I've been going to P.F. Chang's for many years and it's a neighborhood gem. The food is excellent, the servers are wonderful, the ambiance is lovely, and the restaurant is always clean. The value is outstanding. The only reason I'm not giving a full five-star review is the hostess experience. When arriving, the hostess often seems confused, and it can take an unnecessarily long time to be seated, even when the restaurant is not crowded. Improving the greeting and seating process would make the overall experience much better. Food: A+ Service: A Ambiance: A Cleanliness: A Value: A+ I enjoy dining here and hope the hostess experience can improve to match the otherwise excellent quality of this restaurant. read more

Great Service, Disappointing Food The service was great, but unfortunately, that was about the only highlight of our experience. We ordered the Mongolian Trio and had to send it back because the menu didn't indicate that all three proteins--shrimp, beef, and chicken--were battered and fried. When we pointed this out to our server, he offered to have it remade without the breading, which was a strange solution to a menu that didn't clearly describe the dish in the first place. The pepper chicken was so sweet and heavily breaded, and even the lettuce wraps, which used to be our favorite, were syrupy sweet. Everything seemed overly sweet, fried, and heavy. Maybe our tastes have changed since we last ate here years ago, but the overall food quality just felt off. Another confusing part of the experience was making a reservation for five, arriving to find the restaurant almost empty, and still waiting nearly 20 minutes to be seated. Finally, the payment app's suggested tipping options started at 23%, which felt like a lot to be presented as the lowest option. Overall, the service was great, but the food quality, confusing menu descriptions, seating experience, and payment process left us disappointed. Sadly, this visit didn't live up to our memories of P.F. Chang's. read more

I love P.F. Chang's, but I have never been to this location. The service was great, but the food was not. We got Dan Dan noodles which were bland. My favorite dish of all time is Chang spicy chicken but it not saucy or flavorful. I'm pretty bummed by my experience here. read more

Best chicken with broccoli that I have had in years! The lettuce wraps also seemed to have more chicken than before! Both were delicious!

I looove going to this P.F. Chang's location. It's always clean with a sophisticated but yet suprisingly quiet atmosphere. I'm a fully satisfied repeat customer. If you must know, I have a thang for P.F. Chang's ;-) The staff are absolute jewels. They are able to answer my questions with a smile and very patient with me when I take time to decide on what to eat...the menu is sooo expansive by the way which is a posssitive thang. My selected drinks and food I've ordered makes me want to taste more yummy menu items. Overall, it has been a consistently greaaat Chinese restaurant to go to and always worth a visit either for lunch, dinner, or happy hour. It never disappoints!

Had a great experience at P.F. Chang's. We ordered a nice variety of dishes and everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The crispy pork belly bao were tender and savory, the soup was comforting and well-balanced, and the shrimp, chicken, and beef dishes all had great texture and seasoning. Nothing felt overly greasy, and each dish had its own distinct flavor profile. Portions were generous and perfect for sharing, which made it easy to sample multiple items. Service was friendly, attentive, and paced well throughout the meal. The restaurant had a lively but relaxed atmosphere, making it a great spot for both casual dining and a night out. Good food, good vibes, and a solid spread. Would definitely come back read more

We had not been to PF Chang's for probably 3 years - we stopped coming due to service and the parking. I'm glad we tried it again today. Luckily, up front parking was available. More importantly, our server (Armon) was pleasant, informative and attentive. We thank him for a great lunch experience. We just had lettuce wraps and hot/sour soup - both were good. read more

Great food, well priced and friendly staff! It's family style dining so we tried various items, all were good.

Excellent food! Service is good but overtaxed. The ambience is nice, clean, and interestingly decorated. read more

This is what happens when Chinese gourmet decides to put on a blazer. The pickup was impressively fast, the food arrived hot, fresh, and looked like it actually wanted to be eaten, and every bite tasted like someone in the kitchen genuinely cared. Sure, it's definitely pricier than your average corner spot, but the quality backs it up. The value gets a solid three stars--not bad, not unforgettable--but honestly, once you take that first crispy bite of the orange chicken, you're too busy eating to notice. If you're craving Chinese food that feels like a step up without the wait, this place absolutely delivers. My wallet sighed a little, but my taste buds immediately told it to relax. Recommend the orange chicken and Mongolian beef for some tried and true standards done well here. read more

8pm on a Thursday, more than half the tables were empty and we were quoted a 40 minute wait. We left.

