The quality of food and variety of dishes is excellent. My reason for only four stars out of five is the ambience. I guess it comes with the territory of being part of a shopping mall setting, but something is missing once you step inside the restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the staff is super friendly and very service oriented, I just think they need a little more professionalism and formality when tending to their customers. read more

The food is very good, some of the best Chinese I have had since I moved out of Queens. Sadly the service was awful. The waitress messed up our order (doubled up on one app, forgot another), she asked us if we wanted a drink refill, but took over 20 minutes to bring it and brought us the wrong drink when she did. She didn't apologize, just told us she was busy. I will go back, but avoid her section. read more

So a friend of mine raved about this spot and it sure did not disappoint! The food was spectacular! Upon entering the restaurant you are greeted by a hostess and taken to a booth. I opened up the menu and saw a huge variety of spicy and non spicy dishes that looked authentic and delicious! For appetizer we ordered the dry fried eggplant which was so tasty. It was large fry shaped wedges of eggplant fried to a perfect crisp and seasoned with tasty garlic spice and garnished with ultra hot dried chili peppers. For entrees the 3 of us shared dry fried string beans, shrimp and scallop stir fry and twice fried pork. The dry fried string beans were the best out of 3! They were flavorful, moist and spicy! The twice fried pork came with a lot of leeks and had a nice soy marinade flavor. The shrimp and scallops were super spicy and sautéed with vegetables and peanuts. The service was phenomenal! Our waiter was friendly, funny and attentive. I can't wait to come back to try more dishes! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect coming here since I've had bad experiences in the past with Chinese restaurants outside of major cities simply because they aren't authentic and bring an Americanized twist to their menu to accommodate for the locals. It's a solid game plan for doing good business to cater to local tastes but I feel it takes away the opportunity to try different cuisines at their truest form. Luckily Peter Chang is authentic to Sichuan cuisine. It's as good, if not better than many of the restaurants located in New York City. From their apps to their entrees, every dish me and my family ate were delicious. Staples like the Peking Duck were spectacular and a must try. Service was friendly and the tables were spacious. read more

Excellent food, large pours of booze, ok service, strange decor, horrible music for a Chinese restaurant!! We had a comical moment when the staff couldn't figure out how to lay a round table for 4 but they made up for it with a free app which was a nice gesture. What I can tell you is that the food is the real deal in terms of spice, garlic, and a little too much salt. Prices are reasonable also and the pours are very large! Being in a mall it has a very large footprint so hopefully they can survive! I will go back for sure. read more

Called and emailed order for pick up, I was told 5:00pm And had to wait a 40 minutes for my order! When I brought my Peking duck home the skin and meat were all rubbery, and the General Taos chicken was over breaded and tasted over sugary with no crunch!! Manager offered to credit me but never did. What a waste of money!! read more

Ordered Vegetable lo mei. Very disappointing. Way too oily. Basically no taste. Too bland. Service was good and decent cleanliness read more

5 stars because bamboo flounder and twiced cooked pork were very very good, and I'll definitely be eating here more. Only thing I can say is that the whole boneless fish was really dry/overcooked when I got it for takeout. I don't know why that might have been, but it really just wasn't very pleasant to eat. Definitely go for bamboo flounder instead if you get a fried fish dish. read more

Got a recommendation from a family member for Peter Chang. Apparently they make some of my hometown food so we came here after skiing. Doupi was what I was looking for as I came from Wuhan China. It was decent, not a fantastic one as compared to my standard back home but was good enough. And it seems to be the only place nearby that offers it, no complaint. We also got their Peking duck. Pretty good. The duck can be a little bit more fatty but the pancakes were well-made. The portion was also good. The vegetables with tofu skin, Changqing spicy fried chicken and the steamed ribs were my favorites. Very authentic though not as spicy. The flavors were mostly right. The dry pot with prawns and the pumpkin cake with red bean filling were ok. Not that tasty and the tastes were Americanized so I don't enjoy them as much. Great service and the owner was a great man. I was told this restaurant used to have more Wuhanese food but they were removed due to localization issues. 4 star overall but a bonus star for hometown representation. read more

4 stars is really accurate for this place. It's solid, but nothing amazing. Their fish was what I enjoyed the most. Shrimp was ok, a bit salty. Will likely try it again. read more

Nothing really special about this place. The food isn't rememberable, not really an America Chinese style food but not an authentic Chinese food neither. I can tell it is a family own and run place. I don't think they were ready to run a place that big. I just didn't feel they were prepared. The services were not organized. The owners were sitting around a big table with their laptop on. Not interested to go back. read more

Delivery was inedible. Food was all soggy. Cheap ingredients and not even good cheap food. Everything looked the same.

