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, 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.

Dietitian shares (secret) tips to eat Chinese food at restaurants to lose weight
If your weight loss goals are getting in the way of your Hakka noodles and dim sums, we have come to your rescue! You can stick to your weight loss journey and still enjoy your favourite Pan Asian cuisine without compromising on either. The secret? Just a few strategic choices. In conversation with Deepalakshmi, a registered dietitian at Sree Balaji Medical Centre, Chennai, we found out which ones. Begin your meal with a clear, broth-based soup such as hot and sour, egg drop, or wonton. These not only provide warmth and comfort but also help reduce overall calorie intake by promoting early satiety. The expert recommended that for mains, opt for steamed, grilled, or lightly stir-fried preparations and avoid deep-fried or heavily battered dishes, which tend to be calorie-dense and high in unhealthy fats. According to her, one of the most effective ways to reduce hidden calories is by requesting sauces on the side. 'Many popular sauces like sweet and sour, hoisin, or General Tso's are high in sugar, sodium, and fat. By dipping lightly or drizzling sparingly, you maintain flavor without overloading on excess calories,' she added. Deepalakshmi suggested making vegetables a significant part of your plate—dishes like mixed vegetable stir-fries are fiber-rich and contribute to fullness while supplying essential micronutrients. 'When it comes to rice or noodles, brown rice or whole grain varieties are preferable over white rice or refined noodles, as they offer more fiber and stabilize blood sugar levels,' she said. Chinese restaurant servings are often generous, so consider sharing entrees or packing half to go before you start eating. Even small practices such as using chopsticks can help—by slowing down your eating pace, they allow your body time to register fullness, reducing the likelihood of overeating. Staying hydrated with water or unsweetened green tea instead of sugary beverages supports digestion and appetite control. 'Incorporating these mindful eating strategies not only makes your Chinese dining experience more health-conscious but also supports long-term weight management and metabolic health,' said Deepalakshmi. Thoughtful selections, balanced plating, and moderation are key to enjoying restaurant meals without derailing your wellness goals.

A fellow independent restaurant in Stirchley, Greidy Street, outlined last week how they were 'dodging the final nail in the coffin' by pushing prices up, adding that it had seen price hikes across meat, beer and packaging. Eat Vietnam opened in Stirchley in 2019 and has built up a reputation as being one of the finest restaurants in Birmingham. The Vietnamese eatery was shortlisted for Best Pan Asian Restaurant in the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards 2025 on the same day it announced cuts to its hours. In a post online, the restaurant wrote: "Mondays off due to the ongoing price hikes impacting our business. "We've decided to consolidate our workforce and hours to help ease the pressure. 14th, 21st, 28th and 5th off. "Working Tuesday to Saturday usual hours. "Apologies in advance. We will look at this again in a month's time and make adjustments as needed for the summer season." Hospitality businesses across the region have been speaking on how price hikes are impacting their business. When Michelin Guide Indian restaurant Asha's announced it had been given an award from the Indian government last week, general manager Nouman Farooqui told BirminghamLive that Asha's was also 'struggling' under the pressure of rising costs. He said that despite the visits from top celebrities and the global acknowledgement for their work representing Indian flavours in Britain, things were 'tough'.
