PF Chang's is your typical Americanized version of ethnic food, but then what whould you expect when the founder is Patrick Flemming (Yes, that is what PF is for).\t\n\t\nJust not worth the effort if you really enjoy Oriental food. I would suggest crossing the tracks to West Homestead for Me Lyng's or travel to Oakland for the Oriental Kitchen, where the Oriental people actually eat.\t\n\t\nBut, if Chef Boyardee is your versian of good Italian food, then go to Chang's for the Oriental food.\t\n\t\n ...read more

I have eaten here many times over the last few years. I keep going back because the food is great and so is the service. They have an expansive menu and I've never had a a bad meal. The staff is very attentive and really know their menu well. They offer great choices of seasonings and will even mix for you personally per your own taste. I've tried many things on their menu and have never been disappointed. They also have an intersting dessert menu. The fried bananas over vanilla ice-cream drizzled with caramel - mmm mmm mmm! ...read more

The food provided at P.F. Chang's is delicious. If you're overwhelmed by all the choices the menu has to offer, I suggest this thing they offer called a "Limo Ride". It's where you inform your server of your likes and dislikes, and also any allergies you or your companions may have, and then trust in the server to send out a reasonable amount of food for the table to share. It's amazing! They always send out an appropriate amount and they send the most delicious items! And NO, they do not try and gauge you by sending out the "expensive" dishes. The servers and bartenders definately put forth an effort to make sure you're getting things exactly as you want them. I feel they truly care. Many places make you feel like you're an inconvenience to the server, but definately NOT at Chang's! If you don't know much about Asian culture, they're actually knowledgeable. They even admit that they're food has an American twist to chinese cuisine (kinda like the tex-mex places aren't REALLY authentic mexican). So to those of you who feel they're trying to "fool you" with their cuisine I hope that now you understand. One personal favorite before I end this; definately stop up at the bar for a cocktail while you wait for your table. We always have a great time with their bartenders! ...read more
Some people like to freeze-dry chicken because it can be stored up to a year and it also reduces the weight of the meat. The process involves removing all the moisture from the meat, which has less of an effect on the taste of the meat than normal dehydration. Freezing drying chicken can be easily don... ...read more
