I must confess!! I never thought i would write a review of this place cause honestly i never liked it! (Been here plenty times for bdays dinners) but today is Halloween and i didn't get time to get me a costume but i still wanted to see what people dressed up as so what a better place to watch people walking than P.F Chang! Here the reviews: -Ambience: place is nice and modern. Plus they have an outside area (i requested to sit there) so it was perfect for Halloween! -Service: Waitress was really nice, 10 points. -Parking: Park in Royal Hawaiian Center, they will validate. -Food: First of all i didnt like that they brought evrything at the same time! Appetizers with the entree.. *Hand folded crab wontons ($12.99) The crab has no flavor. It taste like those frozen items you find in walmart. Ugh... *Salt & pepper calamari ($12.99) It was the best of the night or the least worst (does that word exist? Lol) *Shrimp with candied walnuts ($21.99) It was HORRIBLE! I mean cmon how can you mess up this! It tasted like a mustard sauce with sugar... I dont like doing this type of reviews but plz people! Food is super bad and its expensive!! (Everything came out to $65!!! ) Even panda express tastes better for a quarter of the price! 2 stars cause service and ambience are good, plus it let me check out this years costumes while eating :) read more

Arrived early enough that there was no wait. Happy hour has a few specials worth ordering. Buyer beware that this location does NOT honor rewards members and prices are much higher than normal. Nevertheless you're in Hawaii. Food came quick and for the most part was the usual Asian flare. If I could give it 3 1/2 I would though. Not overly impressed and I'm a regular at P.F. Chang's. read more

I love this restaurant normally. We go to the one Reno NV all the time. We ordered an order to be delivered. They did not include eating utensils. Hard to eat hot and sour soup, orange chicken and fried rice with your fingers. They also messed up our order. read more

I've walked past PF Chang's 100 times and it is always busy. I've also had 100 people tell me they didn't like it because it wasn't "really" Chinese food. I've also read 100 reviews where customers were very happy. Venue: Waikiki location at the Lewers St. end of the Royal Hawaiian Center. It faces Lewers street and has an upstairs and down stairs dining area and indoor and outdoor dining area. There are pros and cons to dining out doors. Just be aware. You know there can be birds, wind, heat, noise and humidity out of doors. On the other hand it can be great outdoors when the weather is so nice. Sit indoors if you are not sure. Casual and busy atmosphere that is good for adults and families. Food: Yeah, this is not a hardcore authentic Chinese Restaurant. They are not trying to be. Lots of people seem to love the food and I think there really is something for everybody. Wraps: My friend's wife is doing the Weight Watcher's Points. The Chicken Wrap on the appetizer menu has the points calculated and she wanted a light dinner that was healthy and within her point count for the week. Chicken wraps are good! They seem to be a really popular item. Being vegetarian I was looking for a healthy light dinner that had no meat. The Tofu Wrap seemed to fit the bill. It was really good too. It's diced seasoned tofu that is wok fried and ready to wrap up in lettuce. It's good. I also got the wok cooked mushroom side dish. That made for a filling nutritious meal. My friend got the fried rice. He ate half for a light dinner and took half home for breakfast the next day. So we didn't get anything expensive or fancy but what we did have was quite good. Service: Pleasant and efficient for such a busy high volume operation. Vegetarian: I give them credit for being vegetarian friendly. I liked PF Chang's and I'll go back for sure. Parking: Validated in the Royal Hawaiian Center Garage. Minimal charge but more if you stay over 3 hrs. Pay at a machine before you go back to your car to exit. read more

It's hard for me, as a self-proclaimed foodie, to write a review of a chain restaurant without my intrinsic snobbery coming into play. After living in Berkeley a year, eating a chain restaurant is right up there on the list of unforgiveable sins with driving SUVs or clubbing baby seals. Yet I find myself compelled to write a rather favorable review of this particular PF Chang's which my friends insisted on going to this evening. First off; from an aesthetics standpoint, if you've seen one, you've seen them all. They look nice, the theme is fun and exotic(ish), and they do a nice job with it, as long as it's well maintained and clean, which this one is. The ladies at the checkin counter were friendly and gave me a buzzer so I could go to the bar and they would buzz me when my tardy friends arrived, so I didn't have to keep watch. Thought that was a nice touch. My friends called to let them know they were almost here and they buzzed me a few moments later so I approached the counter as my friends walked in the front door. I thought the synchronization was skillful. Our server was friendly but not overly attentive, did a competent and efficient job throughout the meal. The food itself was very well executed, my friends loved it and I was content (told you I'm a snob). The wine was a very nice accompaniment and our server made recommendations which my friend followed through with, and was pleased. Beautiful night to sit outside and eat, the food was quite good, and the service fantastic. It may be a chain, but even I have to bow and give credit where credit is due. read more

