We stopped in because we were starving and my wife knows she can get something for herself, being a vegan. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Didn't have to wait too long for anything. I got the Singapore Street Noodles which were good. Nothing mind-blowing, but good. Could maybe have used a bit more kick but that's just me. My wife got some kind of beef with veggies/rice dish, but substituted tofu for the beef. She loved it (she's easy to please) and took what she couldn't finish home for leftovers. We don't normally go to chains, but stopped in this time, and have no regrets. I just absolutely hate the decor for some reason. Hasn't been updated since it opened, and I've never liked it much.

Love, love, love the pad thai. Large portions. Delicious options to choose from an Asian inspired menu. I also enjoy the beverages available, beer, wine, tea and more.

The orange peel edamame wasn't very good but the Buddha feast vegetarian dish was pretty tasty!

Basically walk in to your local hole in the wall Chinese place, order some lo mein, take it to a fancy restaurant, plop it on a fancy plate and you have PF changs. Dont get me wrong the food is good. But no better then a hole in the wall place with 4 booths. I guess I expected better from the appearance of the exterior and the atmosphere on the inside. the lo mein was ok, my friends mongolian beef was really good. I wish I had gotten that. I personally like the egg drop soup at other small take out places better. The salad has a "interesting" dressing. The photos that are posted really make the food look great. I assume most of the ones I've seen were professional pics. great lighting and food is placed perfectly on plate. If your in the mood for chinese and passing this place its perfectly fine. but thats about it. You can put a lamborghini body kit on a honda civic, but its still a civic. btw the service was excellent. No name tag so i dont know his name. he introduced himself but I suffer from CRS. edit: Just saw shon r's 1 star review. He mentioned the noodles arent even prepared right, they're to mushy. I had the same problem. Like they were over cooked Edit: Yep this is definitely ordinary Chinese food. i forgot why i rarely eat chinese. This has the same effect on my bowels as taco bell.. the equivalent of a 2 alarm structure fire.... Everyone get the f*** out!!

I went there with my mom and dad, we ordered a bowl of hot&sour soup and the 2 cups out of the three were nasty and so is the silverware.. We told the waitress that we would like to get new ones. She brought new cups and silverware. The new silverware was also dirty. The main course came and we got the plates and happened again. The plates were nasty as well. We told her right away that we want new ones. We should have just left, but did not want to make a scene. She told us that it is the dishwasher's fault. She should have checked the plates that she gives to the guests I think but let's just blame the dishwasher. Happened 02/25/2015 1 pm

Great food but this location is terrible with takeout orders. They mess up our order every time, forgetting rice or giving us combination instead of plain chicken. Recommend as a dine-in only location.

I haven't been here in years! My mom gave me a gift card for Christmas and I finally got around to using it. Even on a busy Friday night, we were able to get a table right away. I ordered the Mongolian beef and enjoyed it. It had a taste of being grilled beef. I also ordered hot tea for the table. We used to always get it at Chinese restaurants when I was growing up. It seems like places don't just bring it out anymore. Which is sad. Our service was slow and we didn't see our waiter very often. It will probably be a while before I come back again. Not memorable enough of an experience for me.

Had my sons birthday dinner tonight at PF Changs, I had the beef and broccoli which was a bit on the sweet side but good, my son had the crab fried rice which was spicy and my girlfriend had the Mongolian beef which was sweet but taste like BBQ. We did have the fried green beans which was also good I prefer the sauce from TGIF, the sauce that came with the green beans was too spicy. Our waiter was ok not so friendly, I did ask if they could sing happy birthday to my son which he said he couldn't sing but would give him a cake with a candle which was nice. Over all it was ok, they need to add more rice to your plate and be a little faster with brining out your food. I guess I was expecting more.

This is a very nice restauranat in a very nice shopping center. First, it seemed completely unorganized. We were seated promptly but it seemed that they had no idea who was going to serve us. Once that was worked out our drink order was taken and drinks promply delivered. We ordered the fried pork dumplings, hot and sour soup, orannge beef, and shrimp with candied walnuts. The dumplings were very tasty and well prepared, the hot n sour soup though tasty was luke warm which was highly disappointing. The orange beef and shrimp with candied walnuts was ok. Honestly this place does not desearve the prices it demands for either the quality of service or food offered. To me the chinese food hear is dressed up Panda Express which serves very similar items and similar in taste. I wil not be returning

Bruce B.
What have they done to their dumplings? I am thinking by dropping some of the old items they have lost their way. It is sad to see the Corp changing things for cost savings yet the prices are raising, instead of being all about quality. Sometimes quality costs a Corp a bit more but certainly protects the brand. The leadership of this brand may be heading down a path "mostly traveled" unfortunately.

dear pf changs, when a person orders EXTRA broccoli (and pays for it), there should be more than 5 pieces of broccoli in a dish. and, having no dressing for a salad is super annoying. and, i have eaten shoe leather more tender than your calamari. i would tell any of this to a server...but this was all a take out order. so, i just get to be unsatisfied and ripped off feeling. **end rant**

Wish I could do a 3 and a half. The food is good but it isn't worth almost $15 a dish. I understand it is family dining but thats excessive. I can get authentic asian food for half that price! I do enjoy their lettuce wraps but I don't think it's worth almost $10. Maybe drop some of their prices. Its nice for a special occasion but I wouldn't come here often.

Overall, this restaurant is amazing. I've had many celebrations here, including the day that I got my first prosthetic and was able to walk again after having lost my leg, which was celebrated here with a bunch of friends and family. My wife and I had our first Valentine's Day as a married couple here. We've also just come here for an everyday regular dinner on many occasions. The food is always fresh and delicious, the staff is courteous, refills are frequent, and prices are relatively low for the atmosphere. I've had an order come out wrong, and as soon as we brought it to the waitress's attention, a rush order was put in, and within minutes the proper food was on the table, plus the messed up order was boxed up and given to us to take with us as well, which we subsequently gave to a homeless man who was sitting nearby outside. And even though they had just made everything right, they ended up giving us free dessert as an apology. So I mean, customer service... They've got it.

Most people have experienced P.F. Changs by now so I'll be brief: Favorite drink: Key Lime Martini- get it for dessert! Favorite dish- Crispy honey chicken- I get the lunch portion and its served with soup beforehand and a side of brown or white rice Favorite appetizer- Crab Rangoon...no explanation needed for that i dont think.. Service at this location has always been pretty good. Not sure what it is with restaurants and stuck up hostesses but this location seems pretty on par with that sentiment. Wait staff has always been friendly and prompt so no complaints but nothing stand out to report. The order online process is AWESOME and they always have everything ready for me by the time I have requested. The only reason I don't go to P.F. Changs wayyyy more (since i work across the street and have to smell its yummy goodness allday everyday) is the amount of salt they put in their food. Please don't roll your eyes, I'm not a huge crazy health nut but holy cow i feel like I could drink an entire pool and still be thirsty after eating here. Don't even get me started with the nutrition facts on the sodium counts on 95% of their dishes. Lesson to take away from this: make visits as special treats but for the sake of your health don't make it a habit.

Went on a weekday for dinner, and didn't have a wait for a table. We were able to wait for a friend at the bar, and the bartender waited until our friend arrived to pour his drink and brought it to our table. Chicken lettuce wraps are always a must! Whenever I go to PF Changs, all of the appetizers look so good, but I always default to the lettuce wraps. The dinner for two is a GREAT deal: appetizer, soup, entree, and dessert! I got the hot and sour soup, SO good! I love all the veggies in it. The Kung pao shrimp was good but does have a kick for those who don't have the biggest toleranc for heat. And finally the peanut butter chocolate dessert was good, too!

I went with group. The server started by forgetting my drink. next finally the hot and sour soup came but it tasted like old oily sour soy sauce. The color looked like my diet coke. by the way I had to beg for more refills. sent soup back to where ever they scrapped it from the bottom of sauce pan. yuck. finally after 30 minutes kung pao chicken came out. One white rice was cold and crunchy. The chicken tasted old and the sauce was out of same soup pot. The hot part I ordered was a few whole peppers thrown in at last minute. well I didn't hardly eat. frustrated I went to supermarket and got sushi to go yum. The rest of the pf Chang meal went into trash. run away from this nightmare.

Bottom line - the quality here just seems to keep going down. While Chang's was never a place that I considered to be authentic, it was still good in a pinch for decent Chinese food. My last couple of visits will likely be my last, at here in Orlando, as the food was just not good at all. Every place should be able to hook up noodles or rice, but this Changs has failed at both. Again, I am not expecting to be blown away, but I have been to Changs in other cities that more than satisfied my cravings for Chinese. The noodles are what I can only describe as mushy and just not well prepared. The same with the rice on a few occasions. Add to that the fairly high prices for what you get and skipping out on this place becomes an easy choice.

We ordered 39.95 meal for 2 I ordered spicy chicken and Almond chicken. We ordered the lettuce wraps appetizers, and wanton soup, which is as mentioned prior review to be excellent and fresh. My husband enjoyed Almond and Cashew chicken and I really enjoyed my spicy chicken (mild chili powder) and it excellent spice. Ordered chocolate cake with raspberry sauce for dessert. Oh my decadence(super delicious)! Great food for any event or a nice evening out with family or friends!

Best restaurant for lettuce wraps! Other restaurants offer them on their menus but can't compete! Your waiter offers to mix the dipping sauce claiming he has the "secret" to the best recipe, but of course it is just part of shtick----you can mix your own.The problem with this location is the noise due to large crowds and poor acoustics. Better to go on an off hour when service is better and noise level is not a factor.

Food is great, to long of a wait, but it was worth it. The waitress forgot my drink order but quickly recover her tip when it was replace with a Margarita. The chocolate cake with raspberry its gross to much chocolate for my tasting, there dessert are usually delicious.. Won't.order that ever again.. But overall was a.great night.

Meh. That's the feeling I have after eating at PF Chang's tonight. I've been to the chain before, but the lack of quality service left me with a bad taste in my mouth on this visit. We called ahead for seating and to our surprise were seated immediately upon our arrival. Little did we know that would be the least amount of time we would wait all night. We ordered the PF Chang's for two, which is an awesome opportunity to get four courses for $39.99. Each person gets a soup (choose from hot and sour soup or egg drop), you share an appetizer (choose from a list), you choose two entrees, and you also get a dessert. A great deal! We ordered pretty quickly, but it took a very long time to get our soup. As in, a ridiculously long time. I saw people who had arrived after we did eating appetizers, but we were still waiting for our first course. Our soup and appetizer arrived around the same time, which was fine with us. But I had a bad feeling that our entrees would arrive before we really had a chance to finish those. I even mentioned it to my boyfriend. Sure enough, it happened. We had to politely ask them to wait and bring the entrees back in a few minutes. When they did, my chicken wasn't very hot at all. I also didn't receive the brown rice I asked for. I understand that Saturday night is a busy night, but we were basically ignored and our service was below average. I was really disappointed. The food quality was decent, and better than a lot of the Chinese food in the area, but it would have been a lot better had we been served properly.

We ate on the patio and the tables were filthy. The wait staff made no move to clean the table. Fortunately, I carry wipes and cleaned the table myself! The upside was that the food was good. But I keep wondering how clean the kitchen is...

