PF Changs....

...is fancy if the last time you had Chinese food you ate it in a middle school cafeteria.


...is only the right call if the Golden Corral was closed for fumigation and the line at Cracker Barrel is too long.


...is delicious if you normally eat at the Walmart cafeteria.






...if someone suggests it, punch them in the throat.

1. Never had a bad meal or poor service at one. And, it's one of the few places that can mix a

Martini the way I like!

[Xyzse]

2. I think I may have to agree

They are expensive for the sake of the area and decor.
Food is sub par.

I did go there for the Mai Tai.

3. I know DU famously hates chain restaurants, but I love their lettuce wraps and Dali chicken.

Please don't think less of me!

4. Tofu lettuce wraps are great.

There's a small chain called Doc Chuey's that has even better ones though.

14. I like Roly Poly. Unfortunately, the only one around here closed (bad parking lot access).

Not only do they make awesome wraps, but they always seem to have at least one vegetarian soup option.

5. If you recently had your taste bugs scraped off your tongue and your stomach lined with iron

Just saying

[geardaddy]

6. Never been to one.

Having lived in China and Taiwan, I try to go to little family places here. The food is great and the ambiance is usually nice and grimy, the way I likes it.

7. That restaurant is GROSS!

I went there once for a Bday dinner. Holy shit!! Its worse than a school cafeteria! a lot of ppl of all ages, small children, no privacy, crowded, noisy, and yukky food!

Stay away!

8. I like PF Chang's

and I like their daughter restaurant, Pei Wei, too.

Around here, it's the cleanest Chinese place we can find.

I know that Ming's Bistro is more authentic with their hairy lipped* old ladies sitting at a table rolling dim sum from room temperature fish and shrimp bits while duck carcasses hang from the ceiling and dry but dammit, sometimes i just wanna not worry about when was the last time my server had a bath.**


Heck I'll stop at the Panda Express on occasion too. At least they're cheap.

And, to be fair, PF doesn't claim to be Chinese. Just "Asian Fusion"...


*referring to actual mustachio hairs, nothing else.
**referring to actual, specific, in-person dining experiences and not making a broad generalization regarding the Chinese culture or people whom I love as much as anyone.

9. And at that, it's still better than Panda Express

[snooper2]

10. I suggest PF Changs

11. We tried to eat at one a few years ago in South Miami.

Apparently, they were having a special if you brought a screaming baby in a stroller.

[ohiosmith]

12. Mmmmmm! Screaming Baby Lettuce Wraps!

[graywarrior]

13. I hate that place.

Everything tastes like a bowl of salt.
