Derek the server there was amazing. He went above and beyond for the service today and was treating my daughter very nicely with a lot of patience which it’s hard to see especially in a busy restaurant. I will definitely come back to this location. The food was fresh and hot and made everything on point for their delicious food.

Everyone has their favorite chain restaurant and for sit-down joints, this is it for me. Everything is always amazing when I come here, but the first two visits we made back here in 2016, there were problems. We sat down for dinner in January once and my boyfriend got a REALLY upset stomach from the lobster fried rice. Then in late February, I came back for some take out and THAT order was messed up too, which I didn’t realize until I got all the way home. Should I have checked it before I left? Maybe BUT because PF Changs prides itself on quality, you shouldn’t have to. One of the managers Patrick agreed with me and asked us to please come back so he could make sure we had one good experience to make up for the two bad ones. It was definitely better and the quality we are used to when we eat here, and we have even come back a second time since, so I guess it was just bad luck of the draw those two times. Love this place and will always be coming back.

I love PF Chang’s without a doubt, my favorite chain restaraunt in America. Always good, consistent, full of flavor, changing menu and great staff. I like the Kung Pao«Shrimp, no peanuts please and they always get it right. The lettuce wraps are second to none and i think where it all started. 5 stars everytime from me.

Had the Lettuce Wraps, Crispy Honey Chicken and Mongolian Beef. All were just delicious. Stephen was our server and was super attentive to our party of 12 which included 4 children. He even got the kids’orders out early so they were occupied. Others at the table had the egg drop soup, wontons, Honey Shrimp and commented they were also good. Bill the manager even came out to our table to greet the birthday girl. Love this P F. CHANG’S!!!

This was my first time eating at this location. The overall experience was good, the Lemon Chicken & fried rice were excellent. The down side was the bar service! Well drinks are watered down & the wine pours are short.

The food is good, but the prices are high. The service was friendly and nice. I asked for a noodles with shrimp but the noodles were very salty.

Pf changs on a Saturday, a nightmare. If a party of 3 came first why do they sit party of 4 first. No logical management of how they organize. Teenagers who have no clue on service /customer management. Like groupies giggling at hostess desk.

I received a gift card for Christmas and after enjoying the food here years ago I was looking forward to trying some old favorites. Nothing was as good as it once was. The food is overpriced and for what you’re receiving I wouldn’t even pay Panda Express prices. The crab wontons had a weird taste. The egg roll filling was just salty mush. The Mongolian Beef was bland. The crispy honey chicken had a gooey and soggy coating while the sauce tasted like vinegar. The chicken lo mein was just spaghetti tossed with soy sauce and a few vegetable pieces with some doughy chicken pieces. Can they not fry chicken thoroughly? The waitstaff is great and sure the restaurant looks nicer than a Chinese takeout but if you want good Chinese food: look elsewhere.

The food is good, the décor is nice, the staff attentive, and the prices high, but they do have the Chang’s For Two, which is affordable. If you’re not into authentic Chinese food, this is the place for you. No weird dishes and no weird consistency or tastes. The food is truly delicious, but terrible for you. It’s all fattening lol Some of my favorite: Lettuce wraps Chicken noodle soup Combo fried rice Mongolian beef Crispy Honey shrimp or chicken Walnut shrimp Sesame chicken Ma po tofu Singapore street noodles Chow fun Spare ribs Cream cheese wontons Oolong Chilean sea bass Combo lo mein The location in Fashion Valley is tough to park at.

after being to at least 5 different locations over the years, I can come to the conclusion that PF Changs is consistently great. As I’m sure many others have realized, the chicken lettuce wraps are a tiny piece of heaven. we get them every time. EVERYTIME! savory and sweet tender chicken over crunchy rice noodles served with perfectly fresh, crunchy iceberg lettuce and served with a delicious sauce. I wish they could be delivered to my door daily. although I am a huge fan of hot & sour soup, there’s doesn’t hit the spot for me. too much sour and not enough heat, and there never seems to be enough filling. I wish there were more tofu egg and mushrooms to fill the cup rather than just the sour broth. it does have a nice flavor, just not amazing compared to many others I have had. tonight we had the Mongolian beef and the Kung pao chicken which was the perfect combo of savory and spice. beware the kung pao might be a bit too hot for some peoples liking. and sadly, for once, we were so hungry we forgot to take pictures of the entrees. for dessert we got the banana spring rolls which were extremely good! I highly recommend getting the Changs for two dinner which allows you to customize a 4 course meal for $ 43; so worth it!