So you decide you want Chinese food, but want something more upscale? Higher quality food maybe? Better service? Just better food? You most likely will not get what you want from P.F. Chang's. 2/5 The Service: My wife and I used to go to Chang's all the time simply because we both worked in Winter Park, didn't have terribly long lunch breaks, or were getting out of work late and had to grab something before heading home. The service here is almost as inconsistent as the food. I would say that 3/10 of the times we went here we had a spectacular waiter or waitress. There was that 30% that did everything in their power to make sure we had the best lunch or dinner. Who made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Too bad it was not more often. Many times we had waitstaff who would literally just drop the plate of food on the table and turn around and walk away. During any sort of restaurant rush hour, Chang's is snail slow with food serving and although you can see waitstaff rushing around, it is often empty handed. Just an example, we once had a reservation at 6:00 pm, and our party of 4 did not leave until 8:30 and not by lack of trying to leave. 4/5 The Atmosphere: I shall give corporate HQ for Chang's a round of applause here. The restaurant is beautiful. Not necessarily perfectly accurate to actual China, but beautiful nonetheless. I dropped a star because there we many a times when there was food on the floors near tables or inside the booths. Sometimes a few crumbs are acceptable, especially during a dinner rush situation, I am understanding, but when we were sometime 1/3 tables in the entire place, I felt that it was just poor cleaning at that point. 0/5... no -3/5 The Food: So, is the food disgusting? Honestly, no. It is quite salty though. It is average for the most part and good at best. But Chang's has the least consistent kitchen ever and boy do I mean ever! My wife and I are vegan so we have very particular orders, and although people may believe it's hard being a vegan, I shall inform everyone that cooking vegan is very easy. It is just vegetables, nuts, rice, sauce without meat. We are talking about LESS ingredients here so I do not understand why it was so hard to order something without meat and bam! It comes to the table with meat right in it. So I would say that 90% of this is the kitchen's fault, but this goes back to service, shouldn't the waiter that I pleaded with to make sure no meat in the dish realize that the kitchen screwed up before bringing us the plates? And I am not talking about a rare, random occurrence. No, I mean statistically more often than not, one or both of our meals would be terribly wrong to the point where we had to send it back. Now, for those of you who are not vegan and still thinking this does not apply to you, there are many reviews about how they ordered something remotely special like extra meat or broccoli that was messed up. Chang's corporate has tried contacting me so many times to try and rectify the issue. And honestly, we kept going back because they kept giving us large vouchers. It was like an abusive relationship, we just kept going back knowing how bad it was. But after the 15th or 20th time they sent us meat, and charged us for meat, when we just wanted some darn veggies with noodles... we gave up trying. I shall say though, I sometimes miss their veggie lettuce wraps, those are awesome, but still not worth the hassle.

Go to the Millenia location if you can. This P.F. Chang's has a very long wait, bad service and horrible management. The food has come out lukewarm or cold multiple times and generally the employees are flat out rude and act like they have better things to be doing.
Believe it or not this was my first time to a PF Changs..yes shocker. I typically try to avoid chains, especially chines, but a friend of mine really wanted to go. I asked the server his recommendations, and he said the Chang's Spicy Chicken, and Lettuce wraps. I requested that my spicy chicken be "extra spicy"....um lets just say it was pretty mild. So of course I had to spice it up myself, not bad, but that always adds a different flavor. I did really enjoy the lettuce wraps, and the option to get brown rice. I'm sure I will revisit one day, but just not on my top 10 list.

Wow we had amazing service here last night. There was 10 of us for a birthday dinner. The waitress came by and asked if we would mind moving our table about a foot, so they could sit a table behind us. It wasn't a big deal to us so we just scooted the table a bit. There was about 5 waiters there to do it for us and they were shocked that we did it ourselves. The manager came by about 5 minutes later and gave us two free appetizers. One of my friends is allergic to shell fish. He ordered the fried rice, which unknowingly to him, had shrimp in it. He ran out to his car and got an epi-pen. He is totally fine. But while he was gone, the waitress and the manager stopped by at least twice to make sure he was good. As soon as he got back to the restaurant, they made sure he was fine and brought him out some new food. They comped his meal and gave him a $50 gift certificate. The only critique I can say is that it was a little complicated dividing up the check. It took them a little while to get the checks out. I think there was some confusion on their end as to who ordered what. I enjoy the food at PF Chang's. I always get Chang's Spicy Chicken. It's great every time. I mainly wanted to highlight the exceptional service we had. It was unexpected.

Pretty yummy! On this particular visit I was still fighting a cold so I just wanted soup - wonton to be exact - and boy, did I get soup! My girlfriend and I just wanted to catch up over lunch and sat back and relaxed before our crazy New Years celebration coming that evening. Our server was great, very attentive. I have always come to PF Changs for dinner or a big meal, never really crossed my mind for lunch but glad I experienced it. I am on this kick of requesting cucumber in my water and each place that can accommodate does it differently. Here they delivered my water with a small plate of cucumbers, that was a nice touch. I ordered the WonTon soup and it was a huge portion. It came out in a really nice huge serving bowl with a small bowl to eat from. The dumplings were sparse in number but NOT quality. The size of them were huge. (that's what she said) They were fresh and delightful too. I had to take the rest of the soup home and was excited to have it for my dinner that evening. They also had huge crunchy noodles which was a huge plus and are definitely my favorite touch!! I agree that P.F. Chang's is a little over-hyped as Michael C pointed out but it's also a nice treat every once in a while, def one of the better chains diluting this world.

The service is not good. Me and my friend went there because I've heard it is a really good place to go but I deifinitely won't go again. The table and chairs were dirty, the floor was dirty and nobody was taking care of that. They were slow and I was really craving a Chino Latino pork, after 20 minutes they told us that they were out of it and I had to choose Kung Pao Chicken, not impressed at all. For the prices they have, it's not worth it.

Maxine R.
The food was fantastic and the portions were generous, however our experience was made truly exceptional by the wonderful service. We came here Sunday night and ordered enough food to feed a small village, we asked that the dumplings come out first as an appetizer. A few minutes later our server, Patrick, came and apologized for the wait (we hadn't even noticed) and said something was wrong with the steamer so it would be a little while longer, but he put the rest of the order through so we wouldn't be waiting. Our food came out shortly after along with an extra dish on the house and the manager with a second apology. When our dumplings came we were told that they'd be taken off the bill. Everyone was so polite, and attentive without being suffocating. They went above and beyond to try an make sure we had the best experience in spite of the steamer issue. It really made us feel like our experience mattered to them.

Not my first visit but first review. Food was really good! I was surprised. I think perhaps they have updated their menu. I had the Asian grilled salmon. Party of about 12, no complaints on food. Service was another issue. Horrible. Waited 30 minutes for,drinks then another 15 to order apps then another 15 to order dinner. Dinners all come with a side of rice, and no one ever received any rice.

I'm addicted to the Kung pao scallops. Lettuce wraps are another favorite. Service has always been impeccable and they make take out convenient incuding a system where when your phone call comes in the see on computer what your last order was and ask if that's what u want. Also there are assigned parking spaces for take out. This food is so much better than traditional Chinese good which has msg and is too greasy,

If you want good, overpriced, Chinese food you've come to the right place. The food is good, it really is. But it's definitely on the pricier side for Chinese food. (Lunch is fairly priced though!) The (vegetarian) lettuce wrap is super good as well as their version of calamari. It's different, but very enjoyable if you like a little spicy. My personal favorite dish is either the Shrimp Fried Rice or the Crispy Honey Shrimp. PFC is also very gluten-free friendly so if you Celiac disease you will you have lots of options; just ask for their gluten-free menu! In general, the waiters are pretty attractive too, which doesn't hurt. I enjoy PFC so I know I'll be back.

I believe this is my 2-3 experience eating here and by far this is NOT authentic chinese. Go to Tasty Wok if you want the authentic and not so ambiency eats. Of course ambience is nice and the lettuce wraps and mixed drinks are HITS here .. however - TOO AMERICANIZED for my palate. Not only that portions and price is Blah... BTW they are affiliated with PEI WEI -- and ive heard mediocre to poor reviews with them as well!

It was raining, we've been postponing our 25th Anniversary because of health issues and it now rains... so I asked my husband, if he still wanted go, he said LET"S GO! I called for LAST MINUTE reservations on a Sunday, about 5PM, for 5:45PM reservations and just briefly mentioned it was our 25th Anniversary. So we arrived a little early and they sat us pretty fast, though it looked very busy! We didn't realize yet the menu had a 4 course entry for 2 ppl at $39.99 so we ordered apptezier Mahi Mahi tacos (we were early so they had 3 for 3 which means from 3pm-6pm, they had $3 drinks and appetizers to choose from) that said, when the app arrived I was disappointed with 2 small tacos, 2 pinky size strips of Mahi Mahi in each, with NOTHING else in them... they really lost themselves inside the small tortilla flour flavor! Ok, I splurged on Plum Wine and shared it a little with my husband, after all we are celebrating, right?! I thought it was excellent... we finally decided on the 4 course dinner for two, chose the crab ragoons as appetizers! (See pics) They were delicious, I've tried these at other places and this must be the very best I ever had, the waiter explained they it was fresh crab and with some sort of ginger dip, it was just very good! Then he continued to explain that for Soup (egg drop or sweet and sour) we preferred the Won Ton and that will be a little extra because it came in a BIG casserole (see in pic posted), to share... he wasn't kidding and it was definitely, worth paying a little extra for... also NEVER had Won Ton like this! It had even SHRIMP in it and some veggies, that was also made FRESH! Here's where the surprise starts to come in, the waiter brings me a vase with fresh roses and lilies, wishing us a Happy Anniversary, a card, all signed by them and 2 champagne flukes with strawberries in them! (See pics) REALLY unexpected, I was debating if to ask, if it was to take home or if it was to decorate the table for our occasion? I finally asked, feeling bad, if I were to leave them and show ungratefulness or if I left with them and they'd look at me, if I'd be stealing! LOL Anyways back to an awesome dinner, my husband chose the Mongolian beef, which was very tender and I chose the broccoli w chicken that was also very tasty... they brought 3 different dipping sauces and we chose brown rice vs the white. It all ended with mini deserts, I had the Tiramisu shot glass was DELICIOUS and my husband had the cheesecake, it wasn't as good as the Tiramisu! The service was excellent, the waiter kept coming by asking, if we needed anything or how we liked the food... everything came out on a timely manner. I didn't give it a 5 star only because of the Mahi Mahi tacos and mini cheesecake but overall experience was very satisfactory! We had left overs and the EXTRA mile of attention, to such short notice of our Anniversary, was just over the TOP! I had to just come here to post how an awesome experience we had and how thankful I am, to PF's contribution of making our 25th Anniversary, a very special one! And I usually don't take pics of ourselves, for the obvious reasons... but I let the waiter get away with it, this time (must of been the mixed drinks)! lol

What a rip-off. Fake Chinese food, taste bad too.. Non-flavored steamed veggies for like 10 dollars? what the heck. Want some good Americanized Chinese food? Try Kim Wu on Kirkman road. Dare to try real Chinese food? Lam Garden on colonial drive. Stay away from PF CHang, Pei-wei, Panda express..yuck and unhealthy.

