**Updated Visit from March 5, 2026** I visited around my BIRTHDAY in February to redeem my FREE BIRTHDAY OFFER of FREE Edamame + A FREE Appetizer. The website let me know that I had to Dine-In to redeem my offer. I was able to order my Appetizer, The Dynamite Shrimp online though for pick up. I arrived at the location and found a good sparking spot. I went to the pick up area and found James & John (the manager) there talking. They welcomed me with a warm and kind hello and after I told them that I was there to pick up my online order. I showed them my phone where I got a BIRTHDAY offer for Edmame and asked them if it was okay to add it to my pick up order instead of dining in. I believe it was John, who politely said, "Yeah sure, I think that would be alright. You're pretty kind so let's make that happen for you" Oh, I was sooo thrilled!! It just made my birthday celebration day even better that they would accommodate me that way! Not only were they accommodating, but they were just so kind and sweet and upbeat and warm! James was telling me all about his affiliation with the restaurant as I was waiting for my order to be completed. He gave me history on the restaurant, his position and how often the place gets busy. Thanks James! And also thank you, to John! That interaction alone deserves a 5/5 My food ended up being ready after some time and I'll tell you, I REALLY ENJOYED THE DYNAMITE SHRIMP! It lives up to its name!! I really liked the greens mixed in with the sriracha aioli! It wasn't too spicy at all but it did pack a punch! I also enjoyed the Edamame. I hadn't had it before. It reminds me of overstuffed Green Beans! Haha. Since I had never tried it, I thought to eat the outside but it turned out to be too hard for me. So I ended up opening it up and eating the seed inside. Pretty tasty after that, haha Overall I give my entire experience + food a total of 6 stars! I'll definitely be back again soon! This was my second time at this location read more

We visited P.F. Chang's in Mission Viejo for a Valentine's lunch on 2/14/26 and had a truly excellent experience from start to finish. The hostess greeted us warmly and seated us in a roomy, comfortable area that made the meal feel relaxed and special right away. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, making the whole experience enjoyable from helping with our drink selections through our final bite. The service never felt rushed, just attentive and thoughtful. The food was outstanding. The peppered filet was cooked perfectly tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The shrimp pasta was equally impressive, fresh, well-balanced, and absolutely delicious. One of the managers, Josh, stopped by and was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which added an extra level of care to our visit. We highly recommend this location. Ask for Josh, you won't be disappointed. read more

My son and I were looking for a casual lunch and P.F Chang's was the perfect spot. We each had an entree. I had Mongolian Beef and he had the Honey Shrimp. The portions were perfect for one person and they were served with a large side of rice. The bar drinks were refreshing and not overly sweet. The service was outstanding. Will definitely stop by again when visiting the mall. read more

Just had THE WORST meal my husband and I have ever had. Egg drop soup tasted like it was burned. It had an acrid flavor. Next the waiter put in my order incorrectly so my husband's food turned cold while they corrected my order. When, finally, my order was delivered (beef and broccoli) the broccoli was ice cold underneath the beef. My husband's fried rice was so greasy he only ate 3 bites, then pushed it away. We will never go back. PF Changs used to be pretty good...such a shame. read more

We went to the Mission Viego Mall and ate at PF Changs. This is a huge restaurant with many empty tables and booths. The AC was wonderful. Our waiter brought to us menus and we ordered. When the salad came, I just asked to be sure that it had sesame dressing and no peanuts, since we do have a peanut allergy. His response was, "I don't know, so I need to ask." Long story short, the manager informed me that any questions about ingredients need to be run through the manager. I felt this is strange. Why doesn't the staff know if there are peanuts in the food since it is the most serious type of allergy? The food was good. We had a good time. The portions were a bit small for the price. That is what gives this place a three star score. If you go inside the mall, there is a food court where your dollar gets you more food for the price. read more

I haven't had this place in a very long time I decided to give it a go. I was not disappointed. Far from your typical Chinese restaurant. It's great offers a variety of items that an affordable price. Portions are extremely generous. I couldn't decide between the honey chicken or the honey shrimp, so my waitress give me the best of both worlds: half shrimp half chicken. I didn't even know you could do that! The chicken was pleasantly tender on the inside, would they light crispy golden batter on the outside. Perfectly zesty and not to overwhelming! I love the decor inside, which adds to the authentic Asian experience. read more

