If you want to go for great food that is the same but way, way, way better, go to Yummy House. I do not drink alcohol so, in the drinks area, the non-alcoholic specialty drinks are about the only thing going for it. In terms of food, we had pepper steak. Yummy House's is way better. We also had PF Chang's Spicy Chicken. Yummy House's Spicy Yummy Chicken is way better. We also had Crispy Honey Shrimp. Yummy House's Shrimp with Almond or Cashew is way tastier. The dim sum at Yummy House is way more authentic. Yummy House's dim sum comes in a cart that goes around. The fried rice at PF Chang's was slightly smoked, which is not a good sign. The fried rice at Yummy House is superb. Try Yummy House's house fried rice which is the most complete. read more

A couple of my friends and I decided to go check out this new place. Thank God, we made a reservation as this place gets swamped even during weekday nights. Our server Kurt took care of us really well being funny and bubbling with energy and providing us entertainment through out the dinner. He suggested amazing pairings of drinks to go with the food. My friends had Red Dragon and Esperto Pino Grigio with Orange Peel chicken and Thai Chicken curry. Me being a vegetarian settled for Buddha's Feast and the Thai harvest vegetable curry and a lemon ginger refresher. The food was pretty good and the usual American Chinese fusion. The Great Wall Chocolate cake we ordered for dessert was huge and deliciously decadent and took the four of us to finish it. The only thing which would have made our experience a better one is the sound system. It's pretty loud and eventually everyone has to raise their voice to speak eventually making the place drown in noise! Overall it was a fun night and not to forget the free appetizer I got as I'm a part of their rewards program- the cauliflower tempura! Perfectly crispy n the right amount of sweetness with spice. A big shout out to Kurt and do ask for him if you ever plan to visit. read more

P.F. Chang's - Chinese Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I love the service at this place. Hass to be one of the best places in Gainesville for service. The food is very good and I love the different flavors that their mixologist has for drinks. read more

Updating my review on the food poisioning: The corporate office contacted me in response to my complaint and after sharing more information on our visit they contact the location here in Gainesville. A very nice gentleman named Angel reached out to me to extend his apologize on behalf of the restaurant and after a pleasant conversation I was assured that the next visit he will personally make sure everything goes smoothly. For that, I will give this restaurant another go. read more

Had an absolutely horrible experience. Ordered vegetable fried rice as a to-go order, and found out when I got home that it was shrimp fried rice, after I specified that I had a shellfish allergy and the container lid even indicated "special order : ALLERGEN". Spoke with the manager, Janelle(?), who basically said "Well you shouldn't have ordered the fried rice, we make it with oyster sauce" and there is no indication online or on their menu that their fried rice is not appropriate for those with a shellfish allergy in the first place. So it was comforting that, when I could have died from eating their food which they incorrectly prepared, the only response I got was "Well don't order our food". Also their food is not to die for anyway. read more

I've been to other locations before and this one was pretty similar. Bar area is quite nice. Went on a Friday night and our waitress informs us that the whole restaurant is out of rice! All types of rice! Found this quite shocking for this type of restaurant, especially when they should anticipate a high volume on the weekend. Other than the lack of rice, food was good and on par with other locations. read more

I had bad experience with the only two times I dined at Gainesville, Fl Restaurant. I ordered Sweet and Sour chicken. It was suppose to come with vegetables. I ordered a little bit of rice also on bottom. It came with no rice and vegetables , just the chicken and cold. I told the waitress and she said she take back and toss it a little. When it came back , it was warmer but no rice and vegetables. She said they must have thought you already ate them and immediately left. This is the second time, I got no vegetables with my sweet and sour chicken. My friend ordered the same dish and she got lots of vegetables and it was hot. I wonder if I got somebody's left overs because my serving size was 1/2 the size of my friend. I was with a party of 12 and I do avoid conflict so I paid my bill but did not eat it. I will never go back again. read more

Disappointing after all the hype to finally get a PFChangs in Gainesville. Expensive. Small selection menu. Food was good but not exceptional! Acoustics terrible. Music was loud. Terrible for Seniors especially hearing impaired or hearing aids. read more

First visit for my daughter, granddaughter and myself. Service was good, however, the food left a lot to be desired. My daughter and I ordered the Sweet and sour chicken and my granddaughter ordered won ton soup. I can honestly say I have eaten sweet and sour chicken from the frozen food section of a grocery store that taste 10 times better than what I was served. The won ton soup was tasteless. My daughter who ordered the sweet and sour chicken agreed it was not good and certainly not worth the money. In my opinion, this restaurant is overrated and overpriced. I will not eat at this establishment again. read more

