text: The biggest problem with Pei Wei is attempting to find an available parking space This particular location shares building space with Starbucks and The Side Bar At certain times of the day or night lunchdinner it is nearly impossible to find parking The solution I have found is to pass the Pei Wei parking lot on McDowell and turn left into the business parking lot for EBL instead They tend to have open parking spots watch out for reserved spaces that are a lot closer than parking across the street In fact I usually park at the EBL lot and walk to Pei Wei or Starbucks that way I am never creeping around the lot stalking patrons for their prime parking spaces nnMy coworkers and I frequent Pei Wei on a weekly basis We order online and pick up at the restaurant I have never in the years we have been doing this had a problem with an online order We did have issues with callin orders but that has been over a year ago when they forgot to include my entruee I made a trip back my order was comped and I was given two free lettuce wrap coupons I left happy Often times if we have more than a few minutes wait Pei Wei comps us free drinks AKA Awesome customer service Their computerized drink machines are just too cool any place that allows me to select syrups to add to my fountain drink is AOK in my book nnDuring the past two years I have had the opportunity to sample nearly every item on the menu My absolute favorites are in no particular order Coconut Curry Chicken Shrimp Pad Thai Ginger Broccoli their version of beef broccoli tastes similar to the Mongolian which is also delicious Japanese Chile Ramen with Beef Pei Wei Spicy Pei Wei Spicy Chicken Salad Crab Wontons Lettuce Wraps and the Vietnamese Chicken Salad Rolls though I am the only one of my friends who likes the salad rolls nnA handy tip for those ordering online is the customize button This allows you to select whether you would like to add extra sauce for free to your order or for the cooks to make your entruee extra spicy There is a bunch of other options to choose from like steaming veggies or protein selectionsnnPei Wei is one of my favorite restaurants I even like it better than gasp PF Changs because you can get some of the exact same dishes Spicy Chicken Mongolian Lettuce Wraps for a lot less cash I also love the ambiance of the downtown Phoenix location the red brick walls and unique flooring do a lot to add the kind of personality that most restaurant chains lack nnWhether you are dining in or picking your meal up you really cannot go wrong with Pei Wei
