The food was so good, the waiter was really nice and helpful. The restaurant was clean, I really liked the ambiance. We got: shrimp lo mein, chicken lo mein, sesame chicken, Kung pao chicken, vegetable fried rice, and an order of sushi, 3 waters, 1 sweet tea, 1 lemonade, and a cucumber blueberry crush cocktail. Which was around $ 92, it was so worth it though. We’re definitely going back.

I sat at the bar with my boyfriend for a couple of cocktails in the evening of his birthday, not only was everything delicious but our bartender Rob was more than pleasant. He made us feel welcomed and even brought out a birthday dessert with candle when we weren’t expecting it.

I was in the area this past weekend and really thought I need to check out P.F. Chang’s, as it has been 10+ years since I have been to one. I arrived shortly after 12:00pm on Sunday and was seated in the front area of the restaurant and noticed how clean, open and inviting the restaurant was. I didn’t remember liking it years ago, but maybe they have made some changes. After being seated I was approached by my server, who was very sweet and took my drink order. After reviewing the menu, with several changes and ‘new’ items I decided to try a few appetizers/starters to see how things were. I ordered the egg rolls, wonton soup and the infamous chicken lettuce wraps. The wonton soup and egg rolls arrived first. The soup was a great. I ordered the cup, which serves one, and was the perfect size, although next time I will order the bowl, which serves four, so I can take some home as left-overs. Although I wish they would offer a medium bowl, somewhere in between 1 and 4 servings, ha ha! The egg rolls were piping hot and filled with a variety of vegetables, carrots, sprouts, etc. and pork. Perfectly cooked with a crisp shell and not too greasy, like some you find at other places. Although I loved the egg rolls I found the dipping sauce was a little too mustardy for my liking. I actually used some soy sauce, perfection. The chicken lettuce wraps arrived shortly after and they were piping hot, still steaming. The dish arrives with a pile of crisp lettuce leafs for wrapping. The dish is a perfect size, for one or for sharing with another appetizer/started and has great flavor. I was not surprised it is one of their signature items. The menu items I tried were great and the service was on point. Too my surprise I was glad I stopped in and will definitely be back to try one of their meals/entrees.

Will update once Manager calls back but until then be careful of Great Wall of Chocolate and its raspberry sauce. We were there 2 nights ago and ordered dessert right before closing. We took home cake. Waiter suggested a new container of raspberry sauce instead of scraping the decorative amount on plate. So he brought it out and stuffed it into the same dish as chocolate cake. Okay so not a fan of non-food items being packed in and touching food items in transportation but… we went with it. Everything got refrigerated as is. Yesterday I pull out cake with small raspberry sauce container. Commenced eating cake after pouring sauce over cake. Raspberry sauce is sitting out on my counter as I continue eating cake. It is 68 degrees in here because we prefer it cool with so much sun outdoors. Next thing we hear is a loud POP. My dog looks just as puzzled because no one is in the kitchen yet that is where the noise came from. Immediately go to find the source of the POP and see the once covered raspberry sauce now has its lid on the floor AND there are specks of sauce all over the counter. The sauce has no doubled in size and is frothing. So now I see a frothy, foamy, lighter wine-colored version of the sauce I just used. Smh… We were busy yesterday so we went about the day not eating anything else. But I kept noticing a nauseous feeling. Gave the sauce to my husband to test(access to labs). My husband calls to say tech says sauce contaminated! So disgusted! I went to sleep and woke up with same form of nausea. Called PF Changs where the first«manager» sent me to another manager. He seemed concerned but wants to call me back after speaking to company. However he was quick to add that the company has«…no idea what happens to the food once it leaves PF Changs.» Smh He was quick to add a little«…no slight to you» and«…never heard of this in my 10 years.» I love Chocolate and that cake was $ 10(tax). The last thing I expect from any restaurant was contamination and a quick company-man-response. Folks get any of their sauces and leave on counter for a few minutes and if it froths or doubles in size… capture that mess and call health department.