This is a great P.F. Chang's location. While parking can be tight in the Winter Park village, your frustration ends at the parking lot. The large dining space offers plenty of dining room for singles, couples or larger groups. This location is always bustling, so expect a bit of a wait during prime dining hours. I've dined here and ordered take out from here regularly since it opened. I've never had a bad meal here, but this is "Americanized" Chinese food. It's a chain, and this is a nice location of the chain. If you are here for lunch, check out their lunch specials next to the apps on the menu, which offer some discounted options. Service is great and you can be in and out of here quickly- if you need to be. If you've got time to dine at lunch or dinner, you can linger without feeling like you need to scoot out of your booth. Service is always very accommodating, if you want some veggies added to the honey shrimp, they can do that. If you hate broccoli, let them know and they'll sub it out for what you want. They have vegetarian and gluten free options clearly marked on the menu. All nutritional info and ingredient info is available. Apps are yummy, with lots of options. Iced tea is tasty, though different that Pei Wei's (which rocks!). Brown rice is offered and if you are splitting an entree, you each get a bowl of rice, which is nice. Take out orders are always packaged well and still warm when I get the order home. The orders are organized well, you check out at the bar and are on your way. There are a few designated take out parking spots, but sometimes people park there...as in, for their dine in dinner. Don't be one of those people. Please. Read about the new Happy Hours while I was dining, offered from 3-6pm daily, looks fun! Will be back to check out Happy Hour at some point soon.

Horrible service! Maybe because it was mother's day and it was busy, but it was still unacceptable. First, they brought out only 2 out of 6 dishes. The other 4 took another 45 minutes. Then the waiter had the nerve to insinuate it was our fault because we took 10 minutes to order. Finally we ordered coffee, and that alone took another 20 minutes. Meanwhile people that got there 20 minutes after us had come and gone. The food also sucked. It was cold and greasy. Anyway, that's the last time I ever go to this place.

I went for Happy Hour (3 til ?), sat at the bar ( only one other customer but it was early, 3:15) and James was very nice, pleasant, and attentive. Drinks were reasonable. I paid $3 for a Tsindao beer, $3 for decent eggrolls , and $4 for Pork Dumplings (good). I interacted with several other employees including the food runner, very friendly, and a beautiful server. All were very nice. Over all I enjoyed it.

I'm not sure why people are hating on P.F. Unfortunately, Orlando doesn't offer a decent selection of chinese food, so P.F. is as good as it gets. Is not like they serve horrible food? They serve flavorful chinese food and they have a great variety of vegetarian dishes. They can also accommodate your meal to healthier means. I usually order my sauce on the side or I ask them to place half of my meal on a to-go container. So, until I find a better chinese food restaurant..P.F. is my choice.

P.F. Chang's gets a lot of flack for being Americanized Chinese but let me tell you, I've been to China and a little Americanizing is fine by me! They must be doing something right in appealing to the masses because they are always packed. If you want authentic Chinese then head up the street for some squid or scorpion on a stick (actually saw it in Shanghai). Yes, I know, those restaurants also have some very delicious dishes as well! I like the food and ambiance. The lettuce wraps are an awesome start and I always order the same entree, Crispy Honey Shrimp with extra sauce on the side. I like the fact that they have brown rice but they never bring out enough. They'll bring you more but you have to ask. Why are they so stingy with rice? It's rice! I usually give Chang's 4 stars but at this particular location on this visit I'm deducting a star for lousy service. Our food took FOREVER, even our app look a long time coming out and the restaurant was empty. Entrees, check and even my birthday dessert took way too long. Maybe it was the kitchen but I have a feeling it was our server, she just seemed out of it. They have a Happy Hour menu from 3pm-6pm with prices ranging from $3-$6 for select drinks and apps.

Enjoyed the meal. First visit here. Tried the four course for two. Food quality and portions were good except for the desert. The desert should just be extra. The portion was too small to enjoy. I especially enjoyed the steamed ginger salmon.

Just had lunch here with my boyfriend yesterday. We have visited on MANY other occasions without any problem. This last experience however, was terrible. Our food was good but our server "Dana" was AWFUL. She barely smiled, cut her eyes at us several times, and even gave our credit card and check to another guest without apologizing after the mistake was discovered. She didn't seem happy to be serving us or working there, and should probably find another job. Very unpleasant experience for us.

Love the gluten free lunch and dinner menu! Yum! Try the beef and broccoli with fried rice and egg drop soup lunch combo.

Great food, great atmosphere, great wait staff, great prices. This location has it all! My boyfriend and I have gone here the past couple of times I have gone up to visit him in Orlando. We ALWAYS get the Lettuce Wraps! They are my FAVORITE thing there. And then we usually share the chicken fried rice. It is so good and we usually still have left overs afterwards! It literally is so much food for a GREAT price, usually we will spend about $30 for a dinner for the two of us, but there we only spend $20 tops! The last time we went to this restaurant we had decided to each order a cup of soup along with what we usually get. I got the egg drop and he got the hot and sour soup. To our surprise, there soups tasted nothing like we expected, we did not like them at all. However we didn't complain we just pushed them off to the side. When we were done eating the waitress noticed that we hadn't really touched the soups, she asked us why and we told her that we just didn't like them that much. When she came back with our bill, much to our surprise she told us she took the soups off of our bill and told the manager and apologized for it. We thanked her immensely and after that even the manger came by to apologize. We were so taken aback by there generosity and just how polite they were. We made sure to tip our waitress very well before we left too! I was very happy we chose to go there and I plan on going back! If you dine there ask for Kasey as your waitress!

Still one of my favorites. You can always count on great food and service. My staple is mongolian beef and hot and sour soup. Mmmmmmm!

Casey H.
Most of the time I'm usually impressed. Certainly the sweet and soar soup is a must have. Salt and Pepper prawns are my typical mean at the place but today they were not cooked well. Disappointed in the butter soaked shrimp. We had 4 appetizers and everyone of them were good. Hot tea was a nice complement today given how cold it was. Good service!

Haters are going to hate, so what can you do? PF Changs makes good food and while the prices are higher than normal for most dishes you can find coupons to reduce the costs making the experience better. My favorite dish is the Mongolia Beef and their spring rolls, hot and sour soup and lettuce wraps are all favorites too. The one big downside is that rush hours will leave you waiting for a table. Luckily if you are a small group or single you can sit at the bar to get your meal.

They've gone fast-food folks! Its all precooked then slightly (and I do mean) slightly warmed for table service. Six of us and not a one of us had a properly heated meal: from ordering time to on our table was under five and a half (best guess) minutes. And most of the comments from surrounding tables were "very very bland and, food is not the proper temp"....that was coming from exiting-guest from couple tables in front of us. Might as well go to community take out.

Color me crazy I really enjoy this place. I like Americanized chinese food in a great atmosphere with excellent service and consistency. It is great fun to come with a group and split some appetizers and eat the entrees family style. I always have a good time here. I also think the food is better than many authentic chinese places, which is sad that they have such low standards.

A reliable Gluten Free menu with several delicious options to chose from. Love this chain! (Mongolian Beef, perfection)

You know... PF Chang's is Americanized, overpriced Chinese food, but for what it is, it's A-OK. I have to commend them on offering a large Gluten-Free menu and that the items we tried were very tasty. The steamed salmon with ginger was delicious, however, $19.00 for a portion of salmon seemed very steep. They also have a delicious GF chocolate dome. It was a combo between a flourlesss chocolate cake and mousse texture. Totally delicious and beautifully presented on the plate with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. This is not my go-to restaurant, but it's a decent, albeit expensive meal.

WE went there for happy hour/breakfast (my first meal of the day) and it was an incredible deal as well as great food and service. The vegetable lettuce wraps along with the fried green bean thingers make a great veggie dinner. It's a staple that I had forgot about but will definitely revisit soon.

Brandy T.
I've been to PF Changs several times, however this particular visit was specifically to try out the happy hour menu. Everyday from 3pm-6pm (at participating locations...I was in Winter Park) they have a $3-$6 menu. Import drafts (Blue Moon and Kirin) are $2, select wine and mixed drinks anywhere from $4-$6. The server was incredibly friendly and helpful with our selections. She was also the bartender so she described the drinks in detail (wish I could remember her name). We ordered the Pork and Rice Siu Mai (soooo yummy, we ordered a second round), the Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps which are always a delight, and the tuna tar tar. We were pretty stuffed for only spending $28. If you like trying a variety of appetizers Happy Hour menu is where it's at.

I'm very skeptical about Chinese food. It's, by far, one of my least favorite dishes. However, P.F. Chang's has some nice dishes that are great and really stand out for a chain restaurant. This location has really great staff and I am happy to dine here whenever anyone I'm with has an inkling for Chinese food.

For some odd reason, everybody and their mother wants to celebrate birthdays, engagements, bah mitzvahs, and Hey-I-Finally-Left-That-Idiot-I-Was-Married-To parties here. I don't get it. This is the same basic, greasy Chinese food that you can get at fine takeout establishments with names like Tasty Wok and China Star. For some reason, not only does PF Chang's want to charge you twice the price for this food, but people are willing to pay for it. Everybody in the world loves PF Chang's but me. You people are fools. I'm going to Tasty Wok!

Marianne M.
We've been there a few times now. Good things: The chicken wraps are delicious! The service is always attentive. The food is good. The veggies are well cooked. They have been welcoming to my kids despite the fancy atmosphere. Desserts are delicious. Bad things: Portions are pretty small for the price. The servers can occasionally be TOO attentive (3 different people checking on us within 5 minutes is a bit much). For some reason this last time they brought out the desserts with half-melted ice cream.

Marci M.
I fundamentally have a hard time paying these prices for Chinese food. But PF Chang's does have good service and delicious food. I enjoy the chicken lettuce wraps and the steamed dumplings as appetizers or a light meal. For dinner I usually have the honey crispy chicken with the brown rice. I love their brown rice, super tasty with a great texture! But for the price, I am just as happy at a number of local Chinese restaurants!

Kizzy S.
Omg! I have to start out by saying that the ahi app was superb! Not too much (although you can really never have too much ahi) and the sauce was oh so yummie goodness. As I am a big dipper (I'm short so I have Napoleon syndrome). I also endulged in some lettuce wraps that was absolutely perfect! I showed up around 11:15 and it wasn't busy at all which kind of made me a bit nervous cause I've never seen a P F changs not busy but it worked out beautifully. The server was attentive (I already forgot her name but she was a sweet pea) and around 12:15 it was slammed. I strongly suggest that you get there for an early lunch if you are in a hurry! Timing was perfect!

Marc G.
Yeah, It's Americanized Chinese, but there is nothing wrong with that as well, as long as you know that going in. The food is always prepared well. Never been disappointed here. And I think you definitely get value for what you get. The portions are large and can even be shared if you're not overly hungry. The decor sets a nice mood & if you're lucky enough to get a booth, you can sit more comfortably and have a nice conversation. Some may consider this upscale & this may be because of the decor & pricing, but I consider it more casual dining.

P.F. Chang's is consistent, and that's what I like about it (as well as the fact that it has some vegan and vegetarian options). I had the veggie lettuce wraps, and the consistency of the tofu is spectacular - very meaty and firm; nicely marinated. The veggie coconut curry was good as well, but the tofu was a bit mushy, so if you're sensitive with consistencies, keep that in mind. I came here with a big group (about 15), we made a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. The service was prompt, and very good. The waiters were knowledgeable (they knew that there was citrus in the veggie wrap marinade, which was good since a member of our party was allergic to citrus) and on the ball. We received our food very fast and they were great about keeping our drinks refilled.

I loved this place. Their fried dumplings are phenomenal. My mother also loved it - a real miracle, as she was so hard to please. We also enjoyed the sweet and sour soup, though be aware of just how much what your ordering will serve - we got a bowl (clearly meant to be shared) big enough for a family!

Lonna G.
Not a fan of PF Changs. The food should not be called Chinese food, because it is very American style and I couldn't taste any Chinese spices or anything of the sort. I had some sort of tempura and my friend had the scallops which she found to be undercooked and waayy to jiggly. My food was basically flavorless and I went back to give PF's one more shot, but let's just say that was my very last time.