Was here last week for my husbands birthday. We received great service. The food was fresh & amazing. We sat outside so it was a little noisy from the street traffic but we also had children so it works out. Parking can hard to find if you have a big car but this location is so much better than the one in fashion valley. read more

I visit P.F. Changs once or twice a year.  My favorite thing about P.F. Changs is I can walk over.  They also keep adding new dishes.  The latest is Korean Fried Chicken.  I ordered it bone in with dry rub 5 spice seasoning.  I liked the crunchy batter and how the chicken was tender and moist.  I liked the fried flavor but the dry rub made it saltier than I'd prefer.  I would prefer this dish without seasoning.  It was pricey at $22.49 for a breast and 2 wings.  For comparison at BHC my fav Korean Fried Chicken spot it's $16.99 for 8 piece wings and I always have pieces left over. Northern style spare ribs were tender and I liked the flavor of the pork mixed with a bit of dry rub. Rice was moist and I liked the mild flavor.  Service was good except my server didn't bring fortune cookies with the check. P.F. Changs has good dishes but prices are usually higher than my favorite spots like Golden Chopsticks. read more

I don't present my self as an expert on Asian food, but similar to many other Yelpers, I know what I like ! And I like PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wrap with Iceberg Lettuce ($16.59). Yes, the price has increased, but at least the quantity seems the same. In fact, for two adults I ordered more lettuce wraps to accommodate the amount of chicken filling. Delicious. I also like Sweet and Sour Chicken ($17.99). Yep, a bit overpriced, but split between two, it was an adequate amount. It was delectable, price be damned. Our server was Joshua, and he was quite attentive. But the voluminous restaurant was almost completely empty during a Friday lunch hour, so he had time on his hands. The quality is there, but the business isn't. Perhaps it's the pricing. read more

We've been regulars at P.F. Chang's for weekday lunches, and that's when this place really shines. We're always happy when we're seated with Anneli--she remembers us, makes us feel welcome, and even when busy still takes the time to pour our wine and check in. That kind of service keeps us coming back. Our recent weekend visit was a completely different experience. We were seated right away, but the meal stretched to nearly three hours due to slow, inconsistent service. Our waitress was polite but minimal, then disappeared on break without notice. Another server stepped in briefly--friendly and attentive--but we never saw him again It was clear he was covering too many tables. From there, it was a lot of waiting--empty glasses, plates sitting until we asked for boxes, and a long delay just to get the bill. When our original waitress returned, there was no acknowledgment or explanation. We also asked for the blinds to be lowered, and instead of handling it directly, it was simply passed off to the hostess, which added to the overall disconnect. Prices have also increased significantly (easily 3x from when we first started coming), and with no lunch specials or smaller portions, it makes the experience harder to justify when service doesn't match. The food is still good, but weekends just don't deliver the same experience. Weekday lunch: yes. Weekend: not worth it. read more

The food here was OK. Best one was the beef and broccoli. The green beans were also good but definitely spicy (my tolerance is low so I could only eat a few). One thing was I got the noodles (they didn't have a flame sign next to it) and assumed these weren't spicy but they were spicier than the chili-garlic green beans and so it was real hard for me to eat. I wish that was labeled better. The banana dessert was really good but I would share this as it is a lot for 1 person and can get very sweet. Staff and place was nice read more

Brian provided outstanding service and was extremely helpful throughout our visit at PF Chang's. His recommendations were excellent, and his attentiveness and knowledge about food allergies made the experience even better. I truly appreciated his exceptional service! read more

Don't order the lettuce wraps and the "new " calamari. Both were sadly tasteless. We used to love this restaurant but it has gone downhill. The service was excellent however. The AC was chilly and the restaurant was dark. We chose to eat outside which was ok. read more

Decided to try again after last few time food was horrible. They keep cutting costs by changing food recipes. I have been going since they opened when it was excellent. I had kung pow chicken and basically little fried balls of something without any apparent sauce and sent it back. Service and servers very nice and friendly and know exactly what I mean about changes. I can't say enough about how disappointing it is to see another good resturant heading for failure due to "business decisions. I get the issue of costs , but when you kill your product to save you loose! Won't be back when lots of good options. read more

This is a tough one. Annabelle our server was magnificent. There was an issue with one of the meals and while she asked more than once if we wanted it replaced (we did not) it was nice to see such a professional attitude and we felt well taken care of. The meals were good. Not great but solid. The atmos was pleasant. The manager checked in and was also quite nice. The one thing that bothered us were the very (and I mean very) dirty air vents above the kitchen. They are caked with dirt and dust and some of that must make its way onto the food as they are located literally above where the food comes out of the kitchen. Not sure how these can be missed. Other than that a very nice experience. read more

My husband and I were staying in the embassy next door to this P.F. chang's. Our anniversary was the day before and We decided to go here for dinner. Service was absolutely amazing, the food was so good, and they even gave us a gift card for the next time we come. I ordered the asian Cesar salad and I forget what my husband ordered but everything was delicious, We also had a couple long island ice teas and a bottle of Chardonnay, after we received the bill we realized that they had taken off the bottle of wine and bought it for us, so we tipped very big. We even got free desert. Overall our experience here was amazing and I definitely recommend. read more

Horrific. That was the most bland food I've ever had. There are so many better options for food in San Diego, pick anywhere but here.

we used to love this place, but the last time we went there were tables open everywhere but were told we had a 30 minute wait! the music was loud and terrible, staff was very rude, we left and wont go back read more

