Pei Wei debuts summer menu

July 6, 2016

Pei Wei new summer offerings include Thai steak and mango salad, ahi avocado, Vietnamese rice noodle salad and honey sriracha wings, along with an updated version of the Asian chopped chicken salad.

"We heard our guests loud and clear when they said they wanted innovative menu options geared toward taste and nutritional value," said Pei Wei Chief Marketing Officer Clay Dover. "Last season, our guests enjoyed the option of having their favorite Wok classic menu items served over salad and these four new menu options expand our salad offerings and deliver on Pei Wei’s focus on flavors with purpose."

Pei Wei's Culinary Innovation Director Adam Schreier added, "We really drilled down on delivering thoughtful dishes with bright colors, layers of flavor and texture. Each Pei Wei dish is prepared to order; our meat is butchered in-restaurant and vegetables are hand-washed and cut by our chefs daily."

However, Schreier said the process behind the innovation of the honey sriracha wings was a little more involved.

"We tested the wings in eight markets, including our home market of Phoenix," he said. "They did phenomenally well and we expect them to become a new fan favorite."

Pei Wei's seasonal menu items are available at its more than 200 restaurant locations nationwide beginning July 5, according to a news release.