Nathan B.
The food here is good. My advice would be if you want authentic chinese don't come here. If you don't know the difference or you thought this was authentic then your golden. Just know the Chinese don't mix sauces at the table, they don't deep fry beef to make it crispy and they don't make a lot of the dishes on the menu. Now as americanized Chinese food this place is awesome. Don't take my first few sentences and think I'm bashing I'm not. I've eaten here many times and it's good. I've eaten a good portion of the menu and never had anything I didn't like. I suggest getting hot tea to go with your meal it makes your digestion much easier. This they get right if you eat at hot food drink hot tea. It's logical and common in Asia. Winter Park is busy get here early or wait it out but on a Friday or Saturday night 1hr is common.

PF Changs is always a reliable choice for Chinese, no matter where you are. I've never had a bad meal at any Chang's location. The food is unique and tasty. The atmosphere is great. Only real downside at this location are the servers. Unfortunately they didn't keep up with the drinks and few other things.
(3)
Patricia R.
I've gone to this specific PF Chang's twice and their services have been good. The server the last time was good with maintaining the drinks coming, the used plates out of the way and making sure everything was good. Ordered the dumplings for appetizer and the combo Lo Mein for lunch. Very filling, with the lasting taste of garlic (which makes a tasty meal for me!) and not too harsh on my wallet. At another PF C, I had some plum wine and am totally in love with it. The flavor of this wine is the right mix of sweetness which doesn't overpower the drink.
(4)
Michael C.
Yeah, I think P.F. Chang's is a little over-hyped for what it is. Sure, the decor is "cool" making vegetable lo mein hip again with the darkened seating area, silk drapery, and lotus blossom murals, not to mention the GIANT stone statues out front. The service is what you would expect at a T.G.I. Friday's, jubilant college students masquerading personality for higher-check averages. It's good enough, not great by any standards. The food isn't much better than what you would get at a neon light wrapped, menu above the counter takeout joint. This thing is that this place is always packed, and the wait you would experience really isn't worth it.

I had the Kung-Po Chicken and was pleased with the entree. The brown rice was very large and tasty. I had plenty to take home since the entree was so large. The appetizers I ordered were very tasty and I would order them again on a subsequent visit. I had Chang's Chicken in Soothing Lettuce Wraps, and the Crab Wontons. The crab was very warm and slightly spicy. It was definitely a favorite.
(4)
Stephanie W.
I get very tired to chain restaurants because they really are SO boring, with the same "trying to to be cool" persona. But (and you probably knew this was coming), I LOVE P.F. Chang's! I think they do a great job with the menu - there is definitely something for everyone (and I should know, I'm a vegetarian). I always get the garlic noodles and Shanghai cucumbers - I am in heaven! The service when I have been was great but I'm sure not everyone is so good. Atmosphere is very pretty and nighttime-y; tables are cozy. Great spicy options!
(5)
R. Alexander S.
With so many other Chinese restaurants out there, P.F. Chang's brings something new to the mix. Then again, even though their food is tasty I don't really consider it to be Chinese. The food is decent but for the price I'd rather go to some hole in the wall Chinese take out restaurants and have something more like Chinese food than fusion cuisine.

Kevin F.
When PF Chang's get a dish right, it's amazing. Two of my favorite dishes are the Mongolian Beef and the Lamb with Mustard Sauce. However, when PF Chang's get a dish wrong watch out! I ordered a vegetarian based dish that had me hugging the toilet all through the night. Someone once told me that you can't vomit and shit at the same time and that night I proved that theory wrong.

Kung Pao Scallops...could it get any better than this? For a chain restaurant, PF Chang's is where it's at. The atmosphere is fantastic, and it's a good place to bring your mom to expand her palate. At least it's a good place to bring my mom for such purposes, anyway. Living in fear of spicy foods, she tried some of my Kung Pao Scallops and discovered that she liked them better than what she ordered (the Cantonese Scallops, which are good but much more bland). They let you choose between white or more healthy brown rice, and I love the little science experiment-like tray of Asian spices. And the little mini desserts are perfectly sized and perfectly priced. Oh PF Chang's, how I wish you were closer.

Sky C.
Delicious, higher quality food and courteous staff. I was surprised at how affordable some of the dishes at this place were, considering the somewhat upscale atmosphere. Our waiter brought us over an extra order of Lo Mein because someone else had ordered it and didn't want it! Free food is always a plus. :)

Devin L.
PF Changs is always a reliable choice for Chinese, no matter where you are. I've never had a bad meal at any Chang's location. The food is unique and tasty. The atmosphere isn't particularly authentic, it's more like Chinese food in a Cheesecake Factory setting but that can be a good thing. Only real downside is that it can be somewhat costly and I always feel like there should be more food on the plate for the price.
(4)
Michael B.
Okay, so the food was all great. We ordered from the lunch menu at 1 PM and I got dinner portion and was charged accordingly. Orange shrimp was good and I ate it all so I guess no complaints. Their deserts are solid... Really good! Street noodles are tasty but very scarce on meat. Overall good experience.

The most recent time I've visited P.F. Chang's was for a birthday lunch with my coworkers. I made reservations for about 20 of us for a weekday lunch. They were very accommodating with this and even called to confirm the reservation the day before. When we arrived we were seated within a few minutes of the first of group arriving. We had two servers to take our orders, bring out food, drink, etc. The birthday people also received complimentary dessert. The food options were great, I enjoyed my meal completely. Not one order of all of ours was wrong or missing or very off on timing of being served. That in itself is impressive. Our two waitresses were attentive and friendly the entire time and were engaged with our group as well. Definitely a place I would recommend for a large group as they handled it well.

Chef Bob A.
I have been to this restaurant many, many times and I don't recall ever being disappointed. This particular occasion was excellent. We were a little rushed to make it to a movie on time and the service was so great that we were actually able to see all the previous and trailers, which I LOVE! One of the things I love here is that they are so attentive to gluten free patrons. I found out this evening that they even have specific gluten free plates so that they wait staff can verify that the dish truly is gluten free before bringing it to the guest at the table... Pretty cool idea. I ordered the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, one of my favorites, and it was excellent, as usual. My lovely date ordered a gluten free vegetable dish and it was also excellent. I highly recommend a visit here for lunch or dinner and if you are able to I recommend either Ashley or Christian as your servers! Bon Appetit'

Good food, not too pricey, and great service... What else do you need? I came here the day after New Years and enjoyed Mongolian beef and Kung pao chicken over white and brown rice (split with a date). We each had cocktails as well and they were outstanding. If you enjoy PF Changs or moderately pricey Asian cuisine this place won't disappoint.

We have been there twice within the last two months and we just love it. I recently had the spicy chicken (amazing), and my husband always gets the Mongolian beef (also amazing). The edamame are AMAZING with the citrus salt. I will say, my only disappointment is with the PF Changs member royalty program. I have signed up for it and activated my account and on this last trip, they couldn't find me. I logged on to see that I have never received credit for my initial order (to go during lunch time) nor was this $80 dinner able to be found either. Of course, they let you know that three days later after I threw away the receipt. Oh well! The to go lunch section is always organized and we treat ourselves once a month at our office.

I ALWAYS hear people raving about this place. I went once back when they first opened and was extremely disappointed. But everyone has off days, and tastes change and that was a long time ago. Also we had a gift card, so I went again recently. I am still baffled. What is so great about this place???? It's packed, the food is mediocre at best... the lettuce wraps that everyone raves about: we got em, and I ate one, and I have nothing bad to say about them, but I have nothing great to say either. Literally every other table there that night ordered them and was scarfing them down like they've never seen food before. I even saw one guy with his kid ordering takeout but eating those first before they left. I just don't get it. At all. I feel like it's an inside joke I am not a part of. That or it's a joke on the many many people who love this place? Oh well.

The location is awesome. But the food isn't that great. I know its basic Chinese cuisines but if you're going to charge me make sure its good. The staff are friendly and very helpful in getting you seated or asking for more accommodations. I do think it is kind of dark in there so just a little light might help their servers out a bit. I will go back but only because I know they will do better.
Meh. Not offensively bad but also not that good. I found myself at PF for a relative's birthday lunch (I had other suggestions, but was down for whatever the birthday man wanted to do). First, the good. The server was very friendly and helpful and the location was clean and spacious. We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer and I was pretty impressed! The lettuce was crisp and the chicken was ground up and had a fabulous sauce! I wish I had ordered this as my entree! And now, the not so good. I instead ordered a chicken salad and a side of crab wontons. I actually laughed when the salad came out- it was that big! It had mango, which wasn't ripe unfortunately, and a bitter dressing. More importantly, the chicken was cut in strips that looked boiled. The dish would have been much more appetizing had they been grilled and a little browned. Instead they were limp and not very appealing. The crab wonton was not bad, but I was (maybe mistakenly) expecting more of a crab Rangoon and this did not have cheese. Without the cheese as a binding agent, the remaining half of crab would fall into the dipping sauce when I went for a second dip. I looked around and was not impressed by any of the entrees on the table.y boyfriend got the beef and broccoli dish, but it was overly salty. Next time I'm sticking to the chicken lettuce wraps!

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

We stopped in because we were starving and my wife knows she can get something for herself, being a vegan. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Didn't have to wait too long for anything. I got the Singapore Street Noodles which were good. Nothing mind-blowing, but good. Could maybe have used a bit more kick but that's just me. My wife got some kind of beef with veggies/rice dish, but substituted tofu for the beef. She loved it (she's easy to please) and took what she couldn't finish home for leftovers. We don't normally go to chains, but stopped in this time, and have no regrets. I just absolutely hate the decor for some reason. Hasn't been updated since it opened, and I've never liked it much.

Basically walk in to your local hole in the wall Chinese place, order some lo mein, take it to a fancy restaurant, plop it on a fancy plate and you have PF changs. Dont get me wrong the food is good. But no better then a hole in the wall place with 4 booths. I guess I expected better from the appearance of the exterior and the atmosphere on the inside. the lo mein was ok, my friends mongolian beef was really good. I wish I had gotten that. I personally like the egg drop soup at other small take out places better. The salad has a "interesting" dressing. The photos that are posted really make the food look great. I assume most of the ones I've seen were professional pics. great lighting and food is placed perfectly on plate. If your in the mood for chinese and passing this place its perfectly fine. but thats about it. You can put a lamborghini body kit on a honda civic, but its still a civic. btw the service was excellent. No name tag so i dont know his name. he introduced himself but I suffer from CRS. edit: Just saw shon r's 1 star review. He mentioned the noodles arent even prepared right, they're to mushy. I had the same problem. Like they were over cooked Edit: Yep this is definitely ordinary Chinese food. i forgot why i rarely eat chinese. This has the same effect on my bowels as taco bell.. the equivalent of a 2 alarm structure fire.... Everyone get the f*** out!!

