Beef Lo-Mein<\/p><\/div>\n

My wife, kids, and I wanted something quick but we also did not want any suprises.\u00a0 Given the requirements, we settled on the chain of chinese restaurants called P.F. Chang\u2019s Chinese Bistro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have seen several P.F. Chang\u2019s around the country, and hold them in\u00a0same regard as Chili\u2019s, Olive Garden, and the like.\u00a0 It should be consistent, it should have the expected menu items, and it should have a known price.\u00a0 Quality is another issue as it can be hit or miss with the massive chain restaurants.\u00a0 Luckily, P.F. Chang\u2019s typically is of good enough quality and flavor.<\/p>\n

We go on a warm summer evening and are seated off to the side, with no one around us.\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty sure everyone bathed, so I\u2019m not sure why we are given the isolationist treatment.\u00a0 Being alone on one side of the restaurant is fine though as our waiter shows up right away and takes our order.<\/p>\n

Orange Peel Beef<\/p><\/div>\n

We order the Orange Peel Beef<\/strong> and Beef Lo-Mein <\/strong>to split as the dishes are large enough to feed two people each.\u00a0 The food comes out after a reasonable delay and is warm to the touch.\u00a0 The Orange Peel Beef is a less than hot though and looks like it has been under a heat lamp for a while.<\/p>\n

The Orange Peel Beef<\/strong> is a little overfried but I really enjoy the orange flavor mixed in with the chili sauce.\u00a0 It is sweet, spicy, and savory.\u00a0 It goes well with the supplied white rice and is something I would order again.<\/p>\n

The Beef Lo-Mein<\/strong> is a little greasy but has plenty of flavor and is packed with slices of beef and vegetables.\u00a0 The noodles are cooked just right, with a slight bite to them.\u00a0 Overall I enjoy the dish and would not mind sharing it family style in the future.<\/p>\n

All in all we enjoyed our time and the kids really liked the food.\u00a0They offer a nice large-chain-style atmosphere, are clean, punctual, and of good quality.\u00a0 I am sure we will be back in the future the next time we crave American-Chinese food.\u00a0 I just wish there was an authentic but local place, like the Gourmt Dumpling House in Boston.\u00a0 I would go there any time over a chain option.<\/p>\n
