P.f. Chang's - Torrance

Nothing to review because I left faster than I got there! Had no desire to eat anymore. I just went to go see my movie.

Quick update, we came on a Monday night (05/15/2023 for a birthday celebration my grandma turned 98! The manager and staff were all very accommodating. My grandma has some eating restrictions, so we needed to bring some prepared food for her, which was not a problem with management. Special call out to our server Angel who was friendly and efficient with his service. We also got the front desk host, Nayley to snap some pictures. Thanks to all for hosting our memorable birthday celebration. As far as the food goes, we had, Lettuce Wrap (A and the Tempura Battered Green Beans (B, a little greasy for me as our starters. The entrées included Mongolian Beef (B+ , Crispy Honey Shrimp (B+ , and the signature Lo Mean Noodles with Chicken (A . The food is really tasty, but not the healthiest meal you will have. Personally, when it comes to chain restaurants, I quite like P.F. Chang's.

Ordered an order of dynamite shrimp. It was ready 15 minutes later than pickup time. The shrimp sauce was very flavorful with a good spicy kick. The shrimp batter was overly thick and not crispy

I will be kind and go 3 stars. Pros: Large table, not rushed, and accommodated our being 90 minutes late due to flight delays. The server did a great job with drinks and splits and getting the order correct. He didn 't rush us at all. We even received a free dessert. Cons: Very poor table maintenance. Our table was a landfill of trash, water condensation, straw wrappers, dirty napkins, used chopsticks, soiled plates and empty glasses. Our server was not far away, idle, and in plain view, talking to another server of the opposite sex, obviously laying the foundation for some post shift shenanigans. If you 're going to flirt with another staffer, don 't do it in plain view and 15 feet away from a table that requires lots of attention. Our water glasses were another issue. I asked for more water. And though 5 of our 9 glasses were either completely empty or half empty, the server only refilled mine. You didn 't say refill everybody 's glass. Okay, my bad. It was wrong of me to assume that you would demonstrate preemptive autonomy. ???? They serve plastic forks here with dessert and no utensils with which to cut shared desserts. Have TSA restrictions now found their way to PFC? Very odd. At the meal 's conclusion I had to request the check several times from other staffers before it was brought. Our server had gone hiatus or something for about 20 minutes. Upon leaving, there was no farewell offered from the hostess. I said thank you and goodbye and she just quietly looked at me as if I had just uttered some indiscernible gibberish in Esperanto. She 's standing at the podium of the restaurant 's entrance. Don 't put someone in the pilot 's seat unless they know how to fly. Just saying, there 's LOTS of room for improvement.

It 's the year of the rabbit, so why don 't you hop on down to P.F. 's and nibble on some good forage Doc. A fluffle of us colonized a table, which was tucked alongside a wall in the corner of the restaurant. It was a perfect spot for viewing the crowd, and it gave us an advantage should Mr. E. Fudd pop up. Our waiter, who was extremely attentive throughout our meal, was very knowledgeable of what the menu had to offer and was quite efficient. Our order arrived perfectly hot and perfectly tasty. He was well compensated for this effort. As an appetizer, we agreed on dumplings and chicken lettuce wraps. The dumplings came fried and sizzling, while the lettuce was cold and crisp. The chicken nestled in it comfortably while being devoured by the gluten freeists. I marveled at the flurry in which it disappeared. All the while, I was left at my leisure to enjoy those scrumptious pork dumplings. There are advantages dining with picky eaters. The main course of Mongolian Beef, lobster fried rice, ginger chicken, spicy chicken, and a couple of different kinds of rice didn 't stick around long on the table. I mean, we did a number on those. All eight food selections disappeared faster than a dessert in front of Opra. All of us were completely satisfied. Our appetite sated, we sat back knowing that good fortunes lie ahead. For it is a fact that the number 8 is good luck for the Chinese. And it would be for them since there were a number of 8 's on the bill!! Quick Tip: If you like using chopsticks, you 'll have that option. However, if you 're entertaining a group of hungry hares, you may be better served by using your fork. Wielding the sticks to impress, may yield you less.
