Going during happy hour and ordering a la carte is the way to do it

PF Chang's is a little pricey for Chinese food, and it's certainly (mostly at least) the Americanized version of Asian dishes. Of course, most Chinese/Vietnamese owned and operated smaller establishments serve most of the same stuff.

All of that said, I do think it's well prepared and fresh. I won't make a trip out of my way to go to one, but I don't mind eating there if it's convenient.

This is what impressed me the most about changs. I got to take a walk through before it opened. The contractor that did new buildouts was a regular at the bar my wife bartender. No freezer in the back of the house. The burners for the woks were impressive. High quality kitchen and that's what your paying for.

I do have a link for knockoff recipes if anyone wants it. I cook the changs spicy chicken, lettuce wraps, Mongolian beef, and shrimp dumplings from these recipes and they taste the same for a fraction of the cost.

LINK

Here's the link. The Mongolian beef is a "premium recipe" now. I'll have to find the PDF I saved with all of the hidden ones.

Best lettuce wraps I've ever had was at PF Changs. Very good food for a chain.

Even China One has much better .PF Changs is bland and boring and very overpriced.
