    Pepper Steak

    Warning: the best thing we received from this restaurant was the fortune cookies. The restaurant itself was nicely presented and had a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service and food did not meet expectations. Our server appeared distracted and distant throughout the meal. Although she had several tables nearby, she rarely checked on us unless we specifically requested assistance. The food was presented nicely, but the overall quality was disappointing. Several dishes were advertised as spicy, yet lacked any noticeable spice or flavor. The protein in the Singapore noodles was significantly overcooked, with an unpleasant texture, while the noodles themselves were extremely dry. We had to request additional sauce multiple times to make the dish feel edible. Our server also appeared unfamiliar with the menu, which resulted in us having to replace multiple items. The most disappointing dish was the pepper steak, which contained an overly excessive amount of sauce but very little flavor. Overall, this was a disappointing experience, especially considering the reputation of P.F. Chang's. If you are planning to visit P.F. Chang's, I would recommend choosing a different location. Hopefully, the experience improves under new management!

    Date NIGHT! If we are going to catch a movie at Tysons, we are also going to eat at one of the restaurants here before hand! P.F. Chang's is solid! It always has been! Service lacks if they only have one bartender BUT drinks and food are always good! Ambiance is casual, Asian flare decor! Let's get into it! Chicken Lettuce wraps - LOVE this dish! Although it's considered an appetizer I can eat it as a meal. Asian Ribs - Great! Dynamite Shrimp - Delicious! Fried Rice - You can never go wrong! Sweet and Sour Chicken - Delicious! P.F. Chang's Fan!

    PF Chang's is like when I hear a Teena Marie song.. It's an oldie but a goodie! Sometimes to get what I want I have to make the hike to the Gallaria, and low and behold, that Oldie but Goodie is sitting right in front next to Saks. When I drop in, I always sit at the bar and order one of their specialty drinks and a few appetizers or maybe some sushi. Service is always on point, with a manager consistently stopping by to say hello! In conclusion, before Mr. Chow, Phillipe Chow and even Nobu, there was PF Chang's in front of all the high end malls in every major city... It's still good just like when I hear "Fire and Desire, or Deja Vu", and the price point in just a fraction of the cost of those other trendy restaurants.. and quite honestly, taste just as good!!!

    We got the lunch special today. Teriyaki chicken w lo mein and firecracker shrimp lo mein. As appetizer we got the veggie spring rolls. The food is not as tasty as in other Asian chain fast food places Like Panda Express or Sakura Japan. The quality is not matching the prices. That's my thought. Service was nice. He was attentive. Around like 2 pm. It was not crowded. Ambiance is nice and big. Galleria is super fancy place to look around.

    Bbq pork spare ribs (bday free appetizer or dessert {$16.50 value})

    Wednesday 3/12/25 I've had PF Chang's: once in 2024 and once in 2025, and both of those times have come from me redeeming my birthday freebie which is a free birthday appetizer or dessert. In 2024, I got the BBQ pork spare ribs appetizer, and today I got the northern style pork spare ribs appetizer, both completely free. - The BBQ pork spare ribs were good and easily my favorite. The BBQ sauce is flavorful and pairs very well with the ribs. - The northern style spare ribs are ribs without sauce and would therefore be labeled as "dry rub" ribs. These ribs were a miss: there's no flavor and no real seasoning for it to be labeled as "dry rub". Overall, I always appreciate the annual PF Chang's birthday freebie. The sauced ribs were quite good, and I look forward to making another visit in 2026 to get my birthday freebie.

