  • Make no mistake. This place is all about outward appearance and not so much on inner appearance. The gf and I decided to try this place out after shopping at Shops at Don Mills one night. Joeys was packed and long wait, Bier Market was too loud for our liking at the moment, and having been to Glow a few times, we wanted to try something different. Kind of a spur of the moment thing. Ordered gyoza/dumplings to start, tuna tartare to share, and fried rice with crab for main. Gyoza was average, tasted like something homemade. We 've had better elsewhere, it was very soft on the outside, only slightly seared at the top. Filling was ok too, nothing outstanding or anything. I could detect a hint of fried egg, perhaps they greased it with a cooked egg before. The tuna tartare was bland, served on top of a crispy chip with diced cucumbers stacked neatly on top. They generously drizzled it with spicy mustard even though I explicitly asked for no spicy mustard as my gf cannot eat anything spicy. Nevertheless, it was bland and the tuna pieces were cold as ice, most likely frozen and defrosted as there was no flavor to it. Lastly, our main course was the fried rice with crab. The rice grains were soft, more akin to steamed rice and lightly fried for like 10 seconds or something. It fell apart the moment you put your utensils into it. Maybe it was microwaved which would explain the wet rice taste. Crab pieces were generously mixed but tasted very bland (hmm, recurring theme here) and lacked imagination of what true fried rice is all about. For $18 a plate for this dish, you expect more as how can anyone really screw up fried rice. There was also heavy use of black pepper and siracha which to my taste buds could not detect but my gf did. Needless to say, she dind't eat much of it even though our waitress had assured it she would tell the kitchen that no hot sauce would be used. What a disappointing experience. Ambience is nice, but that's it. Do ask for dining room seating as we were seated on the covered but heated patio which had an open end "window" which did not sufficiently blocked the cold. (This was back in early March.) I would definitely not return to PF Chang's. I would recommend you take your money and go to Congee Queen across the street for a more delightful Chinese food experience.
