    Food was very bland. Hardly any flavor. Had to add soy sauce to fried rice just to taste something. Won't make the same mistake twice.

The food is solid; our group typically gets wontons, spring rolls, noodles, fried rice, chicken curry, fried pork, beef and broccoli, and a couple of seafood-based dishes. I'm not a seafood fan, so I avoid those, but I usually enjoy everything else. The one area I feel like there's room for improvement on: the portion sizes are smaller here than other Chinese restaurants I've been to in Utah, so it's not as much of a bang for your buck.

    The food itself isn't terrible, but it's not 100$+ good. The service is great, it's clean and a fun…read moreexperience but honestly, not worth the hype or the 30 minute wait. Really caters to Utah's childish palate, with bland sauces and flavorless meat. We ordered the orange peel chicken, cashew chicken, honey walnut shrimp, ham fried rice and shrimp fried rice, and all I could taste was the salty sauce. The cashew chicken was by far the most diverse plate with plenty of green beans, water chestnuts, peppers and cashews, but the flavorless salt sauce overpowered what might have been a beautiful combination. You couldn't taste any spices or herbs. I could go on. Just know it is definitely white people safe, and honestly, Panda is better.

    Disclaimer: I'm Asian so I have a higher standard for Asian food. But from what I had here, it…read moreisn't even great for American Chinese food. And I'm really puzzled by the high ratings of this place here on Yelp. I had the sautéed beef, which is listed as "Sa Ti" on the menu, so when it was brought out and announced as "sautéed beef," I was a bit confused. While the vegetables were decent, the beef was tough and from the flavor was a cheap cut. The hoisin sauce was not thick enough and a bit too runny like maybe water added.(?) This also made the flavor weak. After the first disappointing bite of beef, I only picked at the vegetables. I didn't finish it nor did I ask for a take home box. In my opinion, looking over at the people at my table (I was at a club meeting), everything looked on the cheap side. They all seemed to enjoy their meals, though. The portions are huge, so you'll get a lot of mediocre food. The service was OK. We were a large party of about 45. They knew beforehand we were coming. We noticed that even though our table was first to order, we were one of the last to get our food. One person at our table got her food significantly later than we did. There was one table that still didn't have their food when we got our checks. Water refills were never checked and neither was my soda. The Dr. Pepper was good... 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

And misoYUM definitely delivers …read more.. right to your front door ... or, more accurately, to the front door of the business park you work at. misoYUM is another entry in the "cup bop" craze and, thank sweet baby Jesus, they've brought new, mouth-watering flavors to the mix. For those unaware, Cupbop (aka"cupbob", "cup bob", etc.,) hails from Asian roots. As "taco" describes a wide variety of Mexican ingredients mixed a wide variety of ways into a succulent, savory Mexican dish, Cupbop describes one of many Asain culinary mashups. First piece of advice to newbies: MIX IT UP! When you receive your food, piled high in a hybrid Chinese food takeout/ cupbop cup, take your fork and mix it up. A lot of the sauce and meat is near the top. The next layer: Veggies, crisp and fresh lettuce and veggies. At the bottom? Rice. The more you mix, the more the flavors dance on your tongue. Second: You can pick more than one sauce. I'm an addict to the sweet, but I'm guessing most will want it mixed up a bit. However, if you're into the sweet side of Asian cuisine, you're in for a treat with the Sweet Honey Soy Sauce. YUM, indeed! Along with the sweet honey soy sauce, you can have the Mild Spicy Mayo, the Medium Asian Chili, or the Hot Sriracha Wasabi (that will simultaneously punch your nose ... and your tongue, but mmm mmm, good!). Here are your main choices in cup: Chicken (honey-glazed), Pork (red-pepper), Pot-Sticker (pork and veggie), Veggie (all ingredients, sans meat), and the one I tried one my first visit, The Combo Cup. All I have to say, of course, is YUM! I loved the sweetness of the chicken, the subtly spicy pork, the little mini pot stickers, and I love, love, love the glass noodles. Food trucks are a little out of control these days, charging sit-down meal prices. Not so with misoYUM, in-and-out at $8. And quick service! I hope the Centerville-based food truck comes down to SLC more often ... I need to continue getting my YUM on!

Our waitress was attentive during our order, I found the advertised "19.99 per person" feast to be perfect for us ! Only to find that there is small text stating that the $19.99 per person pays for one appetizer for the table ?? The advertisement insinuates that it includes the appetizer per person until you read the small text... I did find that people passed us multiple times with water while we sat with half empty cups for a lot of our meal. Our crab rangoon was room temp/cold and -in my opinion - completely lacking in flavor. My boyfriend didn't even realize there was cream cheese in them. The sauce was great but I felt like I had to drown every bite in the sauce in order to get good flavor payoff. We received our two soups. The egg drop soup is well made and flavorful ! The hot and sour soup was flavorful and had a lot of texture which was nice. However, at the bottom of my egg drop soup, I found an odd shaped and gelatinous blob...upon asking, the waitress wasn't even sure what it was. And I had bitten into it thinking it was a part of the soup !! Until I looked up what is in their soup out of curiosity and GELATINOUS BLOB WASN'T AN INGREDIENT. Our entrees were warm and flavorful ! I loved my pf changs spicy chicken. I loved the crunch and different textures that came with the sauce on the spicy chicken. My boyfriend's Mongolian beef was flavorful but I did find it to be a bit salty for my taste. He did have pieces at the bottom of his entree that were extremely overcooked bits of beef. They were so hard that he had to spit out a bite because he couldn't get through it. We completed our meal with a peanut butter and chocolate cream pie dessert. It was okay, truly nothing outstanding to say about it. Overall, I was disappointed in my visit today at PF Chang's - considering I have had a good experience at this location in the past. But that was over a year ago and I'm not sure what has changed since then. With how much money you spend at PF Chang's, you expect quality food and service and I found neither of those things in my visit today.
