Pei Wei the fast food Asian Diner owned by PF Changs opened last night at the Avenues food court. I passed by earlier today for lunch and tried them out and as a first experience it wasn’t bad. They serve 5 different kind of Asian cuisines: Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean and Vietnamese. It’s half self service so when you first walk in you need to go to the cash register to place your order and pay. But, once you place your order you can wait at your table and they’ll bring the dishes to you and pick up the plates once you’re done. For the soft drinks they hand you empty plastic cups and you fill them up yourself from their soda station.
I ordered the Chicken Thai Dynamite (pictured above) and thought it was good but needed more sauce while the rice should have been stickier since I had trouble picking it up with my chopsticks (then again I’m really terrible with chopsticks). Price wise I think it’s on the high side for a fast food joint. My dish cost KD3.750 but the portion was pretty decent so that make things a bit better.
I’ve scanned their menu and uploaded onto the blog so if you want to check it out you can do so by downloading it from [Here]

looks okay to me 🙂
Never ate that much Pei Wei in the states. Strange they don’t offer tofu on the menu, it’s a popular option stateside, lame. I don’t know if you tried Pei Wei in the states before, but if you have ate there, is the taste similar?
Amigos was the only reason I used to go to the food court.
Big Ass Burritos RIP
I found another Amigos fan! RIP mega size Beef and Bean Burritos 🙁
I really wanted it to be Cantonese! 🙁
Al Shaya food is all eye candy. They pay so much attention to how the food looks but tastewise they are below mediocre. 3.750 for that???
Well they’re US franchises…
touch of Asia, great food! I really enjoyed !!!!

This is basically the same thing (Panda Express was pretty bad btw)
‘Passed by yestarday but I didnt find a reason to come back there instead of pfchangs, the main dishes were average, the salad was dry and poor compared to pf changs, the prices were high for half service fast food type and they didnt have iced tea which pf changs does.
Where is it located? I was in Avenues yesterday and couldn’t find it.
Food court near McDonald’s
My Chinese friends always go to restaurant in dasman at city center hotel. I assume it is great as they always go there
