Yes, PFChangs is a chain. Get over it. This is not TGI Fridays. It is a classy, well run chain with fun takes on traditional Chinese dishes.
Take the salt & pepper calamari. It's fresh tasting. Has good texture. Comes to the table hot and full of flavor. I order it every time I visit. Another favorite is their lettuce wraps. Finger food at its best.
My family is hooked on their "Orange Peel" line - shrimp. chicken, beef. A slightly sweet coating on your favorite main ingredient. Mmmmmm!
The servers tend to be energetic and engaged - they must have a good training program. The decor hearkens back to old time places like Trader Vic's - but with better food.
I have been to 3 different Changs across the USA and I suggest you call ahead, they all seem to be crowded.