This place is fantastic! My fiancé and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and ordered the changs for two. Started out with a egg drop soup and the hot and spicy soup. They tasted different than what we were used to, but still tasty. Next was dynamite shrimp which I suggest everyone get, especially if you like spicy foods. Our main meal was Mongolian beef and street noodles. Get the Mongolian beef. Just get it. It was so tender and delicious, I was really sad when it was all gone. I didn’t care to much for the street noodles but if you like curry then it be a great choice. Last was our dessert where we got chocolate raspberry wontons which we were not a fan of. BUT our waitress was super nice and gave us this banana spring roll ice cream dessert because we were celebrating our anniversary. This dessert was the best f***ing thing we’ve eaten in a long time. Our service was amazing! Ashley was our waitress and she was the best! We definetly will be coming back =)

After waiting 15 minutes, we finally had to grab a passing server and mentioned to her we had been sitting for sometime. Ok, we ordered, meal came promptly. Now for the catch. If you like sharing your left overs with the help, then by all means let them package your left overs, BECAUSE without fail they will put their hands in your to go boxes to fold down the tops. I have seem this every time, by every server preparing left overs. So come on, these guys/girls are hauling trays, dirty dishes, other peoples left overs, and then putting their hands in my «to go «boxes, yikes. Why not use the food preparer gloves that the kitchen staff use? Seems like this could be a public health issue. Which I will investigate.

Ate here for my first time a couple weeks ago and loved the Mongolian beef, as well as the chicken satay app. The dynamite shrimp also can’t be missed. Not too fond of the unremarkable chicken dish; I can’t even remember which one we ordered. Got the prie fix menu for 2 and it wasn’t a bad deal — comes with 2 soups, one app, 2 entrees, and a small dessert(that you can upgrade). I was hesitant to try the hot & sour soup since our waiter warned me it was hit or miss with most people due to the sourness. He was really nice and offered to replace it to an egg drop soup if I didn’t like it, but I ended up loving it! For anyone wondering, the dessert dumplings come in a pair and you can only get one flavor(there’s either choco/raspberry or vanilla). You can upgrade this if you wanna try both flavors(which I did of course). Nice little way to end your meal without feeling too guilty. Overall great service. Would return.

I been wanting to come here for a very long time and honestly I would like to say I wish I wouldn’t and forever wonder. Angie our bartender was not attentive at all!!! Very short n not nice. She never checked up on us and when we asked her for stuff(water) she seemed bothered? If the manager of PFCHANGSEVERREADSTHIS. Please I beg u to motivate these employees and remind them them fundamentals of costumer service! I worked for restaurant business for 8 years and it just makes me sad whenever someone is rude. I earned my stripes and I deserve to speak up so that’s why I’m doing so. The food was ok not the best authentic Chinese but oh well. The drinks were ok as well. Can’t complain. Just the service was not cool. The bartender didn’t even say goodbye :/ Must say NEVERCOMINGAGIAN!

I recently went to this location for a group networking luncheon. I never did catch the waitresses name, wish I had so I could really give her props. She was able to take care of the entire tables needs and no one had any issues. Her service was in perfect timing for everything requested. Waters were always refilled(which is a huge deal for me) and food was warm when we all received it at the same time. She took care of my order immediately and allowed me to pay at the time of order so that I was done with that part of my networking and could enjoy getting to know everyone and not worrying about my check. I keep ordering the lobster shrimp meal for lunches when I go. It is very tasty and a perfect size.

Is there a way to go wrong at PF Changs. We stopped in on a Friday evening, they are an easy place to go with large groups. For a group of 6 at 7 pm the wait was around 30 minutes, can’t complain! First thing we did was order the lettuce wraps. These things are to die for. I refuse to come without ordering them. Then we group ordered some beef and chicken and shared. For a crowded place the service was extremely fast and the food didn’t take too long. Our waitress seemed like she was running all over the place, but still on top of everything! Skipped dessert this time, but had a great family dinner!