I went there with my mom and dad, we ordered a bowl of hot&sour soup and the 2 cups out of the three were nasty and so is the silverware.. We told the waitress that we would like to get new ones. She brought new cups and silverware. The new silverware was also dirty. The main course came and we got the plates and happened again. The plates were nasty as well. We told her right away that we want new ones. We should have just left, but did not want to make a scene. She told us that it is the dishwasher's fault. She should have checked the plates that she gives to the guests I think but let's just blame the dishwasher. Happened 02/25/2015 1 pm

Great food but this location is terrible with takeout orders. They mess up our order every time, forgetting rice or giving us combination instead of plain chicken. Recommend as a dine-in only location.
(2)Stephanie W.
I haven't been here in years! My mom gave me a gift card for Christmas and I finally got around to using it. Even on a busy Friday night, we were able to get a table right away. I ordered the Mongolian beef and enjoyed it. It had a taste of being grilled beef. I also ordered hot tea for the table. We used to always get it at Chinese restaurants when I was growing up. It seems like places don't just bring it out anymore. Which is sad. Our service was slow and we didn't see our waiter very often. It will probably be a while before I come back again. Not memorable enough of an experience for me.
(3)Idalia D.
Had my sons birthday dinner tonight at PF Changs, I had the beef and broccoli which was a bit on the sweet side but good, my son had the crab fried rice which was spicy and my girlfriend had the Mongolian beef which was sweet but taste like BBQ. We did have the fried green beans which was also good I prefer the sauce from TGIF, the sauce that came with the green beans was too spicy. Our waiter was ok not so friendly, I did ask if they could sing happy birthday to my son which he said he couldn't sing but would give him a cake with a candle which was nice. Over all it was ok, they need to add more rice to your plate and be a little faster with brining out your food. I guess I was expecting more.

This is a very nice restauranat in a very nice shopping center. First, it seemed completely unorganized. We were seated promptly but it seemed that they had no idea who was going to serve us. Once that was worked out our drink order was taken and drinks promply delivered. We ordered the fried pork dumplings, hot and sour soup, orannge beef, and shrimp with candied walnuts. The dumplings were very tasty and well prepared, the hot n sour soup though tasty was luke warm which was highly disappointing. The orange beef and shrimp with candied walnuts was ok. Honestly this place does not desearve the prices it demands for either the quality of service or food offered. To me the chinese food hear is dressed up Panda Express which serves very similar items and similar in taste. I wil not be returning

What have they done to their dumplings? I am thinking by dropping some of the old items they have lost their way. It is sad to see the Corp changing things for cost savings yet the prices are raising, instead of being all about quality. Sometimes quality costs a Corp a bit more but certainly protects the brand. The leadership of this brand may be heading down a path "mostly traveled" unfortunately.

dear pf changs, when a person orders EXTRA broccoli (and pays for it), there should be more than 5 pieces of broccoli in a dish. and, having no dressing for a salad is super annoying. and, i have eaten shoe leather more tender than your calamari. i would tell any of this to a server...but this was all a take out order. so, i just get to be unsatisfied and ripped off feeling. **end rant**
(1)Jennifer K.
Wish I could do a 3 and a half. The food is good but it isn't worth almost $15 a dish. I understand it is family dining but thats excessive. I can get authentic asian food for half that price! I do enjoy their lettuce wraps but I don't think it's worth almost $10. Maybe drop some of their prices. Its nice for a special occasion but I wouldn't come here often.

Overall, this restaurant is amazing. I've had many celebrations here, including the day that I got my first prosthetic and was able to walk again after having lost my leg, which was celebrated here with a bunch of friends and family. My wife and I had our first Valentine's Day as a married couple here. We've also just come here for an everyday regular dinner on many occasions. The food is always fresh and delicious, the staff is courteous, refills are frequent, and prices are relatively low for the atmosphere. I've had an order come out wrong, and as soon as we brought it to the waitress's attention, a rush order was put in, and within minutes the proper food was on the table, plus the messed up order was boxed up and given to us to take with us as well, which we subsequently gave to a homeless man who was sitting nearby outside. And even though they had just made everything right, they ended up giving us free dessert as an apology. So I mean, customer service... They've got it.

Most people have experienced P.F. Changs by now so I'll be brief: Favorite drink: Key Lime Martini- get it for dessert! Favorite dish- Crispy honey chicken- I get the lunch portion and its served with soup beforehand and a side of brown or white rice Favorite appetizer- Crab Rangoon...no explanation needed for that i dont think.. Service at this location has always been pretty good. Not sure what it is with restaurants and stuck up hostesses but this location seems pretty on par with that sentiment. Wait staff has always been friendly and prompt so no complaints but nothing stand out to report. The order online process is AWESOME and they always have everything ready for me by the time I have requested. The only reason I don't go to P.F. Changs wayyyy more (since i work across the street and have to smell its yummy goodness allday everyday) is the amount of salt they put in their food. Please don't roll your eyes, I'm not a huge crazy health nut but holy cow i feel like I could drink an entire pool and still be thirsty after eating here. Don't even get me started with the nutrition facts on the sodium counts on 95% of their dishes. Lesson to take away from this: make visits as special treats but for the sake of your health don't make it a habit.