I think I've only been to this Waikiki P.F. Chang's once--for lunch during the week--but it was a pleasant experience, since it was a normal weekday and the eatery wasn't too crowded. I went to the other P.F. Chang's location before (close to Tango's Café in the Ward area), but never to this Waikiki restaurant prior to this visit ... just because I try to avoid Waiks, if possible. But this P.F. Chang's wasn't too hard to find because it was close to my beloved Cheesecake Factory, if I remember correctly. There's a lot to choose from on the menu, but the BF and I chose the "P.F. Chang's For Two" option--though it seemed pricy--because you basically get a full-course meal, and a good amount of menu items are available to choose from. I was SUPER stuffed after the lunch--this is probably a better dinner option--but I did enjoy everything we ordered. Here's what we got, as well as items I want to try in the future: "Garlic Prawns": This limited-time only dish features prawns gently cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce accompanied with a pickled pepper slaw. I would probably skip the slaw, but those garlicky prawns sound absolutely delicious. "Kim Chee Fried Rice": I like fried rice better than regular rice, and though I'm not the hugest fan of kim chee, this savory concoction sounds intriguing. It includes pork fried rice seasoned with sweet and spicy kochujang sauce and locally made kim chee topped with two over-easy eggs. I would probably ask about the spiciness level of this dish before ordering it--since I can't handle super spicy--but I wouldn't mind trying this medley, since it does include pork and I love anything that's topped with over-easy eggs. "Dynamite Shrimp": This crispy shrimp comes tossed with a zesty sauce. Again, I would probably ask about the spiciness level before ordering it, but this is one entrée that I wouldn't mind trying. The "P.F. Chang's for Two" meal comes with a cup of soup, one starter, two entrees and one dessert. It's a pretty good deal for what you pay for (lots of deals include EITHER an appetizer or dessert, but with this one, you get both). Cup of soup: I went with the "Egg Drop Soup," which featured a velvety broth with julienne carrots and green onions. Though I didn't finish all of my soup, I did like the light yet flavorful broth. Starters: We went with the "Chang's Lettuce Wraps," which is the eatery's signature app. It includes wok-seared chicken, mushrooms, green onions and water chestnuts served over crispy rice sticks with cool, crisp lettuce cups. I'm not a fan of green onions or water chestnuts, but I put those dislikes aside to try this app. It really was refreshing and tasty, and I really did like the chunks of chicken. I'd definitely order this appetizer again, but next time, I want to try the "Crab Wontons," "Dynamite Shrimp" or "Spring Rolls," which are crispy, Vietnamese-style rolls served with Bibb lettuce leaves for wrapping, cilantro and sweet chili sauce. I'm such a sucker for spring rolls, and I look forward to trying the version at P.F. Chang's one day. "Crispy Honey Chicken": I got this for my entrée--the BF decided to order something else and just have a taste of my entrée, since I am the pickier of us two--and I'd definitely order it again because I loved the flavor. It features lightly battered chicken that's served in a sweet, flavorful sauce over a bed of crispy rice sticks. You can even opt for "Crispy Honey Shrimp" that's lightly battered and tossed in a flavorful sauce. If I were craving shrimp, I would get the shrimp option, but I loved the tender pieces of chicken that were sufficiently coated in that sweet, honey glaze. "Ginger Chicken with Broccoli": The BF decided on this entrée, which included sliced chicken breast tossed with ginger and green onions and served in a ring of steamed broccoli. If you like ginger, you're sure to like this entrée. I tried a bit of the chicken, and I did enjoy its flavor (I like ginger, but not super strong ginger, so this entrée was okay). The BF really enjoyed this dish because it was a good mix of proteins and veggies (broccoli is one of his favorite vegetables). Dessert: For our dessert option, the BF wanted to try the "Banana Spring Rolls," which included six warm, crispy bites with coconut-pineapple ice cream and was drizzled with caramel and vanilla sauces. I was hesitant at first because I don't like coconut OR pineapple flavors--and I'm not the hugest fan of bananas, too--but since the fruits came fried in that crispy, spring roll exterior, that made it more appealing. I have to admit, this is a unique dessert that IS worth trying, if you like all of its components. I had one of the spring rolls just to taste, but the BF ended up eating most of the dessert. The ice cream flavor was light, but I knew I wouldn't like it just because it featured two flavors I already wasn't a fan of. I did, however, enjoy the sweet taste and crunchy texture of the banana spring rolls. read more

