Pei Wei Fresh Kitchen is an Irving, Texas casual/family Asian restaurant company headquartered at 1707 Market Pl Blvd, Suite 300. The brand was born in 2000 in Scottsdale, Arizona as a quicker, more casual sibling to a well-known upscale Chinese bistro chain, pairing wok-fired cooking with counter ordering and a relaxed dining room. It separated from its former parent in 2017, moved its headquarters to the Dallas area and refreshed its look and signage. In June 2019 restaurant entrepreneur Lorne Goldberg's PWD Acquisition bought the company from private equity firm Centerbridge Partners, placing it under the same private ownership as several quick service Asian brands, and celebrity chef Jet Tila later joined as a culinary partner and minority owner to lead a menu relaunch. The footprint is weighted toward the Sun Belt, from the Southwest to the Southeast, complemented by compact quick-service outposts on college campuses, in airports and in food courts. Restaurants serve lunch and dinner with made-to-order wok dishes such as orange chicken, Mongolian beef, kung pao chicken and lo mein, plus rice bowls, lettuce wraps and Thai-inspired plates. Typical restaurants seat roughly 250 guests in about 7,000 square feet.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.
The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.
