Diners consistently praise its perfectly crispy skin and tender, succulent meat, describing it as a true "showstopper" and a must-try for any first-time visitor or returning patron.

My husband has been visiting Peter Chang Gaithersburg for years with his coworkers and has always raved about their dishes. We finally had the chance to dine here together, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We ordered Peter Chang's signature Peking duck (whole), which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—truly a showstopper. The Hot Chili Oil Beef Tendon (cold dish) was packed with bold flavors and had an incredible texture. The Mama's Handmade Noodles with Chili Oil were delightfully chewy, with just the right kick of spice. The Spicy Dry Fried Eggplant was crispy and addictive, even for someone who isn't usually an eggplant fan. And, of course, the famous Scallion Bubble Pancake—crispy, airy, and so fun to eat—was the perfect complement to our meal. Every dish was expertly prepared, bursting with authentic flavors, and served with great attention to detail. The staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're a fan of authentic Szechuan cuisine or just love bold, flavorful dishes, Peter Chang Gaithersburg is an absolute must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

Stop by for late lunch, and they actually offer tapas portion dishes. So the portion size is smaller compared to traditional dishes, but it gives patrons lots of choices to try different dishes. We had total of 9 dishes, mostly good, but the stem pork rib dish was not up to par, it had way too much starch, it felt like eat a wet breaded pork rib. For 3 steam dumpling for 9 bucks was slightly steep. But over all was great lunch. The highlight was the pork belly stew, and lions head meat ball, even though it was only one meat ball, it was pretty good. The beef chow fan was good too. And the shrimp with walnut was decent too. Total out of the door with tips was $103 for 4 people. We’ll be back again.

The new menu is a good departure from their old menu when they were located at the rockville town center, With often changing items, you will always have something new to pick from. I highly recommend the soup dumplings and salt and pepper chicken. The quality of the food here is great, but service is lacking, often having to sit for 10-29 before anyone even comes to your table. The place looks great and has a great atmosphere, and I am glad they moved closer to the germantown area.

I liked that I could try a variety of dishes in small portions. Each dish was delicious. The price was a bit on the higher side. Parking is easy and spacious.
