I'll be honest. I go to PF Chang's for 2 reasons: the Mongolian beef and the chicken lettuce wraps. However, PF Chang's China Bistro does several dishes exceptionally well. Expect a dimly lit ambience complete with real napkins and cutlery. You won't break the bank eating at this establishment either. For $25 to $30 you can have a nice dinner served to you by a friendly and courteous waiter. They have a good wine selection and are very accommodating when it comes to allergies. In fact, on my last visit the general manager came to my table when I mentioned being allergic to shelled fish. He was concerned that the oyster sauce they use in the Mongolian beef would cause a reaction. I told him that it never had before and that I would take full responsibility should a freak reaction occur during my meal. Of course, I devoured all of the scrumptious Mongolian beef on my plate without incident. I've also had my friends order the orange chicken and the smoked lamb so I could give these dishes a try. They are every bit as delicious!
PF Chang's is an awesome chain and their service and food has been consistently good regardless of the location I've chosen to visit.
My review at PF Chang is super excellence I have never had a bad meal Jack ever I enjoyed atmosphere on the staff is absolutely marvelous I enjoy all the food especially the dumplings stay out and I know I do crispy string beans and also you have a wonderful happy hour so keep up the good work thank you

Avoid this pf changs if possible. This was the worst one i have visited. I ordered a vegetarian mapo tofu dish because it mentioned it was silken tofu which usually refers to soft tofu which is also the traditional chinese way and when I got it, it was with braised fried tofu. So, ok, not the Chinese way but that's fine, it's a very Americanized Chinese restaurant so not a big deal. Then I asked if I could have it soft and the manager had a minor hernia trying to accommodate that request. He made it seem like the biggest deal in the world to change it to soft tofu. He made it seem like it was borderline offensive to eat soft tofu. He made it feel like it was my fault for not knowing and kept trying to convince me that deep fried tofu is the only way to cook it. He kept saying he would put the sauce and chicken on the side because it won't cook well in the pan. I said it was ok and if it's bad I won't complain about it because it's a special request and it would be my fault but that's how I like it...the traditional way...he said it would be like jello and I'm not going to like it...buddy, I get what you're saying but can I just have my mapo tofu? I'm hungry. After about 4 -5 times of trying to convince me otherwise in a slightly demeaning manner, I sternly said, "look, my family is chinese, I've had this my whole life. I like the tofu soft please." finally he said ok, it'll be done in a few minutes and hung up. Jfkvjdkdi!!! I showed up and waited for my order which took a long time. The first order also took a long time. A simple Togo order which should have been quick since I needed to get Back to my hotel to do work took more time to do than it would have to have dined in. The whole ordeal "ate up" around an hour. The Togo lady was nice the whole time but the Asian manager was not. Maybe they just Dont understand chinese food in florida...maybe...Unless they change management, avoid this of changs or just hope you don't need any special requests, like ever...and maybe it'll be fine. I will never return to this pf changs.
Review Source:We're not chain fans but there are a few like PF Chang's that we like in general. However, this one seems very small. The bar is off the side in the back. It's all a bit strange.
Went this past weekend with a group of 12 to celebrate a friends and it was pretty empty which is weird for a PF Chang's. The good part of empty is that they can easily sit a party of 12 even if part of the crew got there 45 minutes late.
The food was typical and consistent of any PF Chang's so that was good. The service however wasn't great. My wife's dish was Kung Pao Shrimp and they brought chicken. Rather than asking no questions and just firing up another dish it took a while for them to sort it out. With a big group that stinks as everyone wanted to wait for her to get her dish. They did leave the chicken dish behind which was a nice make-up.
I would say this location is an average to below avg PF Chang's.
Went here for my boyfriends birthday, food was decent, i had a vegetarian dish, my boyfriend had duck and said it was pretty good as well. But we had pretty lousy service, a bald server obnoxiously pushing drinks on us, he then took 15 min to get a diet coke, which says a lot, being that we went on a Wednesday afternoon. Besides the subpar service, restaurant was pretty good. Happy hour is definitely worth it.
Review Source:Adventured outside of the usual 39.95 dinner for two blah blah blah... Tried the Seared Ahi Tuna and it fresh tasting and the little salad with thinly sliced cucumbers was really tasty and fresh (I paired it with a White Oregon Blend.... ). For dinner I shared an entree of Lamb and again was very good (and was paired with Pinot Noir)... Overall, always happy with this place.