Used Open Table to make reservations for dinner. I was hoping to get a table outside to people watch, but it was raining. We accepted a table upstairs and "outside" but it is completely covered. It seemed that it took a bit long before we were waited on however, the moment Nikole showed up she was on point. We decided to do the pre fix for 2. It is $56 and a choice of 2 soups, 1 appetizer, 2 entreés, 2 scoops of ice cream or 1 larger selection. I got the egg drop soup and my husband got the hot and sour and we ordered the crab wontons. The soups came out very hot, which is good, and the wontons were rather delicious. I chose the beef with broccoli with white rice. It came out after a decent amount of time to allow everything to settle. I didn't finish it since I knew dessert was coming. We got the cheesecake which adds another 2 bucks, but it was worth it. It was very creamy and the crust was good. We both ordered the Ultimate Mai Tai which comes in a tumbler. Since we are local, we tried getting them in regular glasses, but you can't. You also can't use the free appetizer yelp offer in addition to the pre fix menu. The coupon has to be used with the purchase of 2 entrees. The food was good for an upscale chinese restaurant. It is a chain restaurant, so if you have eaten at one then it is all the same. Since we walked from the hotel, I'm not sure how parking works. read more

Talk about slow slow service. One server handling just about half the 1st floor. But it isn't like the tables inside or outside was full. Maybe 5 or 6 tables occupied when we were there. From receiving our menu, getting water, getting our drink order, getting our order taken, getting a to go box, check, then getting back our credit card.... slow as molasses Watched our waiter and you can tell she wasn't very efficient. We received our appetizer before we got our ordered drinks. We handed her the check with our credit card. She was on her way somewhere but if we miss her, we won't see her for another 5-10 minutes. She seemed inconvenienced or by our request for a check. Mind you, this is after a full experience of slow service. We watch as she then decides that keeping the check/credit card in her back pocket as she goes to clean off dishes from a table (people at the table left already, they were just dishes they left behind) was more important, as well as taking a big order from a different table, then printing out a different table's check, disappearing for awhile and then finally printing our check handing us back our card was the most efficient route. We couldn't even ask another waiter to help because no one was around other than what looked like the hostess or perhaps they were a manager - walking around from time to time to clear dishes. We've got things to do too. Can you hire more waiters? Better yet, more waiters who are efficient at what they do? read more

Actually 2.5 stars.... Let's just first talk about the birds. Yes, I understand it's inevitable because they are all over the place, but they should totally designate one person to watch for the birds because they were all up on the tables pecking away at bits of food...and moments later a couple was seated at that same table. *gag* Gross. But I'll give it to PF Chang's because they do have a vegetarian AND gluten-free menu. That's a cool place in my book.... The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great....just happy to know it was vegetarian. Yelp 365 Challenge #181/365 read more

Overpriced. Bad "Asian" food. Tourist trap. So busy. Very slow service. Avoid if you want good Asian food.

Came here with a friend for lunch and ordered the BBQ ribs, Sushi, and the other flavor of Ribs not to sure what the name was. Me and my friend went at the time it wasn't busy ( around 2pm). We got seats right away and got great service. I really enjoyed the service and food here. Like I thought the sushi would be a little weird like taste wise but I was wrong the Sushi here was fresh and was made the way I wanted it to be! The Ribs were delicious but a little to spicy for me. My friend munched down that ribs like it was nothing lol. I really enjoy my visit here and hope to come again. also if you check in here you get a free appetizer with your meal. So come on down and try this place out! read more