Fried eggplant sticks are insanely delicious. A must try.....they are crunchy and they do have a little zip to them.

Sadly, probably too authentic for Stamford tastes. This is a legitimate Chinese restaurant which tastes like actual Sichuan food vs the standard Americanized fare. From the light numbing sensation of the Sichuan peppers (rare to find outside of Chinese areas) to how well prepared the dry fried eggplants are, this is an accomplished restaurant. Every dish I've ordered here has come out tasting the authentic and that might be the issue with this restaurant in the Stamford area. Trust Sichuan flavors might be off putting to people who are expecting the equivalent of PF Chang flavors (highly sweetened Americanized Chinese dishes) when they come in. That said, try this restaurant if you want to taste what Sichuan Chinese food tastes like. Keep an open mind and you will probably enjoy the change in flavors. read more

What an abysmal disappointment from peter chang. There was a very loud high pitched noise coming from the kitchen that made for an overall horrible dining experience. The food was decent at best but the atmosphere was terrible. Things scattered everywhere and paperwork all over tables.... just overall uninviting and unappealing. Nothing made me want to stay or spend more money, at all... read more

Two time visit to date.. Have to rate food as yummy.. The same dishes twice each visit, so really enjoyed them. The service was good.. both times we went a little closer to closing. Yesterday's visit the waitress was good, but definitely ready to wrap up the table. Would love to try a few more dishes in the future. read more

Ok here's the long and short of it. Peter Chang's is not only the best Chinese restaurant I've been to in CT but ranks up there with the great ones in New York as well. The main menu has Peter Chang's specialties which are so good and there's a separate special menu that is exceptional as well. Favorites include, Xaio Long Boa soup dumplings, Dou Miao stir fried pea shoots w/ garlic, Peking Duck or Qilin boneless duck breast, Roasted mushrooms curry stew, Dragon eggplant w/ spicy garlic and Stir Fry Bok Choy w/ bean curd skin etc. Peter Chang has a cult like following of foodies and a very interesting back story you can read about in newspapers and magazines including CT Magazine. Everything tastes great and is reasonably priced. read more

We so wanted to finally have a great Chinese restaurant in downtown Stamford, but this is not it. The server was not very knowledgeable and the food was very greasy and extremely spicy. We will not be returning. read more

When we walked in there was no host or hostesses. Told us to leave because they are only taking reservations. People started seating themselves and get servers to bring them menus. read more

Five big stars for the high quality and authenticity of the food at Peter Chang's. Three to four stars for the ambiance - which is purely functional in this slightly modified, former California Pizza Kitchen space. The sensational menu, however, outweighs anything disappointing about the worn decor. This is by far the best Chinese food in Stamford. It's so good, we keep returning to try new dishes. (I dined there six or seven times in the first month after it opened.) Let me emphasize that this is not your typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant with Americanized dishes, mild flavors, and sticky sweet sauces. Come prepared for bold flavors, sizzling preparations, and creative, yet traditionally prepared dishes. This is a place to be adventurous. The dinner portions are large enough to share. Their lunch specials are smaller and seem well priced to me. Though the selection of lunch specials is fairly limited, the full dinner menu is available at lunch. Enjoy! read more

This is a new restaurant that I believe will be very successful! Hard to find a "high-end" Chinese place but this is one. The restaurant has a spacious open floor plan with a circular bar facing a TV. Tea is served in fancy, heavy stone teapots and even the brown rice is special and looks more pink than brown (I think because it may have had some red bean in it?) Ordered many things but my favorite was the Peking duck! Comes with a beautiful vibrant pink dipping sauce that I have never had before (since it's a Peter Chang specialty); it is made with rose petal and garlic. Be prepared to drink a lot of water because the food is deliciously spicy (true to its Szechuan style). The dessert was delicious; somehow even the strawberry and mango ice cream was better than your average ice cream. And the pumpkin/red bean balls were incredible. Service was also very nice, the wait staff was very pleasant and the manager's son came over to make sure we were having a great experience. read more