    We love P.F. Chang's but were disappointed when we visited two weeks ago. Came for dinner, and were excited to try some items from the new Golden Feast. We asked what parts of the chicken we would get with the Korean fried chicken, to which the waitress replied, I don't know it's whatever pieces the chef puts out at the beginning of the day. Say what?? Then we asked about the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, when she volunteered that was made with white meat. I had to correct her because the menu clearly states it's made with thighs. We ended up going with the popcorn chicken anyway and it was good but only about half of the tin can it came in was filled with chicken (see pic) the rest was those styrofoam looking noodles, so it's kind of ridiculous to charge almost $19 for something so small. Besides this we had the pork dumplings, Chicken Pad Thai, Beef and Broccoli and kid's Honey Chicken. The food was very good. Our main issue was really the waitress, she kept giving us the wrong info, she did not refill our glasses, she forgot the rice, then I mentioned my Chang's Bucks, and of course she can't process it, mind you that was the reason we even went. I had to ask for a manager because the back and forth was annoying and a waste of our time.

    Came in on a Sunday night for a good and inexpensive cheat day. Got the Chefs feast at $20.99 per person. You have to explicitly ask for the menu though from the server. Egg drop isn't as viscous as traditional egg drop soup. The lo mein is also on the oily side but still pretty delicious. Pork egg rolls came out steaming hot in a bed of rice crisps--very good filling with a savory sauce. The house salad was refreshing with a sweet savory dressing. The crispy honey shrimp had too much batter which gets you full fast. The fried rice is a skip as it was just soy sauce flavored rice with a single sprout. We had a really good and cordial waiter who made sure we were good with our food and were hydrated :) However, we noticed a different waiter from us who was frustrated as the table of 5 he served near us tipped poorly.

    A Perfect Night Out at PF Chang's - Like Mama Used to Cook, Only Better! If you're looking for the kind of dining experience that blends great food, incredible service, and the feeling that you're part of the family, look no further than PF Chang's. I've dined at many locations, but this visit was something truly special--and it all started at the bar with Jimmy. Jimmy the Bartender - The Soul of the Bar From the moment I sat down, Jimmy made me feel like a VIP. He's not just pouring drinks--he's curating an experience. Charismatic, attentive, and lightning-fast, he has a knack for remembering names, preferences, and even your favorite drink down to the twist of lime. His craft cocktails are flawless, and his conversation makes waiting for a table feel like the highlight of your night. Whether you're flying solo or with friends, make the bar your first stop and let Jimmy set the tone for the evening. Manager Jeff - The Maestro Behind the Scenes Now let's talk about Jeff, the manager who makes this PF Chang's run like a five-star kitchen in a luxury hotel. You can tell he leads with heart. Jeff doesn't just check in on tables--he connects. He makes the rounds like a host welcoming you into his own home, making sure every detail is right and every guest is happy. He listens, responds, and truly cares. When you see leadership like Jeff's, you know why the team runs so smoothly. The Food - Just Like Mama Cooked, If Mama Had a Culinary Degree Now onto the real star--the food. PF Chang's has always been a solid choice for elevated Asian cuisine, but this visit reminded me why it's a standout. Every dish came out exactly how we ordered--customizations, spice levels, allergies, everything taken seriously and served with precision. The Mongolian Beef was seared to perfection, tender and flavorful with that irresistible caramelized sauce. The Chicken Lettuce Wraps? Crisp, savory, and better than I remembered. Even the side of fried rice was cooked just the way I like it--fluffy, with the right balance of soy and sesame, like my mom used to make on special occasions. You can taste the love in the kitchen. The chefs here aren't just following recipes--they're putting their hearts into every plate. You leave feeling full, happy, and satisfied like you just had a home-cooked meal (if your home kitchen had a team of culinary pros, of course). Final Thoughts PF Chang's is more than a chain--it's a destination. And when you've got a bartender like Jimmy, a manager like Jeff, and a kitchen that delivers food straight to your soul, you've got a winning formula. 5 stars - Highly recommend. Whether it's date night, a family dinner, or just a craving for good vibes and even better food, go see Jimmy and Jeff. You'll walk in as a guest--and leave as family.

    Steak.