I went to have dinner here with a friend on 11/23/25. Food was below average, price was very high, service was very poor. Our waitress was Michelle, she needs to be trained to give a better service. Me and my family have been dining here for many many years, will give this place a break for now. read more

Staff was amazing and helpful explaining the menu and making sure we were comfortable. We ordered food to go and sat at the bar to wait. Unfortunately the food was not great. Main courses were very oily and bland. The soups were alright but I just didn't prefer the flavors. Egg roll was alright. Salad was basic. The restaurant was pretty empty and very clean. Wouldn't go back. Entire meal was ~$55 read more

We haven't been to this PFChang's in a while so decided to dine here tonight. The restaurant was full, all tables and bar top were filled with diners. Everything was great. We had Michelle as our server and she was wonderful although she was extremely busy with some very large tables. She was quick in getting us what we needed and was very pleasant. I also want to give credit to the male server that was taking care of that couple next to us. He overheard us talking about extra lettuce for the lettuce wraps and asked us if we needed some. At the end, when we were leaving, he asked if everything was okay. Not sure if he was the manager or a server but that was definitely terrific. So great to see the excellent service among all staff at this PFChang's location! Appetizer: chicken lettuce wraps. This is always the best at PFChang's. Never failed. No one can compete although many restaurants have coped this dish. Seriously. Sesame chicken: fantastic! When hubby said he was going to order this dish, I thought, hmm, not sure about that. But it proved I was wrong and turned out to be so much better than I thought. It was delicious. Chicken with broccoli. Not as good as their beef with broccoli, which they are known for, but we were trying to eat healthy since we have been eating so much beef lately, so ordered it. The sauce with kind of watery and runny. We had this dish here before and it was better. It was still okay though, not too bad. Prices are about higher than most chinese restaurants but rent of course isn't cheap in this mall. We will be back. read more

The food took a long time to arrive and they were not very busy. The Mongolian beef was overcooked and dry with large raw green onion stalks. The king chicken was missing the step where the kung pao sauce is added, tasing like fried chicken i instead. The noodles were given in a small bowl and provided only about 2/3. Overall food was lacking. Good and service have. Lacking. We will try a different location and take a last shot before giving up on this chain. read more

I had lunch here with a friend. The service was good, but the food was not. I had the "chicken teriyaki." It was a weird mix of fried bits of chicken with small bits of pineapple in a thin white sauce. It was not appetizing, and I only ate part of it. I have had much better Chinese food at the ubiquitous, small, family-run, places. We chose P.F. Chang's as a good place to talk. However, at first the blaring spotify-type music drowned out our conversation. But, at our request, they willingly turned it down where we were seated; with that improvement, I give the dining area high marks for "ambiance." The men's restroom was dark and dank. It was filthy; disgusting. The floor in the stalls was stained and looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. There was something unidentifiable caked on the grab bar. The sinks looked like they were made of dark brown cement and were also stained. The soap dispenser was out of order--not good in a place so dirty, and where we were having a meal. read more

Went for an after work dinner with my co-workers. Food came out fast, we got the dumplings for an appetizer, it was a little cold and they sent it back and got us a new one without hesitation. Our server Michelle was incredible, great service, very knowledagble and friendly. Atmosphere is nice, but lots of dirty tables around us. read more

Best food ever Igot dumplings and they so good and best food ever i love it keep up yhe good work

Our service from the hostess to the food server to the food runners were exceptional. I would highly recommend the feast for two. The presentation of the BbQ ribs was phenomenal. Presented with a clear glass top. When the top was removed you could see and smell the smoke. My husband loved the California sushi. The long noodles with prawns was my favorite. But? Let's not forget the delicious butter cake. It was a perfect dining experience. read more

Sat at the bar on a Thursday night for dinner. Service was great, our server was very friendly and helpful. Food came out quick, was hot, and tasty. Reservations accepted but not required. Good for groups. Ok for kids. Small pets allowed on Patio. read more

We had a wonderful lunch at PF Chang's in Mission Viejo. Justin was our amazing server assisted by the wonderful Ali and James. We started with the Hot and Sour soup which was delicious and yes a bit spicy. Ali poured our soup and appeared to love her job and the people she served. We then ordered our entrees with the Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef with low mein and egg fried rice. James brought out the food and was gracious in doing so. The staff here are awesome. The dishes were cooked to perfection and there was certainly enough to take home for lunch the next day. The ambiance was positive and vibrant. We had a great time and enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience. Highly recommended. read more

