My wife and I finally stopped in for a meal at PF Chang's. Last time we ate at a PF Chang's was in Minnesota back in 1998 and the location at the Rockaway Mall was a much different experience. We stopped in here a little early for dinner, right around 5pm, and the mall and the restaurant were pretty empty. It was hard to get a feel for how the restaurant might feel when full, but the lights were low (not dark) and it seemed like it could get loud when packed. We were seated right away by a very friendly hostess and the bartender/waitress was over pretty quickly. She came over and made a couple excellent recommendations for drinks and we put in an order for pork dumplings. She came back over and we then placed our entree orders. I had the Mongolian Trio and my wife ordered the Orange chicken. The pork dumplings were great. Our drinks were great. The entrees were a mix. My wife loved her orange chicken - it was tender and had lots of flavor. My meal - fried chicken, shrimp, and beef was cooked a bit too long which made it a bit tough and the sauce was pretty salty. Because of previous meals years ago and because my wife's meal was very good, I'm gonna go with this was just a bad day with my meal and leave it at that. Our server was FANTASTIC - super friendly and helpful and we had a very good experience other than my entree. I'll go back and give them another shot. read more

I know it's Americanized and mass market, but when the flavor profiles and textures deliver, I don't hesitate. My friend liked his mojito, which I tasted and finished clean. But my black pepper chicken was a highlight entree. Usually served breaded, this chicken had crunch and crisp seemingly directly on top of the protein, with a good ratio of crisp in each bite. We waited like 3-4 minutes to be seated, which wouldn't be worth mentioning except that there was no line. And the bench-style seats are ridiculous: not supportive and too low relative to the table. I wish we'd tried the chaired tables or one of the booths. read more

Great lunch specials that includes a starter, an entrée, plus rice and noodles for just $14.99. Food is always tasty (albeit it is a chain restaurant). Great cocktails, at the bar seating, and lots of interesting choices. Don't miss the chicken lettuce wraps. read more

P.F. Chang's - Great spot for lunch - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

If you want a guaranteed good experience PF changs is my favorite ! The service is attentive . A quiet class vibe, yes it's a chain but the lighting nice, food is delicious ! I joined the vip and the lunch is a wonderful deal ! read more

Pulled up to P.F. Chang's and, as always, had to start with the lettuce wraps--never miss! Fresh, flavorful, and a solid way to kick things off. For my main, I tried the Mongolian Beef Trio, which came with shrimp and chicken. While everything was cooked well and had good flavor, I'll probably just stick to the beef next time--three proteins was a bit much. My friend got the honey chicken, and I stole a bite--solid choice if you like a sweeter dish. Ambience was nice, very classic chain restaurant vibes but well-maintained. The service was great--attentive but not overbearing. Overall, a good experience! Would definitely come back but with a more streamlined order. read more

I usually enjoy simple, reliable chain restaurants, since the food should taste the same wherever you go. But P.F. Chang's in Rockaway has been hit or miss for me. More often than not, I've had to ask them to reheat my food because it came out cold, or something in my order just wasn't right. Honestly, when you order straight off the menu, why isn't it correct? Service is a bit better if you sit at the bar, but otherwise, both the food and service are meh at best. I often feel forced to go since my wife loves their wonton soup and is always hopeful the quality will improve -- but so far, it hasn't lived up to expectations. Verdict: Not consistent enough to make it a go-to. I eat, I judge. The fork stops with me -- your feelings aren't on the menu. read more

I was eager to try food here after my mom raved about their major tofu dish. We ordered food for takeout. I called last night to order by phone and I was out on hold for almost 10 minutes before someone took my order. The staff member told me it would take 15 minutes for my order to be ready. It wasn't ready at the time they said it would be. Secondly, the food was a bit oily. We ordered mapo tofu with white rice, Kung Pao chicken with white rice, and teriyaki chicken with brown rice and another serving of brown rice. While the teriyaki chicken dish was flavorful, the brown rice was al dente. I don't like to eat my rice al dente, don't need the stomach issues. The chicken in the Kung Pao chicken dish was burnt. We had to scrap of the burnt bits to eat it. And the mapo tofu was decent. I was really disappointed in their dishes and service. They need to do better. read more

