Pei Wei

Place: Pei Wei
Location: 270 N. Beverly Drive. Beverly Hills, CA  90210
Entrée: Chicken Pad Thai

I thought North Beverly Drive only housed restaurants for diners who had time to take a 2 hour lunch. I was pleasantly surprised to see the P.F. Chang's sister restaurant in this area.  Pei Wei is similar to Panda Express in terms of ambiance and pricing.  However, the quality of food is much better and cooked to order.

I haven't had good Pad Thai since I lived in NYC. For less than $10 I got a large bowl. I like my noodles saucy so this was the perfect dish. They don't skimp out on the chicken or tofu either.
A little on the sweet side but nothing a little lemon/lime did not fix.

Even though I was full, I couldn't stop eating (shocking I know) so then I fell into a mini food coma. Good thing the Nepresso store has opened less than a block away (just north of Pei Wei). Tip: Go to the back and they will let you sample anything you like. I went for the Holiday limited edition one (Grand Cru Masala Chai). Delicious!

Happy Eating...
