| - For these prices and the decor, I expected more. I put off coming here because the reviews I was reading really dampened my desire to give Chang's a shot. One afternoon after shopping at Concord Mills, my partner and I were starving. We wanted to go to Cowfish, but being that I already drove from University to Pineville then back up to Concord in less than two hours, I did not want to drive to SouthPark. So P.F. Changs won out. It was packed on a Sunday afternoon, but we were seated quickly.
The 6 pieces of dynamite shrimp appetizer came out quickly, but there was a very long wait for the rest of our food. The server kept apologizing, and so did another individual, a manager perhaps.
After our meals finally made it to the table, we quickly realized that comparable food could be had at a Chinese buffet. I will say that the lo mein was the best choice of out all. But not enough that I need to return or pay over $70 for. My lobster fried rice was also a good choice, but it was one of those one and done dishes. I've eaten at too many places around town whose food selections make me want to return as soon as possible.
Not the case here. I assume most of the patrons wouldn't be caught dead at a Chinese buffet, and I don't blame them. But I'm not averse to one, so when I want Americanized Chinese, I'll go there for 1/3 of the price and absolutely no wait.
