If you've eaten at PF Changs, you've eaten here. Nothing spectacular. The food was good, but if you're in downtown Chicago, there are so many better options for the money. I was expecting more, and got a PF Changs copy-cat.
Wasn't impressed with the food one bit. The fried rice and the egg rolls had no flavor at all. Wouldn't have been able to tell the difference if it weren't for the roll itself. Not to mention the $25 tag on the meal, made it that much harder to swallow.....literally. There are any number of better restaurants in China Town on Cermack and Wentworth at a better price.
One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The staff is great and they remember us. Food is delicious and never dissapointing. Maybe not authentic chinese, but it's still a great place to eat and laugh with friends.