Went on a weekday for dinner, and didn't have a wait for a table. We were able to wait for a friend at the bar, and the bartender waited until our friend arrived to pour his drink and brought it to our table. Chicken lettuce wraps are always a must! Whenever I go to PF Changs, all of the appetizers look so good, but I always default to the lettuce wraps. The dinner for two is a GREAT deal: appetizer, soup, entree, and dessert! I got the hot and sour soup, SO good! I love all the veggies in it. The Kung pao shrimp was good but does have a kick for those who don't have the biggest toleranc for heat. And finally the peanut butter chocolate dessert was good, too!
(4)Becky F.
I went with group. The server started by forgetting my drink. next finally the hot and sour soup came but it tasted like old oily sour soy sauce. The color looked like my diet coke. by the way I had to beg for more refills. sent soup back to where ever they scrapped it from the bottom of sauce pan. yuck. finally after 30 minutes kung pao chicken came out. One white rice was cold and crunchy. The chicken tasted old and the sauce was out of same soup pot. The hot part I ordered was a few whole peppers thrown in at last minute. well I didn't hardly eat. frustrated I went to supermarket and got sushi to go yum. The rest of the pf Chang meal went into trash. run away from this nightmare.
(1)Shon R.
Bottom line - the quality here just seems to keep going down. While Chang's was never a place that I considered to be authentic, it was still good in a pinch for decent Chinese food. My last couple of visits will likely be my last, at here in Orlando, as the food was just not good at all. Every place should be able to hook up noodles or rice, but this Changs has failed at both. Again, I am not expecting to be blown away, but I have been to Changs in other cities that more than satisfied my cravings for Chinese. The noodles are what I can only describe as mushy and just not well prepared. The same with the rice on a few occasions. Add to that the fairly high prices for what you get and skipping out on this place becomes an easy choice.
(1)Sharon G.
We ordered 39.95 meal for 2 I ordered spicy chicken and Almond chicken. We ordered the lettuce wraps appetizers, and wanton soup, which is as mentioned prior review to be excellent and fresh. My husband enjoyed Almond and Cashew chicken and I really enjoyed my spicy chicken (mild chili powder) and it excellent spice. Ordered chocolate cake with raspberry sauce for dessert. Oh my decadence(super delicious)! Great food for any event or a nice evening out with family or friends!
(4)Moray W.
Best restaurant for lettuce wraps! Other restaurants offer them on their menus but can't compete! Your waiter offers to mix the dipping sauce claiming he has the "secret" to the best recipe, but of course it is just part of shtick----you can mix your own.The problem with this location is the noise due to large crowds and poor acoustics. Better to go on an off hour when service is better and noise level is not a factor.
(3)Johanna C.
Food is great, to long of a wait, but it was worth it. The waitress forgot my drink order but quickly recover her tip when it was replace with a Margarita. The chocolate cake with raspberry its gross to much chocolate for my tasting, there dessert are usually delicious.. Won't.order that ever again.. But overall was a.great night.
(4)Ashley H.
Meh. That's the feeling I have after eating at PF Chang's tonight. I've been to the chain before, but the lack of quality service left me with a bad taste in my mouth on this visit. We called ahead for seating and to our surprise were seated immediately upon our arrival. Little did we know that would be the least amount of time we would wait all night. We ordered the PF Chang's for two, which is an awesome opportunity to get four courses for $39.99. Each person gets a soup (choose from hot and sour soup or egg drop), you share an appetizer (choose from a list), you choose two entrees, and you also get a dessert. A great deal! We ordered pretty quickly, but it took a very long time to get our soup. As in, a ridiculously long time. I saw people who had arrived after we did eating appetizers, but we were still waiting for our first course. Our soup and appetizer arrived around the same time, which was fine with us. But I had a bad feeling that our entrees would arrive before we really had a chance to finish those. I even mentioned it to my boyfriend. Sure enough, it happened. We had to politely ask them to wait and bring the entrees back in a few minutes. When they did, my chicken wasn't very hot at all. I also didn't receive the brown rice I asked for. I understand that Saturday night is a busy night, but we were basically ignored and our service was below average. I was really disappointed. The food quality was decent, and better than a lot of the Chinese food in the area, but it would have been a lot better had we been served properly.
(2)Sarah B.
I visited last evening for the first time. My experience was wonderful. Excellent service and great food!
(4)Adelle P.
We ate on the patio and the tables were filthy. The wait staff made no move to clean the table. Fortunately, I carry wipes and cleaned the table myself! The upside was that the food was good. But I keep wondering how clean the kitchen is...
(3)The Vegan Geeks K.
So you decide you want Chinese food, but want something more upscale? Higher quality food maybe? Better service? Just better food? You most likely will not get what you want from P.F. Chang's. 2/5 The Service: My wife and I used to go to Chang's all the time simply because we both worked in Winter Park, didn't have terribly long lunch breaks, or were getting out of work late and had to grab something before heading home. The service here is almost as inconsistent as the food. I would say that 3/10 of the times we went here we had a spectacular waiter or waitress. There was that 30% that did everything in their power to make sure we had the best lunch or dinner. Who made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Too bad it was not more often. Many times we had waitstaff who would literally just drop the plate of food on the table and turn around and walk away. During any sort of restaurant rush hour, Chang's is snail slow with food serving and although you can see waitstaff rushing around, it is often empty handed. Just an example, we once had a reservation at 6:00 pm, and our party of 4 did not leave until 8:30 and not by lack of trying to leave. 4/5 The Atmosphere: I shall give corporate HQ for Chang's a round of applause here. The restaurant is beautiful. Not necessarily perfectly accurate to actual China, but beautiful nonetheless. I dropped a star because there we many a times when there was food on the floors near tables or inside the booths. Sometimes a few crumbs are acceptable, especially during a dinner rush situation, I am understanding, but when we were sometime 1/3 tables in the entire place, I felt that it was just poor cleaning at that point. 0/5... no -3/5 The Food: So, is the food disgusting? Honestly, no. It is quite salty though. It is average for the most part and good at best. But Chang's has the least consistent kitchen ever and boy do I mean ever! My wife and I are vegan so we have very particular orders, and although people may believe it's hard being a vegan, I shall inform everyone that cooking vegan is very easy. It is just vegetables, nuts, rice, sauce without meat. We are talking about LESS ingredients here so I do not understand why it was so hard to order something without meat and bam! It comes to the table with meat right in it. So I would say that 90% of this is the kitchen's fault, but this goes back to service, shouldn't the waiter that I pleaded with to make sure no meat in the dish realize that the kitchen screwed up before bringing us the plates? And I am not talking about a rare, random occurrence. No, I mean statistically more often than not, one or both of our meals would be terribly wrong to the point where we had to send it back. Now, for those of you who are not vegan and still thinking this does not apply to you, there are many reviews about how they ordered something remotely special like extra meat or broccoli that was messed up. Chang's corporate has tried contacting me so many times to try and rectify the issue. And honestly, we kept going back because they kept giving us large vouchers. It was like an abusive relationship, we just kept going back knowing how bad it was. But after the 15th or 20th time they sent us meat, and charged us for meat, when we just wanted some darn veggies with noodles... we gave up trying. I shall say though, I sometimes miss their veggie lettuce wraps, those are awesome, but still not worth the hassle.
(1)Eileen D.
Go to the Millenia location if you can. This P.F. Chang's has a very long wait, bad service and horrible management. The food has come out lukewarm or cold multiple times and generally the employees are flat out rude and act like they have better things to be doing.
(2)Jeff K.
Look, P.F. Chang's has never claimed to be authentic Chinese cuisine. There are a lot of reviews here docking stars because it's not "authentic" (though I imagine 90% of those people don't realize that they have never had authentic Chinese food and would likely not care for it if they did). Don't penalize a restaurant for not being something that it never claimed to be! What you do get here is a number of dishes inspired by, but not necessarily intended to replicate, Americanized Chinese food. For example, while the Kung Pao Chicken might have a basic thread of similarity to the Kung Pao Chicken you'd get as takeout at the corner China Jade Panda Wok Garden, you'll find that it is its own creation, unique from others you have tasted elsewhere. My most recent visit was my first in quite some time, despite occasional cravings. We ordered the fixed price meal for 2, which included two soups, an appetizer, two entrées, and two desserts for $40. I selected the hot & sour soup, which was a bit thicker and not quite as hot as I'm accustomed to, but the flavor was quite good. The appetizer we shared was the calamari, which was an excellent portion size and was accompanied by a dipping sauce that I'd probably bathe in if given the opportunity. We selected the Kung Pao Shrimp and the Mongolian Beef as our entrées, which were served on large plates intended for sharing, alongside two bowls of rice (brown or white). Both of these dishes are intensely flavorful to the point that it might actually take you by surprise, even though the presented dishes are not heavily sauced at all. The Kung Pao dishes include the meat mixed in with roasted peanuts and chilis, and the Mongolian Beef was paired with fresh scallion. It's a lot of food, and I doubt we'd do the fixed price menu again since we were overstuffed by the time we were done. But the food was great, and the service was friendly and extremely quick to bring refills and clear dishes.
(4)Frank L.
Believe it or not this was my first time to a PF Changs..yes shocker. I typically try to avoid chains, especially chines, but a friend of mine really wanted to go. I asked the server his recommendations, and he said the Chang's Spicy Chicken, and Lettuce wraps. I requested that my spicy chicken be "extra spicy"....um lets just say it was pretty mild. So of course I had to spice it up myself, not bad, but that always adds a different flavor. I did really enjoy the lettuce wraps, and the option to get brown rice. I'm sure I will revisit one day, but just not on my top 10 list.
(3)Kristen P.
Wow we had amazing service here last night. There was 10 of us for a birthday dinner. The waitress came by and asked if we would mind moving our table about a foot, so they could sit a table behind us. It wasn't a big deal to us so we just scooted the table a bit. There was about 5 waiters there to do it for us and they were shocked that we did it ourselves. The manager came by about 5 minutes later and gave us two free appetizers. One of my friends is allergic to shell fish. He ordered the fried rice, which unknowingly to him, had shrimp in it. He ran out to his car and got an epi-pen. He is totally fine. But while he was gone, the waitress and the manager stopped by at least twice to make sure he was good. As soon as he got back to the restaurant, they made sure he was fine and brought him out some new food. They comped his meal and gave him a $50 gift certificate. The only critique I can say is that it was a little complicated dividing up the check. It took them a little while to get the checks out. I think there was some confusion on their end as to who ordered what. I enjoy the food at PF Chang's. I always get Chang's Spicy Chicken. It's great every time. I mainly wanted to highlight the exceptional service we had. It was unexpected.
(4)Colleen B.
Pretty yummy! On this particular visit I was still fighting a cold so I just wanted soup - wonton to be exact - and boy, did I get soup! My girlfriend and I just wanted to catch up over lunch and sat back and relaxed before our crazy New Years celebration coming that evening. Our server was great, very attentive. I have always come to PF Changs for dinner or a big meal, never really crossed my mind for lunch but glad I experienced it. I am on this kick of requesting cucumber in my water and each place that can accommodate does it differently. Here they delivered my water with a small plate of cucumbers, that was a nice touch. I ordered the WonTon soup and it was a huge portion. It came out in a really nice huge serving bowl with a small bowl to eat from. The dumplings were sparse in number but NOT quality. The size of them were huge. (that's what she said) They were fresh and delightful too. I had to take the rest of the soup home and was excited to have it for my dinner that evening. They also had huge crunchy noodles which was a huge plus and are definitely my favorite touch!! I agree that P.F. Chang's is a little over-hyped as Michael C pointed out but it's also a nice treat every once in a while, def one of the better chains diluting this world.
(3)Liz D.
The service is not good. Me and my friend went there because I've heard it is a really good place to go but I deifinitely won't go again. The table and chairs were dirty, the floor was dirty and nobody was taking care of that. They were slow and I was really craving a Chino Latino pork, after 20 minutes they told us that they were out of it and I had to choose Kung Pao Chicken, not impressed at all. For the prices they have, it's not worth it.
(1)Maxine R.
The food was fantastic and the portions were generous, however our experience was made truly exceptional by the wonderful service. We came here Sunday night and ordered enough food to feed a small village, we asked that the dumplings come out first as an appetizer. A few minutes later our server, Patrick, came and apologized for the wait (we hadn't even noticed) and said something was wrong with the steamer so it would be a little while longer, but he put the rest of the order through so we wouldn't be waiting. Our food came out shortly after along with an extra dish on the house and the manager with a second apology. When our dumplings came we were told that they'd be taken off the bill. Everyone was so polite, and attentive without being suffocating. They went above and beyond to try an make sure we had the best experience in spite of the steamer issue. It really made us feel like our experience mattered to them.
(5)Steven K.
Not my first visit but first review. Food was really good! I was surprised. I think perhaps they have updated their menu. I had the Asian grilled salmon. Party of about 12, no complaints on food. Service was another issue. Horrible. Waited 30 minutes for,drinks then another 15 to order apps then another 15 to order dinner. Dinners all come with a side of rice, and no one ever received any rice.
(3)Natalie V.
I'm addicted to the Kung pao scallops. Lettuce wraps are another favorite. Service has always been impeccable and they make take out convenient incuding a system where when your phone call comes in the see on computer what your last order was and ask if that's what u want. Also there are assigned parking spaces for take out. This food is so much better than traditional Chinese good which has msg and is too greasy,
(5)Ashley J.
If you want good, overpriced, Chinese food you've come to the right place. The food is good, it really is. But it's definitely on the pricier side for Chinese food. (Lunch is fairly priced though!) The (vegetarian) lettuce wrap is super good as well as their version of calamari. It's different, but very enjoyable if you like a little spicy. My personal favorite dish is either the Shrimp Fried Rice or the Crispy Honey Shrimp. PFC is also very gluten-free friendly so if you Celiac disease you will you have lots of options; just ask for their gluten-free menu! In general, the waiters are pretty attractive too, which doesn't hurt. I enjoy PFC so I know I'll be back.
(4)Joy J.
I believe this is my 2-3 experience eating here and by far this is NOT authentic chinese. Go to Tasty Wok if you want the authentic and not so ambiency eats. Of course ambience is nice and the lettuce wraps and mixed drinks are HITS here .. however - TOO AMERICANIZED for my palate. Not only that portions and price is Blah... BTW they are affiliated with PEI WEI -- and ive heard mediocre to poor reviews with them as well!
(2)Nilda B.
It was raining, we've been postponing our 25th Anniversary because of health issues and it now rains... so I asked my husband, if he still wanted go, he said LET"S GO! I called for LAST MINUTE reservations on a Sunday, about 5PM, for 5:45PM reservations and just briefly mentioned it was our 25th Anniversary. So we arrived a little early and they sat us pretty fast, though it looked very busy! We didn't realize yet the menu had a 4 course entry for 2 ppl at $39.99 so we ordered apptezier Mahi Mahi tacos (we were early so they had 3 for 3 which means from 3pm-6pm, they had $3 drinks and appetizers to choose from) that said, when the app arrived I was disappointed with 2 small tacos, 2 pinky size strips of Mahi Mahi in each, with NOTHING else in them... they really lost themselves inside the small tortilla flour flavor! Ok, I splurged on Plum Wine and shared it a little with my husband, after all we are celebrating, right?! I thought it was excellent... we finally decided on the 4 course dinner for two, chose the crab ragoons as appetizers! (See pics) They were delicious, I've tried these at other places and this must be the very best I ever had, the waiter explained they it was fresh crab and with some sort of ginger dip, it was just very good! Then he continued to explain that for Soup (egg drop or sweet and sour) we preferred the Won Ton and that will be a little extra because it came in a BIG casserole (see in pic posted), to share... he wasn't kidding and it was definitely, worth paying a little extra for... also NEVER had Won Ton like this! It had even SHRIMP in it and some veggies, that was also made FRESH! Here's where the surprise starts to come in, the waiter brings me a vase with fresh roses and lilies, wishing us a Happy Anniversary, a card, all signed by them and 2 champagne flukes with strawberries in them! (See pics) REALLY unexpected, I was debating if to ask, if it was to take home or if it was to decorate the table for our occasion? I finally asked, feeling bad, if I were to leave them and show ungratefulness or if I left with them and they'd look at me, if I'd be stealing! LOL Anyways back to an awesome dinner, my husband chose the Mongolian beef, which was very tender and I chose the broccoli w chicken that was also very tasty... they brought 3 different dipping sauces and we chose brown rice vs the white. It all ended with mini deserts, I had the Tiramisu shot glass was DELICIOUS and my husband had the cheesecake, it wasn't as good as the Tiramisu! The service was excellent, the waiter kept coming by asking, if we needed anything or how we liked the food... everything came out on a timely manner. I didn't give it a 5 star only because of the Mahi Mahi tacos and mini cheesecake but overall experience was very satisfactory! We had left overs and the EXTRA mile of attention, to such short notice of our Anniversary, was just over the TOP! I had to just come here to post how an awesome experience we had and how thankful I am, to PF's contribution of making our 25th Anniversary, a very special one! And I usually don't take pics of ourselves, for the obvious reasons... but I let the waiter get away with it, this time (must of been the mixed drinks)! lol
(4)Melly M.
What a rip-off. Fake Chinese food, taste bad too.. Non-flavored steamed veggies for like 10 dollars? what the heck. Want some good Americanized Chinese food? Try Kim Wu on Kirkman road. Dare to try real Chinese food? Lam Garden on colonial drive. Stay away from PF CHang, Pei-wei, Panda express..yuck and unhealthy.
(1)Lisa W.
This is a great P.F. Chang's location. While parking can be tight in the Winter Park village, your frustration ends at the parking lot. The large dining space offers plenty of dining room for singles, couples or larger groups. This location is always bustling, so expect a bit of a wait during prime dining hours. I've dined here and ordered take out from here regularly since it opened. I've never had a bad meal here, but this is "Americanized" Chinese food. It's a chain, and this is a nice location of the chain. If you are here for lunch, check out their lunch specials next to the apps on the menu, which offer some discounted options. Service is great and you can be in and out of here quickly- if you need to be. If you've got time to dine at lunch or dinner, you can linger without feeling like you need to scoot out of your booth. Service is always very accommodating, if you want some veggies added to the honey shrimp, they can do that. If you hate broccoli, let them know and they'll sub it out for what you want. They have vegetarian and gluten free options clearly marked on the menu. All nutritional info and ingredient info is available. Apps are yummy, with lots of options. Iced tea is tasty, though different that Pei Wei's (which rocks!). Brown rice is offered and if you are splitting an entree, you each get a bowl of rice, which is nice. Take out orders are always packaged well and still warm when I get the order home. The orders are organized well, you check out at the bar and are on your way. There are a few designated take out parking spots, but sometimes people park there...as in, for their dine in dinner. Don't be one of those people. Please. Read about the new Happy Hours while I was dining, offered from 3-6pm daily, looks fun! Will be back to check out Happy Hour at some point soon.
(4)Ed V.
Horrible service! Maybe because it was mother's day and it was busy, but it was still unacceptable. First, they brought out only 2 out of 6 dishes. The other 4 took another 45 minutes. Then the waiter had the nerve to insinuate it was our fault because we took 10 minutes to order. Finally we ordered coffee, and that alone took another 20 minutes. Meanwhile people that got there 20 minutes after us had come and gone. The food also sucked. It was cold and greasy. Anyway, that's the last time I ever go to this place.
(1)LaToya B.
Had a great dining experience. The food, service, and drinks were all awesome. They have a great happy hour.
(4)Brian F.
Reservation process, main entrees and atmosphere are good. The dirty silverware, coke machine not working probably, starters coming out with the main course, waitress making excuses, and dirty changing table were bad. I won't go here again for a long time.
(2)Kevin D.
I went for Happy Hour (3 til ?), sat at the bar ( only one other customer but it was early, 3:15) and James was very nice, pleasant, and attentive. Drinks were reasonable. I paid $3 for a Tsindao beer, $3 for decent eggrolls , and $4 for Pork Dumplings (good). I interacted with several other employees including the food runner, very friendly, and a beautiful server. All were very nice. Over all I enjoyed it.
(4)Gaby S.
I'm not sure why people are hating on P.F. Unfortunately, Orlando doesn't offer a decent selection of chinese food, so P.F. is as good as it gets. Is not like they serve horrible food? They serve flavorful chinese food and they have a great variety of vegetarian dishes. They can also accommodate your meal to healthier means. I usually order my sauce on the side or I ask them to place half of my meal on a to-go container. So, until I find a better chinese food restaurant..P.F. is my choice.
(4)M. B.
What a delicious lunch!!! Enjoyed the $39.95 prixe fixe menu, everything was perfect and flavorful. Our server, Kevin was fantastic, very personable, and knew what we wanted before we knew what we wanted!
(5)Janene H.
P.F. Chang's gets a lot of flack for being Americanized Chinese but let me tell you, I've been to China and a little Americanizing is fine by me! They must be doing something right in appealing to the masses because they are always packed. If you want authentic Chinese then head up the street for some squid or scorpion on a stick (actually saw it in Shanghai). Yes, I know, those restaurants also have some very delicious dishes as well! I like the food and ambiance. The lettuce wraps are an awesome start and I always order the same entree, Crispy Honey Shrimp with extra sauce on the side. I like the fact that they have brown rice but they never bring out enough. They'll bring you more but you have to ask. Why are they so stingy with rice? It's rice! I usually give Chang's 4 stars but at this particular location on this visit I'm deducting a star for lousy service. Our food took FOREVER, even our app look a long time coming out and the restaurant was empty. Entrees, check and even my birthday dessert took way too long. Maybe it was the kitchen but I have a feeling it was our server, she just seemed out of it. They have a Happy Hour menu from 3pm-6pm with prices ranging from $3-$6 for select drinks and apps.
(3)Joel R.
Enjoyed the meal. First visit here. Tried the four course for two. Food quality and portions were good except for the desert. The desert should just be extra. The portion was too small to enjoy. I especially enjoyed the steamed ginger salmon.
(3)S H.
Just had lunch here with my boyfriend yesterday. We have visited on MANY other occasions without any problem. This last experience however, was terrible. Our food was good but our server "Dana" was AWFUL. She barely smiled, cut her eyes at us several times, and even gave our credit card and check to another guest without apologizing after the mistake was discovered. She didn't seem happy to be serving us or working there, and should probably find another job. Very unpleasant experience for us.
(1)Boo P.
Love the gluten free lunch and dinner menu! Yum! Try the beef and broccoli with fried rice and egg drop soup lunch combo.
(4)Heather M.
Great food, great atmosphere, great wait staff, great prices. This location has it all! My boyfriend and I have gone here the past couple of times I have gone up to visit him in Orlando. We ALWAYS get the Lettuce Wraps! They are my FAVORITE thing there. And then we usually share the chicken fried rice. It is so good and we usually still have left overs afterwards! It literally is so much food for a GREAT price, usually we will spend about $30 for a dinner for the two of us, but there we only spend $20 tops! The last time we went to this restaurant we had decided to each order a cup of soup along with what we usually get. I got the egg drop and he got the hot and sour soup. To our surprise, there soups tasted nothing like we expected, we did not like them at all. However we didn't complain we just pushed them off to the side. When we were done eating the waitress noticed that we hadn't really touched the soups, she asked us why and we told her that we just didn't like them that much. When she came back with our bill, much to our surprise she told us she took the soups off of our bill and told the manager and apologized for it. We thanked her immensely and after that even the manger came by to apologize. We were so taken aback by there generosity and just how polite they were. We made sure to tip our waitress very well before we left too! I was very happy we chose to go there and I plan on going back! If you dine there ask for Kasey as your waitress!
(5)Donald G.
Still one of my favorites. You can always count on great food and service. My staple is mongolian beef and hot and sour soup. Mmmmmmm!
(4)Casey H.
Most of the time I'm usually impressed. Certainly the sweet and soar soup is a must have. Salt and Pepper prawns are my typical mean at the place but today they were not cooked well. Disappointed in the butter soaked shrimp. We had 4 appetizers and everyone of them were good. Hot tea was a nice complement today given how cold it was. Good service!

