The only reason I downloaded this Yelp app was so that I could leave bad reviews. But today, that is not the case.

I went to Peter Chang's in Rockville last night, and as usual, the food was delicious! The Dry-Fried eggplant really hit the spot. The flavors burst in your mouth but they aren't so overpoweringly spicy that you need to wipe the sweat off your face. (Just the way I like it!) We also had the shrimp with walnuts small plate order, which was tasty but perhaps a little too much sauce on it. (I prefer less sauce and should've mentioned it when ordering.) And for our main course, we had the Seafood Curry Stone Pot. This bubbling and boiling pot was loaded with curried fish, shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, and baby bok choy. I couldn't stop eating it. The ambience of this restaurant is good for groups and kids, although I came here on a date. The music was really good. They played all my favorite tunes, soulful classic songs. I will be back again! read more

Authentic Sichuan fare. With so many new competitors around Rockville, Peter Chang still stands out for its bold flavors & numbing dishes. My absolute favorite dish was dry-fried eggplant; nothing comes close to its unique combination of spicy/savory powder, crispy crust, and tender interior. The cumin lamb was slightly on the dry side, yet absorbed much of the aromatics and chili. I would highly recommend those 2 dishes for a flavorful experience. read more

One of our favorite places for Chinese food in Rockville, we most recently held a pre-wedding Chinese banquet here for family and friends. The food is always delicious and excellent and the staff friendly. Our particular favorites include the fried eggplant "fries," the grandma's noodles, and the mapo tofu. When we did the pre-wedding banquet, the owners gifted us with hand-crafted fried sesame balls as part of the dessert and they were delicious (as was all the other food served, especially the cumin lamb shank, sweet and sour whole fish, and the spiral-cut eggplant dish). Would highly recommend this place whether you are looking for a casual Chinese meal or a more formal event. read more

Warning! If it's not already obvious to you, this place serves hot hot Szechuan cuisine! I'm talking lip-numbing, tongue-burning, Chinese food! If that's what you're looking for, look no further! I really only came here for some appetizers and it ended up that most of them were fried and spicy! We ordered: Peter's Big Bun, Scallion Bubble Pancake, Dry Fried Eggplant, and other menu items. With so much friedness, it was hard to tell what was what after a few bites. The Peter's Big Bun was mediocre--just a big fat XLB which wasn't that good and difficult to eat! It's better for a picture than it is to eat. So, unless you know you want spicy spice, then don't come here! Also, be careful about ordering too much fried food, it's not good for you! Maybe a better plan is to just stick with entrees instead of the appetizers which are mostly just filler. read more

Peter Chang's is great. The restaurant has changed now so I haven't been to the new location in Gaithersburg. Love the Hot and Sour soup, the eggplant dish, the chicken and beef dishes. Tasty food! read more

Absolutely amazing I love this so much because of the authenticity and the overall flavor read more

Better ambiance and service than ever before and the same delicious food that we have gotten used to over the years! I came back to my favorite haunt from Detroit and at first I was worried after seeing the old signage removed but there's absolutely nothing to worry about... 5 Stars!!! read more

A very conflicting review. First. The location is very easy to visit. The parking garage A qnearby offers free validation for 2 hrs. With a quick walk to the restuarant, you're all set. They state they require reservations, however they are a very large place, and welcomed many walk-ins while we were there. Admittedly, the service was awful. When we attempted to order anything: apps, food, a drink, it was a whole ordeal to flag down a waitress each time. The first time we secured a waitress, I asked for a happy hour menu, she stated they don't do happy hour and just left. It took another few attempts to flag her back down for appetizers. We ordered the bubble pancakes for the table. They were deliciously worth it. Appealing because they just look fun to try, their taste backs up their hype. Warm, delicious, buttery, flakey. They were dreamy. The sauce is a must dip! It fed the three of us perfectly, with some leftovers to take home. We ordered our separate dishes. Between the three of us, the spacing in which the dishes were brought out was awkward. One friend received hers, then we sat there for a decent ten minutes waiting. When the next friend's dish came, it was the wrong meal. This then took a longer time to correct (first finding the waitress to let her know, then her coming back to take the old dish away, then bringing a new dish). Even while that was going on, it was another ten minutes before my dish came out. I ordered the Stir Fry Intestines. Familiar with asian intestine meals, I was amped. The juices tasted delicious, the veggies were delightful...however the intestine had a funky small-as if uncleaned. This was overly distracting. It impacted the dish, as the smell made it taste concerningly strange. I worried if it was really just unclean, I'd get sick. I tried to ask my waitress, for the potential to get a new dish, but she didn't really listen, told me it was how it was cooked and left. So, I ultimately took the financial hit of not eating the meal, took out all the intestine, and tried to salvage the veggies and the rice. Overall, in trying my friend's meals, it was all delicious. I am amped to Peter Changs again, but maybe another location. And if this one, I will def. stick to regular, non complicated meals expecting high standards. read more

