Worse service ever!!! Asked to speak with a manager turns out that Mike is the one who was arguing with us says he is the general manager. He tried to lie to us and blame it on the new waiter. I would love to hear from whomever is higher than Mike because if he is that high in management you should be worried about the service he is giving to customers!!!! read more

To start off getting seat was fast... waiter to a lllllloooooonnngggg....time get our order.....BUT FOOD WAS EXCELENT HATS OFF TO THE COOKS.... Bowls and silverware not clean over all place was dirty food and dropping all under tables read more

My husband and I went here and had a nice lunch. Unfortunately a lot of their food is too spicy for me with the red chili. But I opted for the honey chicken. Little too much honey sauce. Our waiter was so kind and accommodating. You can't really go wrong with a meal from here read more

Have been here for some time. Came for a late lunch. Place doesn't look like it's changed. The hostesses were friendly. Told them we were there to meet a friend. Asked her name and seated us with her right away. Of course, the place only had maybe 6 tables occupied. Placed our placed our appetizer and drink order. Went with fried green beans and brussel sprouts. Our friend ordered some super sweet milky looking drink. The appetizers were tasty. And plentiful. I went with the mandarin crunch salad. I asked for no tomatoes or onions. My husband went with pad Thai and asked no tomatoes (just to be on the safe side) and no bean sprouts. And our friend went with fried rice with bean sprouts on the side. The remark from our waiter was, well se how it goes with all of these modifications. What an odd thing to say to customers. The food was delivered by the manager. At that time, my friend asked for black pepper but had not noticed there were no sprouts. The manager never brought it out. I asked the waiter. He never brought it out. The third time, I got up and went up by the kitchen and had to ask for pepper. Finally got it. My salad was good. Pad Thai was ok. Had a weird flavor to it. The fried rice was ok. Per my friend, the sprouts would have made a difference. Like I said, we got there and there were only about 6 table occupied. Service was subpar. And the food was nothing special. For the price, we had higher expectations. Will we go back. No. read more

Great food. Evening meal was delicious . I treated my niece & her friend. They enjoyed the lettuce wraps, main entrees & we did the all deserts! Fantastic! Great waitress! read more

We had a reservation of 5 at the location in Carlsbad area. We were greeted and seated very good. But the main entree was too cold for all of us and the side dishes n rice and noodles were served like 10 minutes after we asked for it. I think we were close to done eating the entree without the rice itself. Service was very slow and short staffed. We had to ask for a water refill again. My order of shrimp Kung pao was over done n burnt but I did not say much cos it was not worth it to eat it without my sides of rice n noodles. Overall it was one bad experience and I don't think I will come back to dine in this place any more and not worth the price we paid for a New Year Family Meal read more

Service was ok & food was good, but their sushi rolls need work. Very small (skinny) for the price.

came into the bar the other day with some girl friends and we met the kindest most patient bar tender, claudia. we enjoyed our time w her and she made the day very memorable, and my friends and i would of loved to hangout with her outside of this atmosphere! anyway, she took the time to help pick out and craft a japanese old fashion for me. it was quiet strong but, i have had my fair share of old fashions and i can say from experience she knows how to make a very fragrant and bright old fashioned. thanks for being apart of our girls trip !! read more

Everyone here is wonderful. The food is delicious. The happy hour prices and portions are amazing. Jessica is incredible! It was quiet when we arrived and we received all of her attention. She educated us about sake and made the whole experience wonderful. I love the lettuce wraps. The dumplings are delicious. The crab wontons are delightful. And the Great Wall of chocolate is epic. We had the most amazing time. We spoke to the manager to give him, his staff and restaurant a good word. We will be back!! Thank you for a most enjoyable evening, Jessica and the chefs!! read more

We celebrated my dad's birthday here this week. They made him feel really special with special place mats, chopsticks and a sparkling candle with dessert. I'd definitely recommend this place for eating family style for a celebration. read more

Our 1st time at PF Changs . . . Ever. Very nice decore and ambiance. Service was spot on and as friendly as can be. We ordered the lobster & shrimp fried rice and Ginger chicken with broccoli. Just gonna say that we probably ordered the wrong things. Simple case of my expectations not being met by the Asian inspired entrees we ordered. My wife loved her ginger chicken with broccoli. Please note, my wife loves "Mexican" food. . . from Taco Bell. Get the idea? Even if it's not authentic or somewhat fusion-ish and its really good, I would tell you. Till next time folks ... Take care! read more

Just left, extremely busy day, yet our server Shalom was on it!!! She made great suggestions, explained the menu, was a delight and will come back again just for her!!!

