In the past year, I have eaten one lunch and one dinner here. For both visits, the exterior of the restaurant needed to be updated, but the interior looked stylish and clean. An employee promptly greeted me, seated me at a table, and took my order, although she did not speak much English. Across my two visits, here are the foods that I purchased: Classic Spicy Grilled Fish - 4.5 stars - I am not sure of the type of fish, but it and its accompanying vegetables came in a large, impressive tray and tasted spicy and delicious. White rice was on the side. Fried Sticky Rice Cake - 4.5 stars - This dessert reminded me of donuts with a chewy inside, and I liked them very much. Beef Skewers and Chicken Skewers - 4.5 stars - The meats were juicy and highly seasoned. PF BBQ House is open for lunch and dinner for dining in, takeout, and delivery. You may order food in person or through apps such as Fantuan. I encourage more people to eat here.

After seeing how icky the bathroom was, I was nervous to eat there & only decided to stay for a meal because my friend really wanted me to try their food. Honestly, I am SO glad I stayed and I really can't wait to go back again! The restaurant itself is super cute and has a beautiful mural outside of the building, which I snapped a pic of. I loved the tables inside and the wallpaper. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and ate it so quickly that I didn't even get a photo, hahaha! It was sooo delicious! That was definitely a comfort food choice, since I was trying lamb for the first time. And how was the lamb you might ask? Absolutely insane. Steak has been my favorite food for a long time, but I'm pretty positive that lamb has taken its place! Gosh it was delicious and they seasoned it SO wonderfully! It melted in my mouth and was so naturally buttery from the fat. It's certainly a new guilty pleasure of mine. I also tried the Sichuan chicken, which was pretty dang good! I really enjoyed the spice level and the taste of the dish! I was totally caught off guard by it being served cold (intentionally), yet I really liked it! Water and cups were given to us upon seating, and we ordered digitally via a QR code. The food came out probably 15 minutes after that, which was awesome! The girl who brought us the food seemed pretty sweet too. Dining here was more than just getting food. It was a whole different kind of experience for me, and it felt as if I was able to experience a few authentic cultural things, which I am very grateful for! I will definitely be back again and with friends! Although my first impression wasn't the best, I can acknowledge one thing clearly--dirty bathroom but AMAZING food!

The service is very good: you will have a server and multiple people who bring out the food. Because the various plates are often shared it will feel like non-stop food arriving. The restaurant is setup to be comfortable with good spacing. We went for lunch and it was not busy, and they have a lot of seating. We will be back.

One take out order was pretty quick. Dine in was also pleasant; it's pretty dark and not too crowded so it feels very quiet. My sushi was good both times. Fairly standard rolls, tasty and not overly decorative or flashy. Rainbow roll had a particularly nice medley of fish pieces. When I came for dine-in with my wife she got a spicy mayo tuna poke bowl. It had a nice assortment of toppings though was a bit heavy on the mayo. Lots of rice made it quite filling (she shared some with me). We also tried the steamed pork dumpling appetizer. They were very hearty as dumplings so though fairly plain. I'll definitely come back to try some of the Thai food and will drop in for sushi when I'm in the mood.

For seating some tables and chairs were in a room upstairs. The interior was old, but I understand that remodeling costs money, and at least everything looked clean. I ate the Salmon Poke, which contained fresh salmon, spicy crab, seaweed salad, masago roe, edamame, lettuce, and rice. I drank a Choya-brand plum soda. I thought that both tasted very good, and I particularly liked the chunks of salmon. The total price for the bowl and soda was $26 plus tip.
