P.F. Chang’s

Was great but not anymore. I used to love frequenting a PF Changs when I lived in Florida. This location however was terrible. I went on Sunday lunchtime and the place was empty. The hostess complained when I asked to sit at a booth by the window. The food came out quick which was good. But both the honey chicken and Mongolian beef were fatty and tasted weird. Not good weird but something is off weird. When the bill came I found out they charged $ 4.50 for an extra fried rice but didn’t tell us and didn’t bring the white rice.
My girlfriend and I both had stomach problems that evening after dinner. Stay away!

If you have a couple of hours to eat fat food, then by all means eat here. We waited 1 hour for our food after ordering. The food itself was ok, nothing so delicious that I will want to head right back but if I was with a group I would be ok with going again. The chicken dishes were a little dry, flavors were good. Our server was very nonchalant and didn’t do much about the fact that our food was taking forever. Oh, and the arrogant manager trolls around barking orders at staff so that was fun.

I went to this restaurant when they first opened with high expectations. I can’t remember what I ordered, but it was a ‘light’ weight conscious entrée. It was very disappointing, tasted like a glorified Lean Cuisine. I never went back. until last night. I prefer ordering off the spicy menu, and the waiter recommended the Chang’s Spicy Chicken. I’m not sure what I was thinking, but I thought it came with vegetables (online menu says scallions and garlic, so basically nothing). I was not expecting it to be deep fried, it wasn’t described that way although the online photo shows it. He said it was coated with potato starch and cooked in a wok. It was OK, but never anything I would’ve ordered. It reminded me of the food court General Tso chicken, but a much smaller portion and a side of brown rice. Definitely not worth $ 15, I planned on having 2 meals out of it. When I think of other places where you can get a much better meal (Appethaizing for example which gives you a better portion and a delicious meal for less), it doesn’t compare. They love to seat you at the booths outlooking the mall ‘which are in demand’ but I don’t like it. I’d rather enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant instead of looking at the storefront neon signs. It was that or a middle table (even though I saw other booths available), we sat at one of these booths the first time. The service was OK, the glass of wine I ordered was adequate, but I doubt I’ll be back.

Every time I put in a takeout order, they tell me one time and then it takes 20 minutes longer or more. Food is decent, kids can eat it. The one at EASTVIEW does a better job at takeout. Make that 30 minutes! …takeout…btw, that’s beyond the 39 minute time they told me it would take to make it. And the restaurant and mall are slow timing it.

Worst P F I had soup served after food not good all the food was cold I love P F chan but not today were poor service we ware group of 8 no was happy today

Waitress was very nice!
The food today was not prepared in the right way at all today. Ma fa tofu and shcuzan beef lost their crispy texture. They were soaked in the old oil. Wonton soup was salty and contained the odor of freezer in the wonton. Nothing special. Chef appears to be totally off in preparing food. The food qualify was just like cheap take– out food. It was not that bad like here in other PFCs. The only thing I liked was their cheesecake. Go to traditional Asian place if u wanna experience real food. This place is waste of money.

Always a decent experience. But that’s all it is… Decent. It’s like they take one step forward and two steps back.
Entrée, Pad Thai, was good for what it was: a good portioned, non-​authentic Thai dish. Had a good enough flavor especially when I added some of the lime juice.
My girlfriend’s entrée was the Shanghai noodles with beef. She said they weren’t that good but I tried a bit and they tasted just fine with me! We asked for some siracha and they definitely boosted the flavor.
The appetizer we got was the chicken satay… It was questionable at best. The meat looked like it was just barely cooked all the way through; we each took a few bites and were too skeptical to risk having any more.
I think the peanut sauce is pretty fantastic though, without a doubt.

Be careful for anyone using a credit card at this location. Double check your statements and make sure the identity has not been stolen. Also, the food and service are beyond unacceptable. It’s not a complicated menu, so I can’t understand why they aren’t able to recreate the same recipes. This location definitely needs new ownership and a complete overhaul of their operations. Pay cash if you decide to go there.

I gave this place another try — Finally Found a great dish to my liking. And the waitress was very friendly. If I ever go here again, I will be ordering the same thing always!

Dining out is normally a nightmare for those of us needing gluten free meals. They take a guesswork out of GF dining. Server was well trained in making sure we had a safe, enjoyable meal. Had a lovely lunch & didn’t get sick.

Our server was excellent! Prompt attentive! Friendly. The appetizers were great. We had the shrimp dumplings, lettuce wrap, and spare ribs. All excellent. The entrée of Oolong Chilean Sea Bass was excellent.
The rest of the entrees were ordinary hence the three stars!

The Good: The staff were very friendly and courteous. The atmosphere was nice. They had quite a variety on the menu. I ordered Pad Thai with chicken, the price seemed to be within a dollar of local restaurants.
The Bad: The price of the appetizers seemed a bit high. The Pad Thai with chicken did not taste anything like Pad Thai. I have had that dish hundreds of times throughout the country/​world and the closest thing that I could say that it resembled was Lo Mein. The dish was edible, but sadly, not what I ordered or expected.
Overall, it’s is still a nice place to go, just limit your expectations if you have traveled to anyplace where authentic food originated or is being served.

