P.F. Chang's

We went there in the middle of the afternoon. There were only two other tables occupied. Blaring over the speakers was a Top 40 radio station; so much for ambiance. The service was incredibly slow, especially considering the lack of

Great food and reasonable priced. And alway great service. Even when busy the service has always been exceptional. Great for large groups or if going to a movie.

Pros: always great service

Cons: parking can get crazy

I don't eat at the restaurant. It's just too loud in there for me. It's over crowded most of the time too. I love take out though. I can get my faves: Veggie Fried Rice, Chicken w/Black Bean Sauce, Coconut Curry w/ tofu, Chang's Ribs or Tofu Lettuce Wraps (depending on how much meat I want to consume) and the deep fried Green Beans. So, I get 5 different foods in good sized portions, and the food will last 3 days Lunch and Dinner....just me. All for about $45.00. I consider that a good deal for restaurant food that I can eat for that many days in such variety. Of course, I don't do this every week, but I do once a month or so. Love it.

Pros: Variety of food and cost

Cons: Don't care for the dining atmosphere or noise level in restaurant

I've eaten at the Southdale PF Chang's a couple of times and while the ambience is very nice and the service is top notch, I had mediocre food both evenings. I even tried the PF Chang's in Las Vegas and had the worst Kung Pao I've ever had. It's only one of 3, or 4 times in my life that I've sent food back as absolutely inedible! Everyone I know that I have talked to about this chain loves the food, the setting and the service - I just must be unlucky at PF Chang's!

Pros: Great service and ambience

Cons: I've not had a good meal there yet and have given up!

All I have to say is, I have never had a bad experience going to this place, which has been many times. The food is always right, service always friendly, and it's not too pricey. I am a vegetarian and it is finally nice to be able to go to a place that can cater to vegetarians. Thanks PF chang!

Pros: Everything.

Cons: Sometimes can be a little loud if you want a quiet place.

I have been this restaruant for several times. Generally speaking, it's good restaurant if you compare with all other Chinese restaurants in twin Cities. And you still can not say that the food is too bad if you have been China and had those really delious Chinese food. The only unpleasant experience was that they took too long time to serve you -- asking order, sending food and taking bill... oh and returning your card.

When I walked into PF Chang's my first thought was "I wish I'd made a reservation" and my second thought was "this place is SWAMPED!" I was greeted by 3 well-dressed individuals, a brunette taking names of those with reservations, a blonde young woman running a wait list for tables, and a very chic looking young man who was seating tables as they became available. In the mix of waiters in black-on-black another two of the well-dressed host staff (I'm assuming that it's required to appear in a particular manner) were scrambling to clear dirty tables in the overly packed dining room. When I finally got to sit down I had a wonderful meal with several friends and our server was not only excellent but quirky with glittery lipstick and rhinestones on the frame of her glasses. She provided a genuinely fun and entertaining meal which went perfectly with the fabulous food and fruity blue "Pool Sides" that we gratefully gulped down with the spicy Dhali Chicken, a new and extremely spicy addition to the menu. In all I would say that knowing what kind of a restaurant it is will help in my future decisions to dine there, and despite a few mishaps in the beginning (an hour and a half is a bit of a lengthy wait for a table) it seems like a very efficient, fast-paced "uber-trendy" establishment. Although I wouldn't recommend it for larger group events, I will most definitely be returning as well as telling everyone I know how fabulous it was, and next time I'll be sure to make reservations well in advance. I would HIGHLY recommend that everyone try this place out!!!!

Pros: Service, Attentiveness, Organization

Cons: Dim dinner lighting, Crowded Entrance, Slightly Loud

I will NEVER GO BACK! I saw my server scratch his head, wipe his nose, then proceed to touch my food! I also have heard many negative comments about the management and how the restaurant is run. (Obviously, considering I make reservations for 7 and I dont get in until 8!!!!) I will never go back, nor will the people I work with, my family, or my friends.

Pros: Usually good food

Cons: lighting, the WAIT(even with reservations) and snotty employement (management)

We went for a date night & ended up in a big corner booth. It was fun! The meal was very spicy & the waiter refilled our glasses at least 4 times without us saying anything. They do make a great Mojito too..