Meeh...maybe a little better than panda express... I've eaten here for lunch numerous times at both locations. I don't see a reason to come back here. The lunch menu is cheaper, but still reaching 9 dollars, which isn't that cheap. I would not eat here for dinner. Bigger portions doesn't translate into better quality food. I've tried the mongolian beef and spicy chicken lunch dishes. I was disappointed at both. The only thing I liked was the coleslaw. It felt like an upscale panda express, but only a little bit better. Oh, and the fortune cookies were stale. The food and the atmosphere felt a little contrived to me. I'd rather eat at some authentic Chinese restaurant. Bring on the msg, rude workers, and dirty kitchen... read more

The store is very different that any PFCB you've been to on the Mainland. Many of the dishes reflect the islands. A big menu for sushi rolls and a very unique whole, deep fried, Red Snapper. There seems to always be a wait for table no matter what time of day. The bar is a nice, with two TV's. The service can be great or not. It's not my favorite stop, but my two friends from the my local PFCB worked there, so it was a pleasant reunion. read more

Everything was above average but nothing was over the top. Really enjoyed our sweet and sour chicken, crispy honey shrimp and crab wontons. Kids enjoyed the Keiki size portions of their meals and they came with free drinks and ice cream and for a fairly decent price. Service was good to, we had a waitress in training that did a good job. She was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We got out of of there with our bank account only $83 lighter! Mahalo for a nice experience. Maybe ditch the picture taking guy, the pressure to spend money on a picture shouldn't be part of your dining experience. At the least have him ask before motioning to us to gather close for a picture...... Not everyone is a tourist. read more

P.F. Chang's - The aftermath! Sweet and sour chicken was ONO! - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It was a great dinner and service tonight-lettuce wraps, Mongolian beef and Phad tai. Very reasonable prices for the area!!

I'm definitely a fan of this place. Why did I not go here any sooner? I've been to the one near J Salon. And that was pretty bomb. I just forgot what I ate there. Anyways, I had the lettuce wraps which were BOMB! The other entrees I had were amazing too. I haven't disliked ANYTHING I got here. Most the stuff I just don't remember. I just look around at everyone's plates around us, ask the waitor what it is and then order it. Perfect place for a date or nice sitting with the family to eat a great dinner. Prices are exceptionally reasonable given the great atmosphere and awesome food. It is two stories which is cool. We had our picture taken by a photographer and it's $15 per. read more

We had a party of ten. So to make things easier, we decided to just order from the prix-fixe menu three times. With that, we had... - three orders of the hot & sour soup and egg drop soup - one order of the chicken lettuce wraps, crab wontons, and calamari - 2 orders of mongolian beef, orange peel chicken, and crispy honey shrimp And, with left overs still. Food was so-so. The hot & sour soup was too sour. The egg drop soup was definitely not your traditional egg drop soup but it was good. The crab wontons were 90% wonton and 10% crab. Although the chicken was good in the chicken lettuce appetizers, about half of the lettuce were already browning. I had high hopes for the crispy honey shrimp, but it ended up being a dud. In fact, I could not really tell the difference between the crispy honey shrimp and the orange peel chicken. The flavors were just too similar. The mongolian beef, however, was pretty delicious - a lot of flavor without being too salty. For dessert, we shared a nice size piece of chocolate cake with a variety of ice cream (coconut, mango, and vanilla). Dessert was good but not spectacular. Service was on point! I forgot our waiter's name, but he was so nice and very, very attentive. We did pay roughly around $40 a person (this does include alcoholic beverages) but with the quality and quantity of the food, not really worth it. read more

There are much better Pan-Asian restaurants on the island, and with better prices. They're not hard to find in Honolulu! We had gift cards to spend, so we made a reservation here - it was nice that we could do that on a Friday night in Waikiki. The lettuce wraps are predictably tasty, but everything else leaves much to be desired. Garlic shrimp was too delicately-flavored, and the lemon chicken, with a nice crispy tempura-style coating and citrusy sauce, wasn't a very bold flavor, either. The food isn't BAD, it's just not GREAT. And entrees can run ~$18, which I feel is too spendy for what you get. Props, though, for a free appetizer just for checking in on the Yelp app! My dining partner ordered the top-shelf margarita, but couldn't detect any Grand Marnier in it (which is what makes a margarita, if you ask him). He mentioned this to our server, who demurred, saying that the bartender mixes everything together, rather than floating the GM on top, so the taste of it may have been diluted. She suggested she could bring a shot of GM to top off his drink. He agreed, and once he tasted it, he was certain it was originally left out. When we got our check, we had a $1 charge for a liqueur floater. We didn't quibble, because it was only a dollar, but come on. If there's even a chance your bartender may have left out an ingredient, and you offer to fix it, it's poor form to then charge us for it. We sat outside, but at the last table on the end next to the Starbucks patio. There is absolutely NO divider between the PF Changs tables and the Starbucks tables, so it felt like we were sharing our dining space with everybody sucking down their frappuccinos, which totally detracted from the experience. Too many missed marks here to recommend. read more

