For dinner, I had the crispy honey shrimp with the chicken lettuce wraps
and harvest spring rolls for appetizers. The lettuce wraps were good
but not as seasoned as I had first thought. I could have used more sauces
or more filling but I were sharing with two others though we did request
more lettuce leafs. The spring rolls were crispy and tasty after dipped
in the sweet and sour sauce. I was a little disappointed with the honey
shrimp as it was not very crispy. The meals were served family style
so I was able to share and try some other dishes. I enjoyed my friend's
chicken chow fun a bit more. The place is very trendy styled and the parking
lot fills up so plan to get there early. Definitely not authentic Chinese
but more of a fusion cuisine. Just in case you did a double take, the restaurant
name is correctly spelled "P.F. Chang's China Bistro".

ok.. first off this is not a true chinese place. so don't go
there if you expect authentic chinese. its not. i found some of
the appetizers to be pretty good. like the dumplings and chicken
lettice wraps. as for the entress. it seems to be hit or miss. the
style of food was very americanized which wasn't what i was
into. i didn't think the food was all that great. but i heard
some of the dishes we didint order where better. it has a really
nice atmosphere. and is extremly busy. the serive was good dispte
the wait. what i think is funny is when they make the sause infront
of you. its a good place to go with a large group so you can sample
several dishes. but personally. i didn't care about the
food. don't think i'll be going back. but i know a lot
of people that lov ethat place.. so it might be worth a trip. just
be warned. if your looking for real chinese. this is not the place

Ok the first time, but every time I went (2 -3 times) I lost interest.
The food is as would be expected from a Chinese chain restaurant.
Slightly below average for the price. Mandarian Gourmet on De
Anza is a better place/deal. Even though PF Changs is closer,
it is not worth it. Bad service and even though it is new, it is getting
dirty and run down.
<br>
Oh..and the valet parking is a joke. I'm not gonna pay $2.00
to have someone drive my car 20 feet and park it in a spot. When I
pay for valet parking, I want the guy to run a few blocks at least.
Thinking about the parking, I just lowered my rating to 1 star.

Hi,
<br>
This is not a review.....I already have mine posted. I have a suggestion.
It seems as though the name of the restaurant
is spelled incorrectly on your website. I believe it's P
F Changs, not P F Changes. It would be great if you could change
this.
<br>
Trying to be helpful,
<br>

The ambience, the service, the decor at this bistro are all excellent.
Unfortunately, the food is only average. I guess that has to be
expected in a chain. I wish they could retain the distinctive
atmosphere and give the food some more character as well.

I was in town on business and was looking for a bistro. I walked
into this incredible restaurant and found exactly what I was
looking for. Everything about the dining experience here was
perfection. First of all, it was designed and decorated beautifully.
It was "fresh" and exciting. After observing for
a few minutes, I felt great joy in seeing everything running like
clock work. The entire staff was very efficiently doing a wonderful
job. It was a true "fantasy" in fine restaurant management.
The service was impecible and offered with generous smiles and
courteous assistance. The environment, the people, the food..............it
was truly a magical evening! I would drive for hours in order to
have such dining pleasure!

I was pleasantly surprised...this chain chinese restaurant
was better than I thought. I wouldn't say it's 5 stars
like some of the other reviews, but it wasn't bad. One of the
better dishes was the chicken lettuce wraps...it was quite tasty
with the 'special sauce'. The waitress was very friendly
and asked if this was my first visit. It was, so she went over the
menu and explained the meals were served family style. I was also
expecting the dishes to be over priced, but they really were not.
The place is nicely decorated.

Parking can be trying since its in the same shopping center with
a Borders Books and Starbucks. They have valet parking during
dinner.

Popular, trendy, usually quite busy, no reservations (first
come, first served but you can call ahead to get on the list).
<br>
This is not a traditional Chinese restaurant but more of an Asian
Fusion place with a modern decor to match. Many Thai, Japanese,
and Indonesian inspired dishes.
<br>
The food is generally excellent -- out of 12 or so visits so far
we've gotten only one dish that was not that good. Great vegetarian
selection. Most dishes are prepared in a very healthy manner
(moderate to low fat, no MSG, lots of vegetables, etc). Great
brown rice (about the only place I know of that gives you a choice
between brown and white steamed rice).

We have heard much about PF Changs and decided to try it out for
a weekday lunch.
We arrived around 12:45 PM. We ordered 2 dishes:
1. Mushu Chicken
2. Dan Dan Noodles
The interior was nice unlike most Chinsese restaurants.
However, we should have took the hint when the waiter could not
pronounce Dan Dan Noodles correctly. Imagine going to a French
restaurant where the waiter could not pronounce the names of
it's dishes?
The food finally arrived after about 45 minutes. Most customers
in the dining room had left by this time, and the waiters did not
seem that busy. I do not know what the hold up was for.
The food finally came, and the waiter made us our "special sauce."
We still do not understand what the special sauce was for. Are
we suppose to pour it on the rice??? Ick!
The mushu chicken was ok.
The Dan Dan Noodles was way too salty. It was only edible after
mixing a lot of rice into the noodles. ...

Great food and excellent service. I recommend bringing more
of people because it is family style dining. The more people the
more dishes you can try. Use the call ahead seating. They do not
take reservations and waits can get past 2 hours on the weekend
evenings. Well worth the wait. A little noisy when really busy.
