tea, scallion pancake, low mein noodles and hunan beef. We will def be back. Kids friendly and fast, wonderful service.

Good food, but pricy. Four dishes with spring rolls & won ton soup was $98. Egg rolls were not on the menu. We're in search of the perfect balance of tasty Chinese for a reasonable price in RVA. China Panda in the Quioccasin Shopping Center was our favorite for years, but their quality has dropped over the past few years.

Came here looking to get a dish that is served at the Scott's addition location. We were seated quickly and served just as fast. Ordered the crispy pork belly thinking that's what was at the other location but that wasn't quite it. Bf liked it but I wasn't a fan. Next was a sweet and sour pork dish. This one had a bit more sauce on it. But still wasn't the dish we were looking for. We learned that the two locations have different menus. Both of us think the crispy pork belly is better. I had their bang bang shrimp which really needs another name. There's no kick to it at all and it does not taste anything like any other bang bang shrimp. The taste wasn't bad it just wasn't what I wanted. Lastly I had chicken lo mein which was fine. Nothing special nothing gross. The prices were a smidge high and the inside pretty cold. Our waitress was very nice and attentive and I greatly appreciated her.

Peter Chang Short Pump never disappoints. The food is consistently on point. I love spicy food, there's plenty of menu options. My husband always gets the golden mountain chicken. Great spot to take friends or for a nice evening with family. The staff is super attentive and fair prices for the portions.

Flagship this cannot be the Flagship for Peter Chang restaurant. Let me start by saying we have been to several of the Peter Changs throughout the state of VA. We know the menu fairly well so it's always nice to try the different locations. My family and I thought we would end our day of shopping in Short Pump w/delicious Peter Changs but we were ultimately disappointed. When we arrived the restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon. We were seated immediately and the table was adequate. Tiffany our waitress was friendly but I did feel pressured to order quickly... My daughter ordered her favorite Gerneral Tso(not pictured) she thought her portion was much smaller than the location. My husband ordered the orange chicken he was not impressed and stated the spice level was mild at best. I ordered the dry fried eggplant for an appetizer it was pretty good. For my entree I ordered the tofu skin and cabbage. I literally had to dig under the watery cabbage to get to the 6 strings of tofu skin. The whole entree was absolutely flavor less I couldn't finish it. Before we left I ordered the pork belly after seeing a mountain of this given to the table next to us. I thought maybe the crispy fried pork could salvage the meal but to no avail. It was neither crispy nor plentiful. None of us enjoyed our meal so it's safe to say this will be our first and last time eating at this location.