Although it is more on the expensive side, PF Changs is considered to be one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. Because it is in Waikiki, that explains why it is so expensive and it's always filled with tourists. This place is pretty much always too busy and packed but me and my family always find our way into getting seated sooner because my cousin works here :-) Food is always on point....MOST of the time. Always fresh, hot, and served perfectly. But don't get me wrong, some of their dishes can get a bit too salty, depending on who cooks it. I haven't been here too much to the point where I know the entire menu but I did get to try a variety of different things that I really enjoyed. I won't name all of them but you'll see it in my pictures! I don't get to eat Chinese food very often because I'd still hate to consume all that MSG. But then again, PF Changs is a unique Chinese restaurant that has very wonderful flavors in some of their dishes that you don't get to taste in regular Chinese restaurants. Oh, and practically everything on their appetizer selection is so yummy! Just wanted to point that out. Service is 3 stars. It's okay some nights, and really bad on some other nights. It's Waikiki though.... Most restaurants in Waikiki don't always have the best service because it's one of the tourist attractions here on O'ahu. When I come here, service is always mediocre. Did I mention how loud it gets in here? I can barely hear anything that the waiters are saying, so you kind of have to tell them to speak up most of the time especially since Hard Rock is nearby. Other than that, this place deserves 4 stars. It is certainly more high-priced, but it is quality food. read more

This review is for their new location on Lewers St. in the "Boardwalk" section of Waikiki which I could not find on YELP. The Boardwalk is a nicely done section of Waikiki that "T"s off of Kalakaua Ave up near the Sheraton Waikiki. Very clean. Great stores. And happy to say...no bums. Sorry if that offends anyone but for some reason the Diamond Head end of Kalakaua has really become over run with homeless pan handlers which turned us off from walking down there very much this trip. Last night here and we are doing some last minute shopping on The Boardwalk when my wife says, "How about PF Changs for dinner?" Neither of us had been there before and I did not check my YELP reviews ahead of time but I recall hearing over the years that PF Changs was pretty okay. Especially the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. So why not? We were warmly greeted and seated right away on the patio. Perfect for people watching. Not only was our hostess very friendly but our server "Bing" turned out to be most delightful. We were honest about never eating at a PF Changs and both our hostess and our server highly recommended the "Dinner for Two" which included soup, appetizer, two entrees and dessert for $46. Now THAT is a deal in Waikiki. I had heard about the lettuce wraps and noticed as we were being seated that several of the tables around us were enjoying these "Chinese Tacos". We placed our order: Egg drop soup Chicken lettuce wraps Almond Cashew Chicken Crispy Honey Shrimp My wife squealed with delight when she saw it was a Coke place. I cannot say enough how pleasant and attentive our server "Bing" was in checking with us several times throughout the meal and just sharing the "Aloha" spirit of genuine friendliness. We had a wonderful chat about where she was from in Hong Kong and where we were from in Oregon. "Bing" showed us how to mix the sauces and how to eat the wraps....even though we already had a pretty good idea.....it was very conscientious of her to swing by and make sure we had figured everything out. The food: Egg Drop Soup was good. Better than most. Chicken Lettuce Wraps.....delicious. "Bing" even noticed we had run out of lettuce leaves and quickly brought us back just the right amount...two...to finish off the chicken filling. Almond Cashew Chicken. Tasty. We would get it again, but not until we had tried some other dishes. I sold this one to my wife saying, "It's probably a lot like Chicken Almond Subgum". One of her favorites back home. It was similar, but not the same. We enjoyed how the chicken was more sliced as opposed to cut into cubes / chunks. Crispy Honey Shrimp was my wife's favorite and this was the one she was least happy about ordering. We would definitely order this one again. For dessert, "Bing" offered us a selection of 7 or so mini-desserts. Trying to remember, there was tiramasu, chocolate cream, cheesecake, lemon cream and apple. When "Bing" brought them out, they were these little over-sized shot glass type cups of dessert. Very cute. My wife devoured hers...the cheesecake. I had a few bites of mine....the lemon cream....and decided I was more than satisfied. Out the door with tax and tip.....$62. Again, hell of a deal in Waikiki. Excellent food. Excellent service. Great location. We'll definitely add PF Changs on The Boardwalk to our list of places to frequent on future visits. read more

