P.f. Chang's - Rockaway

I have to say, I was really impressed during my first visit here. Every dish I tried was delicious. The ribs, Mongolian beef, and sesame chicken were all excellent. The fried rice was an extra $3.50, which I thought was a bit pricey, but overall, the food was fantastic. I would definitely come back again!

**Lunch Takeout Review:** **Service:** 5 out of 5 **Value:** 2.5 out of 5 I paid $15 with tax, plus an extra $1 for fried rice, which is quite steep for a lunch portion. It feels like you’re really paying for the fancy branding and packaging rather than the food itself. Personally, I would prefer better quality food over the branding. As for the food, I can only comment on the Orange Chicken. While it was tasty, it was mostly breading and sauce with very little chicken—some pieces didn’t even have any chicken at all. The fried rice was also quite bland. It was fresh, though, and took about 15-20 minutes to prepare after I placed my order. I plan to try a different dish on my next visit. Since they are a new location, I’ll give them some time to work through any initial issues before returning. I will definitely be back—it’s PF Chang’s after all!

The decor is absolutely stunning, and the bathrooms are even more beautiful. If you’ve never been to a P.F. Chang's before, you may notice that each location has its own unique decor. It’s been great to visit several in the area. I also want to mention that our previous experiences at other P.F. Chang's locations haven't always lived up to expectations, but this visit truly changed our perception of the chain for the better. We are now loyal patrons of P.F. Chang's and are so glad we decided to give it another chance. It’s common for restaurants to struggle with service and food quality during their opening, but this location was exceptionally well-staffed and managed to handle the volume efficiently. The training prior to opening was clearly outstanding. Typically, you wouldn’t expect this level of service just two weeks post-opening, but they exceeded all our expectations. A special shout-out to our wonderful server Elsy and the bar manager Vanita, who were both friendly and polite, checking on us multiple times throughout our visit. Keep up the excellent service, and I foresee a very bright future for this location. Best of luck, and thank you for making my birthday experience so fantastic!
