My food is delicious as always and the scallion pancakes are they must have, they come out looking like two blown up beach balls. We also had their beef fried rice, vegetable spring rolls add fried pork belly everything tasted fantastic!
Not too bad but kind of expensive for what it is. The twice cooked pork was very good, the sesame chicken was not. Dumplings were just ok kind of standard. Spring rolls were pretty bad.

Should have read all reviews. The worst Chinese food ever. It was mushy, obviously frozen food. Not fresh. Sweet n sour chicken was neither. It was so spicy hot no one could eat it. The "grandmas noodles were hard , dry and nasty. We threw the 48$ meal in the trash. We wouldn't even let our dogs try it. The very worst we have had. We threw it away. All of it.

We had a very bad experience here. The server forced us to tip 15% when we wanted to tip less. She physically blocked us from leaving to forced us to tip more. Never going back here again.

I was waiting to post a review until after several visits. I have now decided that the staff really don't ever greet politely or smile. If you have any questions, you will get looked at like you have 2 heads and then treated as if you've questioned the staffs intelligence. The hotpot is good here. The rest is on par with frozen meals from the grocery store. I doubt I'll be back

I have to say Peter Changs used to he one of my favorite stops when in the area, but after today I am not sure I will ever go back. The food was very sub-par and for the price of over $100 for five, it was very disappointing. I hurts me to accept this reality, but I won't be back for a "possible" good meal.

Wow. This place has gone downhill in every way imaginable. Used to be the best Chinese in town and sadly now it's just overpriced. Do better!

Just had to worst experience at Peter Changs in Charlottesville. We had high hopes as it was on the James Beard list and it was my first time at the original location. The food tasted old, flavorless, and carelessly made. Our server had no empathy or customer service skills when we voiced our dissapppoitment. Forewarned, do not go.

Overall, I was horrified. Beef tasted like ??⬛ Rest of food was slimy, drenched in corn syrup and flavorless. The General Tso’s chicken tasted like sweet and sour chicken. The bang bang shrimp tasted like sweet and sour shrimp. Everything in my order just tasted like sweet and sour sauce. It was so sweet that you were disgusted by the end of it. Nothing but corn syrup. Fried rice had nothing in it, no carrots, onions, peas, nothing, just brown rice. I have had much better Chinese at much cheaper places. This is a disgrace. Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. Which is sad, because I love Chinese food. No wonder they have a 4.1 rating. It should be even lower than that.
Their chinese food is the best in town. The food has good portions and the taste is not overly salty. My favorite dish is the tripe and tendons.

I used to come to this restaurant and I thought it was wonderful. It is not anymore. The Cilantro eggrolls were oily and soft. The dried eggplant appetizer was unrecognizable. We could not find any eggplant in this. It was all batter and greasy. My fish dish was supposed to be sauteed. It was fried. My companion #1 had bland shrimp with vegies, my companion #2 had smoked tofu and has food poisoning today. We will obviously not be back. You are now warned.

Overtaxed! Be cautious! They charged us 11.8% instead of 5.3% without any notice. We are just travelers so that we were not familiar with the local tax rate and it was hidden. Food is overpriced too. American Chinese food. Never come again.
