I have never been to Asia and am no authority on "authentic" or "inauthentic" Asian cuisine, as I am sure most people are not. I am not bothered by these titles and therefore dined at P.F. Chang's for the first time without any clear expectations other than a great meal. It was a friend's birthday and she wanted a small group to meet at P.F. Chang's for dinner. We sampled almost every appetizer on the menu and a great many entrees and from then on I was in love. Every dish I have had has been fantastic. They are very accommodating, as they offer a gluten free menu and many vegetarian options. They have a happy hour with discounted appetizers and drinks which is a really great way to try their appetizers for a lot less money. They also offer a "Warrior Card" which gets you 10% off your entire purchase and access to other goodies via email. They food is always great and really tastes like some love was put into it, an experience one does not often get in a chain restaurant. The staff is always very nice and incredibly helpful. On many occasions, the manager has presented coupons to diners to use on their next visit just as a thank you for dining with them. I took my mom to P.F. Chang's for her birthday (its her favorite) and our waiter brought us a complementary beef dish to ensure we had all proteins represented! I have never had a bad experience but I will say that this location in particular is very hospitable so I would recommend it for your first time. Don't let its lack of authenticity or the sheer fact that its a chain keep you from giving it a try.