Had a fantastic dining experience on Friday evening. Between the service, and the quality of food even 5 stars is not enough. Kai was our server and he took excellent care of us. This is a perfect scenario where you are getting service for something you would expect at a several hundred dollar dinner, but at a fraction of the cost. We decided to go with their $21 per person three item special. Highly recommend this if you are looking to spend around $50. You will have plenty of food, and likely will have leftovers. Ordered the hot and sour soup. They make one of the best ones out there in my opinion. For the next item, we went with the chicken lettuce wraps, which is always a good choice. Tonight it seemed to be even better than normal. Finally I ordered the Lo mein noodles with shrimp. Fantastic choice with plenty of fresh shrimp. I was already very hungry, and I still had leftovers. The other party member ordered the honey chicken. She was very satisfied with it. There was not even one mediocre portion to our experience, which is why I say 5 stars is not enough. Josh, the on duty manager, checked in with us. He is very cordial and friendly, and made us feel very welcome. I have only been here twice in the last four months. Based on this experience, I will be coming here far more often. read more

I visited this restaurant while I was at the Shops at Mission Viejo. The decor inside is very nice. The hostess was very friendly and sat us at a table since I walk with a cane. The menu has a wide selection of dishes and lunch specials. Each lunch special comes with a choice of soup or salad. When our salad arrived, we asked if the dressing had peanuts since I have a peanut allergy. He didn't know and said that he would have to ask. Another server didn't know either. We found out that questions about allergens would have to be run by the manager. I felt that this is strange since a peanut allergy can be extremely severe. The food tastes ok but the portions were small read more

I've been here several times but finally decided to write a review. The location is fine, it's right next to the mall food court and has plenty of parking around it. Service has been hit or miss. Last time the waitress was very nice but didn't come around at all. So we had to ask for utensils or things like that from anybody who passed the table. The food was ok, it seems like the quality has declined over the years. I had honey shrimp that was fairly good. My wife had Mongolian Beef that tasted fine but was overcooked and tough. It was more like Mongolian Jerky. We also got the lettuce wraps which were good, but the lettuce leaves were small and they didn't really give us many, so we had to ask for more. Overall for the price it just wasn't worth it. read more

P.F. Chang's - Crispy Honey Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Nice location in The Shops at Mission Viejo with easy access, high ceilings mitigating the noise. We used to patronize this one many times over the years and always liked the Southeast Asian angle of the menu but that has all but disappeared. This visit was very disappointing because it seemed that someone forgot to season the dishes--literally lacking flavor across the board. Add into this that the appetizer and the soups and salad all came at the same time. This was on the Chef's Feast. The main dish arrived before my wife finished half the soup, so dish delivery timing apparently is not high priority in training. The bartender took 10-12 minutes to come up to speed but was fine after that. The manager removed the food from the check to compensate, which we greatly appreciated. read more

My husband and I went out tonight to have dinner. I have multiple food allergies that can make it difficult sometimes. Ended up at PF Changs. Josh, one of the managers, went Over and Above to work with us on my order. Was very impressed with his knowledge and suggestions. Kai, our server, was Amazing. Very professional and quick. Definitely will be back!! read more

Came here for lunch for a birthday celebration. It's conveniently located in a shopping mall, and it's a chain restaurant you can rely on. We started with chicken lettuce wraps. They are always tasty and it's a large serving. You can never go wrong ordering this yummy appetizer. We also both got the hot and sour soup. My only complaint was it wasn't hot enough. I probably should have asked them to reheat it. It was flavorful with just the right amount of sourness. I got the lunch size Kung Pao shrimp and it was definitely a large enough serving for lunch. Full of flavor and I like it with the steamed rice. The place is clean, and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back. read more

The service was horrible, the food was slow to get delivered and was over cooked. They were about 1/2 full and they forgot items we ordered and even delivered the wrong items. When we pointed out the error the said sorry and walked away. They didn't even fix it. If you are vegan or have allergies DONT GO HERE. They said even the sushi was premade and could not leave off the mayonnaise! Thinly had one item without egg on the main menu including the sushi!! read more

I ordered delivery from here. The dinner entree, Beef Lo Mein came with literally 4 small pieces of beef. I looked under the noodles as well hoping beef was hidden, sadly no. This is all the beef it came with. Not to mention, there are no peanuts in it either (and the description says it comes with them). This is the 2nd terrible experience I've had from this location. I regret giving them a second chance. The San Diego location is amazing! This one is absolutely terrible. DO NOT come here or order food from this location! read more

