Pei Wei Asian Diner - Thai Dynamite

August 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Pei Wei is a great Asian restaurant; grab lunch, dinner, or a to-go order. Every meal is made-to-order, with fresh ingredients.  They have three locations in Tulsa, but I like the one on Tulsa’s Brookside.

However, my opinion of Head County’s Salsa was quite favorable.  Perhaps it has something to do with my Midwest-blah taste buds versus his California tastes, but the salsa was very decent.
