Editorial Review for P.F. Chang's China Bistro – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Towering twin stallions and carved wood screens add majesty and mystery to this stylish restaurant, where well-dressed patrons sip martinis at the bar and families with children feast around large tables or in spacious booths. The menu gives Chinese classics a contemporary tweak; dishes are artfully presented, with many sauces made tableside by servers. Signature plates include diced chicken wrapped in cool lettuce leaves, orange-peel beef with chili peppers, and wok-fried scallops with lemon sauce.

So I had two coworkers take me out for lunch one day. We decided on P.F. Changs in SLC. We had the lettuce wraps for the appetizer. They tasted as expected...nothing impressive there. All three of us decided on something different to share. Chang's Spicy Chicken, Shrimp with Candied Walnuts, and Chendgu Spiced Lamb. Chang's Spicy Chicken - Low on the flavor scale, spicy tasted like tabasco sauce, quite dissappointing there, best out of the three dishes. Shrimp with Candied Walnuts - Wow...too much citrus...couldn't even tell I was eating shrimp...the citrus sauce flavored everything...unedible in my opinion. Chendgu Spiced Lamp - High Hopes for this dish were quickly crushed...couldnt' tell it was lamb...too much exta flavor added to the lamb...could have been eating beef that was prepared the same way, and it would have tasted the same...was however, edible enough to eat. I must say, I do have high standards. One of the two coworkers agreed with me on most things I said above, and the other loved the meal. Overall, the service wasn't bad, but the food was. If this was at some $9 a plate chinese restaurant, I would expect this, and choose not to go there again. At the prices this food cost, it was just awful. $5.99 chinese lunch buffet appeals to me more than P.F. Chang's China Bistro.
Pros: None that I can think of...oh wait, the hostess was very nice.
Cons: The food and the price.

PF Chang's is the best place to go when your group of friends would like to try something delightfully different and light. When we go, each person orders something different the appetizer, the main course (or two if there are more than 4 of us) and then the GREAT WALL of CHOCOLATE. This amazing dessert weighs in at 1886 calories for the serving, and you really don't want to eat this by yourself. The family serving style of pf Chang's makes it easy to take what you want and you are less likely to over-indulge.
Pros: Family style service