I came here just the other day and sat at the bar. The bartenders were friendly, the food was good, the service was fast. The drinks were strong. I even sat there chit chatting with the bartender as they were closing things up and nobody kicked me out or made me feel no-longer welcome. Before I knew it I turned around and I was the last person there lol time flies when you’re having fun! I will surely be back for those Singapore noodles I passed on that night. Oh by the way, the place is in the fashion valley mall parking lot next to the container store. Siri was telling me it was across the street, so I had a little trouble finding it.

Where to start. I came here for the first time ever(not just this location, but this restaurant) for a birthday dinner. We arrived at 7pm with a reservation at 7:30p. We needed 75% of our party of 12 to arrive before we could be seated, but we were all there before 7:30p. We were all STARVING by the way. 7:30p rolled around… then 7:40… 7:50… 8pm. They gave away our tables, so we had to wait thirty minutes past our reservation, which really takes away from the purpose of a reservation. We were finally seated, and I think after hearing most of the party complain, we got a few free appetizers. This was, of course, very nice of the manager. I was happy that she attempted to make us happy. Service was dreadfully slow. the only thing that came fast were those free appetizers. I get it that service can really slow down when you have a big group of 12, but I feel there should’ve been more of an effort to put on a happy face. Large group means large tip right? Water took a long time to come, some of the glasses were dirty, and when they started taking our orders, it was very uncomfortable. I felt very rushed, and our group started singing happy birthday to the birthday gal while I was placing my order. Our server, Nilou, didn’t really stop trying to take my order so I could sing Happy Birthday and she looked agitated with us in general. Of course, maybe this wasn’t the case, but the customer only knows what she or he can see. All I saw was a grumpy face. The food itself was good. We had a lot of different things from the menu, and I am happy to say that I have tried this place. The dip that came with the crispy green beans was delicious, and the lettuce wraps were on point! We also got the honey crispy chicken and pepper steak .The honey chicken tastes like a reduced orange chicken. The cashew chicken is definitely a little more tangy, so if you want something sweeter(but with a lighter flavor than orange chicken) try the honey chicken. Everyone got something different. The dessert was interesting, and it would have been great if the cream cheese had been blended better with the vanilla. I see where they were going, but the last little bit of cream cheese didn’t have that flavor and left me scraping the plate for the vanilla cream. It was still delicious, and I would definitely get it again. I really wish they would’ve told a party as big as ours that we could not split checks using cards. I understand it can be a hassle, so the server should have thought about it and told us we would need to charge equal amounts to each card. It was pretty hectic for 12 people to split up a bill of over $ 300 when not everyone was prepared to pay cash. Three of us didn’t have cash, but at the end, she charged 3 credit cards separate amounts. I think this place was good in terms of food, but the service will definitely keep me away. I know it can be challenging to serve such a big group, but I really could’ve done without the poor customer service. The birthday girl(my friend’s mom) had a good time, which is great, but I know it would have been better if the service improved and if we had been given our table at the appropriate time. Probably won’t go back to this location. MAYBE I will try the La Jolla location.

The pork dumplings were delicious! The shrimp fried rice is always on point. I also had the sesame chicken but without broccoli.(My husband has a broccoli allergy). The food was so good I over ate. The dragon ooolong tea is always my go to drink. I love the tea pots! The only reason this place did not get 5 stars was because the wait is always at least 30 minutes for dinner. Also on this particular visit our server was just a bit slow at bringing plates and our check and drinks.

«Best Sesame Chicken Ever ! « For my wife’s Birthday Lunch we when to P F Chang’s in Mission Valley. We were lucky we had Wes as our server. This handsome server was so Professional, Friendly, Funny, and one of the Best we have ever had, Ever ! They should make this guy a Manager ! My wife had the Mongolian Beef with Fried rice, and I had the Sesame Chicken which was Phenomenal ! We both had a starting bowl of very tasty Hot and Sour Soup, with some wonderful butter tasting crispy noodles. For dessert, Wes brought my wife some delicious Pineapple and Coconut ice cream with a banana won ton. It was very good ! This lunch at PF Chang’s with Wes the server’s guidance, was a great way to start my wife’s Birthday.

Me fascina este lugar, sus hojas de lechuga con pollo están deliciosas! Los camarones con nueces y bolitas de melón riquisimos, los camarones picositos también muy buenos, el arroz frito y aun me falta probar muchos mas de sus deliciosos platos.