Pros: ambiance

Cons: none

PF Chang's is one of my favorite restaurants in the twin cities area. The food is excellent! My favorite is the Kung Pao Chicken. The Lo Mein is also very good! I have never had any bad food here. They have also started taking reservations and I have never had a problem getting in when I was supposed to. I love going here and recommend it to anyone I can! They have complimentary valet parking, because parking can be so difficult sometimes!

Pros: Complimentary Valet, Takes reservations, Food is great

Cons: Parking hard to find

I dine at a number of restaurants on a regular basis, and PF Change does something horrible that no other restaurant does: they *always* make you wait for a table even though you have reservations.

Last Friday, we had reservations for 8pm. We arrived at 7:55p and were handed a pager. At 8:15p I asked what the deal was. They said they would seat us "any minute". Finally, at 8:25p we were seated. 10 minutes later our server finally showed up. Every time I've gone there, it's been the same story, so obviously they don't plan to respect their reservations.

I won't go back, I like their food, but the service is annoying.

Pros: good food

Cons: wait for tables

Alright, so I'm embarrassed to write but P.F. Changs is excellent. Being a foodie, I usually wouldn't go to a chain restaurant. The food and ambiance here is great. I LOVE the pin rice noodle soup (spicy goodness) and the mongolian beef with veggies added. Additionally, the mango chicken is excellent. I also like that they offer both brown and jasmine rice.

Pros: Food., Ambiance

Cons: Spendy, Location (I'm DT), Parking.

is this restaurant serve chinese food? you must be kidding.

Pros: environment

Cons: food

I have gone to PF Chang's quite a few times and never had a bad experience. Everything I have ate there has been excellent. They have even made things extra spicy at my request! The Lo Mein, Kung Pao Chicken, and the best is the lettuce Wraps. If you need more lettuce, just ask and the will give you more. Service is excellent and this place is well worth the wait. Call ahead though because this place gets crowded. Valet parking is complimentary so you don't have to worry about finding a parking spot in the crowded lot!

Pros: Great Food, Complimetary Valet

If you are a part of a party of 4, and a group of 6 walks in after you, they will be seated before you if a table for 6 is available, even if your party of 4 had RESERVATIONS. PF Chang's tries to maximize their dining capacity even if it means smaller parties have to wait long even if they were there first. I used to really like PF Chang's, but I grew tired of their seating games. If you don't believe me, just observer the game next time you go.

Pros: Good Food, Okay Price

My GF and I recently dined at PF Chang's at the newly-opened Maple Grove location and had a great experience. The atmosphere is very comfortable with dim lighting, oriental decor, and comfortable temperature (a highly important feature for the widely-abundant temperature sensitive females out there). The bar scene is classy with an extensive wine and drink list that provided a comfortable setting while waiting for a table. The martinis were particularly good. Service was top-notch with pleasant staff and glasses always full. Great food came out incredibly quickly, with more-than-ample portions. A quick note to those out there with Gluten-intolerance -- PF Changs is one of the very few oriental restaurants to not utilize flour products in preparing many of their entrees. Overall a great inexpensive experience sure to attract many that inevitably become regulars.

Pros: Atmosphere, Food & Service, Affordability

Cons: , Table Wait Time

Excellent food, great service staff, good prices.

The only drawback is that I can't eat as much as I want to eat of the great food.

...which we did and even though it was lunch time, it was a great idea. The service was good even while the restuarant was busy- very attentive. Our group of 4 liked our meals. Szechuan Chicken Chow Fun, Kung Pao Chicken, Lo Mein, and Coconut Curry Chicken. We had lettuce wraps and sechuan cucumbers for appetizers. The wraps were good, but 5 pieces of letttuce for all the meat isn't enough. I would recommend it to try it, but know what you like or what you would like to share.

Pros: Service, Food and Menu, Ambience/Decor

Cons: Crowded

I have eaten at PF Chang's quite a few times...it's good. Not the best, but good. The wait tends to get a little long, especially on weekends. They do not take reservations, however, you can call ahead. The Mongolian Beef is delicious and a must try, even for those who have not liked it at other restaurants. Service has always been very good.

