Peter Chang Gaithersburg is currently offering a limited time AYCE dim sum and tapas brunch from Mon-Fri 11-3pm for $26/person and $6 mimosa or house beer. Our favorites were the crystal shrimp dumpling, Chili Oil Pork Wontons, Spicy Dry Fried Bamboo Fish, Oyster sauce tofu skin roll and Green Beans w. Pickled Cabbage. The barbecue pork bao were undercooked, and honey pork rib were overcooked, but most of the other things were decent. We thought it was a good price especially for the quality. Our server was attentive however there was a minor hiccups (second day of launching the limited time AYCE). They gave us two dishes we didn't order, and our server didn't put in 2-3 dishes so we had to notify our server when they didn't come. There are two private bathrooms and they were clean. They also have a private room for parties. There is a small private parking lot.

The new menu is a good departure from their old menu when they were located at the rockville town center, With often changing items, you will always have something new to pick from. I highly recommend the soup dumplings and salt and pepper chicken. The quality of the food here is great, but service is lacking, often having to sit for 10-29 before anyone even comes to your table. The place looks great and has a great atmosphere, and I am glad they moved closer to the germantown area.

My husband has been visiting Peter Chang Gaithersburg for years with his coworkers and has always raved about their dishes. We finally had the chance to dine here together, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We ordered Peter Chang's signature Peking duck (whole), which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside--truly a showstopper. The Hot Chili Oil Beef Tendon (cold dish) was packed with bold flavors and had an incredible texture. The Mama's Handmade Noodles with Chili Oil were delightfully chewy, with just the right kick of spice. The Spicy Dry Fried Eggplant was crispy and addictive, even for someone who isn't usually an eggplant fan. And, of course, the famous Scallion Bubble Pancake--crispy, airy, and so fun to eat--was the perfect complement to our meal. Every dish was expertly prepared, bursting with authentic flavors, and served with great attention to detail. The staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're a fan of authentic Szechuan cuisine or just love bold, flavorful dishes, Peter Chang Gaithersburg is an absolute must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

Going to order everytime: dry fried eggplant, tofu skin and bok choy, vegetable dumplings Still excellent: grandma's braised pork belly My new favorite Chinese restaurant. It was my first time to peter Chang's for dinner on Christmas day. I expected a long wait but even while it was full, they were able to stay my family quickly. The dishes were small but great size to share. The stand outs were the dry fried eggplant, tofu skin and bok choy, vegetable dumplings. I loved the grandma's braised pork belly but want to try the pork with bamboo shoots next time. The vegetable spring rolls didn't quite hit for me. The pork soup dumplings were great but with such a vast menu, I want to try others. The mapo tofu had the great but typical flavor in used to. The parking is tight and no easy exit through the back.

Favorite Chinese restaurant in the area?? Quite possibly. We came on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30 and were able to be seated right away. Our waitress told us that they have a new dimsum menu! It was cheaper to order off the dim sum menu and also be able to try multiple things. So we got the soup dumplings, shumai, chili oil wontons. I have to say the soup dumplings REALLY impressed me! The skin was SO thin that the second we lifted them we could see the bottoms breaking, so you gotta eat them fast but I liked that. Off the regular menu, we got the Mom's handmade chili oil noodles (a must!), mapo tofu, lemoncello walnut shrimp, and braised pork belly. MAN IT WAS SO hard to pick a favorite. Everything was impeccable. Normally we eat our Chinese food on the weekends with my parents and since they've been out of town we had to get our fix, and we really got it at Peter Chang's! Since we've been, David and I have been talking about the next time going back. Definitely give it a try!

Food was amazing! The numbing green peppercorn flounder pairs well with the egg scallion fried rice. It wasn't too spicy! Just the perfect kick to it! The dumplings were soft and flavorful! The pecking duck was crispy and succulent! We concluded our lunch with the delicious glutinous rice dessert. It was so crispy on the outside and so soft in the inside! Service was quick. The food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. Everyone was attentive and checked in on us every 10 minutes. The restaurant was quiet and intimate. Perfect place to have a family dinner!

I'm not going to tell you what to order at Peter Chang's newest location- I'll leave that to your server, because I'm guessing that all of the servers here are as attentive and opinionated as Damian was for us during our meal. I truly appreciated his suggestions both on which flavors would pair well and on how many dishes to order. Thanks to his guidance our table of four all left full but not stuffed while avoiding having to take anything with us, an important thing to consider while we traveled through the area. We were on the East Coat to attend a wedding and to visit with a few friends. We also wanted to revisit a few favorite restaurants and remind ourselves of the flavors and dishes we miss most from when we lived in the area. The first words out of Wendall's mouth when our dear friend Mike B. suggested Peter Chang were "Dry Fried Eggplant!" Hey- I think we had a winner, considering it had been five years since the last time we had tasted this perfect dish! Honestly, every single thing we tried during our meal was close to perfect. While my favorite two choices were the dry fried eggplant and the cumin potatoes(a vegetarian treatment of the always amazing cumin lamb), the egg fried rice was also amazing in its simplicity, and was the perfect foil for the spicy elements of the meal. I also loved the egg with shrimp and the cucumber salad, both simple standards, but so well done. Our meal also included a very nice walnut shrimp, shu mai, and soup dumpling. The only dishes I didn't absolutely love were the slightly too sweet braised pork belly and the slightly too oily green beans with pork, but I'd still gladly order either of them a second time. The decor here is simple and clean, with plenty of fantastic light through the tall windows. The booths were large and comfortable, and the staff was not intrusive as we sat with our friends Joy and Mike and caught up on everything. We all had places to go after dinner, but I'm positive that if we'd had more time to spend there the staff would have been happy to continue to host us well after the table was mostly cleared. I appreciate a place that understands that some meals need to be savored, and that some friendships, like some special dishes, are just as delightful many years after your first encounter. (Love to both Mike and Joy for sharing this special afternoon with us!)