Not worth it. Over prized. Great ambiance and drinks. Service ok. The food is lacking. For an asian restaurant, if you can't get the rice or fried rice correct, staples of Chinese cuisine, you got issues. Yummy House blows this chain out of the water in flavor and price. Never coming back. read more

Their dishes are just okay. Expensive and not exciting. The only delicious thing was the dynamite shrimp. Their Korean bibimbap was bland and just okay. Their honey chicken was sickly sweet and mushy rather than crispy. Their fried rice was just normal fried rice. Their sushi was just okay but overpriced at $11 for one roll. No way will I go back for any of that food, but definitely get the dynamite shrimp if you do go. Service wasn't bad. read more

Definitely came in hungry and left happy! We ordered the kung pao dragon roll and the steak Tokyo udon bowl. Both came out fresh and quickly. We were very satisfied with the flavor, the serving size, and the price. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also very classy with an open kitchen for quality assurance. Our server was also very kind and helpful in making sure that the dishes didn't have peanuts since I have a severe allergy. Will definitely come back! read more

I would have given this establishment a 5-star before my experience yesterday, but as of today - I will never enter their restaurant again! Essentially we went for a Christmas party (with only four of us) and to have a great time with friends who don't see each other often. Two of us were earlier than the rest and had a couple of drinks. The other two arrived, we ordered apps and they ordered drinks too. Upon ordering an additional drink, we were refused. Long story short, a manager (Jose Ferraro) made a decision for us that there would be no more bar service. He never graced us with his presence, spoke a word to us, etc. I assure you we were not being complained about, etc. because we were almost the only people there - it was early. So, we decided to pay the bills and leave since we were overwhelmingly offended and insulted. Janelle (another manager) came to the table and said, "I believe there has been a miscommunication, the table is open for bar service, we were worried about the tempo of how the drinks were being ordered." We assured her that we were all of age (as if she couldn't tell that) and that we were fully aware of our capabilities. She stated that there was a liquor law that she had to abide by, but never could quote what it was. We paid our bills, left and will never return. I hope that this review keeps others who want to go out and have drinks with friends from going there as well. Other places serve 2 for 1's and we have been to those locations, acted and ordered the same as we did here and NEVER had an issue. It's pretty sad when the "man" that makes the decision decides to hide in the back, send the waiter and his boss to deliver and subsequently handle his poor decisions and lack of communication. There is no service recovery possible. We will spend our time and money in other locations. They judged books by their covers last night, that was a poor managerial decision. No communication was exchanged prior to running the overall experience off the tracks. Being proactive is always better than reactive because some things you can't undo. Chili's, Cheesecake Factory, Outback, Longhorn, Olive Garden and Roadhouse are all amazing options for anyone wanting to have a great time with great service, but P.F. Chang's is much more worried about improper judgement and "parenting" grown-ups inappropriately.... please stay out of there if you aren't pretentious, entitled and fake. read more

Decent menu, I ordered the spring rolls and wonton soup. Both were good. Service was ok, though we were seated at the table for 10 minutes before being acknowledge by our server. Restaurant was very loud, and I visited during the lunch hour. I couldn't imagine the noise level during a busy time. Overall, a mediocre visit for me. read more

Our dinner app/meals ranged from mediocre to just terrible and the kitchen and service was slow despite that it was later in the evening and the restaurant was far from busy (at least in terms of the limited numbers of eat in customers we observed). The Mongolian beef dinner was a greasy mess with more grease than sauce pooling in the bottom of the plate where the food soaked. Rest of the meal was at best mediocre. We will not be eating there again despite enjoying other PF Chang's. Our meals quality at this one was so poor that it has soured us from eating at any PF Chang's for a long time. read more

Went with the family on Sunday after making reservations which I recommend. We had the sweet and sour chicken, black pepper chicken, Mongolian beef, and everything was great. Service was great too!! read more

Nice pleasant place to eat. Good food, even though they took my favorite dish off the menu (surf and turf). Just kidding. Top 10 places if I'm not looking for anything specific. Top 5 if I want Asian cuisine. read more

Went here for a date night without the baby. It was my first time, and we had a gift card, so we were ready to run it up. It was a busy Friday night but we had to wait no longer than 10 minutes to be seated. The service was impeccable, and the food was something I had never experienced before. I got a spicy dragon sushi, with a black mango bubble tea and edamame for appetizer. It was the most amazing meal I had ever had and I will never be the same having experienced that meal. Since we had a gift card, we went all out. Appetizer, drinks, fancy entree, even dessert (fried bananas with pineapple coconut ice cream drizzled with coffee vanilla sauce.. AMAZING).. between the two of us and getting all of that, we only spent around $50. I was insanely impressed with the fact that food could be THIS incredible and if I could kiss the chef I so would. I WILL be going back many more times in the future. read more

