Popular Asian Restaurant Chain Pei Wei Closes Location

Nationwide restaurant chain Pei Wei has reportedly closed down one of its Lone Star state locations.

On Saturday, MySanAntonio.com reported that the Pei Wei located at The Strand at Huebner Oaks shopping mall has "quietly" been shut down. The location no longer appears on the official Pei Wei website and shows up as "permanently closed" when searched on Google.

It is unclear exactly when the Huebner Oaks Pei Wei closed for good, though the most recent Yelp review for the site is from April 10.

This Pei Wei restaurant is one of several San Antonio establishments that has shut down recently, according to My San Antonio. However, five Pei Wei outposts remain in business in the Alamo City.

Founded in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2000, Pei Wei Asian Kitchen expanded to Texas in 2001 and California the following year. To date, the franchise has opened more than 100 locations around the country, serving Pan Asian fare to customers.

Pei Wei is known for "authentic, Asian-inspired cuisine without compromising on quality or convenience," according to the company's official website. 

"The concept was born from the dream of creating a fast-service Chinese restaurant that serves bold, flavorful dishes made with fresh, whole ingredients," the site says.

Pei Wei's menu includes classics such as orange chicken, spicy General Tso's chicken, egg rolls, dumplings, rice and noodle bowls and more. 

"With a menu full of bold, authentic flavors and a commitment to quality that is second to none, Pei Wei is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a taste of Asia without sacrificing convenience or freshness," the company contends.