Had a delightful lunch at P.F. Chang's recently with two of my sisters. We all enjoyed our meals which included Sesame Chicken Bowl with Lo Mein, Sweet & Sour Shrimp ( the shrimp was subbed in from chicken), and a Honey Chicken Bowl with fried rice. I also had an egg roll that was just okay. One of my sisters got the Peach Boba Breeze which she enjoyed. We shared a (generous) piece of Chocolate Peanut Butter cake. The service we received from Tara was over the top! Bathrooms are clean. The restaurant is located in the mall, so plenty of parking. Would not hesitate to return. read more

Haven't been to PF Chang's in years. It was pretty good for a chain in the mall! Our waitress was awesome and answered our questions. When we first walked in they asked if we wanted to participate in their daily specials for apps and drinks, in order to do so you need to sit at the bar or the patio area. The "patio" area is located outside the restaurant in the mall area. It can be very noisy out there. I enjoyed the food more than I thought I would and what I remembered it to be. read more

Understaffed, little to no service. Save yourself the time and frustration, go elsewhere.

My wife and I had lunch today and both ordered the sesame chicken lunch meal. The meal was all rice with 4 pieces of chicken, 2 pieces of broccoli and a few slivers of peppers/onions. There was almost no sauce. Very disappointed as we left hungry. read more

0% review. This place is awful! The food was slimy, too glazed, too sweet, too burnt.The waiter overcharged and we had to correct the bill three times. They don't make you aware of extra charges. The plates looked unclean/stained. It's upsetting to pay so much for horrible food. Never coming back and will never recommend this place. Definitely making people aware of how bad it is. Only added the one star so the review can go through. read more

We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps about six pieces of lettuce came out. It looked funny sorry I asked if it was real lettuce and I was sure it was. The Mongolian beef came out and was loaded with green onion more than it was necessary not very much meat, but plenty of onion. It seems that the prices have almost doubled in the last few years and it's not because of the economy read more

The food was very good service was very nice i we had a nice little quiet lunch. I would definitely.come back

I try and stop at P.F. Chang's when I'm in the Rockway mall It's usually pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the specialty cocktails are all premade they're all in containers. They shouldn't do that. They should make them by order. They come out extremely sweet and you don't know if they're using the proper vodka in them. read more

So I order my food for pick not delivery and come to the restaurant and they told me that the order was pick up I said did you ask for the name they said no I said so is some one order food yall won't ask for the information , I ask they said sorry the staff that work there don't really care .. read more

Ordered 2 Dinner set menu from Rockaway NJ location. Here's my take 1) Portion very small for $20 ea with tax. 2) Found small veggie worm on broccoli and small splinter on Mongolian beef. 3) Empty slot on the box seems like something is missing.. Don't think I'm coming back anytime soon. Upside, flavor is great! read more

As a frequent flyer, I have to say, the quality of food matches the ambiance and service. I always sit at the bar. It is easier and more efficient for quality over quantity. I enjoy their 5$ happy hour zen margarita. It's worth more than its price. The food is always delicious. For a chain restaurant, I recommend fully! read more

Food was decent, but our waiter was awesome! Ty was absolutely hysterical. From the minute we came in until we left. Very pleasant guy and was great with checking in on us. Not overly hovering but just the right amount to see how we were doing. Chicken with broccoli was good, lots of garlic and onion in it. Orange chicken nice flavor with a tiny kick. read more

I paid $17 for 8 pieces of orange chicken, brown rice, and soup. I was disappointed with the amount of food that was presented, since this was my mother's day dinner.

