    Excellent food. Duck was very tasty and vegetables cooked perfectly. Had Dim Sum to start- stuffed jalopenos, shrimp dumplings and lobster dumplings- all delicious! The service was attentive but not intrusive. Was busy for Christmas Day and had a nice relaxed atmosphere. We’ve been before and we’ll be going again. Highly recommended!

    Omg! It was such a good meal. We were excited to try the Jewish Christmas menu and it was well executed. We started with the latkes and brisket egg roll. Both were flavorful and well done. We ordered the matzo ball egg drop soup and it was a hit. For the main entrees we had the pastrami fried rice and the general tso chicken. We were so happy we did this. The holiday drinks also hit the spot. :). Please bring this menu back next year!!!!

    The food is always consistent and delicious at PF Chang. We usually go as family and each one has our favorite, and it is always good. We also had used PF CHang for catering in the past. My family is a fan!