    Went their for Mother's Day. Disappointed by the service. Had a reservation but still waited so long to be seated. They wanted to seat outside the restraunt even though there was room inside. Their steak option for the special menu charged an extra $15 but the quality and quantity was way low. Waiter kept coming over saying the kitchen is running behind so the food will take a very long time. Overall didn't enjoy the experience staff looked very confused and frustrated with working as well.

    Lunch-Sized Orange Chicken
    Troy C.

    I haven't been to PF Chang's in so long and we decided to try it because we heard there were lunch specials. To my surprise, they had such a great selection for lunch! So many dishes, I believe over 10 different choices on the lunch menu. I ended up ordering the orange chicken with white rice. The chicken had a little spice to it, but it was flavorful spice. I definitely thought it was a great portion for lunch too. My only complaint was that it took quite awhile to get our orders and it wasn't terribly busy inside, so it made us late to our afternoon meetings. I would keep that in mind if you decide to go for lunch to give ample time.

Even though she appeared to be having a long and busy shift, she consistently checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed in a timely manner. We really appreciated her attentiveness and kindness. The only downside was parking. There wasn't any available directly in front, so we ended up parking in the Walmart garage and paying $12. We forgot to ask whether the restaurant offers parking validation or a voucher, so that's something future guests may want to check on. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere made for a great birthday celebration. Highly recommend!

Of course, I can't say for certain that it was from the food here, but the timing was concerning and definitely affected our overall experience.

As for the food, I tried a variety, and pretty much everything I had was tasty and fresh. My favorite was the Salmon Love roll and the Scallop Nigiri. The Salmon Love roll had a sweet sauce and then a citrus one that wasnt overhwleming but gave it a really unique taste. The salmon was delicious. Similarly, the Scallop Nigiri tasted fresh/high quality. I also enjoyed the gyoza - they were crispy and very flavorful. If I came back, I probably would not get the chicken yakitori or xiaolongbao again, though neither were bad. The yakitori just didnt have much flavor, while the xiaolongbao had a pretty good flavor (and a good amount of meat inside) but not much broth (which is really what I want when I order these). While I tried a lot of different things, it didnt even scratch the surface of ths options you have for the AYCE menu. Hibachi, ramen, noodles, a ton of specialty and basic rolls, lots of different apps, etc are all included, so it is well worth the $32 price tag.

Went over a few Saturdays ago a little before 2 PM. Semi-small spot, but it wasn't busy, so plenty of seats were available and I was basically able to sit anywhere. (I'll point out that while they do serve beer and wine here, there is no bar area or TVs in the restaurant.) This is one of those spots where you have to access the menu through your phone--no paper menus (unless maybe you ask). Not too much of a problem for me because I knew what I'd come for: the drunken noodles. Not much for vegetables mixed in with my meat, so I ordered the beef drunken noodles with no veggies (except for basil, which I left in) and scrambled egg. Ordered at spice level 4 (extra spicy); spice levels range from 0 (not spicy) to 5 (Thai spicy). I love spicy food, but I was warned by the waiter not to choose spice level 5 (LOL), so I went with 4 just to be safe. Don't know if it was because they weren't too busy, but the noodles came out blazingly fast--in less than 5 minutes! And the noodles were excellent too--honestly, up there with some of the best noodles I've ever had! At a spice level of 4, you could feel the spice, but it wasn't bad at all. I think spicy food lovers would be perfectly fine at 4 or even 5. The noodles were also well-portioned and fantastic. The base price for the noodles was around $14. While most protein add-ons are no extra charge, the beef option was an extra $2, and adding scrambled egg was another $2. With taxes, the price for my noodles came out to around $20, which wasn't bad at all considering my add-ons. Customer service was good--the waiter was nice, prompt, and informative about the menu (which honestly isn't the easiest to navigate online). Great experience overall, and I was in and out of the restaurant in less than 25 minutes. Enjoyed my meal so much that I came back a couple days later for their Monday-Friday lunch special, where you get a free appetizer (chicken soup, tofu soup, or crispy veggie dumplings at the spice level of your choice) with any entree. Ordered the beef drunken noodles and chicken soup, both at spice level 5. Both came out quickly and were excellent. Also tried the recommended Thai iced tea for the first time, which was also very good. No complaints about Kiin Imm Thai--I see why they're so highly rated here, and I'll definitely be returning as a regular. Only regret is living within walking distance of this spot for over 3 years and not being aware of it. In addition to this location in the Vienna area (close to the Dunn Loring Metro), I believe they also have a sister location of the same name in Rockville, Maryland. Highly recommend!

