P F Chang’s

With all of the great Chinese food that Montréal has to offer, PF struggles in terms of food quality, service and ambiance. If you’re looking for a deeply westernized, fast food version of Chinese this might suit your palate.

Wanted a lil’ something between a snack and a meal and so we got the wonton soup, hot and sour soup, and the chicken lettuce wrap.
The wonton soup’s broth was nothing like I’ve tasted before… Definitely not like the broth you’d get in Chinatown or at a food court… It tasted like a beef broth; don’t know if I like it. The soup seemed oily, with spinach, a shrimp and water chestnut in the soup, and the wonton is filled with pork.
The hot and sour soupwas good… Watery, which is unlike the cornstarch-​y/​gel-​like ones that I am used to.
The chicken lettuce wraps are always delicious. You can always ask for more lettuce if you don’t think there is enough, or just ram pack your lettuce roll with the meat since there is so much. Make sure you ask for the sauce (chili, hot mustard, and the third I’m not sure if it’s a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil).
This is a good place to go to if you want to feel fancy eating Chinese food.

Am family style restaurant with an amazing staff and great food! I really enjoyed their beef and broccoli and shrimp appetizer. You can’t really go wrong when the meal ends with a yummy fortune cookie! :)

Nice venue for dinner amongst friends. We had & shared several dishes and really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly and look forward to going back..

I’m going to write a quick review as I’m on vacation. This is for the location outside the mall PF Changs Décarie. First off the outside greets you with 2 large warrior horses-​wow! Then you enter & the entrance wows me again with their high ceilings & Chinese décor of grandeur. Hostess greets us immediately-​good.
We are waited upon in a timely manner. We order large bowl of wonton soup ($ 9.99)& dynamite shrimps ($ 11.49) as apps. Came fast.
Soup had a mild balanced blend of flavour which was good. But chicken pieces were overcooked tuff & dry –hard to swallow. The actual wontons were tasty.
Dynamite shrimps were tossed in a chili mayo sauce which was actually little spicy, just right for most «tourist». For me little too saucy but my family liked.
Main meal we ordered shrimp in lobster sauce. This is where I got disappointed;the sauce was way too runny & thin. It had a slight bitter aftertaste. The eggs were clumped in one big clump. sigh won’t order again. It was $$ 18.99 so I expect better of this chain. Kinda pricy for what you get. Next we had Mongolian beef $ 18.99 this was tasty, good flavour but disappointed that they use flank steak which made the meat chewy & a bit hard to swallow. The meat is thick cut. We had steam rice to accompany the meal.
This place is kinda pricy for what you get.
I’m not feeling like this would be a «go to place» as a normal weekly dining place but if you are taking someone on a date or doing the tourist thing then it’s good to try once just because the décor should be enuf to «blind» them a bit & food is ok.(not wow or great) I say that because the atmosphere & décor & friendly service make up for some of the shortfalls of the meal. I’m used to spectacular chinese food so that could be it too. I’m not one to write off a restaurant on a first try either unless they did so poorly on a first time basis, so with that in mind I would try PF Changs again but order some other items to see how they fare. As for this visit to Montréal I’m good for a long while. I’m giving them 3 stars based on everything –I would give them a 5 for décor alone tho!

I’ve been looking forward to eating here since it was under construction, based on its reputation in the US. Then, it opened, and friends consistently said they were underwhelmed.
But I’m stubborn. I needed to see for myself, and I’m glad I did.
The menu was mostly what you would expect, with very few original dishes. That being said, we had the lettuce wraps to start, which, with the sweet soy, was delicious (though a bit overpriced…)
For our mains, we had the mango chicken and the sesame chicken. Both dishes tasted very good. We cleaned our plates. Comments about prices being expensive are, in my opinion, somewhat misplaced when you consider that the dishes come with rice (normally sold separately elsewhere for $ 2.50-$ 3.50). So while I know many more authentic Chinese restaurants where you can get great dishes (with rice) for $ 12-​$ 13, paying $ 14-​$ 15 for just a dinner main (n/​i rice) doesn’t shock me.
For dessert, 3 mini desserts hit the spot.
All in all, a good experience. I will return (to try the lemon chicken.).

First of all if you consider this to be Asian food you don’t know what Asian food is… It is clearly an extremely Americanized Chinese restaurant with things like «Buddha rolls» on the menu and several versions of General Tao chicken /​kung Pao chicken.
That being said the interior is splendid and it is above average Americanized Chinese food that I do not mind having once in a while. I had the crispy chicken, yes it did cost more than 5 $ but it was much better then the filth you will get at the food court.
Will I go back? Probably it was a good experience and I liked the food but I don’t kind myself that I am having exotic Asia cuisine and it is a big chain in the USA

Visited this place during a blizzard which proved to be a smart move as parking was great and the place was half empty.
The most impressive thing? Our appointment at 7 PM was actually respected! (PF Chang LAVAL, I’m looking at you!)
Like the Laval location, esthetically the place is very chic and warm.
Once our congregation of friends all arrived, we started our order process… or lack thereof. I’m unsure if the staff was limited on this night but once again we were on the receiving end of some real poor service. We order our drinks and they come half an hour later. Does a few sodas and some warm sake make it acceptable to wait this long?
Eventually we got served our drinks and we quickly ordered our plates, I took the much promoted chicken in lettuce wraps and the legendary Mongolian beef.
The appetizers arrived relatively quickly (thankfully!) and since I was hungry enough to eat an Ethiopian child, I tore into the chicken in lettuce wraps… only to be quite disappointed that the chicken was actually pretty bland and the lettuce leaves still relatively soaking in water. Neither I nor my wife were able to finish this. We waited for our mains.
The warm sake was shared between my friend and I and as always hit the spot after enduring the Canadian winter outside.
Afterwards, we waited well over 45 minutes to receive our plates and they did the biggest taboo, serve us 5 of our 6 main meals. We looked at each other apprehensively as we waited for his plate to come. 2 minutes later my friend encouraged us to dig in… what a charitable soul… watching us eat our meals while he waited almost 10 more minutes for his meal, that had been «forgotten». Really?
Let’s discuss the legendary Mongolian beef… so… what happened to it? Why was the portion already smaller than the portion served at another location that was small enough as it is? Also, let’s chill on the salt folks. I recognize this isn’t a buffet styled place but for $ 20, I’d like a decent sized plate, preferably not being drenched in salt. Lots of water was drunk.
I didn’t opt for a dessert and I settled for filtered coffee since the barista couldn’t work the broken espresso/​cappuccino machine tonight. Great! In the end I ended up with nasty filtered coffee that I couldn’t drink more than 2 sips.
Not wasting calories on this.
The service all night was lamentable, slow and at times impatient to downright rude (waiter said a snappy comment to one of the ladies at our table).
On a special note, the price tag is ridiculous for at best average food. How can I pay close to $ 90 (taxes in) for two and still leave wanting more?
I started thinking. This is bad. Was the place half empty on a Saturday night because of the b
blizzard outside or the reputation of this place is finally catching up to it? Reviews on Unilocal are very hit and miss… well add me to the miss list.
There are better options out there and I won’t be back, at least specifically at this location.

There are definitely a lot of other places with better Chinese food. Not only by quality but by quantity as well for what you’re paying.