We were a party of six and we all loved everything. The new look is light and bright. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. We had the fresh shrimp dumpling and scallion pancake appetizers. Our server, Ricky, told us the shrimp takes approx 15 mins to prepare. So it came with the other dishes, as we requested. And he kept the hot jasmine tea pouring throughout the meal which we greatly appreciated. We ordered the shrimp w asparagus and mushrooms, kung pao chicken, stone pot seafood curry and vegetable fried rice. The portions were generous and the price was appropriate. There was enough left for another meal or two. We thoroughly enjoyed Kungfu Kitchen and welcome them to the neighborhood. read more

Superb, authentic Szechuan dishes, generously portioned, beautifully presented. Exceptional value too. Just reopened under new management 12/2024. Will definitely return soon! read more

Style: Chinese Szechuan cuisine (with a bit of Northwestern and Shanghainese twist) in the Rockville town center. Service: OK. They seem to employ a rather diverse group of waiters as well. Food: Double-cooked pork belly (Hui Guo Rou): seasoning was good, especially because they used seasoned beans so there is a bit of thick, savory flavor, not just extremely hot. Pork belly slices could use a bit longer pan stir-fry to make them curl. Grandma's noodle: Szechuan seasoning and Northwestern style flat noodles. Seasoning was alright, a bit on the sour side. Noodles were a bit chewy. Preserved vegetable fish slices soup: a bit bland. Fish was a bit mushy. Spicy pork feet: good dish, pork feet was cooked tender and seasoning of cumin and spices brought a good flavor. Stir-fried Yuba and Cabbage: good dish, very refreshing after tasting a lot of spices. Overall: I'd say 3-3.5 stars. Not star-struck, but a more-than-passable place for Chinese food. read more

Peter chang definitely doesn't deserve a 3 star rating on Yelp! I think it should be a 4 but I give 5 stars because I think this place is underrated. Their intestine and spicy fish filet dishes are my favorite. You don't come here to eat typical Chinese American fare so if you're not going to order things like loofah and intestine then this isn't the chinese restaurant for you! read more

Was excited to try their numbing chicken, but wasn't very numbing or spicy. I decided to drive over to Rockville to get takeout from here and Jin river across the street to compare. I got the Chicken in Szechuan Hot & Numbing Sauce. It was listed as 2 out of 3 . Plenty of chicken in a mix of veggies but the sauce just had no flavor compared to anything I've had in NYC or even kung fu 12. Very disappointed as I heard about this place being the spot to go to for Sichuan in Rockville years ago. Not against going back, but I guess I need to make it clear I want it actually spicy and actually numbing or maybe the other dishes are better. read more

The food was delicious. Peter and company never fail! They have added a few new items and we tried them. No regrets here.

(4) ~ very good overall food & service. Note: Most of the dishes can be shared with another person. MENU: ** Water (tap) = (4) very good, must be filtered;) They leave a bottle on the table too. ** Pork Ribs & Mushroom Soup = (4) very good & Shareable. ** Pork Soup Dumplings = (4) very good ** Cumin Lamb = (4) very good read more

The food was great, especially if you are a fan of spicy food. Dined in on a Monday evening and it was not very busy. The service was fast but a bit too rushed and the we had to remind the server to bring some items we previously asked him for earlier. Not a big deal but you may want to be prepared to get asked a lot if you are ready to order when you are not quite ready yet since the menu is pretty extensive. One of our main dishes was a Double Cooked Pork Belly - it is sliced thin and served with scallions and was very nicely prepared and tasted great. Highly recommend especially if you are looking to eat something that is mild - seems like most things on the menu are fairly spicy, I suppose it is a staple of the Sichuan style cuisine. The other main was this Diced Beef with Peanuts and Chili Peppers. It was served over an edible bowl that was wafer-like, at first I thought it was potato but it was more like a flour based shell. The spice level of this dish was very high and the spices used make this a drier dish compared to other things I have ordered. It was pretty intense but I liked it but if you do not like spicy do not get this, and have water ready if you do. Other than the service being a little too rushed for my liking, I enjoyed eating here and look forward to coming back to try more stuff. read more

