Location/Service
Along Highway 7, it's in the plaza right across from Commerce Gate where Yu Seafood and a Chinese Dim Sum restaurant is. Lots of parking available, but it is a relatively busy plaza. Simple decor with plenty of seating available compared to their original location. Staff were nice and fast with our requests.
Food
I liked how there is a wider variety of menu items to choose from - actually had a hard time choosing cause I really love to eat Taiwanese food. Ended up order a bento - braised pork belly with preserved vegetables. This came with a drink, watermelon and mango pudding (~$12.50).
I'm not sure if the bistro's prices were higher compared to their other locations; or if they had a different chef too. But something about it didn't feel quite right. I was a little surprised on the portion - which was less than expected. Although the preserved vegetables had no issue, the braised pork was a little tough to eat - little disappointed with the results. Watermelon/winter melon drink was perfect fine. The mango pudding was too sweet for my tasting - but having it as a combo was something extra.
I generally enjoy Papa Chang and would often buy it to go, but this location is a little off to me. Would probably go to their original or Pacific Mall location for my personal preference. It's still new and running, hopefully they work our some minor kinks and details to make me bump up the rating and come back regularly.