Review Source:I have been to other P.F. Chang locations and the food is usually the same at every location so the service is usually what the rating comes down to. Â I had the honey glazed chicken which was very yummy. Â Our waiter was funny and friendly and managed to refill drinks without you even realizing he had done it. Â Be careful with the chocolate cake... its enough for the whole table (4-6 people).
Review Source:I had first tried the dumplings from the freezer section in grocery store,And they where EXCELLENT! I figured that if the food is this good at home, then it must be better at the bistro. It was everything and more. The quantity and quality are the highest.Very pleased with the service,cleanliness of the establishment. (Being clean is my most pet peeve) I wouldn't take a second guess about the place.
Review Source:Came here for lunch on a weekday and ate outside so I could people watch. The interior was typical PF Chang decor like in LA - dark, Asian and mysterious.
Had the $10 and under lunch combo special. Â Went with a Mixed Greens Salad, GF Caramel Mango Chicken and steamed rice.
I'm not celiac, but I can't tolerate large quantities of gluten and any amount of MSG. Â Didn't have any digestion problems from the food here.
Food was really spicy, but definitely better than your typical mall food court.
P. F. Chang is a chain so it is supposed to consistently provide the same food and the same environment at multiple locations. From the number I have been at, they do a good job of that and this location is no exception. The interior of this location, however, generally seems more dimly lit than most and in some areas it's nice to have a flashlight.
As for the food, you can't go wrong on the fact that it is good though it is basically an American interpretation of what Chinese food should be and what Chinese food should taste like. So, you really don't go here looking for authentic Chinese, which isn't to say that a vast number of people wouldn't rather have an interpretation of Chinese rather than the real thing for a number reasons which to me would be very valid.
This location also seems to be a gather for large groups and indeed I came with a group of 22. So, though the service was good and adequate it was slow. I order a martini up, which by the time it got to me was barely below room temperature but for me warm gin is better than no gin, so I made do. I also had the Sichuan Shrimp which I found to in fact be tasty, good, and spicy as they said it would be, perfectly prepared and properly presented though nothing exceptional. As for the price, I found it to be reasonable though more than I would pay in most restaurants that are in fact authentic Chinese.
Over all it's a place where you really can't go wrong but also a place where really won't find anything exceptional either.
We had a very nice dinner here, did the $39.95 special for 2 and found it to be a well cooked, flavorful and enjoyable meal. The server stopped by 10 seconds after the food came to ask how it was, then we had to track him down later for refills. Â Overall nice dinner and we will be back. Â Definitely a much better meal than the average Chinese take out.
Review Source:It is no secret that I love me some PF Changs, so when I saw this one close to my hotel I packed up my travel companions and made it to the restaurant. We were a group of 7 and the wait on a Friday night was 45 minutes. We just went shopping around the Galleria.
Forty five minutes later we came back and the host told me a story of how she did not know how much longer we had to wait... I looked at her incredulously, but just gave her the benefit of the doubt. The second time it happened I asked for her manager, If you cant do your job.. then you shouldn't be standing there looking incompetent. Â We were seated within 5 minutes. It was going to get ugly in there, but thankfully it didn't.
The food was good and the service from the waiter was good also. I guess just make sure you reach an understand with the host. Don't get me wrong, I understand you are really busy, but you either know what you are doing or you don't... in this case it seemed to be the latter. This situation almost made this a 2 star review.
Why am I writing a review for a chain restaurant? The whole point of a brand is to deliver a consistent experience in multiple locations. You're in a new city, you're craving chinese food and you know PF Changs will deliver the experience and quality you want.
But I wanted to give them a shout for a couple of reasons.
#1 They are doing social media right!
A friend and I are looking for a place to see a show for chinese new year. He tweets me and asks about PF Changs. Within an hour or so, we get a response to come check out their red envelope promo event next week. Nice job social media manager!
#2 Their calamari is awesome
I love when restaurants put a spin on this appetizer favorite. Side note: If you haven't had the Thai version at Legal Seafood - go now. I had never had calamari here and i am so happy I tried it. The light tempura is an interesting twist but the SAUCE is to die for.
#3 The bartenders are awesome
I have a friend who comes for happy hour once a week because he loves the service so much. That's a great testament to a place located in a mall where servers might be tempted to treat everyone like a tourist transient.
#4 Happy Hour Pricing
Even though they only do it during the week, you can get great "appies" and cocktails at a phenomenal price. The caveat is that you have to do it early. I wish they would extend it to weekends because that's about the ONLY time I hit happy hour at 3p.
