PAI WEI ASIAN DINER

Pai Wei (pronounced “Pay Way”) is a subsidiary of P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and was originally launched in July 2000 as a vehicle for them with many locations.  They have consistently flavorful dishes from China, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand.  Their dishes are made-to-order featuring authentic Mandarin-style wok cooking in an exhibition kitchen.  Pai Wei has a similar look and feel of P.F. Chang’s, but more casual and convenient for everyday dining.  Their varied menu is available for eat-in as well as take-out and is moderately priced.  They take most major credit cards.  This is a great alternative for local business people or others on the go who want a quick meal.

I ate at Pai Wei in Plantation for the first time about a week ago with my son and really enjoyed it.  It was not very crowded when we first got there at 5:45pm on a Thursday night, but by the time we left, there was a medium-size line that moved quickly.  Once you order and pay, the waiters bring your food and drinks to your table.  The cashier taking our order was helpful and fast.  Our service was prompt and efficient.  I ordered hot and sour soup which was tasty and fresh.  My son had a spicy chicken dish that also looked and tasted delicious.  Portions are generous much like they are at P.F. Chang’s.  I would recommend trying Pai Wei for lunch or dinner and I look forward to going back there again soon.

Fuji is a fine cuisine that serves a variety of Sushi, Asian, Japanese, Fusin Pan Asian, and Seafood dishes.  They serve lunch and dinner daily and reservations are not required.  Dress code is casual and their menu prices are very reasonable between $16-25.  The location is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking. 

My husband and I ate there recently for dinner on a Friday night around 7:00pm and had great tasting sushi that was fresh, generous portions, and friendly and prompt service.  We ordered from the “summer specials” menu and each had a complete dinner for $15.99!  I started out with delicious crab miso soup, sushi sampler, chicken teriyaki, and a huge green tea ice cream that I could not finish.  My husband had the same as me, except his main dish was duck.  The main dishes were good, but the sushi sampler was the best.  The restaurant seemed to fill up later at night as we were leaving.  I would recommend trying Fuji for lunch or dinner and we look forward to going back there soon.