I went on Christmas Eve and it was amazing.They weren't to busy and the food came pretty quickly.our server was helpful,and their shrimp tempura rolls are the best.any age can go and I recommend it read more

All I wanted was a nice Christmas Eve dinner with family. Instead it became one of the worst and hunger ridden ones. How can a restaurant have rice undercooked and no one even noticed it until end of shift. We complained and the waitress came back agreeing that manager also tasted and said the rice was undercooked without an apology. So the least you would imagine was after waiting an hour to get food, they would give you any food you order something on the house. Instead nothing, and to say the least to do this on Christmas is worst. May be they don't know the spirit of Christmas. #notsomerrychristmas #neveragaintoPFchangs read more

If I could give this place a zero I would!! The food is simply awful, and my entire family threw it in the trash. Please stay away from this place! Don't waste your time and money. read more

The manager was incredibly rude. We were sitting at the bar talking and he came over and complained that our group was too loud. I have hearing loss in my left ear and tend to speak too loud in a loud environment and evidently the surrounding two bar tables complained and we were asked to leave or quiet down...even though we were sitting at a loud bar. The manager was horribly rude and asked us to leave. We will never go back to this establishment. Having a fun conversation with friends on a Friday night is evidently not allowed at PF Changs. What a disappointment. read more

Now we have eaten at PF Chang's in several locations and live in Gainesville an we're excited when this P.F. Chang's opened. We are members and have eaten there 25-30 times. I am writing this review as I am truly disappointed of the service and management at this location. We normally sit at the bar to eat as the floor is slick do to it not being mopped properly. I have knee problems so getting up from a booth is more challenging and I have talked with Jose the manager about this. I think only one of our many visits the white plates they set as your dining plate as been clean. I am not sure why so much grease on a supposedly clean plate. Our last experience we went to the bar my wife gets the steam vegetables. We waited 40 minutes which was fine because it was busy. The food came raw. Literally the vegetables had not been cooked at all they were hard as a rock as I even tried them. I told Jose the manager. He took them and said he would have them steamed. 15 minutes later still nothing. My son and I were done and my wife did not want to wait. The bartender had seemed unhappy from the time we sat down there trying to encourage us to sit at one of the tables. I paid the bill and left. I then called the manager Jose who seemed very unsympathetic. I had paid full price for my wife's meal and gotten only rice. He never mentioned about he was sorry or he would accommodate me the next time I came in. I am very disappointed with this restaurant. It may be a while before we go back if we go back at all. Please inspect your white plates when you get them and maybe PF Chang's need to come and look at the poor operation being run in Gainesville Florida. Again something should be done about the greasy floors too. read more

Came in with a big party, food came out in three waves. When the final entre came out (salt &pepper prawns), it was soggy and not good. The general manager was not helpful. Server was fine, management stinks. Customer service is not a priority at this location. read more

Just leave the place couple minutes ago, I'm kinda disappointed when I receive my take out order, the food no taste at all and no spicy, I told to the girl over the phone for medium spicy but she doesn't care! The deep fried wanton was OK. Worse service ever! Never gonna come back read more

We came in at 9 o'clock yes a little late in the evening for dinner, and were greeted by a hostess to mumble something like let me see if I can get you a table ha ha (not complete menu. My wife and I used our phones and made her order. The waiter came back to inform us that "there were no dumplings or Peking duck or or or. It's been a long weekend and they have ran out of a lot of things." . It was SATURDAY ! It was 9 o'clock at night. We dealt with it for a different appetizer and our two meals. After 20 more minutes, the waiter came back and said "I'm sorry, we are out of brown rice now, too.) "Will that be all right"? We've now been here for more than 30 minutes and you're just asking me if it's OK that there's no brown rice? Is there really a choice here? Couldn't go to Publix or any other store and just get some brown rice to get you through? Asked what you're going to do a brown rice for tomorrow, Sunday? He said I don't know, they'll probably get some for tomorrow but not tonight. , until he said I'll get your bill. Of course the bill came with a QR code at the bottom and he said please pay by scanning the QR code.. I asked what about using cash and he said it would be better to use the QR code.. Nothing about if you'd like anything else or how dinner was. And then I did the thing that I have never done. I tipped him one dollar. I know the waiter is the one most upset, at the restaurant, but like I said, it is unlikely I go back to this restaurant or any restaurant in the butler plaza area. .hdhdhgggygvv read more

