Editorial Review for P.F. Chang's China Bistro – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Towering twin stallions and carved wood screens add majesty and mystery to this stylish restaurant, where well-dressed patrons sip martinis and families with children feast around large tables or in spacious booths. The menu gives Chinese classics a contemporary tweak; dishes are artfully presented, with many sauces made tableside by servers. Signature plates include diced chicken wrapped in cool lettuce leaves, orange-peel beef with chili peppers, and wok-fried scallops with lemon sauce.

I liked this place. The food and service were both good. I must say that for a large party the "family" style didn't really cut it for us. We weren't sure how much to order and it's strange to order for a large group of people whom you don't really know. Other than that, everything was great.

First of all, this P.F. Chang's has never impressed those that know good Chinese cooking. This particular restaurant needs to find new chefs. The food is over-spiced, salty (not good for your b.pressure), and caters more to those use to non-authentic Asian cuisine. I do like their novel way of greeting you by bringing the bottles of vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce and the waiter personally mixes these with the Chinese mustard to your liking. Nice gimmick. Their dishes have beautiful presentation; but taste is sacrificed at the hands of an unqualified, perhaps overzealous chef. We ate at a P.F. Changs (with much reluctance after our experience in Bellevue, WA) in Santa Clara, CAlifornia; and I must say, they knocked our socks off. Not only was the service impeccable, but the food was pleasing to the palate. Their chicken moo shu was average, but the sweet and sour pork was mouthwatering and their candied walnuts and prawns were out of this world! Plus, this prawn dish included bits of honeydew melon. That fruit enhanced the overall flavor and married well with the sweet mayonaise sauce. We often order this walnut prawn dish in other Chinese restaurants, but this P.F. Chang's in California wins the prize.
Pros: Portions, Atmosphere, Decor
Cons: Bellevue restaurant vs. California's