But upon chewing, the steak was not tender at all. Very very chewy. When you were young, you were taught fo chew at least 30 times. Well, this exceeded the recommended amount of chewing. The steak has a nice beefy flavor but just tough. SHAME. Overall, Sweet Ginger is a very popular and nice place to have Japanese food. The sushi plates (not pictured) were colorful and beautiful.

Since it was our first time visiting the Founder's Row mall, it took us a moment to get our bearings (the biggest parking entrance is on the southern side of the development but there are elevators that lead to the main area further northwest along Broad Street (including NUE, Ellie Bird, and Fish Taco) as well as the QR Code-based parking system. After scanning the QR code for parking, it was not too difficult to utilize it (NUE provides a code for 2 hours validated parking). Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by our server Joshua, who took great care of us throughout our celebration lunch and is very knowledgeable about the food as well as the restaurant group. Also, kudos Kyung at NUE's parent group (Happy Endings Hospitality) for acting super promptly (just over an hour later on a Saturday!) to an query I came across regarding their membership rewards. As for the restaurant's ambiance, it is decorated with a beautiful mural and the artistic direction reflective of Co-Owner Tuyet Nhi Le's heritage (her grandfather who was a famous painter). Upon sitting down and being served our requested hot water+lemons, we could notice the attention to little details (metal chopstick holder, bamboo lids atop our hot water glass, and later, the onyx-handled knife for the Fried Fluke). Speaking of the fish, our favorite celebration entree at Green Papaya was a Fried Flounder, and wouldn't you know it, one of NEV's "Iconic & Shareable" entrees is their Whole Fried Fluke with a bouquet of Fresh Herbs, Rice Noodle Rolls, and Pineapple Nước Chấm! This alone got us to slog through I-495 traffic across the river (congested even on a weekend for lunch!). In addition to the quality of ingredients (fish and herbs), Executive Chef Daniel Lê's thoughtful touches really stand out. For the fish, he debones the fluke's central bone while retaining its structure to make nearly the entire fish edible. As for the execution, the fish was prepared with optimal salinity, a delicate hand to let the innate flavors stand out, and superb texture (especially loved the crunchy dorsal fins, collar, and tail fin that were easy to eat completely). The abundance of fresh mint, Thai Basil, cilantro, and red leaf lettuce added a refreshing contrast together with the dynamic dipping sauce (slightly viscous to cling to the rice noodles and herbs), plump limes, and savory toppings (fried garlic-peanuts & fried scallion+oil). At $98, it represented a good value as the outstanding quality was matched by generous portion, satisfying both of our appetites (we purposefully ate very light yesterday) and left us with just enough room for dessert. To conclude our absolutely delectable meal were the Tropical Chè (~fruit parfait with coconut milk tapioca pudding, pineapple-mango-passion fruit sorbet, Thai Basil Seeds, mango, lychees) and the birthday treat of Fried Sweet Yuca with Salted Caramel Ice Cream and Waffle Feuilletine. The duo offered a lovely contrast of temperature (former being ~ fancy Halo Halo, latter being warm and comforting ~more substantial Mochi Donut-meets-steak cut fries), textures (tender, crunchy, QQ, and crisp) and flavors (floral, fruity, neutral-savory, salty)! To top it off, they included a Birthday Card featuring their signature artwork and a generous gift to welcome us back for our next visit! All in all, NUE is what we had been starving for the nearly past 15 years: a fine Viet restaurant that delivers fantastic food; warm, attentive, and welcoming service; classy ambiance for a special occasions, entertaining VIP guests, or just a fancy meal to treat yourself! With Joy by Seven Reasons having closed earlier this year, we had lost a dear favorite that starred fancy Fried Fish (Dorade) in a tropical culinary backdrop (Pan-Latin). NUE also fills that void. Now, if only NUE open a second location in the Bethesda-Rockville area like Joy!

