I had the chance to go to P F Changs in Winter Park, Fl. My wife initially told me that I should go and since I am a picky eater and do not like to try many things, I had resisted.
I must say that I give the restaurant five stars for service and food. I tried the Kung Pao chicken as well as the ribs. I had the cheese cake for dessert and had to share it with my wife. We both enjoyed it.
The waiter was on the spot at appropriate times to take care of anything that we needed. Since we were out with a large group (approximately 14 people for a birthday party). I thought that it was impressive that he could handle so many demand (which included five small children) and got help only when he needed it.
I was happy that I got the chance to go and look forward to going again.
Good Chinese: Very good food but expensive!
An American Apparently Owns This Place: I've eaten at PF Chang's in DC, Indianapolis, Chicago, Oak Brook and Maryland. The place is tastefully decorated and I love the stereotypical decor. The prices on the dishes are decent and they are certainly pretty, but the cooks are Mexican. I'm Chinese and Filipino and I've had real Chinese cuisine over seas and here in Chicago.
I can't beleive the people who have reviewed this place are saying it is the best Chinese food they have ever had. It's not authentic Chinese food by any stretch of the definition.
The interior design is cute and kitchsy, the service is usually decent, the value is decent as well, but the food is not authentic so I would give it a total of two stars. I perefer my dining experiences to pleasant and fun, but I need a bit more then shiny things to catch my eyes.