Pros: Good Service

Cons: Loud when crowded, Long Waits

Just average with a heafty price tag. I hope you like standing in line.

Cons: Long Wait, Service, Price/Value

P.F. Chang's has a wonderful ambiance for family dinners and couples looking for romance, and the food and service was quite excellent!

Pros: Stylish, Comfortable, Excellent Food

Cons: Dark Lighting, Slightly Pricey, Location

I had no complaints about anything. My dining experience was excellent. I would greatly recommend for everyone. Much better than Leanne Chin's, etc.

If you want the freshest tasting and most authetically seasoned Chinese food try P.F.Changs.
The lettuce wraps are awesome! All the selections our group ordered were full of layers of flavors just waiting to tantalize our taste buds. A fantastic eating experience for all. A very welcomed addition to the Twin Cities area.

Pros: Fresh, Full of flavors

The restaurant is great when it comes to food and service, that is if you can get a table. We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday and was told we would have a table until 9:30 pm. They say they don't take reservations but you can call in and be put on the call list weeks in advance, sounds like reservations to me!!

Pros: great food, nice atmosphere

Cons: crowded, long wait for seating

While I was pregnant. That's all I wanted. My husband and I would go to P.F. Changs for lunch and or Dinner at the very least once a month... a few of the waiters actually knew us by site. The last time I was there was in July as my now 4 month old son is difficult to bring to a sit down meal, but I want to go there again... maybe for our anniversary!

Pros: BIG PORTIONS

Cons: The wait

The Beef a la Schezshan (don't know spelling) is out of this world!!! If you go with a group, have everyone get something different, so everyone can try a little bit of everything.

I often find myself debating with others who say they like PF Chang's better than Big Bowl. While I personally disagree, this is not to say that PF Chang's is not good. The food was quite good, and the lettuce wraps come highly recommended. I would go back for another meal, although I'd probably arrive no later than 5 (especially on a weekend) as it does fill up fast. A word of advice- check for cleanliness; our napkins had hair on them, even when after they were replaced, and our silverware was less than clean.

Pros: Good food

Cons: Busy/Crowded, Dirty tableware

I can not believe this rating!! People in this country are so narrow minded when it comes to many things especially food! These are authentic tastes of Hong Kong/China.. Not American. Grow and educate your taste buds America!!!

Pros: quality, taste, service

This was very good food. Everything was very delightful except the level of volume on the speakers. It was kind of loud and hard to have conversations with people around me.

we enjoyed it and would go back--do not get the egg rolls, they were very greasy. Get the lettuce wraps!! I heard they are excellent

What a wonderful dining experience!!!! I was dumbfounded the first time I went to PF Chang's--the artwork and lighting fixtures are INCREDIBLE! And then I tried the food and was even MORE impressed. We started with the Soothing Lettuce Wraps--I could just feel my tension melting away with each bite! And then we had the Lemon Scallops--I never even knew I liked scallops. Since that first PF Chang experience, though, I actually DREAM about those succulent, tangy treats. I can only go so long before I start craving them so badly I need to go back to the Bistro. The cherry on top of this whole deal is that the prices are very reasonable as well--it doesn't get any better than this!!!

P.F.Changs is definitely worth a visit. The food was great and the service was efficient. The only problem was the dim lighting and the loud decibels. But the food more than made up for it and is very reasonably priced.

Pros: Inexpensive, Good Food

Cons: Loud, Dim Lighting

Party of four, we were all very pleased with the food. The Szechuan Beef was particularly tasty, with twice-cooked and crispy meat and lots of great crunchy vegetables.

The waiter, however, could have benefitted from a personality transplant! The first time we went to PF Chang's our waitress mixed up a sauce for us combining a number of ingredients. This guy could barely be bothered to bring food to the table!

If you are a huge protien eater, this place may be for you, but I like some variety and vegetables in my meal. You certainly won't find it here. The spicey dishes are pretty good, but I have had some bland ones as well. Service is slow too. Atmosphere is great. I say skip it and go to Big Bowl across the street.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Protien based menu