Haters are going to hate, so what can you do? PF Changs makes good food and while the prices are higher than normal for most dishes you can find coupons to reduce the costs making the experience better. My favorite dish is the Mongolia Beef and their spring rolls, hot and sour soup and lettuce wraps are all favorites too. The one big downside is that rush hours will leave you waiting for a table. Luckily if you are a small group or single you can sit at the bar to get your meal.

Try the new menu items. The pad thai is VERY good.

They've gone fast-food folks! Its all precooked then slightly (and I do mean) slightly warmed for table service. Six of us and not a one of us had a properly heated meal: from ordering time to on our table was under five and a half (best guess) minutes. And most of the comments from surrounding tables were "very very bland and, food is not the proper temp"....that was coming from exiting-guest from couple tables in front of us. Might as well go to community take out.

Color me crazy I really enjoy this place. I like Americanized chinese food in a great atmosphere with excellent service and consistency. It is great fun to come with a group and split some appetizers and eat the entrees family style. I always have a good time here. I also think the food is better than many authentic chinese places, which is sad that they have such low standards.

A reliable Gluten Free menu with several delicious options to chose from. Love this chain! (Mongolian Beef, perfection)

You know... PF Chang's is Americanized, overpriced Chinese food, but for what it is, it's A-OK. I have to commend them on offering a large Gluten-Free menu and that the items we tried were very tasty. The steamed salmon with ginger was delicious, however, $19.00 for a portion of salmon seemed very steep. They also have a delicious GF chocolate dome. It was a combo between a flourlesss chocolate cake and mousse texture. Totally delicious and beautifully presented on the plate with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. This is not my go-to restaurant, but it's a decent, albeit expensive meal.

WE went there for happy hour/breakfast (my first meal of the day) and it was an incredible deal as well as great food and service. The vegetable lettuce wraps along with the fried green bean thingers make a great veggie dinner. It's a staple that I had forgot about but will definitely revisit soon.

I've been to PF Changs several times, however this particular visit was specifically to try out the happy hour menu. Everyday from 3pm-6pm (at participating locations...I was in Winter Park) they have a $3-$6 menu. Import drafts (Blue Moon and Kirin) are $2, select wine and mixed drinks anywhere from $4-$6. The server was incredibly friendly and helpful with our selections. She was also the bartender so she described the drinks in detail (wish I could remember her name). We ordered the Pork and Rice Siu Mai (soooo yummy, we ordered a second round), the Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps which are always a delight, and the tuna tar tar. We were pretty stuffed for only spending $28. If you like trying a variety of appetizers Happy Hour menu is where it's at.

I'm very skeptical about Chinese food. It's, by far, one of my least favorite dishes. However, P.F. Chang's has some nice dishes that are great and really stand out for a chain restaurant. This location has really great staff and I am happy to dine here whenever anyone I'm with has an inkling for Chinese food.