The service was excellent, the food was yummy and fresh. Even the iced tea was excellent. They served family style portions so I got to try a little from everyone's plate of a party of six. read more

HORRIBLE!!! All the way around the experience was disgusting! From the service to the host and the food! Very overrated! Chicken was very dry, white rice was also very dry and over cooked and although our server was nice she seemed very overwhelmed with just a 4 table 2 top section. Very slow and forgot many things throughout our meal. In my opinion it is over priced for the food! Will stick to Bento!! Thought we would try something new, but made a huge mistake! Will never go back! read more

Would not eat here again. Servers took forever and spilled water on me when serving the table next to me. Food was small portioned with average flavor but had above average prices. This was my second visit to a P.F Chang's and my last. read more

I didn't come here expecting much yet I was still disappointed. We had a reservation so we were seated quickly but we were seated right by the kitchen doors/server station which wouldn't have been an issue but the poor servers didn't have enough space to go by. It almost felt like our booth was in their way as they squeezed by. Our server was very nice although with how big the restaurant was we barely saw her. The food was mediocre and overpriced. I loved the green beans as an appetizer but my crispy honey chicken was not cooked enough and still had raw batter in the middle. My girlfriend's spicy chicken was much tastier. The biggest issue was how long it took to get the food. The appetizer came out pretty quickly but our entrees took about 45 minutes to get to us. It was a Friday night but come on that's too long. The food here is also overpriced. It's advertised as family style but that doesn't mean large portions! For $15 I expected a lot more than a small portion. Overall we were disappointed and annoyed it took so long. We arrived with a reservation at 6 and barely made it to a movie at 7:40 and won't be coming back. read more

Oh my! This was our first time to the Gainesville,FL restaurant. The noise level was off the charts. We had to hang our head over the table and put our heads together to converse. Need to install acoustic tiles. The meal was excellent along with the service. We will not be dining there again due to the noise level! read more

I really enjoy going here. I always sit at the bar where there is no wait and it is very comfortable. They are really friendly, and the food is always delicious. My favorite item is the sweet and sour chicken, which I get every other visit. On the other visits, I try something new. The food takes a while to come out, but it looks like everything is cooked from scratch and is always hot and tasty and well worth the wait. read more

we had a wonderful first visit. had a delicious lunch, with great service by our server Summer. she was very informative with helpful suggestions and checked in with us in just the right amount. will come back as it looks like they have a great happy hour! read more

Disappointed in the experience we had here for my friends birthday. Our reservation was for 7 and we were waiting on 3 girls to show up, at 7:05 they said that they would give our table away and couldn't hold it much longer. Both the hostess and the manager were snarky and not pleasant at all in this interaction, im not sure what we did to receive this rudeness. read more

I had P.F Chang's delivered through UberEats. The delivery was fast and the order was filled correctly. I ordered the shrimp dumplings and the spicy chicken. The shrimp dumplings were ok but I think they're a little bit overpriced. However, the spicy chicken was really good. Also, the food wasn't too salty. read more

Placed order for pick up. Told us it would be an hour. When we showed up they cancelled our order because they could not complete it. No bother letting us know. read more

Very nice P.F. Chang's! I've been to many - across the country. This place has lots of space & the open bar design is very modern. Both food & service are excellent! However, I wouldn't recommend the new ramen bowls. I was a bit disappointed. I travel to Tokyo a lot - so I know good ramen. P.F. Chang's wasn't that great . . . read more

Very bad service, one food ready after 10 minutes the next was ready after another 10 minutes. Portions were not enough. Vegetables were stale read more

I'd read multiple not-so-great reviews about this place, but finally visited myself recently. Had a wonderful experience! Was with a friend of mine on a Thursday right around 5pm. We were seated immediately and received our food/drinks very quickly. They had some good food/drink specials, too. All the apps and drinks were ~$5 and they were high quality. Our server was attentive and professional. Multiple staff members also stopped by to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our dinner. Some reviewers had noted that this restaurant was loud, but I didn't notice any problems with this. We had a booth on the far side of the bar and had no issues with noise. Again, all in all, a wonderful experience. I'll be back for sure! read more

My boyfriend and I went to P.F. Chang's on a Monday night and left with nothing but great things to say. The food was perfect, our shrimp being crispy but still soaked in a spicy creamy sauce. The service though - even better. Hayden was our server and he could not have been nicer. Constantly filling our drinks and helping us decide menu choices - he even offered to bring us a side of sauce that he liked for our fried rice and it was great. Very nice and friendly; if you go on a weekend night, make sure you ask for Hayden and you will not leave without feeling like you had a great night at P.F. Chang's! read more