I know that when having Celiacs and eating out there is always a chance of cross contamination. Â Well this is the first time its happened at a PF Chang's.
I had the Gluten Free Lettuce Wraps and the GF beef fried rice.
I felt sick within an hour of eating. Â I take the chance eating out, but when you travel for a living I don't have much of a choice.
Typical chain restaurant- nothing special at all! We had the intentions of going to Christina Wans but they were closed for vacation - so we walked in there was maybe 10 people in the whole place the hostess had to finish her conversation with a waitress before she could help us- strike 1- took all about 3 min then sat us and the waitress took another 10 to take are drink orders- since I checked in on yelp when we walked in- I got a free dim sum the. The waitress told us we couldn't use it because we were 6 min over the time because it ended at 6 - idk it's ok food service always blows NO MATTER what location
Review Source:After coming to this location twice, I totally believe this is one of the greatest P.F. Chang's I've been to. The service is amazing, our last server was Mary Ellen and she was helpful and very knowledgeable. She asked the cooks for a sample of a dish we were interested in and the sous-chef Jonathan came out with a FULL dish of the Flaming Red Wontons. We were so grateful for their generosity. We don't ever go to a chain restaurant and get this kind of service.
Onto the food and drinks: I've had the PF-X and their Cosmopolitan and both are well made and extremely good. You just can't beat their happy hour offerings. We love steamed dumplings and have tried the bacon and egg, pork, pork and leak, and the pork and shrimp dumplings and they all have been extremely tasty. My favorite it is the pork and shrimp: the sweetness of the shrimp is balanced with the robust flavors from the pork! Delicious! My boyfriend's favorite is the pork.
The complimentary Flaming Red Wontons totally lived up to their spicy name. They were the perfect intensity of heat. Not too weak and not too overwhelming and makes you cry.
The other thing we love here is the chicken lettuce wraps. They're just so light and refreshing: the hearty chicken mixture wrapped in that crisp, fresh lettuce wraps is a perfect summer meal. The one thing that was a bit off is that their brown rice tends to be a little bit dry, but I still love the wheat-y flavor it has.
I love the food here. Â I love the sauces they serve with it so you can adjust your spiciness. Â The lettuce wraps.... one of my favorites. Â And Changs Spicy Chicken (which Im sure exceeded my recommended caloric intake for the week)
What I find annoying at this place is my whole meal feels rushed. Â As if they want me to eat as fast as possible and then get the heck out. Â I'm sure it's because they are busy but it is annoying.
I like PF Changs because of the food and the price. This place is consistant. Last time I came here, I tried something new. (Lettuce wraps) It was pretty good, like all of their food.
Being in true chain fashion, this place is nothing to write home about, but if you want to have a good meal for a good price, this place can be an option. It is way better than your chinese food that you get delivered to you on a Wednesday night. The decor is nice and I have come here to grab a drink and the bar is pretty chill.
This place is good, not great!
It had been a while since I'd been to PF Changs, so I was happy when a rescue group I work with suggested a lunchtime meeting here. We were one of THOSE tables - there were supposed to be like 15 of us and it was only 5, but hell, we were nice and I always tip well. :)
The food was just eh compared to what I remembered. Had the tofu lettuce wraps, which were good, but could have used a different, sweeter sauce.
The coconut curry veggies were ok, could definitely have used more sauce and more tofu. But the flavor was delicious.
Server was super friendly, so extra stars for her efforts. I'd come back here and try some other items, but this time around was rather unimpressive.
Chinese food/chain restaurant: YES.
A great way to get your fix for honey chicken, lo mein, and wontons without the "are they using cat in my food" Chinese joint undertones: YES! Â
This PF Chang's is adjacent to the Galleria Mall and has outdoor seating which is a great way to enjoy lunch/dinner and the fresh beachy air. I've eaten at this location several times and service is pleasant and they get your order right. Â Happy Hour boasts a limited drink and appetizer menu & runs from 3-6pm with prices that correspond with the hours, $3-$6.
Order a drink: try the Asian Pear Mojito or Jasmine iced tea. Â Munch on the crab wontons w/ slightly spiced sweet plum sauce are delicious (portion size= 5 or 6 wontons) or an order of Shanghai cucumbers sprinkled with sesame seeds.