I've been to P.F. Chang's a few times when I've travelled to the US and enjoyed it so I like to go and have a good Chinese meal. We went for a late lunch and the restaurant wasn't very busy. The server was friendly and prompt with service. I decided to have a chow mein noodle dish and my husband had the pepper steak with rice. I found the portion sizes large when they came out. I was expecting my noodles to be more like the crisp thin yellow egg noodles but they were thicker and not crispy. I found there to be too much sauce and it was too salty. The pepper steak was good with a little bit of spice and came with lots of veggies. We both decided to try a dessert and they were served in a cute little serving cup with spoon. I like my apple pie dessert and it was just the right size after a large meal. The price was reasonable as well and dessert was not as much as the meal price. Although the food this time wasn't as good as previous visits, I will go back next time I'm in the US. read more

Great outdoor patio I definitely enjoyed the Experience in my previous trip to Hawaii, very different than the PFChangs close to home.

We made a reservation through Open Table and were promptly seared (unfortunately they neglected to do their part with OT and I had to validate we did make our reservation). The waiter was friendly enough and took our orders. Unfortunately asking for the soup as an appetizer was mixed up. We received the meals, asked to forgetful the soup since it didn't come Earlier. Then someone came to the table with the soup while eating the meal. Timing was not the greatest. The staff was accommodating to remove it from the bill. Overall, it's a chain restaurant- the food was good, service was okay and the meal was quick. read more

Went to P.F. Chang's this past Sunday for the Paint Nite Event. The event was upstairs, so after checking in with the instructor, we seated ourselves and waited for the server. After a few minutes, some of us decided to help ourselves to the menus. There was only about 15 minutes before the event started and debated if we should even order. The server came out from the kitchen with waters and went to each booth, taking orders. We decided on the lettuce wraps to start, keeping our tab open. Food came out super fast. Faster than the plates, utensils or napkins, so again, we helped ourselves to what we could. It's understandable that with the event and only one server, it would be a little hectic but still disappointing for customers. During the break we also ordered orange chicken and kim chee fried rice (both were eaten before they could be photographed.) -Lettuce Wraps: according to the menu, is their most popular appetizer. It was good, but so hard for me to compare to my favorite little hole in the wall Chinese restaurants. -Orange Chicken: similar to Panda's but with a nice touch of fresh orange slices. -Kim Chee Fried Rice: not too overwhelming but enough kim chee cooked into the fried rice. sunny egg on top Service may be different/better during regular dinning as opposed to an event but I would still prefer more authentic Chinese food at a little hole in the wall for a quarter of the price and with equal or less service. FYI- Currently, "checking in" on YELP will get you 1 free appetizer with the purchase of 2 entrees. read more