Yuck! My wife and I went to PF Changs tonight for dinner. Oh my gosh both of our dishes were horrible. My wife got the honey glazed chicken and I got the Sichuan Beef. The chicken had a bitter/sour taste and my beef was so dry it was like eating beef jerky. The freakin rice was so dry it was like hard to pick up with the fork. The only tasty dish was our appetizer lettuce wrap. Our server was pretty cool, nice guy, attentive and speedy. Even the stupid fortune cookies were stale. $ 50 later I regret trying the Philips place version of PF Changs. The National Brand would be highly embarrassed with their name associated with this wretched food. Caution to anyone having that craving for good upscale Chinese food. Go grab a burger or something.

Oh, Kung Pao, what did they do to you? You are a salty mess. If I were suffering from a salt-deficiency, then you would be perfect, but as I am in relatively good health and prefer to stay that way… I will have to find my Kung Pao fix elsewhere. As for the rest of the experience, was most of the food good? Sure! Our other meals were tasty, you could tell care was taken in making the dishes. Was the service good? Yes, our server was great! Very friendly and attentive and friendly to our children as well. On the other hand, the hostess seemed completely disinterested and apathetic. Shouldn’t that be the welcoming face and voice you are greeted with when entering a restaurant? Why is a poor experience at the doorway allowed to happen? She was not unkind, but just completely without emotion… which left us feeling unwelcome. While not excusable, PF Changs is not alone. In fact, it’s too pervasive in many restaurants today. Why many restaurants choose to look the other way for this type of behavior is beyond me. It’s one of the basic job criteria. You either meet it or you don’t.

Always good and I loe they serve the hot and sour soup in a big bowl. My only complaint about the pale is they kind of give you an «is that all your ordering look» when you only older soup and appetizers. I really hater that and it make me not enjoy my lunch. I have had the same feeling twice and in two different place. The last one asked us 4 times if we wanted to add anything to what we were having. Hey out bill was still 39.00 so its not like we had soup and left but really, why make good paying customers feel like they should loader a 4 course meal. Not good PFC. Besides that I love the Hot and Sour soup and the Bang bang shrimp are great. Although bigger than what i get elsewhere.

I liked it. Call me crazy. «Crazy!» Thanks. Anyway, call me crazy, but I’ve never been to P F Chang’s before. I just knew people love it. I actually did try their frozen dinners sold at Harris Teeter. They were… not so impressive. That’s probably why I never went to their restaurant. Now, we walked around the Phillip’s Place to look for a place to eat on Saturday night and at the time, P F Chang’s was jam packed. The wait would have been 45 minutes so we went to Dean & Deluca nearby. The next day, however, there were no lines around 3:30 pm. My wife and I B-lined to the place and had a great early dinner at 4 pm. I ordered the crab wantons for starter, and the new Korean steak bulgogi for entrée. My wife ordered the Spicy chicken. They were all really good. Now, I’m easy to please if you have anything that has ‘bulgogi’ or ‘galbi’ in its name. But I’ll be honest as to why I like it or dislike it. And I do loathe some unworthy knockoffs that shouldn’t bare the name. This time, the Steak Bulgogi was good enough to keep its name. Needless to say, we’ll be back.

Went for dinner had reservation for 745 was seated by 8. Waiter was great very attentive. Sushi appetizer was pretty good. The steamed and fried pork dumplings where amazing. For the entrees the chicken lo me in was a bit sweet but very good. The spicy chicken was delicious but the pepper beef was by far the best. 1 star taken away because of the hostess. She was pretty rude

When did this place get expensive? Small portions and pricey lunch. Had 2 children with me and our lunch was $ 47. I can’t think of any reason to go back for this average food.

Like every other PF Chang’s, it’s simply overrated. Honestly, the food isn’t BAD, but no better than some cheap Chinese takeout joints that I’ve been to. The cost seems to be for atmosphere and fancy dishes. It’s okay, but don’t listen to all the hype.(That applies to the whole PF Chang’s chain, not just this particular location.)