I'm a fan of PF Chang's. Of all the times I've been here, I've never been disappointed. Yes, it's a commercial restaurant, and I don't know how traditional or not the food is, but I do know that I like their menu and food. A Lot! I try not to eat too much gluten and P.F. Chang's accommodates this request real well. We always start by ordering the GF chicken lettuce wraps. So so so good! Fresh crisp lettuce cups, perfectly seasoned and sautéed chicken, and a dipping sauce that gives it the perfect finish. This time around my husband and I order the pad Thai with shrimp and I thought it was delicious. Light and flavorful and filling. Service is always great. I say try it! read more

very disappointed. The food is not as good as it once was. Ordered Kung pow with extra vegetables when the little portion came there were a few carrot shavings and cabbage almost undetectable. The crab wontons, which are premium price and used to have real crab now taste like there's canned tuna fish inside very fishy 1695 for six. We don't think we'll be back. read more

James the manager was completely professional and helpful as well as our server Gabriella . My wife has food sensitivity and they modified a dish for her with no issues and was delicious. Will be back once again. read more

Why are there still so many PF Changs? Because the food is consistently solid. This location looks like all the rest so I could be anywhere like the Sherman Oaks Galleria. I like the kung pao scallops even though they are not gluten free. I'll have a serious tummy ache later but it will be partially worth it. lol read more

Not sure why the 3 stars... came here on a Monday for lunch. Sat at the bar. Enjoyed some cocktails, edamame and the lunch specials. Bartender, Gabriela, super friendly. Very tidy and clean. No one was really in the restaurant- but she did say they are starting their $5 happy hour again- 3-7! Awesome! read more

Fast service and extremely kind staff. The food was totally out of this world. We went for the chef feast for 2 for $22.49 a person. Do not at all be concerned if you get your money's worth. You definitely do. It leaves you desperate to try the next course. The staff is extremely attentive to us and enjoy their jobs. We have all been to restaurants where the staff is miserable, this is not one of them at all. Extremely professional and very proud of where they work. The sesame chicken is amazing. Going to get that next time. I got the spicy chicken this time and it wasn't as spicy as I expected. Maybe I'm just weird and like lots of spice. It's more like orange chicken so if you like orange chicken with a small bite to it then you'll love this. I myself will just ask for extra spicy next time. No worries, still wonderful. Can I give six stars? So worth the trip. Now I want a nap. read more

Topline: Decent PF Chang's Ambience 3/5: As far as PF Chang's go, this is one of the more standard locations I've been to. Nothing fancy. Service 5/5: Service was excellent. Jamie answered a lot of questions I had around the drinks menu and was very helpful regarding food requests! Taste 4/5: The egg drop soup was burnt and somewhat flavorless, but the Mongolian tofu was awesome. Expensiveness 3/5: About ~40 for a drink and the dinner special including tax + tip read more

I was at the Shops at Mission Viejo on a weekday afternoon and stopped here for lunch. They have an exterior entrance so you don't have to actually go into the mall to be seated. The interior is dark and is decorated with terracotta warrior type sculptures. Most of their lunch items are "bowl" versions of their dinner offerings. I ordered the orange chicken bowl (orange chicken on a bed of rice). I also decided to have a cocktail, a coconut mojito. They make their coconut cream in-house and, mixed with rum, it makes for a delicious adult beverage especially if you like coconut. My lunch order came out quickly. The orange chicken was quite good, very tender with a slightly sweet orange sauce covering it. There was more rice than I cared to eat so some of it was left. Being a responsible driver I decided to wait a bit longer to get in my car after having the mojito and, not wanting to just sit there, I figured the logical thing to do was to order dessert. Chang's Apple Crunch was supposedly "our version of apple pie, served hot with cinnamon sugar, caramel, and vanilla ice cream" according to the menu. That's sorta what I got. Warm pieces of baked apple were inside six separate crispy, deep fried wraps and presented on a plate with drizzles of caramel and chocolate. Any cinnamon flavor on the apples was extremely faint (maybe not even there but I just tasted it because I so badly wanted to). The caramel would have been much better if drizzled on the wraps themselves rather than on the plate. Also the ice cream was coconut rather than vanilla which was actually fine by me as it was a nice call back to the mojito. It was an okay dessert that I probably wouldn't order again. I've always had a soft spot for PF Chang's (especially their lettuce wraps which I didn't get this time) so maybe rate it higher than others. read more