Bottom Line: This place is like a fancy Panda Express. So we were given a $50 GC to this place for Christmas last year. Silly me, I thought they were in Ala Moana but I guess that location closed a while back (goes to show you how much I avoid town side). So this past Labor Day we decided to get a sitter and have a lunch date. We showed up around 1200 and surprisingly they were not that busy. We were seated immediately at one of their inside booths. We waited for our server and then ordered our drinks when he came by. I got a strawberry lemonade in a keepsake cup. I tried to get just a glass of it, because let's face it, no one really wants yet another cup in their kitchen, but the server said they only sell it in the $9 cup. Mind you, it only comes with ONE REFILL. In that time, I began perspiring profusely. I know it's been humid, but it felt like the AC was off. We asked to be seated outside where it was much cooler with the trade winds, although I think it messed up our server as he was rarely seen. We used our Yelp check in to get the free appetizer, although if you like soup and dessert the meal for two at $57 might be the better option for you just know that you can't use the free yelp appetizer with it. For our free appetizer, we got the lettuce wraps that everyone raved about. I was a little skeptical, but it was actually super good. I really enjoyed the crisp lettuce with the saltiness of the chicken mixture. My husband though, said it tasted like leftovers thrown together. I ordered the Crispy Honey Shrimp based off another Yelpers review of the chicken version and my husband got the Sweet and Sour Chicken. Our entrees came with a small bowl each of Chinese style rice, not sticky rice. I should have known, but still I was disappointed. The shrimp though, was on point!!! I liked how you could taste the shrimp, indicating its freshness. The batter was light, not too greasy, and the sauce was sweet but not overpowering. If you like the honey walnut shrimp from Pandas, you will like this because it taste very similar but better. The sweet and sour chicken, I did not care for. While it was the juiciest ss chicken I have had, I did not like the sauce and preferred my veggies a little more cooked. The sauce was... I don't know... bland but with a tart bite? It just was not anything like what you associate sweet and sour with, whether tradition or Panda style. The veggies were raw. I mean, like chopped up, tossed with the sauce and chicken and put on a plate. I like crunch to my veggies, but I don't like it raw like that. Like I had mentioned before, we rarely saw our server. And when we did, he wasn't as friendly as expected for a higher scale Waikiki restaurant's server. I had to track him down to get more free lettuce cups, and more than once did our drinks go empty. But funny when I asked for our check, his tone changed, and became friendly and even tried to get me a second "unauthorized" refill on my lemonade. He made sure we enjoyed our meal, which in my experience as a server and customer you always ask them this shortly after getting their food. Lame dude. The bill comes with a convenient little tool telling you how much to give as a tip, starting at 15%. Our server took the time to highlight that gratuity was not included. I decided to give him a little over 15% even though I really felt like he didn't do his part to deserve it. But he did get me that extra refill... lol. For the appetizer, two entrees, a drink, and my $9 refillable cup our total came out to $54 with tax. Not bad I suppose as we were both stuffed. It's the wraps that are so filling, I think. Before leaving we got our parking validated which gave us an hour free, so parking was only $2. Bottom Line: I enjoyed the food here, but it wasn't spectacular. It really is just a fancier version of Panda's food. My service was pretty crappy. The location for me sucked. This is not some place that a local girl like me would frequent. But if I got a GC again, I would probably come back here and not re-gift it. read more

The food was delicious. The ambiance is relaxing and the service was good. The service was friendly.

We made our reservation for 7:15, but got there at about 6:30, and asked the hostess if we could be seated early. The answer was yes, but the service she gave was a no. We got our ticket and went to the upstairs terrace, where we were promptly seated. We used a yelp check in, and got a free small plate (with the purchase of two entrees) We got the Chang's Lettuce Wrap and Crispy Honey Chicken, and Ginger Chicken with Broccoli. The lettuce wrap came out fast, and it was much better than I expected. The mixture of chicken, mushrooms (shiitake, I think?), water chestnuts, and green onions was a pleasant combination. However, I didn't like the fact that they put it over rice crisps. They put all their foods on top of rice crisps. Why. They get soggy after sitting under the food for a while. The Crispy Honey Chicken was like the Panda's Orange Chicken on crack. The portions for both entrees were smaller than I expected for the price. The Ginger Chicken with Broccoli came with a very, very generous helping of broccoli. Lots of broccoli. So. Much. Broccoli. The chicken was a little spicy, but nothing too intolerable. Each "Main Entree" also comes with a side of rice (white or brown) Overall, our server was great and the food was excellent. Turnover rate seemed fairly quick. The only thing I would dock off stars for is the portion size, and the horrible hostess in the front. I figured she might have been training, which I totally praise her for - hosting isn't an easy job. But at least have the courtesy to look at someone when you're talking to them, and don't ignore me when I ask a question. read more

Ordered here on uber eats and the fried rice was not good at all. Overcooked, bland, and not delicious at all. Beef was also over cooked.