Stopped into PF Chang the other night before a movie. I had a reservation so as soon as I walked in I was greeted and seated at our table. Everyone was so friendly and fast. We let our waitress know that we needed to be out of there by a certain time to catch our movie and she did her best to accommodate us. They had an awesome special for $ 40 for 2 people. It comes with 2 soups, an appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 bowls of rice and a Dessert(2 Wontons). We both ordered the Wonton Soup which was soooo delicious. I’d never had it before. I was surprised to find the shrimp in it. For our appetizer we ordered the Dynamite Shrimp and an extra appetizer of the Calamari. The shrimp were really good. The sauce they put on them didn’t have too much kick but it was flavorful. The Calamari on the other hand I could have done with. Not that great but still edible. It was cut into thin pieces. kind of like short french fries. Not great. Their entrees are Family Style, so we ordered the Beef w/Broccoli and Sesame Chicken and both of us got Brown Rice which came with the entrée. The Rice was super dry and boring. It tasted literally like they took raw brown rice and cooked it not adding anything to it. The Sesame chicken was just ok. We even told our waitress that we didn’t really care for it. She just said oh and walked away. The showstopper was the Beef w/Broccoli. It was super yummy! Bold flavors with big pieces and filling. This was the only thing that helped us leave floating on a cloud. The wontons dessert was a ripoff. I guess this is where they save money in the deal. They give you two wontons, one of ours was half the size of the other. I noticed it immediately and grabbed the bigger piece :-). They were pretty good though. Melt in your mouth. But I wouldn’t order any on their own if I returned. Overall it was an ok dinner. We left full at least.

I have celiac disease so most Chinese food is off limits. I am so thankful for P.F. CHANG’s. They have a dedicated gluten free menu with safe kitchen practices and trained staff-yes! I often go for the Mongolian beef, because I can’t deny its salty sweetness. Most recently I got the peppered beef which I found a bit watery and I didn’t prefer it’s flavors. I also got the chocolate dome which I haven’t gotten in ten years and I absolutely favored it. It is decadent, rich, balanced with berries, and chocolatey-a dessert success. I love going here for he lunch deal-makes the prices much more reasonable and it’s not as busy. Waiters are always attentive and I always leave happy with my meal.

I called earlier this evening to request call ahead seating, but they only do reservations(for 1 hour in advance). Whoever answered the phone was slightly rude, and hung up on me before I could give her my name, so when we arrived our reservations were no where to be found. We had to wait a few minutes but it was no big deal; the table we were sat at was probably the worst in the restaurant though — directly beside the hostess station by the front door. Very cold /loud. But the service once we sat down was great! Our waiter was friendly and the food was fantastic — we highly recommend the egg drop soup & crab wontons. I really liked the Kung pow chicken and my date had the sesame chicken, which was also good. The vanilla wonton was super disappointing, so pass on those. Overall great experience once there but the phone service wasn’t great; in their defense it was a Friday night so I get that they were busy.

**Drinks only** PF Changs for me in general is a solid four star place. Love the food(especially the quality and consitency of product) and décor. Tonight I wanted to grab a quick brew before a Unilocal event. NODA Midnight Madness on tap? Impressive. Bartender who waited on me? Not so much. So I was carded. No big deal. All part of the transaction. Then he got a little bit snippy and asked me to take the card out of the clear case in my wallet. Really? I have bifocals and crow’s feet. Really? Procedue is one thing, but being a jerk is another. How do I know? No one else, even way younger«twentysomething» looking people that came to the bar after me, got carded. I think he realized he crossed a line and tried to backpedal, making a joke. Too late dude. So what did I do? I tipped $ 2 bucks on a $ 6 beer. Kill’em with kindness, keep it classy and really make him feel like an ass.

I hadn’t been here in a while and I figured I’d give it a shot since I was out shopping it up… The Kung Pao chicken has always been my go-to, so I went for it… I called in my order for pick up and it went smoothly… Upon arriving, I was greeted and informed they have a new pick up station… I kind of like the idea of picking it up at the bar, but I get why they switched it up… Keeps the seats at the bar free, so it makes sense… I had a few minutes to wait, so I headed over to the bar, though… The bartender was quick and friendly, so that was great… He mixed me a Twisted Whiskey Sour that was positively yummy, so that was worth the trip alone… Now, I don’t know if I put this food on a pedestal in my memories or what, but it was so meh… Almost painfully meh… I don’t know if it was the extra spice that I ordered or what, but instead of the light crispness I remembered on the chicken, I got this sort of soggy, spicy situation… Some of the pieces were great, the others were almost unworthy of being chewed… At least the rice was good, I guess…