We were in La Jolla celebrating our grandpup's birthday road trip. Each day was filled with eating adventures for 3 meals a day. For our last dinner we decided on Grub Hub from PG Chang's. It's really nice to have a comfy meal together before we left super early before the sun rose to go back to the airport. This is what we had: edamame cuz we needed something green and healthy, savory tender ribs, and noodles with combo protein. Complimentary fun to open fortune cookies came in the package. It's that little moment of surprise if you get a cool message in those simple crunchy treats. Thanks Doc for picking up the tab for another delicious meal. Thanks for inviting us to T bebe's birthday road trip read more

I placed my order on the app and promise time was 8:15p when I arrived at 8:20p food was not ready, I had to wait until 8:55p for the manager to hand me the order after multiple attempts to get an update. Food quality was also not as good as it used to be!! -fried rice use to be the best, not anymore, Clumpy, flavorless simply terrible. -lettuce wrap were good -hot n sour soup was decent (too vinegary) -egg soup, terrible (tasted out of a can) -sesame chicken was good -red velvet cake was good Overall the experience was not what I remember and what I experienced now gone down. There is a reason why they are discounting their menu to get traffic through the restaurant. How about focus on food quality and excellent service to lure customers into the restaurant?! Not again! read more

P.F. Chang's - Dynamite Shrimp appetizer, 6 shrimps for $18 - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

Writing the review while eating some PF Chang leftovers - which, still good, so that says something. We had the chicken lettuce wraps, asian caesar salad (Romaine, parmesan, toasted sesame seeds, wonton croutons), spicy chicken (sweet-spicy chili sauce, green onion), chicken lo mein (Wok-tossed noodles, mushrooms, Asian vegetables, savory soy sauce), with white rice. Everything was very good except for the chicken in the lo main - was quite dry. Especially like the texture and spiciness of the spicy chicken. Finished off with a complimentary birthday chocolate cake. Quite a large slice! enough for four, really. Great atmosphere outside, fast friendly service. We had made a reservation, but on a Sunday afternoon the place wasn't overly busy anyway. read more

First time coming here for a work lunch and it's very spacious, clean and modern inside. Service was friendly and checked on our big group often. I like that the lunch specials are decently priced and come with a variety of items. I ordered the crispy honey chicken with lo mein and egg drop soup. The chicken tasted just like orange chicken and wasn't as crispy as I liked and was too sour for me. The lo mein also was soggy and soft and tasted sour due to the sauce from the chicken. The egg drop was a bit salty and lacking in flavor. I also got the peach boba breeze and it was sweet and refreshing. I had the red velvet cake as dessert and it was decent. As someone who grew up eating authentic Chinese food, I wasn't impressed at all with this place. You can find much much better Chinese food at other restaurants, and even at Panda Express as P.F. Chang's is definitely Americanized. read more

I seldom am inclined to leave a review let alone a negative one. I will never attempt to eat at any PF Chang's locations in the future. Today was Mother's Day and I arrived at 12:25pm and put in my name for a table for 4 and happily accepted the patio since that is what seemed to be easiest. I was told they will text me in 45 minutes. After waiting for hour outside I went in at 1:30pm and asked how much longer the wait would be, and was told "10 more minutes". Now it was nearly 2pm and we are still waiting. At this point it was going to ruin our plans for the rest of the day so we began to leave. I asked if I could get my parking ticket validated for the parking structure labeled "PF Chang's Parking" which is shared with the Embassy Suites by Hilton. The validation ticket scanned as "invalid" at the terminal and I had to pay $46. So not only did we not get to eat we also had to pay $46 per car to get the hell out of there and find someplace else to go. After sitting outside for nearly two hours! The girls at the front desk seemed clueless and were telling many groups "10-15 minutes" which made no sense. Never again, just go somewhere else this was a joke. I would leave zero stars if I could. read more

Ordered pick up, supposed to be ready at 6:48pm, came a little bit later and then waited for another 10-15 minutes Since our favorite dish - Crispy Honey Shrimps with candied walnuts and honeydew was discontinued, we've ordered Teriyaki Trio (Beef, chicken and shrimps) with fried rice. It was inedible! Teeny tiny pieces over-fried and crispy in a sweet sauce. At least it was hot. The fried rice was barely warm and tasted like plastic. Not sure it was because it was in a plastic container or because it was from frozen package heated up... Dinner was ruined. read more

Service was incredibly slow, they don't appear to be too stressed about turning tables. We were told the wait for 4 would be 5 minutes but ended up waiting 20 minutes to be sat. With plenty of empty tables available. Once we were seated, drinks and appetizers came out quickly but other food came out staggered over about the next 45 minutes. Most of us were done with our meals still waiting for one last plate of Mongolian Beef. Food was tasty but the slowness and what I perceived as lack of care by the staff seals it for me. Will not return! Get you stuff together! Paul and Phil would not be pleased with the state and operation of this location. read more

Nice setting and all around architectural design. Arrived around 1:45 pm. Fair amount of customers but very few employees around. Customer service is below average, some employees had attitudes . Food ok over priced. Too bad , nice setting but not a joyful environment. Could do better with employees matching the environment. read more