I came to P.F. Chang's for the first time and decided to sit at the bar. I was looking for a cocktail off the menu and Mia made me exactly what I was looking for. She curated a cocktail I've never had and it was exceptionally delicious. Chelsea was also working and made sure my friend and I had everything we needed. Both of these bartenders made my experience a 10/10 and will now be a regular guest of P.F. Chang's read more

Horrible service, there was only a handful of people in the whole entire restaurant and she asked if we had reservations and when we said no, she said we will have to wait. I didn't have a problem with that until the next family came in and said they didn't have reservations and got seated right away. The food was horrible, which we should have known since no one was there. I'll never come back. read more

Food and service was good but I had an experience that made me not want to return. I forgot my leftovers on accident walked to my car realized and when I walked back the girl that threw it away, Evelyn, was extremely rude and almost upset that I forgot my food. Had so much attitude when I came back for my food. I ordered a large portion and barely touched it, and she wanted to give me less than what I paid for I'm grateful the manager was understanding and took better care of me. read more

We did takeout this evening through the app. I verified the wait time (45mins) in the app. Service was great. Our meal was ready when we arrived to pick it up. Service was great. The portions appeared to be smaller than what we are used to seeing for beef and broccoli. The flavors seemed a bit different (less flavorful?). This is our first time at this location. read more

Very friendly, kind, staff at the Carlsbad location. They are quick to accommodate special circumstances and offer solutions to make the customer happy. They quickly resolved my quarry and made me feel like they did care. The food is always great, we order often for our the office and they have options for everyone. There pick up is timely, everything is nicely packed with care and a smile. Always have a good customer service experience here, would highly recommend if looking for a nice bite to eat especially with people who have dietary restrictions. lots of options and very helpful to assist in what to order. As a vegan I find that I can enjoy a lot of the vegetable dishes and the staff is knowledgeable in dietary needs. The lunch bowls are a great value that have great side options as add ons. read more

The service was great, the food was good, but definitely way overpriced. Will not be going back because of the ridiculous pricing for what you get. read more

Men's bathroom had urine all over the floor. Portions were anemic for a $100 meal. Waiters were fine but the other aspects make for a mental note never to return. What a disaster. read more

Overall it was okay! The server really needs more training on how to properly provide exceptional service. Let's start with the table. I used the napkin to wipe down the table that was wet! The server wiped down the table with a microfiber cloth that was wet.... The table was still wet! Used the same napkin to wipe down the table. She then asked if I wanted another napkin!!!! I said yes!!! This was wet and she NEVER picked up the used napkin. I just placed it on the other table to my left. She only came by ONCE to see how we were doing. I noticed that the server on my right was very attentive to her guests. At the end of the meal I mentioned that that the Chang's spicy chicken was not as spicy as I expected. She started that I should have mentioned it when she asked me earlier!!!!! REALLY!!!? This is the first time I've ever ordered this dish!!!! And I also mentioned to her that this was the first time!!! She ONLY came by ONCE!!!! My water glass was empty and she refilled without ice!!!!! By this point I was DONE with her service and didn't want to upset my mom who was having a wonderful time. I'm was trying very hard not to show my disappointment with the fact that I was upset and disappointed with the poor service that we received. Food overall was good but the server really needs more training.... Maybe she should take some tips from the server that was to my right. read more

We've tried to eat here a few times, always logging a reservation on major holidays. I always give a business more than one opportunity to prove themselves because everyone can have a bad day. It's now 3 strikes and you're out. They have not honored our reservations each of the 3 times we tried. Making up excuses/lies which we then called them out on. You can take reservations but you clearly have problems holding reservations. Management clearly needs to learn how to staff their restaurant using historical data because they have been chronically understaffed each time for major holidays. The wait staff is polite and efficient but have been setup to fail by management. Slow food delivery, running out of clean glasses, and running out of a entree are just a few of the problems we've encountered over these visits. The poor reviews and their low star ratings says it all. Find another location because this restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. read more