It's amazing to have some of the comfort foods from my childhood recreated so faithfully and deliciously. But for anyone, the food here is just so good. Everything is constructed lovingly and presented beautifully. Obviously the Peking Duck is a highlight - only Peter Chang would include a rose petal garlic sauce along with your usual fixings, done well. Another must-order is the Jingzhou Fish Cakes, delicately arranged in a delicious broth. The Scallion Bubble Pancake would be fun for any kids tagging along, Thousand Layer Veggie Roll for yummy lotus flavor, and the Red Bean Pumpkin Cake an excellent end for anyone who likes sesame balls as much as my family does. Will definitely be a frequent visitor! read more

Food: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Delicious modern northern chinese food. Peking duck ($50) - 4/5. Delicious duck, very fatty. Nice crispy skin. Served with all the condiments and flour tortillas. Lion's head meatballs ($19) - 2/5. Super salty and weird texture. The dish was heavy and overly flavored. Bok Choy with tofu skin ($15) - 4/5. Made with delicious flavor in a thick sauce. Loved the tofu skin, adds such a texture! Szechuan chili shrimp ($23) - 3/5. Oddly sour and spicy. Shrimp was dry and over cooked. Cumin lamb ($25) - 5/5. Loved this! read more

Epic Fail..if your looking to raise your blood pressure this is the place for you. Food was delivered 5 min after we ordered it...hmm. they were out of green tea..weird The waiter was quite annoying. The place Is clean.High priced and super salty. I mean Super salty. Won't be going back there. read more

Came here for lunch during the work day and loved it! Our server was courteous and clearly knew her way around the way. We ordered the vegetable spring rolls and the scallion bubble pancake. As fun as the scallion bubble pancake was to eat, it lacked in flavor compared to a normal scallion pancake. For my entree I had the Mongolian beef and the side of brown rice - it was very delicious! Highly recommend it, even the brown rice was delicious. It also came with vegetables on side. Looking forward to trying out the rest of their menu! read more

Tasty food, great service, careful packing. Made the perfect beach picnic. Love the Peking duck especially.

Great more authentic Chinese food, service and ambiance. Glad to see this place added to the mix. We had the seafood stone pot, dumplings, braised noodles, fried rice and pumpkin red bean dessert. Everything tasted great. Definitely will be back to try the other dishes. read more

Service is phenomenal! Food is solid and authentic if you know what to order. If you're looking for the American Chinese menu you'll have no issues there. If you're looking for something different, ask for some recommendations from the manager, she'll help you out. If you're ordering spicy you may adjust your spice level to your liking. Definitely try some of the Sichuan dishes with rice. 5/5 would go back. read more

Omg delicious! This was my second time here in two weeks! I forgot to take pictures but food was amazing and manager I believe lee? Was super kind and attentive. Staff are all great. Favorites- we had the mountain chicken, steak in brown sauce, chicken and broccoli, chicken fried rice, shrimp low mein and the spring rolls. They were all delicious. If you're ever at the Stamford town center or in the area and craving Chinese.. you will not be disappointed! read more

Update, they added American Chinese menu, and its phenomenal (at least the two dishes I had like general Tso and sesame chicken). The service is great, and the people are nice. We go alot and nothing but friendliness. Cant wait to keep trying their food read more

My first time having lunch. The place smells (rug?) and of course, two little barefoot kids are running around the restaurant. ‍...yeah... Food is ok. Just like in front of the menu : American Chinese Menu. (So don't expect too much) read more

Food is ok. Service is abysmal. Will not return. My advice, hire new servers. Offer more authentic food. read more

This place is so special. You have to be patient when it first opens. We were huge regulars at the Charlottesville location after it first opened and the first few weeks can be a little strange: wrong food coming, some confusion but the food is dynamite. What not to miss: Dry fried eggplant is amazing as are the bubble pancakes and the shredded tofu skin. The spicy flounder and double cooked pork are the best you can find anywhere in the country. read more

Love it here. The Peking Duck is to die for. Food is fast and service is great. We've been multiple times and each time it's just as good if not better. Try the pork dumplings and the chicken lettuce wraps. They'll make sesame chicken too even though it's not on the menu (it's amazing). There are so many things but these are our go tos. Authentic Chinese AND Americanized Chinese all in one. read more

I was just looking at ratings and decided to try Peter Chang's or is it PF Chang's? The food was nothing special. The next day as leftovers, it was awful. Chinese food is usually better the next day. Also it was very expensive for what it was. We had the spicy dumplings (the best of all), dan dan noodles (very dry, little sauce), Mongolian beef (tasteless), and shrimp lo mein (far too salty and bland). read more
