P.F. Chang's in Santa Monica is one of the places I go to with friends from out of town who are fans of chain restaurants. The location near the beach here in Santa Monica makes it convenient and easy. Santa Monica has lots of inexpensive parking garages so you can enjoy our meal without looking at your watch. I have...

Have been to many P.F. Chang's across the U.S. and was planning on having a good dining experience like every time I've been to one, definitely one of my favorite chains. I was there for lunch and once I walked in it took about 5 minutes for them to greet me and the place wasn't even close to being full.... More

Parking is difficult, and prices a tad high. If you like trendy, go here. But go a bit further east on Wilshire and try one of several family Chinese places near BUNDY.

We have been to locations of this restaurant in San Diego, Seattle, Spokane, Las Vegas and LA. All were consistently good and this was no exception. Decent food, well-prepared, always good service - a good casual dining choice.

Met a friend here for a couple of cocktails and some cheap entrees. The place didn't disappoint. Our waitress, Hayley was really helpful and attentive. We both enjoyed our cocktails, and I got a glass of pinot as well. To eat we had their lettuce and chicken cups which were great, and I loved how garlicky they were, with a... More

Loved the chicken lettuce wraps and fried rice. The main chicken dish and shrips were average and not very authentic. What's with the completely westernized desserts?

Our table was very good air-conditioned, to good! The staff was very stressed with us to change the table. Finally we changed and the next disappointment was the food. After we had dinner in a lot of other P.F. Chang Bistros in the US., we expected similar to the Cheesecake Factories a constant quality, but this is not what we... More