It was hard to narrow it down, added to the fact that restaurant week had been extended. The food was excellent. As was my tamarind margarita which included tamarind candy on the rim The interior decor was top notch. It was like dining in an art gallery. Street parking was available.

    Banban fusion eatery is a cafeteria right around the middle of greensboro in Tysons. They have a…read morevariety of Asian fusions food options like stir fried bowls, salads and sandwiches. I came here getting the kogi steak and cheese. For around $8, you get a decent sized sandwich that taste really good! The kogi steak was pretty tender and Sandwich bread with it was toasty. It's definitely a must try for steak and cheese fans who want to try a bit of kbbq mix. The sandwich also came with kettle chips which was pretty nice. I would say one of the biggest downside is that the restaurants building just started to charge for parking. So the best place to park is the parking garage that offers free 30 min parking. Though they prepare the food fast, I highly recommend coming either early or after lunch rush since the line can build up.

    Banban is another one of those sushi "bowl" places. However, unlike all the other poke places,…read moreBanban has been open for years, and is much less trendy and more straightforward. Personally, I like that much more because there are no crowds of teenagers and the no frills vibe suits its surrounding environment better. It's tucked away in an office park. In and out is easy. Just place your order at the cashier first, then wait until they call your number and pick up your food at the counter where they assemble the food, underneath the menus. Next to that counter are additional condiments like Sriracha. There are some chairs and tables to eat at, but it's more of a takeout place than a sit-down restaurant. While they're open for breakfast, I have only eaten here after 11:00am, so my review is for their lunch, and specifically their sushi bowls. I've posted pictures of 3 different kinds, the Sushi-ko, Hawaiian, and Chirasi bowls. Each bowl has your choice of fish, grain, and then has a particular set of vegetables. In all honesty, I'm not too particular, so the three are not very different, aside from the assortment of vegetables you get with them, and the sauce. It's a pretty simple concept, but gives you enough variety. I like them, and am more concerned about getting a healthy mix of foods packed into the same meal. Banban certainly succeeds in this department. The quality of the ingredients, at least recently, is pretty standard. I'm not a sushi expert, so I can't comment on the fish quality, but it seems fine, and the veggies have consistently been fresh while I've visited over the last few years. If you work in the Tysons area, this is a great healthy lunch spot. While I only get the sushi bowls, you can also get: salads, wraps, sandwiches, tacos, burritos, and noodle bowls. Plus you can customize entire bowls. That's about 30 different options! While their selections favor omnivores, vegetarians have a few options, too. One important thing to note is that the word "sushi" might imply that it's Japanese, but it's actually a Korean place. This separates it from the other similar places because they offer bulgogi, kimchi, etc. Everything is under $12, and most items are under $10, and the portion size is comparable to other fast-casual spots. It's great for one serving, and if you're a healthy eater who adheres to advised portion sizes, then you'll be more than satisfied. If you're someone who is used to super-sized portions, then you might find it less filling (compared to a Chipotle burrito or Cava bowl). All in all, I come here because it beats all the unhealthy options, and because it has always been consistently satisfying. Service is also straightforward and pleasant. As a side-note, parking is sparse, so please keep that in mind. You'll either have to circle around, or walk there. This parking situation, plus the fact that they're not particularly remarkable prevents me from giving it 5 stars, but the consistency of quality, straightforward businesslike experience, and health factor are pluses in my book. I hope this helps!