It's been a long time P.F. Chang's... We stopped visiting for many reasons...mainly because you got rid of the prix fixe meal for two, and your food was too expensive and not very tasty. Well, the hubs and I ventured back a few nights ago...just the two of us...you know, two people, perfect for a prix fixe meal that you supposedly brought back but our waiter failed to tell us about...not sure why, there were exactly two people sitting at the table...two! So, if it isn't obvious, we ordered off of the regular menu... We couldn't order or favorite dish, shrimp with candied walnuts, that was removed from your menu. We settled on crispy green beans, chicken lettuce wraps, mongolian beef and lo-mein. The food was fresh and served hot and it tasted, as expected. I also ordered the smoked old fashioned, which was a nice addition to my meal. Our server was attentive, personable and didn't seem disgruntled...but he did forget to ask, if we'd like to see the prix fixe meal menu... read more

Dined in for a company lunch yesterday with a large group. They took care of us well even though we had like 20 people. I enjoyed the coconut cooler. As a vegetarian the options are more limited. The Korean glass noodles were fine, but nothing impressive. It would've been great if there could've been tofu or something to help it be more filling though. read more

So the place was less then packed. The food was basically tasteless. I have always loved PFC but the last few times I have been dissatisfied with the quality of the food. The service was ok, but slow to respond and remember. Why do many servers not write down the order? If you don't then don't forget!!!! read more

The service was incredible! Daniel was our server and he was so attentive, kind, helpful and all around made the experience the best it could be! I am not generally one to write a review, but he was such a wonderful server, I knew I had to get my phone out to write this review before even getting home. The food was great as well! The lettuce wraps had a great sauce that we also got to mix our own portions (because Daniel brought an extra sauce bowl!) Overall, the restaurant was what I would expect as a normal dinner place, but the service and personality of Daniel is what made it exceptional. read more

It was a terrible treatment over seating! We were a family of 4 that walked in with a reservation and were put behind a couple that walked in after us, were denied a booth and told that booth was not an option. I deem the treatment as racist' extremely unprofessional staff and manager! They just told us employees were more important than the patrons! This location of PF Chang's is definitely not recommended ! read more

We loved the Egg Drop Soup, Crispy Honey Shrimp with Rice Noodles, and the Buddah's Feast with Brown Rice. Fresh , flavorful, piping hot, and generously portioned. Our server was attentive and brought our food out quickly. read more

Have u ever been pissed at a place and never said anything about it. Had enough now! Take out at PF Changs is terrible, very poor. Small potions. I snapped 2 then I got bored and then thought why bother with more pics. Never mind the 40 minute wait after collection time. We are normally regulars sitting in but occasionally take out. NEVER AGAIN. YOU SHOULD GO ELSEWHERE FOR TAKE OUT. If I hadn't have been 5 miles away I would have drove back. JUST RIDICULOUS. Would be interested in hearing some sort of reply or excuse. Now I'm bored writing. read more

The best part about this restaurant is the atmosphere. It has a cool, unique vibe. That makes it a fun spot to have a drink, meet up with friends, etc. I've tried a few different dishes here. Everything I tried has been very sweet, to the point where I can barely pick up flavors other than just sugar. It's not my thing, but if you like very sweet dishes you may enjoy it. To the extent that recipes are not actually traditional Chinese recipes, this restaurant should be viewed as an Asian fusion restaurant in which dishes have been (heavily) modified for a broader American palate. The service definitely will vary, as it will at any major chain. Service here is typically very good, with servers being attentive and helpful. I appreciate that it's kept very clean in the restaurant, and that there's plenty of seating. read more

We had dinner here. Restaurant is old and dirty! I don't know how anyone can dine here without noticing the filth. Drinks are mediocre and expensive our glasses were stained with smudges and it reeked of mildew. We packed left overs got home and within a couple hours we all became ill. Please have CEO Get rid of this location or their management! Replace everyone here! I am tempted to call them and report this health hazard; but I blame management 109..,% We have dined in outdoor taco shops and stands even in Tijuana during the pandemic and never became sick; then again their eatery stands and restaurants were Clean! PF Chang's failed on every note! Filthy place needs complete gut job including their poorly managed staff. Long faces and acrylic nails just disgusting and another server with long un groomed looking it's just all disorder! Im blaming management! This place is poorly managed! Angry because we are all sick from your food and drinks! read more

