Lu Wei by Peter Zhang

Space is small but well kept and clean. Can't complain about the service and most importantly, the food is top tier. It comes out piping hot and flavors don't disappoint. You can order with an employee or the self checkout kiosk.Highly recommend the Dry Fried Cumin Fish if you are an experience spicy eater.

Yeah for google translate!!! I ordered on their kiosk.... Ohhhh ohhh chef comes out and no one here speaks English.... They wanted me to order on the kiosk which we did.... Figured out the order didn't print .... We used google translate to understand each other which worked great... I couldn't spell as I typed so added that in translate... had a good chuckle ... Time to try their new spicy fish!!!!! YummmmmmmWill update this review after lunch!

Lu Wei is conveniently next to 99 Ranch and I've been wanting to try their XLB because people say it's good. Sadly, they were out of XLB this past Saturday afternoon (also it's 9.00 for 4 XLBs???) so we tried a few other dishes instead. Like what everyone else said, this is more of a carry-out style restaurant, but if you are eating in, they do give you "real" bowls, plates and utensils to eat with. It's nice that you can order using their kiosk and there's pictures attached to every menu item.STIR-FRIED BOK CHOY W/ TOFU SKIN ROLL - 15The bok choy has a lot of "wok hay" that made it taste a lot better than homemade bok choy. It's pretty simple with a bit of oil and stir-fried in garlic. However, the tofu skin rolls were quite inedible because of how salty they were. My parents and I took a bite out of one and we gave up after that.SICHUAN BOILED FISH - 19This came in a large bowl filled with a lot of chili oil. There's plenty of flounder in here with other spices and toppings like beansprouts. It's spicy, but not "holy-crap-my-nose-is-runny" kind of spicy. I didn't think it had a strong mala flavor. It was just really salty, and this is when my dad went to go buy another bowl of rice because it was too much. Overall, bland in terms of spice but so, so salty.FRIED MEAT SKEWER (3PCS) BEEF - 10This was pretty good because the beef was juicy and fatty and had a good amount of spice and seasoning. My mom thought it kind of tasted like pork, though. It's just pretty expensive to buy three lil skinny skewers for 10.00.If you want additional white rice, it's +1 for each bowl. We definitely needed at least a few bowls because the food here was pretty salty. My dad is very much a "no food waste" kind of man, but the tofu skin rolls and fish today were a rare exception.

Hmmm, I'm torn about writing this but I feel like more people need to know.First of all, this is more of a carry out vibe. There's a kiosk to order from but also someone who can help answer any questions you have. There are also quick refrigerated items you can ask for to go as well.The food quality is certainly great. The soup dumplings were exceptional BUT they give you a regular plastic soup spoon even though we dined in. I don't know how well it'd travel I don't know if I'd order for take out, but I would bring my own spoon because it seemed like a waste to have the dumpling slide off because it was too big for the spoon.The sichuan fish is usually my marker for good Sichuan food and I can't say this was my favorite. It needed just a little more razzle dazzle, spice, and/or salt? Also, the fact that it doesn't come with rice and you have to order the $1 side rice extra was a bit... uncouth.The fried rice was ok. Not bad but not something that I would consider my favorite. Since we dined in, we did ask for cups for water. They stated they don't provide cups for water or free water and we'd have to purchase. Again, seemed a bit excessive that we were dining in and they still served us in regular plates and bowls but plastic spoons, wooden chopsticks, and didn't have any cups for water.Parking is ample. The restaurant space is clean. Big enough for small families to enjoy but didn't see any high chairs. We didn't ask but it's a smaller space so maybe they have them tucked away somewhere. May have to try take out next time but will have to try other items.

Good soup a little different Chinese soups. Very basic restaurant. Not a lot to say except to try it out if you like noodles both soup and non soup! You might run into Peter Chang there.

Come with me to a Chinese Restaurant in the DMV here at @luwei.Peterzhangin Fairfax, VA! Everything was absolutely delicious, although my favorite item has to be the Black Gold Lava Bun! Love a good Custard Bao What we ordered~Steamed fish dumplingSweet and sour chicken Sichuan boiled beef Black gold lava bunPork Chinese burger

I really wish I could give a 1/2 star to make it 3.5 stars.As stated in other reviews this is more of a to go place. There is a kiosk you order from (great is nobody is behind you. We had nobody behind us, but I feel it would have been pressure to hurry up if there were others waiting).I took my son for dinner for soup dumplings, and we had a few ideas of what to order, but human contact and maybe some guidance of what we should try could have been nice. (Once again the kiosk for ordering, efficient, but not welcoming and relationship building. I think the relationship building is very important for a small neighborhood restaurant).Enough about the kiosk.Ordered:Pork buns. - greatSoup dumplings- delicious Potstickers- greatString rolls- lovelyWaters- 2 (this is tricky, I don't mind purchasing water, but I only drink like 1/4 cup w dinner and my son drinks 1/2 cup or so. I really wanted 1 water bottle w 2 cups...)I think the owner was out chatting w us and she was great. Talking to us and recommending different items off the menu, (this was great and would have been more appreciated when we were ordering the first time). In the end I would go back, but definitely not in our weekly rotation of restaurants.

Authentic. Reasonable price. Very friendly service. And fast! Didn't finish appetizer before entrees came out

I got the Marinated Assorted Hot Stone Pot -includes pig feet, tofu, intestines, pork ribs, chicken, Napa, seaweed, -- BEAWARE I asked for mild spicy and I couldn't even feel my mouth after 3-4 items chewed. This place is just NOT your typical "ma-la" because I'm pretty good with hot pots spicy and I even told them I want mild spicy and it came like this!!! That's not the worse part; then worse part is the MSG and the amount of MSG they put inside their food to marinate. It's horrendous ~ I'm absolutely blown away how could a restaurant that seemingly care about its food dump an overwhelming amount of MSG and numbing spice to the most popular dish in the restaurant. Tofu and intestines is cut so small - very difficult to eatChicken is hard !! And probably the worse part is when I asked for ice water they said o have to purchase bottled water !I was in disbelief when they said that to me. I just went next door to the tea shop and got a drink. After getting home from eating their food; I had stomach pain all night and almost felt like the spice and numbing spice really got me. So please y'all be aware !!!

Don't try it - just totally skip is so I can keep this hidden gem all to myself. But seriously - it's by far one of my favorite places to eat Szechuan and on my rotation of restaurants to eat monthly if not every 2 weeks. I don't live anywhere near it and go out of my way to eat here. We crave the food here weekly if we could. Don't take my word for it though. Go try for yourself - everyone has different palates. They have great pricing but shhhh don't tell them that! The service is great! The people are nice! The ambiance is ok but the food is worth it. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant but I suppose I should share it with others.