For everyone who says, "But PF Changs doesn't serve Chinese food?!" My answer is: I agree, but they have good food if you know what to order. To be fair, part of why I might like PF Changs is because I started going there years ago back in Tyson's Corner Mall back in Virginia, when it was so difficult to even get Asian flavors. But even still, I like their chicken lettuce wraps--which I have now converted to ordering the tofu lettuce wraps and it's quite good. I eat half of it for dinner and the other half for leftover lunch. I try to avoid ordering the more "chinese" dishes like the noodle dishes and such because I'd rather go to Maple Garden for that kind of stuff. The eggplant dishes can get a little oily and the chicken/eggplant dish, just read carefully--I think last time I had it it was like ground chicken and I dislike ground chicken in my dishes like that. I had somehow thought it'd be slices of chicken breast. Thank goodness they stopped doing the whole show of mixing sauces. At this point I'd rather them just give it to me and I'll do it myself. One time we went to the Waikiki location the server must have had a case of the Monday's because boy was she a grouch. She made sure that we all knew how much she hated her job. But this past weekend we went on a Sunday and our server was just fine. So service isn't consistent but you don't go there because of service. And heck sometimes it's nice to go into Waikiki and see what "the scene" is like for all the tourists. And it's FREE validated parking. Kind of crappy parking lot that we always end up on level 2349875 but it's free and you don't free parking in Waikiki all that often. Oh and they're on opentable! read more

Our waiter was a pleasure and it was quite busy being in Waikiki. I asked for some wonton soup with no shrimp. First time there was shrimp. I'm allergic. No deathly but doesn't agree with me. Second, completely void of meat. Our waiter was really nice. He talked to the manager. Got our drinks comped. Did the right thing. We were waiting pretty long. But I had a tv, beer and pretty lady in front of me, so it wasn't too bad. Then a fresh sake. I tipped him the pre comp amount. We're all human. Even when things go wrong, a good server will keep the tensions low. The food is pretty good and consistent. I keep those four stars because of the handling of the situation. read more

P.F. Chang's - Tempura roll - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The day was Black Friday. The time was noon. The location was Waikiki Beach. The customers were my wife and I. Background: We spent the night in Waikiki although we are "loco moco's" and don't need to... however, a "stacation" (stay vacation to us locals) was in need because I'd been locked-up at home for months since my wife went to Japan for family business... anyway,... It was Black Friday and we decided to chance the traffic and crowds and venture on foot to the restaurant. Action: We found the front of the restaurant to be welcoming and-open aired. We were met by the manager and she, along with the hostess, escorted us to the bar. It was clean and easy to locate, partake in the environment. The waitress "Jenny" was SUPER!!! She is tops in the Oahu customer service business for bars and restaurants... She was friendly (super friendly) from the start and carried on throughout our time there. I sincerely didn't want to leave. Why leave a Super place (food, drink, and people) when you can only expect to find standard or substandard service elsewhere in Waikiki Beach? We ordered a Beer and an Ice Tea. It was served promptly and COLD. That's honestly something to consider when drinking in Waikiki... Jenny has a personality that is bubbly and cheerful, happy and glee, and last to say, someone you desire to have a drink poured by. She is that wonderful... We had the Crispy Fried Green Beans as the appetizer and it was, as Jenny said it would be... STUPENDOUS!! I have never had such an awesome beer snack in ages since my trip to Japan. The beans were, YES, crispy and added a little salt to the batter, made them with the dipping sauce... outrageously good! Epilog: I honestly MUST say that the service from the Manager (whose name I failed to ascertain) and the bartender Jenny were unparalleled. My wife and I, were so very much pleasantly surprised to find this kind of service within the Waikiki area of tourism. CHEERS to the staff and management of P.F. Chang's Waikiki Beach. You deserved the Kudos... Cheers mates!!! read more

P.F. Chang's - Crispy Green Beans are so GOOD! - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love this place! Chang's Spicy Chicken is sooo good! Love the Lettuce Wraps. Fried green bean appetizer is delicious and huge!

Walked in to no wait time, although it was around 5pm. It's a really nice ambience here, really relaxed and chill. Started off with a Mai Tai and virgin Daiquiri for the wife. Very tasty. Ordered the Dynamite Shrimp and they are marvelous! Ordered some Spring Rolls as well. I got the Singapore Steet Noodles and my wife got the Sesame Chicken with Brown Rice. I will say that the Spring Rolls were a bit greasy but the dipping sauce was AMAZING. Overall, everything g was very good. read more

This was my family's first time ever visiting a P.F. Chang's! This restaurant has the smallest portion of food that I have ever seen in my entire life at any restaurant. You would think for the prices they charge, they would dish out good size portions of food...NOPE! You literally need to order "two" adult entrees in order to get your fill. This place is all about portion control! If you like food and you like to get filled up on food...DO NOT COME HERE! If you don't mind paying a lot of money for scrapes...this is your place! Great service...I will say that! read more