I haven't been to PF Chang in a while and couldn't wait to try it again. I ordered the kung pao shrimp online. When I arrived I couldn't find the location. It's located inside the mall, and I eventually found it. When I walked in, I was greeted, and my food was ready. The place was nice as I remembered! When I left, I dug in, and the food was pretty good. It was flavored nice and all in all I had a good experience. read more

P.F. Chang's is a chain, so it's not much to say about it. This location is within Rockaway Mall, so that tells you all you need to know about parking. It's on the lower level right next to 'Cheesecake Factory.' The service is fine, no complaints, but the food is pretty basic. I guess you get what you get from a chain restaurant. The food was very basic & lacked any flavor on its own, with the exception of the Short Ribs. Everything else needed some dressing to assist in flavor. Steamed Shrimp Dumplings, Calamari, Short Ribs, Mongolian Beef, Short Rib fried rice, Lo Mein, & a speciality drink (I don't even remember the name). read more

We have been a fan of PF Chang's for many years. We have eaten at more than a few and the food has always been yummy. My wife told me that there was, finally, a local outpost in our area. We tried take out and the service was spot on. The over the phone estimate of 30 minutes hit the time for pickup to the minute. Despite the early days of the restaurant, the food quality and taste was as good as any of the other Chang's we have tried. A good example of a quality chain restaurant ... we have ordered take out three or four times and have been very satisfied. read more

P.F. Chang's - a dragon head on the side of a building - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

P.F. Chang's is a welcome addition to the Rockaway Mall. While this chain has been around for years and has many locations throughout the country, this was my first time dining at one of these restaurants. It did feel a little strange driving to the mall for a nice dinner, but I guess that's no longer as uncommon as it used to be. On this Saturday night, I was joined by my wife and stepson. Since we had recommendations on a few of the dishes, we ordered different entrees and sampled each. We started off with a delicious spare rib appetizer, then shared entrées of Crispy Honey Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and Sweet and Sour Chicken. We absolutely loved all three, I'd say my favorite was the honey chicken. There's a nice bar at the front of the restaurant. I enjoyed a cold Kirin Ichiban Lager. Desserts look delicious, especially the Great Wall of Chocolate, but we'll wait for next time for that. Our server was great, but the kitchen seemed to have a tough time keeping up with orders. That would be the only negative. This was a fun experience and I'd give a big thumbs up! read more

Food is excellent. Almost never disappoints. However, Sunday, one hour after opening, bartender is also our waiter. Nothing against that, however, to wait to be seated, to order drinks and appetizers, to order the main course... its a wait.. again, one person doing it all. Surprised he didnt go into the kitchen and made the meals. Lol Otherwise food is very good. read more

You guys could improve by adding some seasoning to your meals. It was tasteless w a bunch of spice (my dish Kung Pao Chicken had 10 of those uneatable spicey peppers) Chicken and broccoli also lacked flavor and broccoli tasted frozen. We did enjoy the salad, crunch noodles, slaw and peanut sauce but that was about it. Do better read more

PF Chang's in Rockaway, NJ, Loved the food , great service our waiter TY was wonderful. Thank you so much. See you soon again

Has anyone ever eaten in P.F. Chang's more than once? Really? We rolled the dice, we were starving, and we crapped out. We really love Chinese, like real regional Chinese food, even Chinese - American food, but, this is neither of those. It's like Friday's and Panda China conceived a baby while watching Food Network reruns from the 2010s, and then a corporate Chef who apparently doesn't really like people decided "Damn, needs more salt!" Mediocre, inattentive service. I'll give the waitress credit for a pleasant demeanor for the rare times she graced our table with her presence. It was a sad and overpriced experience, from the sloppy plating to the terrible oversalted food. I could go into great detail picking apart each dish, I'm just not writing War & Peace. Take my advice, maybe you're Chain Restaurant curious, maybe you're intrigued by the giant golden Foo Dogs, maybe you're Great Aunt from The Villages swears by it, just don't do it, you'll leave angry and dissatisfied. Patronize your local Mom & Pop Chinese place instead - by local and leave happy. If worse comes to worst and you're stuck in a mall, go to Panda China in the food court, still a better alternative than Chang's. Oh yeah, I'm not really a drinker but, their cocktails border on being mocktails. Guess they're really watching those Food & Bev costs. read more