Had taken takeout from Peter Changs a month prior to visiting the store tonight for an in-house meal. In our $150 take out order we noticed upon arriving home (20 minutes away) that they had forgotten to include the 5 orders or rice that we had paid for. And yes, rice is not included in any entree from Peter Changs. The manager could not have been more apologetic and offered us a free entree upon our next visit, fair enough, everyone can make a mistake. Upon explaining the situation to the manager this evening, she said she could only offer to pay for the rice for tonight's dinner. She was looking at the cost of what we originally didn't get, not the inconvenience of 3 couples eating chinese food with no rice. So we finish our meal, the bill comes and the rice has been charged for. Our waiter brings this up to the manager who says she will take off 1 order, that's $1. None of this is about the money, obviously. But the manager had no concept of customer service or making something right. Very disappointing. As a side note they charged us $2.75 for fountain sodas and our refills where charged at full price. Needless to say we won't return as customer service and customer satisfaction is of no concern to this restaurant. read more

Pretty disappointed in the taste of food. I ordered lo mein and fried rice and they just tasted like oil. No seasonings, just rice and noodles tossed in oil and put in the container. On a positive note the pricing and portions were great. I just wish the food lived up to the reviews. read more

Former Peter Chang's has been completely remodeled, restaurant is very striking & pleasant. Service & food are excellent. Love variety of the small dishes. Crystal shrimp dumplings & stir-fried string beans are especially good. read more

My husband and I come to Kung Fu kitchen (formerly Peter Chang's) often and a must visit for my Chinese in-laws and our out of town guests. The food is excellent and flavorful. The Mapo tofu is the best I ever had (don't tell my mother in law, her's is also very good). Even the meatless version is packed with flavor and can be a bit on a spicy side, but in a good way. In terms of appetizers, we love the friend eggplant and the grandma noodles. The service is fast and attentive, and while it's not a large restaurant, the recent remodeling is inviting and bright. We were worried when the ownership changed, but they haven't missed a beat. read more

Eh I don't think I'd come back here. Went for lunch , food wasn't the first but I could tell hot and sour soup and Kung Pao Chicken felt very jelly. Also it would be nice if the waitress learned how to hold the dishes and didn't dip her thumbs in our soup or rice. Ambience is average , your typical Chinese restaurant, nothing new. read more

Busy day working from home, still trying not to go out unnecessarily due to Covid. No time to make an effort to fix lunch myself. So I order via Uber Eats from Peter Chang. I had heard about this place, generally good news, so I wanted to try it for myself. Simple quick order: #12 Dry Fried Eggplant, #14 Bamboo flounder fish, and a side of rice. This was the perfect size because each was appetizer sized. Typically if I want more than one lunch dish I get monstrous sizes from restaurants. In this case, I gobbled it all up, perfect portion size for me for lunch. Both dishes were excellent, although they both seemed to have virtually the same preparation/seasoning. Spicy without being too hot. Both were delicious. The Uber Eats connection was terrific. It took me 3 minutes to order, and the food came within 20-30 minutes. Value was not great. The two appetizer-sized dishes + rice came to $27, which seems expensive. Then with Uber fees, tax, tip, the total was $38.85, pretty ridiculous for a quick lunch. But then again, I was able to work and probably earned more than that in the time it would have taken me to prepare a meal. Looking forward to the day when I try Peter Chang in person. read more

Didn't feel like cooking.... Ordered some; Kung Pao shrimp-DELICIOUS!!! Full of perfectly cooked shrimp, sweet bc peppers, hot peppers, asparagus and peanuts. I asked for less spicy.. the spice was perfect and pretty intense but completely enjoyable and the spice was done right, not too overpowering and accentuated the food. Wow. Steamed pork dumplings-The dumplings were stuffed with pork and onion, not too much dough but the Star was the sauce! They gave a soy vinegar but the other sauce was AMAZING!! 10/10 Egg Drop Soup- Flavorful and delicious..... Everything tasted fresh and I'll be ordering again. read more

Went here for lunch on Valentine's day with my sweetheart. We were seated immediately and ordered the luncheon specials. Hot and sour soup was excellent. Kung Pao chicken was also very good. Their food is very spicy which I like, just a warning. We plan to come back again in the near future. read more

Very extensive menu from which you are guaranteed to find something you like! My favorites from here are the fried eggplant, bamboo flounder fish, stir fry cabbage, fish & tofu in hot spicy broth, and the double cooked pork. The scallion bubble pancakes are always a fun appetizer, but I dislike the curry sauce. Just a note that the fried eggplant, bamboo flounder fish, and crispy chicken are all cooked very similarly with onions, chili peppers, and cilantro, so they taste the same. If you don't want that kind of repetition, I would only order one of those three. read more

