Pei Wei Asian Diner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pei Wei Asian Diner (pây wây) is a restaurant chain in the United States. Owned by P. F. Chang's China Bistro (PFCB), it is primarily located in the Southwestern United States, and offers a modest selection of freshly prepared Asian items influenced by the cuisines of China, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand. All of Pei Wei's dishes are made to order and offer customization.
Pei Wei offers different menu items and a different dining atmosphere than its parent, P.F. Chang's. Pei Wei features a counter service, where guests order from a cashier, and the food is brought out to the table, a style known in the industry as fast casual. Pei Wei has a dedicated door in the restaurant and cashiers to offer take away food orders.
Pei Wei Asian Diner, Inc. is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. PFCB planned and developed Pei Wei in early 2000. As of September 2007, there are 136 Pei Wei Asian Diners in 22 states: Florida, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California.
