P.F. Chang's - Good enough to look past the trendy

I am one of those guys who fights the "trendy" restaurant chains.  Give me a great local restaurant over a chain any day.  That said, P.F. Chang's ain't too shabby.  It offers fresh asian flavors...even if it is to the masses.  During our trip to Seattle, we needed some sustenance after some mall shopping.  Right there in the mall was a P.F. Chang's, so we through caution to the wind and went for it.

We started with the Spring Rolls.  They have a nice blend of hot mustard, sweet, and savory sauces that they blend for dipping that is dyn-O-mite.  For my main dish I went with the Chang's Spicy Chicken.  It was also tasty.  The chicken was tender and savory with just a hint of spice.  I actually save the dip from the spring rolls and dipped my chicken....pow!

The dining area has nice mood lighting, but it is definitely not a quiet space.  The wait staff is working hard and fast, but our server was friendly and did a great job tending to our table.  All in all, not bad for a chain.

P.F. Changs:

Website - www.pfchangs.com

Reservations - Can be made online, or you can sit and wait.  Tables seem to turn over quickly, and there is usually plenty of seating.

Overall Recommendation - I still like to frequent the "local" restaurant, but if you want decent chinese food, P.F. Chang's will do.