I really enjoyed this place. To put it simply, this place has deliciously spiced food at generous portions at a reasonable price. I do admit not all their dishes are a hit. The pine nut fish was uniquely cut into cubes and deep fried so that you can satisfyingly pluck each meat but the sauce was overly sweet. The hot and numbing was a bit lacking in flavor though some may have an acquired taste for the "numbing" part. The best dish I enjoyed though was the spicy cumin lamb with white rice. That was the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The service was also great. The hostess and waiter were all very helpful and attentive. The only other downside is that there is only one stall in the bathroom. For a restaurant of that size, there needs to be more as I couldn't use it for 15 minutes and ended up just leaving anyways. read more

The food is excellent. Dining area is small and a bit crowded if you need a high chair. I recommend a booth and parking your kid in the corner, away from all the hot plates that come out. I'd recommend the basil eggplant, fish in stone pot on the specials menu, Beijing duck, fried eggplant and pork rib and mushroom soup. We also had the crispy pork which was good but not as spectacular as the other dishes. For the kids we got the salt and pepper shrimp and shrimp fried rice. read more

I thought I had never been here but once inside I remembered I had gone once, years ago. I guess that means my first visit wasn't very memorable. Today I went with my colleague for lunch and we checked out the lunch menu. We decided to order an entree and split so that we could share. He ordered the Sesame Chicken and I ordered the Orange Chicken. Each entree comes with a spring roll and soup (wonton, egg drop, and hot & sour). My colleague didn't want soup so in place of it he got an extra spring roll. He also asked to substitute fried rice in place of white rice. When we got our food he really enjoyed the spring roll which came with what appeared to be duck (orange) sauce. My colleague said the chicken was just all right. We both agreed the sesame chicken was heavily battered and did not have a lot of chicken. Also, he said compared to other restaurants the chicken pieces were smaller. I will say the best part of our dining experience was our server, Amy, who was helpful and pleasant. When she brought out our food she asked if we wanted any sauces. Additionally, while we were wrapping up our tab, she so kindly asked if we needed our parking validated, which I totally would have forgotten about. My colleague said he would come back for the spring rolls which he really enjoyed. I would probably be inclined to go to other ones. read more

The service, food and ambiance was excellent. If you come here you must get the eggplant fries and the three pepper chicken.

Came back for the full dining experience & on all fronts, most enjoyable. Glad to break bread among friends & having the opportunity to share different foods encircles the gathering. Service was amazing even while it was a full house, foodie roll call of everything that hit my taste buds: Cilantro Flounder Fish Rolls (any doubt?) - Delicious Pan Fried Sesame Pancake - Ok, after dipping in the sauce Bamboo Flounder Fish - My FAVORITE Dried Fried Eggplant - Scrumptious I would make the trip back to Rockville Town Center often due to the wonderful culinary creations & service, however PC's new restaurant Q by Peter Chang is opening up across the street from work & offers all of my favorites...just delighted it's all part of the same Szechuan cuisine family. read more

3.5 stars. Nice service, large portions, but overly greasy food with an underwhelming homogeneous taste (all the dishes tasted too similar.) I really enjoyed my Hot and sour soup, but I was underwhelmed by the other recommended dishes. For an appetizer, we ordered the bubble pancakes , which were fun, but I have an unpopular opinion and personally wouldn't order again. I love curry but wasn't a fan of the accompanying curry dipping sauce. For entrees, we had the chef's signature three peppers with beef on a hot plate, Szechuan Kung pao chicken, and sliced beef with black pepper (my favorite of the 3.) Although all portions were large and contained mostly meat (rather than a cheap vegetable filler,) I was turned off by how insanely greasy they were. I appreciated the level of spice that I find lacking in most suburban Chinese restaurants, and I'm glad to report nothing was too intense. I was really surprised how similar every dish tastes. Next time, I will order the black pepper beef (slightly sweet), hot and sour soup, and try a new dish. Our server was attentive and informative and I liked that she left a jug of lemon water at our table to help ourselves. Our visit was to celebrate a birthday, so I found it odd that we weren't even given fortune cookies. Maybe it's not their style? I hope management fixes the front door very soon. I touched the shattered glass more than once accidentally and there is a sign to not touch only on one side. It's really dangerous!! The restaurant will validate your parking at the neighboring garages for the first two hours. read more