The Ground Chicken & Eggplant is excellent -sautéed with a slightly spicy soy chili sauce & scallions & served with your choice of brown or white rice. Ask for the sweet/spicy red chili sauce on the side & add it in - gives it a "kick" that makes this dish even more delicious.  Coconut Curry Vegetables were quite pungent and the veggies beared a strong semblance to those found in your grocer's freezer.  Skip it... opt for the Vegetable Chow Fun noodle dish instead - it's light & flavorful. I look forward to utilizing their online ordering system and trying more of their Asian-American persuasions in the comfort of home.
This location really needs to get their act together. Â The food was great so no complaints in that department. Â But we had the following issues:
- Were told there would be a 10-15 min wait when 2/3 of the tables inside and outside were empty. Â Stop the show and just seat us, seriously.
- Attempted to order our cocktails at the bar during our wait, after 10 min our table was ready (that was really ready the whole time) and cocktails hadn't been started
- At least 5 additional min later the cocktails finally arrive at the table. (Agave Margarita = Delicious)
- We placed our order with our very nice waitress. Â We ordered lunch specials that came with soup. 10 min later our orders arrived and we never got our soup. Â Then our soup came out a few min later. Â
- The tables around us were having a hard time getting what they asked for and we heard people becoming frustrated with the service.
The whole time it just seemed disorganized and poorly managed. Â If it weren't for the food and drinks that are necessary in the middle of a marathon shopping day, I wouldn't come back. Â But the food was really good and the lunch menu prices can't be beat. Â Hopefully next time will be a better experience.
Growing up Asian in California, it's hard to compare PF Chang's to any of the more authentic options dotting the West coast. However, compared to other PF Chang's locations, this one seems to be lacking the energy and (limited) charm of other locations, not helped by inconsistent lighting that created awkward dark spots.
The food is typical Americanized Chinese - saucy, salty, and lacking a punch. Most disappointing though, was the specialty dish I ordered - dubbed "Mandarin Chicken". It was a saucy, stir-fried mess - uninspired with bland stir-fried chicken and veggies blended with a weak sweet and sour sauce. Honestly, did they dump this dish out of a freezer bag labeled Wanchai Ferry?
Other dishes such as the lettuce wraps and honey walnut shrimp were definitely more palatable.
Overall, the service was decent, and PF Chang's will satisfy a craving for Chinese. But don't expect anything remotely stellar that compares to more authentic options.
I wasn't in the mood to venture out to something new and unfamiliar and it's location was ideal to where I was at the time. I am normally not a fan of Chinese food, because I find that it generally is too greasy or salty for my taste. But this popular Americanized chain restaurant has always been an exception.
No matter which city, "PF Changs" is usually crowded w/ families and big groups. Â The attractive interior /exterior design is warm with the familar Asian decor. Despite the normal long waiting list for a table, one can usually find open seats at the stimulating bar.
I had the seared ahi and spicy green beans which was delicious. And their their chicken lettuce wraps has always been an all-time favorite. Â It's times like these, that placate the thought of "ugh.. a chain restaurant"... which makes the overall dining experience worthwhile and comfortable.
I'm Chinese. I even share last names with this place. That's not going to stop me from giving this glorified panda express 1 star.
For some reason, my mom loves eating at P.F. Chang's. I've literally dined at this establishment over 20 times, from NC to VA to CA. Strangely enough, the best tasting branch we've been to is in Milwaukee.
Anyway, usually the dishes are innocuous, but the food at this branch is horrible! I mean, the chicken noodle soup (a staple in our dining list because my mom swears it tastes exactly like a Taiwanese dish called bi tai bah) tasted NOTHING like the other branches we've been to. It only had a few sad pieces of wilted cilantro, dry chicken, and the smallest, ugliest, bruised pieces of mushrooms. Even my mom, who usually inhales this soup as if it were the last drop of water in a desert oasis, refused to drink more than a few spoonfuls.
Oh and the sauteed mushrooms, which are usually delicious in ANY culture, were burnt and swimming in a greasy, watery mess.
