P.f. Chang's China Bistro - San Jose

I rated this place 3 stars because the food was good, but I didn't really understand why the walnut prawns included fruit. It seems like a lot of places hype up their fusion dishes without really delivering. Additionally, the egg rolls were quite greasy. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the candlelit dinner atmosphere at night!

PF Trends as one friend put it. But I like it. It is good for birthday parties because they serve family style. Service is pretty good.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. I've tried giving it another chance multiple times, but it just keeps getting worse. Even my own cooking is better than their steamed dumplings. The noodles were excessively greasy, and the meat was bland, overpowered by hot sauce. I struggled to finish my meal. The only dish I found decent was the wonton soup. Additionally, the waiter I encountered yesterday made me feel uncomfortable. I was eager to leave. After dining here, even Panda Express feels like a culinary treat.

I typically reserve 4 stars or more for restaurants that have a candlelit atmosphere. This place serves incredibly delicious Chinese-American food.