Not super impressed by my first P.F Changs experience ever but here's what you need to know: 1. Atmosphere 5/5 - Well maintained, clean and a good vibe 2. Food 4/5 - Dumplings were good, well sauced and the zucchini fries were flavored well paired with a sauce but way too greasy/fatty for my liking. 3. Staff 4/5 - Could have been more attentive. Had to call over the waitress although it was quite empty. 4. Drinks 3.5/5 - PRICY! The drinks are very expensive. Midnight Ritual is $13.5 but I guess it is more about the experience of the rock candy and lemon changing the color of the drink. This drink I thought was tasty and felt more worth the money. Recommended to me by staff was Rising Dragon priced at $15. This drink I didn't enjoy as much and wouldn't order again. 5. Overall 16.5/20 - Came here for apps and drinks but spent over $100 and wasn't full. I could only imagine the cost of drinks and dinner for 2 here. Maybe save it for a "night out" rather than a quick bite. There are plenty of other places that offer Happy Hour (yes I went during the wee with no drink specials around 4:40pm) in the area to have a more affordable experience. read more

We enjoyed dinner at the bar a few weeks ago. Very nice and inviting atmosphere. We loved the pan fried dumplings but $13.00 is a very steep price when all other places including Hunan Taste charge $7-$8. My chicken pad thai was fabulous. My husband got Kung Po Chicken - great flavors but the chicken was burnt. Overall a nice place & friendly bartender. The mall must be charging this place outrageous rent for the prices to be so high. read more

When I arrived I was told 30-50 minute wait for table. Even though 1/2 the restaurant was empty. When I used to be a server. If there was an empty seat anywhere in the restaurant. There was no wait. Because we had an empty seat. Grabbed a seat at the bar. After few minutes, the bartender came over to take our order. When the food arrived. The food was over sauced. Likely to hide the fact that it was small quantity and low quality. Bartender/server only once came to check on us.. They paid so little attention to us it is hard to write more. Now with the restaurant 90% empty. I see people waiting 30 minutes for tables.. Looking at the poorly stocked liquor bar. It is clear the place will not be here for long. Hoping the next place is run better. read more

P.F. Chang's - Yummy chicken and fried rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

For my first time at a P.f. chang's, it was very pleasant. The atmosphere was relaxing, had a slight fancy feel to it, but was family friendly. The portions were great, the waiter mentioned that the sizes are larger and typically meant to be shared, but I was able to eat my entire meal. We had crab wontons which were good, and a side of edamame. I had the veggie Lo mein which was probably the best I've ever had, which was surprising considering this is a chain restaurant. My boyfriend got the sweet and sour chicken, he liked it but once he tried my lo mein, he said mine was better. He also had a side of fried rice which I tried, wasn't bad but not worth the extra money for it. Food was a little pricey but it's a good place to go out with the family or on a date to have a good time. Service was very friendly and accommodating. read more

To be honest I forgot when I had such a disastrous food. I haven't been in PF Chang for years (last time was probably 10 years ago). Now I know why! The famous chicken lettuce wraps - still can't comprehend how bad should be the cook to "kill" the dish. It was fried to "perfection" to be confused with nuts. The prawns were so greasy that I sent it back. The Mongolian beef that in almost every Chinese restaurant uses filet mignon was substituted with flank steak that was not a good quality. And again, it was basking in grease. The quality of the products that went into making dishes was so far below acceptable restaurant quality that I question if this chain is going to be around in the near future. As for me personally, I never put my foot into this restaurant. read more