This restaurant is pretty average. The atmosphere is great and the servers were all friendly and attentive. Portions are kinda small and a few of us didn’t get filled by the time we left. For a bit of a hefty price tag per plate we weren’t too happy about leaving and still wanting a snack after.

Food was not worth the money at all. I’m convinced they serve the microwavable dinners you can get from Walmart. I had the seseme chicken with white rice, and a cup of egg drop soup. Half of the plate was dry/​hard white rice and the other half consisted of about 7 small pieces of cold chicken. The soup was decent, but it had a piece of plastic bag in it (not very tasty). I gave this restaurant two stars solely because of the classy, modern environment and the friendly service. Other than that, the food and portion size need some work! P. S. The food is very salty and if you’re looking to fill up without breaking the bank I suggest finding somewhere else to eat!

When we first moved to Syracuse, my husband and I would come here on Fridays for happy hour for the food and drink specials. It isn’t the best happy hour compared to other places price-​wise, but the food is delicious, the bartenders are great, and the atmosphere is nice. Since then, we have been here at times for lunch or dinner, though we always sit at the bar for convenience.
For appetizers, our number one favorite is the crab wontons. We get them every single time we come here, they are that good. There is a good bit of crab meat inside, and the accompanying sauce (on the plate) is a good flavor compliment. We have had a few issues with the dumplings — a number of times they come out luke-​warm instead of steaming fresh. They always bring us fresh ones, though, when we call it to their attention. For entrees, our favorite is the almond & cashew chicken. The chicken is cooked perfectly, and the flavors are all there. The specialty cocktails that we have had have also been made really well. The cucumber agave fresco is my favorite; it is sooo tasty and refreshing.
They do have lunch specials Monday-​Saturday, which include a choice of soup (hot and sour or egg drop) and rice, along with the entrée you choose. I recommend the egg drop soup. It is very good. If you like super «hot», then the hot and sour would be good. It is just too hot for my taste.
You do get fortune cookies at the end, which I always find fun.
Overall, it is a chain restaurant, but a good one! The bartenders are friendly and attentive as well as good mixologists, service has always been good, and our food has always been delicious. It can be on the pricey side, so be aware before you choose here.
Tip: Happy hour is Monday-​Friday from 3 – 7. I would check their website for the specials if you are interested, because there is a tiered system — certain things are more «on special» than others, if that makes sense.

I have been here several times and while it isn’t my absolute favorite, I would go back when it is convenient. I have ordered their chicken pad thai noodles a few times, and I remember one of the times the dish was frozen in the middle… They don’t have the best pad thai, and I have ordered it since then and it has been fine. This place is good. It’s just not all that impressive or memorable. And I believe a little pricey for «okay» food.

We had a good experience at PF Chang’s and visited during a very low-​traffic time of the week.
The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food, the presentation, and the amount of food we got.
Our server was kind and polite and checked up on us a few times.
We were disappointed that one of the dishes we wanted to order was sold out and that the sake machine was broken so that we couldn’t order sake either.
We really enjoyed our food and had no complaints.

At P.F. Chang’s, the sleek interior design and modern food presentation make for a hip dining experience. But, don’t expect much from the food.
The restaurant is located in «The Canyon»” at DestinyUSA, a massive atrium featuring many upscale dining establishments. P.F. Chang’s dining room opens into The Canyon, giving you a view of passersby. Inside, the soft-​lit, modern minimalist design features Asian accents.
Many of the dining establishments in DestinyUSA are very popular late in the week and on the weekend. So, you may have to wait a while to be seated. Once seated, the service is fast. They’re also fast to sell you on a featured appetizer or beverage.
The menu has what you would expect from a typical Asian-​American eatery, though the «Chang’s Specialties» section of the menu offer unique Asian-​American fusion choices. It’s par for the course that you star with their famous chicken lettuce wraps: wok-​seared chicken, mushrooms, green onions, and water chestnuts over crispy rice sticks, with lettuce wraps.
The portions are disappointing and the food is generally bland. The Singapore Street Noodles I ordered had very little flavor to them (despite being a curry), and they were stingy on the mediocre vegetables. To help with the taste, they offer some tasty dipping sauces that you can use with most of the dishes.
Given the portions, I feel the prices are a little steep.
Ultimately, the overall experience builds expectations for food that doesn’t deliver. I’d say, go for the drinks and an appetizer.

After going wedding dress shopping with one of my best friends for her big day, we decided to grab dinner at PF Chang’s. She ordered the «Singapore Street Noddles,» and I got «Pad Thai,» because I have a big whopping addiction to that particular dish. Also, we ordered a bottle of rosé — I can not remember what the vineyard’s name was because this is a late review. Anyway, the wine was delish so if you see a rosé on the menu give it a try.
Our entrees were served in big bowls. Also, they gave us plates so we can dish the food out as the servings are big. This worked out perfectly because we always share our food. I had a portion of her «Singapore Street Noddles «which was delish, not overpowering on flavors, and a mild amount of heat to it. My order of «Pad Thai» was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Honestly, this is one of the best versions I’ve had of the dish. This is saying something considering I go to noodle joints and know a good «Pad Thai «when I taste one. As reluctant as I was to come into PF Chang’s, I’m glad that I gave it a try, and plan to eat here again.

The shrimp dumplings (fried) are an amazing appetizer! The rest of the food is basically an upgraded version of chinese takeout. If you are like me, this isn’t a bad thing.
