| - If you're familiar with PF Chang's and their look, you probably wouldn't recognize this one in the SouthPark area. To blend in any strict SouthPark codes, the restaurant looks like every other building in the area on the outside with just their name added. Not until you get up to the front door (hidden in a breezeway) do you begin to recognize the establishment.
I've been to this PF Chang's a few different times and had varied experiences. The first few times were good, as expected. Then I had the most crazy experience I've ever had at a restaurant. The hostess pulled a superiority card and said she couldn't seat our party of five for 45 minutes because there were no tables available to accommodate our size. I pointed several out to her and she shrugged her shoulders. That's right: she shrugged her shoulders at me. I guess nobody taught her how to count and spot empty tables before, so my logic blew her away. I wrote a letter and got an immediate response from the GM who was very apologetic and invited us back. We did give them another try and have been back a couple of times since.
Our return visits have been very good. The food always tastes delicious and the service was excellent, too. The chicken lettuce wraps are on the appetizer menu, but they make a fantastic meal for one. I feel like I'm eating so healthy -- yet so tasty -- when I choose them. If I'm really hungry, I go for the Ginger Chicken with Broccoli or Ground Chicken with Eggplant. It's tough to decide between the two for me. And usually it's white rice for me as an accompaniment (instead of their other option of brown rice). I tried the Orange Peel Chicken once, not realizing how much orange peel they really put in the entree. Ever eaten a lot of orange peel? It's bitter. And totally ruins the flavor of the meal. And there isn't enough soy sauce in the world to correct it. So what did I learn? Orange Chicken good. Orange PEEL Chicken bad.
One of my favorite touches at PF Chang's is that they offer a variety of sauces at the tables. You can mix your own combination of oil, vinegar, hot mustard, soy sauce, and chili pepper sauce if you want to...or just go straight for the chili pepper sauce solo and let the heat take over. YUM.
The last time we were there, we splurged and got dessert, too? Why? They were tiny and calling our names. For about $2, you can order a mini dessert (about two spoonfuls in a shotglass) just "for a taste." That way, you get the flavor without all the calories! I tried 3 different ones -- and, mind you, I LOVE chocolate -- but the carrot cake one (with cream cheese frosting) was my favorite.
p.s. I rated PF Chang's not good for kids because they don't have kids' menus.
