10 Reviews for PF Chang's China Bistro
This was my first PF Chang's experience, and it was a decent one. My family and I grabbed a late lunch/early dinner meal here prior to the semi-final Frozen Four games on Thursday.
I had the Vegetarian Ma Po Tofu, with brown rice, that I split with my husband (he ordered vegetable fried rice that we also shared). The tofu was cooked really well, and had a good amount of flavor and spice. Our waiter was very nice, and helpful. We probably could've spent more time in here, and ordered some different things if we didn't have a game to get to, but really it was a good meal.

PF Changs is not Chinese food...at all. AND it is a chain. But regardless of that I still really enjoy this place. It's consistant, you know what you are going to get, and I usually stick to the same thing (lettuce wraps, mongolian beef, spicy chicken). I've come to the realization Denver does not have a lot of good asian food to offer, especially in Lodo, so I'll take what I can get.

Oh! I need some kind of therapy after eating here. The service was amateur. The calamari tasted like grilled beef. I ordered a vegetarian dish that was not advertised as spicy. It tasted as if they had dumped half a bottle of sriracha hot sauce on it. It was so bad; I had to send it back (later the waitress admitted she tasted it and she even said it was awful). So then I ordered the honey shrimp, which were in some kind of sweet and sour sauce with the emphasis on sour. They didn't even bring me fresh rice with my new entree. Basically, if you offered to pay me to eat here I would refuse. I'm still feeling queasy as I write this.

Good food, good service. That's really all you need in a restaurant.

The service is hit-or-miss, the food is consistantly average, and the drinks are interesting and fun.
It's a great place to bring someone who isn't from the city. I recommend the cucumbers in the soy/sesame sauce, and the shrimp/chicken fried rice. It's not genuine Chinese food, but it's passable as Americanized Asian, and it tastes good anyway!
Undeniably popular with locals and tourists alike, all the P.F. Changs locations dish up average Chinese food that's mildly flavorful, but woefully Americanized. Still, the lettuce wraps always hit the spot, service is friendly, kids are welcomed with open arms, and while there's nothing remotely adventurous about the menu (if you want the real thing, head to JJ Chinese), the dishes, which often hedge on the sugary side, seem to satisfy most palates. Unless you arrive when the doors open, bet on a long wait.
You have got to be kidding. This is NOT Chinese food or even Asian-inspired food. Just because you use Asian ingredients in your cooking doesn't make it Asian. It has to taste good and fresh. This stuff is over-sauced and stale. Not all Chinese food is sweet sour sauce poured on top of deep-fried meat nor is it brown gravy over fried rice.
My noodle dish was a small portion ($12.00 for a noodle dish? Really!?) of spagetti-like noodles (like Italian restaurants use only it came from a box) in a vague brown sauce with bland vegetables and even blander beef. I can't even comment on my wife's dish but frankly my kid could cook vegetables and rice like that.
Way overrated and overpriced. If you need Chinese food this bad, go buy some LaChoy frozen meals, turn down the lights, and wait an hour outside your house to simulate the experience. And send me the $10.00 you saved.
Sorry, but my Dad owned a restaurant for 15 years and he would have demanded his money back for this one.
Should be named PF Chunks. 'Nuff said!

The same as the other PF Changs'. Good food, decent prcing and tranquil atmosphere. Perfect place to enjoy a nice meal with friends and family and everyone in between.
food was fair for a chain chinese place in the middle of the country. their food also comes back out as quick as it went in.
chow mein for the drain!