One last gripe I have about this particular location is the bathrooms. Instead of having toilet paper holders built into the wall, they have these flimsy metal stands that each hold a single roll of tp. Said stand is placed very strategically right in front of the toilet. I swung open the door, knocked over the stand, and watched in horror as the entire roll slid neatly into the open bowl with a plop. I fished it out before the top part got soaked but that didn't make the incident any less gross :(
Skip this location, go to the boca one or ANY other for 3.5 star food. In particular,
* Wok-Seared Mushrooms ($4.95)
* Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps ($11.95)
* Mu Shu Pork ($7.95)
* Banana Spring Rolls ($5.95)
* Great Wall of Chocolate ($7.95)
Date Visited: Friday 5/1/09 (Dinner)
Don't get me wrong - I am a fan of PF Chang's and I really want to give this restaurant more stars, but there were a few issues with our visit this particular night. Â
PF Chang's is located on the far end of the Galleria Mall garage parking (or we just simply parked in the wrong place), so while it was nice to stop in shops on the way back from dinner, it was kind of a pain to walk through it to get to the restaurant. Â The restaurant is detached from the mall (no entrance from inside the mall), just so ya know. Â
Being Ft. Lauderdale, we decided to sit outside on their patio. Â After the previous night's dinner where we ate like pigs, we decided on only one appetizer. Â We got the vegetarian lettuce wraps. Â Even my father likes these! Â I was a little miffed that our waiter didn't make the sauce at the very beginning, like they're supposed to do and have done for every other visit I've ever made. Â The guy who brought out the lettuce made it for us.
We ordered and started to eat the appetizers and chat. Â I've lived in California and Oregon for the past 25 years of my life, so I had a very disturbing hit into reality of other states. Â You can smoke in the patio area! Â I know smoking sections exist and I know you can't do anything about someone who walks by while smoking, but to sit where you want on the patio and smoke among non-smokers is just too much. Â It really wouldn't have mattered if it was the best Ma Po Tofu I've ever had in my life (and it was better than most because they didn't try to make it so hot that I couldn't feel my tongue anymore), the smoker sitting by us ruined everything.
I've been to PF Changs (this particular one) more times than I can count. It seems to always be the place for birthdays or other special occasions - but I've also been there on multiple other occasions as well.
After my 100th trip to PF Changs and venturing out to other Asian/Fusion restaurants such as Chows, Asia Di Cuba and others my enjoyment for Changs dwindled.
Hope was restored this past weekend as I went with a small group of friends. The chain restaurant started doing a "dinner for two menu". It is supposedly only lasting for a limited time but hopefully they will keep it. This menu has restored my faith.
You get choice of 2 soups, 1 app from a choice of about 8 (including their chicken lettuce wraps!), 2 full size entrees, and choice of a mini desserts for 39.00.
I chose the sweet and sour soup ( i dint recommend), then we got the chicken lettuce wraps, beef and broccoli and Changs chicken. For dessert i got the mini red velvet cake and my partner in crime for the night got the chocolate cake.
The other duo received the egg noodle soup and the sweet and sour soup, pork dumplings for the app, beef and broccoli and spicy chicken for their entrees..i believe they got the smores dessert and a tiramasu...
either way we were all very happy and could not have eaten another bite by the time we left.
I will definitely be making a return...once my pants button again
Because there are no decent Chinese restaurants in South Florida, PF Chang's is as good as it gets.
I've never had a bad meal there, even on busy weekends, but even on a less-busy day, service can be slow. Not good when you're with a hungry child who's dying for lettuce wraps.
Restaurant is crammed with tables and banquette-style seating, so if you're disabled, physically impaired, or have kids with tiny bladders, you'll have issues getting around to go to the bathroom.
The sizable appetizer menu is great for kids because of the smaller portions, but there are no kid-friendly alternatives to the Asian fare (e.g., no hamburgers or chicken fingers). If you bring kids, make sure they can handle themselves in public and have a semi-adventurous palate. Or at least bring a good lunchbox meal from home.
Ambient noise level can be high on busy nights. If you want to have intimate conversations with your dinner partner, sit close together at one of the banquette tables; else you'll be shouting at each other the whole time.
We finally tried P F Changs, it has been open for about 4 months and since it is very close to our home...why not...
Some things that are good...they accepted our reservation for 2 and gave a conformation number, (which they couldn't find when we got there, but did give us a booth as requested right away)
The interoir atmosphere is exceptionally nice
Our waiter was only semi professional...we told him we were not in a hurry (we do not like to be in and out in 30 minutes), mistake....
When we did get our food..spring rolls, very good, Steamed dumplings were good but cold when they were served, Â ..our Orange Peel Chicken very good.
Plates were not removed from the table promptly, ...were we supposed to use the spring roll plates for our dumplings?...and when they were removed  they were left on a tray right next to the table...
Overall I give P F Changs a 6...(room for a lot of improvement)