When you start a family you stop going to P.F. Chang's and you start going to Pei Wei. Our family SUV was being worked on down the street so we decided to stop here for an early dinner. One definite bonus about dining at this P.F. Chang's early is that the Happy Hour is available in the dining room to 6PM. There are some good appetizers ($6) to choose from and some adult beverages too. We kept it simple and ordered a few HH sushi rolls. The rolls were pretty good and they settled the down the kids and their hunger pangs. We also ordered a large pot of Egg Drop Soup. The soup was a bit gelatinous compared to others I've had elsewhere. It was okay. Kung Pao Chicken - Not sure why this cost 16.50 when the Orange Peel chicken ( and others) only cost 13.50. Chang's really up-charges for spicy dishes? I recently had Kung Pao Chicken at Pei Wei and loved it there. Chang's version was good and the chicken was perfect, but it was muted in flavor compared to the Pei Wei version. With Chang's higher price, I'd have to say pass on it here. Orange Peel Chicken - A bit too mild for me. I generally like my Orange Chicken to be more pungent with a wallop of vinegar zing. It was good, but don't anticipate getting Panda Express style here. Lo Mein - Colorful and delicious. A no-brainier when looking for a noodle dish to complement your meal. Your fortune cookie says.... At close to double the price of Pei Wei, it's still best to save P.F. Chang's for celebratory meals. The quality is noticeably better at Chang's but in the end the cost of Pei Wei wins for overall value. Kandi was a great server.. read more

Ambiance is good, however quality is mediocre at best. our servers was good when she could attend to us, however they appear to be understaffed, so it takes a long time for the server to get back to you and food took very long time to arrive, even when the restaurant was not fully packed read more

My girlfriend and I went here for her birthday last weekend and we had a pretty good experience. I highly recommend calling them and reserve for the birthday booth as it comes with perks: - birthday discount - free dessert - champagne firework Our server was friendly and the food was amazing. They didn't get 5 stars because they were sold out of Oolong Seabass and that's what literally the dish that we came for. read more

I like PF Changs for the fairly large gluten free menu. I hadn't had Chinese food in almost two years and this is an option for me if I really have a craving. Ask the host/hostess for a gluten free menu if you need one. The service here is mediocre at best. We had to ask for things multiple times and some items were never even brought out. We asked for soup and it was never brought to the table so we asked to not be charged for it once the food came out. Not bad service, just not great. The food is pretty good but it's expensive for what you get. I really do come here because it's one of the only gluten free Chinese menus I've ever seen. I'll probably be back but hoping for better service. read more

What a great selection on the gluten-free menu! They even have a gluten-free soy sauce! I'm a huge fan of P.F. Chang's so after a long morning at the Outlets, we decided to go their for lunch. It's right across the street from the mall and a short walk away from the Palisades resort if you're close by! However, for the first time ever, there was a mixup with our order. We ordered lettuce wraps as an appetizer and never received them. When we got the bill, we were charged for them. However, we told our amazing waiter Mason, and he took it off the receipt. As we were getting ready to leave, the lettuce wraps suddenly came out (the kitchen apparently forgot about them). But they were nice enough to box them up for us to take to-go. They were very apologetic about it and handled the situation very well! Besides that, we had a very pleasant experience! I really want to give a shout-out to Mason because he was so helpful and very kind. The food was served warm and the service was quick! read more

Go here now! Get Brandi (yes, with an I) as your waitress. She is awesome! They should pay her more money!!! She's good! Fun! Sassy! Mike P. Also helped us out.. super fun! Not Brandi fun, but quite good at his job! P.F. Chang's has an allergy menu. VERY helpful. Gluten free and fish free in my party. Restaurants sneek in worcestershire (hello, that's fermented fish sauce) also oyster sauce and fish sauce. Deadly if you're allergic. So quite helpful they offer that. It's online. read more
