This was the first PF Chang's I had ever been to way back in 96/97/98 I can't recall but this was the original in Vegas before the one on the blvd opened.
Eating at P.F. Chang's is like taking an introductory class in Chinese food. For those that don't know authentic Chinese or asian food, this place is a great start for new palates. It doesn't try to be authentic so you shouldn't go in assuming to have true home cooked meals here.
The focus for them is clean "up-scale" atmosphere and consistent dishes across all their restaurants so that people from the mid-west (or where ever people live that have never tried Asian cuisine) can feel comfortable and get a great meal. Then when a restaurant pops up in Cheyenne WY or Troy, Mich., you have instant success (just an example)... I've been to other PF's and this one still surpasses others in flavor, but for those of you that know authentic food, this still doesn't stack up.
I give it three for those that are looking to dabble in new things Chinese and get a familiarity to some of the tastes and styles, then once their "feet are wet" start getting adventurous... in no time you'll be asking for sea cucumber and birds nest soup (well maybe not that adventurous ;)