Crazy packed at night but Chicken Lettuce Wraps are insanely awesome!
(4)Cristina C.
For some odd reason, everybody and their mother wants to celebrate birthdays, engagements, bah mitzvahs, and Hey-I-Finally-Left-That-Idiot-I-Was-Married-To parties here. I don't get it. This is the same basic, greasy Chinese food that you can get at fine takeout establishments with names like Tasty Wok and China Star. For some reason, not only does PF Chang's want to charge you twice the price for this food, but people are willing to pay for it. Everybody in the world loves PF Chang's but me. You people are fools. I'm going to Tasty Wok!
(2)Marianne M.
We've been there a few times now. Good things: The chicken wraps are delicious! The service is always attentive. The food is good. The veggies are well cooked. They have been welcoming to my kids despite the fancy atmosphere. Desserts are delicious. Bad things: Portions are pretty small for the price. The servers can occasionally be TOO attentive (3 different people checking on us within 5 minutes is a bit much). For some reason this last time they brought out the desserts with half-melted ice cream.
(3)Marci M.
I fundamentally have a hard time paying these prices for Chinese food. But PF Chang's does have good service and delicious food. I enjoy the chicken lettuce wraps and the steamed dumplings as appetizers or a light meal. For dinner I usually have the honey crispy chicken with the brown rice. I love their brown rice, super tasty with a great texture! But for the price, I am just as happy at a number of local Chinese restaurants!
(3)Kizzy S.
Omg! I have to start out by saying that the ahi app was superb! Not too much (although you can really never have too much ahi) and the sauce was oh so yummie goodness. As I am a big dipper (I'm short so I have Napoleon syndrome). I also endulged in some lettuce wraps that was absolutely perfect! I showed up around 11:15 and it wasn't busy at all which kind of made me a bit nervous cause I've never seen a P F changs not busy but it worked out beautifully. The server was attentive (I already forgot her name but she was a sweet pea) and around 12:15 it was slammed. I strongly suggest that you get there for an early lunch if you are in a hurry! Timing was perfect!
(4)Marc G.
Yeah, It's Americanized Chinese, but there is nothing wrong with that as well, as long as you know that going in. The food is always prepared well. Never been disappointed here. And I think you definitely get value for what you get. The portions are large and can even be shared if you're not overly hungry. The decor sets a nice mood & if you're lucky enough to get a booth, you can sit more comfortably and have a nice conversation. Some may consider this upscale & this may be because of the decor & pricing, but I consider it more casual dining.
(4)Elizabeth S.
P.F. Chang's is consistent, and that's what I like about it (as well as the fact that it has some vegan and vegetarian options). I had the veggie lettuce wraps, and the consistency of the tofu is spectacular - very meaty and firm; nicely marinated. The veggie coconut curry was good as well, but the tofu was a bit mushy, so if you're sensitive with consistencies, keep that in mind. I came here with a big group (about 15), we made a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. The service was prompt, and very good. The waiters were knowledgeable (they knew that there was citrus in the veggie wrap marinade, which was good since a member of our party was allergic to citrus) and on the ball. We received our food very fast and they were great about keeping our drinks refilled.
(4)JW U.
Believe it or not it's the best chinese food in central Florida. Ain't saying much but just saying.
(3)Connie D.
I loved this place. Their fried dumplings are phenomenal. My mother also loved it - a real miracle, as she was so hard to please. We also enjoyed the sweet and sour soup, though be aware of just how much what your ordering will serve - we got a bowl (clearly meant to be shared) big enough for a family!
(4)Clayton C.
Good variety of American-Chinese Bistro plates at a reasonable price.
(4)Matthew J.
Wow a party of 35 and we had the best waitress ever! Daniel (lady) rocked! She handled our party like a true professional. Great times!
(5)Diane B.
LOVE PF Chang's. Great food. Great service. Great wine. Love it.
(5)Lonna G.
Not a fan of PF Changs. The food should not be called Chinese food, because it is very American style and I couldn't taste any Chinese spices or anything of the sort. I had some sort of tempura and my friend had the scallops which she found to be undercooked and waayy to jiggly. My food was basically flavorless and I went back to give PF's one more shot, but let's just say that was my very last time.
(2)Nathan B.
The food here is good. My advice would be if you want authentic chinese don't come here. If you don't know the difference or you thought this was authentic then your golden. Just know the Chinese don't mix sauces at the table, they don't deep fry beef to make it crispy and they don't make a lot of the dishes on the menu. Now as americanized Chinese food this place is awesome. Don't take my first few sentences and think I'm bashing I'm not. I've eaten here many times and it's good. I've eaten a good portion of the menu and never had anything I didn't like. I suggest getting hot tea to go with your meal it makes your digestion much easier. This they get right if you eat at hot food drink hot tea. It's logical and common in Asia. Winter Park is busy get here early or wait it out but on a Friday or Saturday night 1hr is common.
(4)Tom G.
Not sure why anyone likes PF Changs. I've never enjoyed a meal here. The wait is always long. The tables are small and crowded. Staff is fine, but not great.
(1)Albert P.
PF Changs is always a reliable choice for Chinese, no matter where you are. I've never had a bad meal at any Chang's location. The food is unique and tasty. The atmosphere is great. Only real downside at this location are the servers. Unfortunately they didn't keep up with the drinks and few other things.
(3)Patricia R.
I've gone to this specific PF Chang's twice and their services have been good. The server the last time was good with maintaining the drinks coming, the used plates out of the way and making sure everything was good. Ordered the dumplings for appetizer and the combo Lo Mein for lunch. Very filling, with the lasting taste of garlic (which makes a tasty meal for me!) and not too harsh on my wallet. At another PF C, I had some plum wine and am totally in love with it. The flavor of this wine is the right mix of sweetness which doesn't overpower the drink.
(4)Michael C.
Yeah, I think P.F. Chang's is a little over-hyped for what it is. Sure, the decor is "cool" making vegetable lo mein hip again with the darkened seating area, silk drapery, and lotus blossom murals, not to mention the GIANT stone statues out front. The service is what you would expect at a T.G.I. Friday's, jubilant college students masquerading personality for higher-check averages. It's good enough, not great by any standards. The food isn't much better than what you would get at a neon light wrapped, menu above the counter takeout joint. This thing is that this place is always packed, and the wait you would experience really isn't worth it.
(4)Rico R.
I love PF Change....
(4)Jennifer H.
I had the Kung-Po Chicken and was pleased with the entree. The brown rice was very large and tasty. I had plenty to take home since the entree was so large. The appetizers I ordered were very tasty and I would order them again on a subsequent visit. I had Chang's Chicken in Soothing Lettuce Wraps, and the Crab Wontons. The crab was very warm and slightly spicy. It was definitely a favorite.
(4)Stephanie W.
I get very tired to chain restaurants because they really are SO boring, with the same "trying to to be cool" persona. But (and you probably knew this was coming), I LOVE P.F. Chang's! I think they do a great job with the menu - there is definitely something for everyone (and I should know, I'm a vegetarian). I always get the garlic noodles and Shanghai cucumbers - I am in heaven! The service when I have been was great but I'm sure not everyone is so good. Atmosphere is very pretty and nighttime-y; tables are cozy. Great spicy options!
(5)R. Alexander S.
With so many other Chinese restaurants out there, P.F. Chang's brings something new to the mix. Then again, even though their food is tasty I don't really consider it to be Chinese. The food is decent but for the price I'd rather go to some hole in the wall Chinese take out restaurants and have something more like Chinese food than fusion cuisine.
(3)Kevin F.
When PF Chang's get a dish right, it's amazing. Two of my favorite dishes are the Mongolian Beef and the Lamb with Mustard Sauce. However, when PF Chang's get a dish wrong watch out! I ordered a vegetarian based dish that had me hugging the toilet all through the night. Someone once told me that you can't vomit and shit at the same time and that night I proved that theory wrong.
(3)Tom A.
Great place and good food and plenty to fill u up.
(4)Brian W.
all that can be said about pf changes already has been said. but let me add their having substantial gluten free menu earns big street cred.
(4)Ben B.
well, its no panda express, but...
(3)Elizabeth S.
Kung Pao Scallops...could it get any better than this? For a chain restaurant, PF Chang's is where it's at. The atmosphere is fantastic, and it's a good place to bring your mom to expand her palate. At least it's a good place to bring my mom for such purposes, anyway. Living in fear of spicy foods, she tried some of my Kung Pao Scallops and discovered that she liked them better than what she ordered (the Cantonese Scallops, which are good but much more bland). They let you choose between white or more healthy brown rice, and I love the little science experiment-like tray of Asian spices. And the little mini desserts are perfectly sized and perfectly priced. Oh PF Chang's, how I wish you were closer.
(5)Sky C.
Delicious, higher quality food and courteous staff. I was surprised at how affordable some of the dishes at this place were, considering the somewhat upscale atmosphere. Our waiter brought us over an extra order of Lo Mein because someone else had ordered it and didn't want it! Free food is always a plus. :)
(4)Devin L.
PF Changs is always a reliable choice for Chinese, no matter where you are. I've never had a bad meal at any Chang's location. The food is unique and tasty. The atmosphere isn't particularly authentic, it's more like Chinese food in a Cheesecake Factory setting but that can be a good thing. Only real downside is that it can be somewhat costly and I always feel like there should be more food on the plate for the price.
(4)Michael B.
Okay, so the food was all great. We ordered from the lunch menu at 1 PM and I got dinner portion and was charged accordingly. Orange shrimp was good and I ate it all so I guess no complaints. Their deserts are solid... Really good! Street noodles are tasty but very scarce on meat. Overall good experience.
(4)Jessica B.
The most recent time I've visited P.F. Chang's was for a birthday lunch with my coworkers. I made reservations for about 20 of us for a weekday lunch. They were very accommodating with this and even called to confirm the reservation the day before. When we arrived we were seated within a few minutes of the first of group arriving. We had two servers to take our orders, bring out food, drink, etc. The birthday people also received complimentary dessert. The food options were great, I enjoyed my meal completely. Not one order of all of ours was wrong or missing or very off on timing of being served. That in itself is impressive. Our two waitresses were attentive and friendly the entire time and were engaged with our group as well. Definitely a place I would recommend for a large group as they handled it well.
(4)Chef Bob A.
I have been to this restaurant many, many times and I don't recall ever being disappointed. This particular occasion was excellent. We were a little rushed to make it to a movie on time and the service was so great that we were actually able to see all the previous and trailers, which I LOVE! One of the things I love here is that they are so attentive to gluten free patrons. I found out this evening that they even have specific gluten free plates so that they wait staff can verify that the dish truly is gluten free before bringing it to the guest at the table... Pretty cool idea. I ordered the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, one of my favorites, and it was excellent, as usual. My lovely date ordered a gluten free vegetable dish and it was also excellent. I highly recommend a visit here for lunch or dinner and if you are able to I recommend either Ashley or Christian as your servers! Bon Appetit'
(4)Matt K.
Good food, not too pricey, and great service... What else do you need? I came here the day after New Years and enjoyed Mongolian beef and Kung pao chicken over white and brown rice (split with a date). We each had cocktails as well and they were outstanding. If you enjoy PF Changs or moderately pricey Asian cuisine this place won't disappoint.
(4)Phil K.
The service was very slow the lady's at the end of the station were talking and not paying attention to the front door. Then the place is leaking the only saving grace was our server she was very great thanks to her it was a great time
(3)Archna V.
I've tried both dine in and take away.. Nevertheless food was insanely delicious and in huge portions.. The wait time is less and they have customer friendly staffs..
(5)Ashley E.
We have been there twice within the last two months and we just love it. I recently had the spicy chicken (amazing), and my husband always gets the Mongolian beef (also amazing). The edamame are AMAZING with the citrus salt. I will say, my only disappointment is with the PF Changs member royalty program. I have signed up for it and activated my account and on this last trip, they couldn't find me. I logged on to see that I have never received credit for my initial order (to go during lunch time) nor was this $80 dinner able to be found either. Of course, they let you know that three days later after I threw away the receipt. Oh well! The to go lunch section is always organized and we treat ourselves once a month at our office.
(4)Denise G.
I ALWAYS hear people raving about this place. I went once back when they first opened and was extremely disappointed. But everyone has off days, and tastes change and that was a long time ago. Also we had a gift card, so I went again recently. I am still baffled. What is so great about this place???? It's packed, the food is mediocre at best... the lettuce wraps that everyone raves about: we got em, and I ate one, and I have nothing bad to say about them, but I have nothing great to say either. Literally every other table there that night ordered them and was scarfing them down like they've never seen food before. I even saw one guy with his kid ordering takeout but eating those first before they left. I just don't get it. At all. I feel like it's an inside joke I am not a part of. That or it's a joke on the many many people who love this place? Oh well.
(2)Eddie A.
The location is awesome. But the food isn't that great. I know its basic Chinese cuisines but if you're going to charge me make sure its good. The staff are friendly and very helpful in getting you seated or asking for more accommodations. I do think it is kind of dark in there so just a little light might help their servers out a bit. I will go back but only because I know they will do better.
(3)Nawal B.
Tried so many things loved the Dynamite shirmp appetizer, the lettuce wraps, didn't like the sour sweet soup maybe cause I'm not a fan of soups. But I can definitely recommend the kung Pao Shrimp entrée. A very successful experience.
(5)Andi P.
Meh. Not offensively bad but also not that good. I found myself at PF for a relative's birthday lunch (I had other suggestions, but was down for whatever the birthday man wanted to do). First, the good. The server was very friendly and helpful and the location was clean and spacious. We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer and I was pretty impressed! The lettuce was crisp and the chicken was ground up and had a fabulous sauce! I wish I had ordered this as my entree! And now, the not so good. I instead ordered a chicken salad and a side of crab wontons. I actually laughed when the salad came out- it was that big! It had mango, which wasn't ripe unfortunately, and a bitter dressing. More importantly, the chicken was cut in strips that looked boiled. The dish would have been much more appetizing had they been grilled and a little browned. Instead they were limp and not very appealing. The crab wonton was not bad, but I was (maybe mistakenly) expecting more of a crab Rangoon and this did not have cheese. Without the cheese as a binding agent, the remaining half of crab would fall into the dipping sauce when I went for a second dip. I looked around and was not impressed by any of the entrees on the table.y boyfriend got the beef and broccoli dish, but it was overly salty. Next time I'm sticking to the chicken lettuce wraps!
(2)William M.
Awesome experience, servers/hostess are the best. Attention to detail is one of kind, this location is excellent.
(5)Teresa K.
The food was good as usual but the service, from the moment we walked in the door was less than warm. Hostess was aloof, our waitress was absent for long periods of time. Sad about this experience.
