God, I have had it with Chain restaurants. There's so many of them, but so few good ones. P. F. Chang's has a lot invested in it's decor... wall designs and fancy replicas of chinese architecture with a hip post modern (Red Light-esque decor). But the owners have completely neglected what is of paramount importance in a restaurant- the food! The dishes are hackneyed and uninspired, and need a total makeover. The wonton soup had no flavor, and the kung pao chicken was tasteless. It may be too much to ask the owners to emulate Shanghai Terrace in the Peninsula Hotel. They're on another level. But i have a suggestion: Go to Yen's on Clark Street in Chicago- they're food is basic chinese- but done well. Even Red Light, which is not superb, is MUCH BETTER than P. F. Chang's. Please, please overhaul your menu. We, in the suburbs, deserve better restaurants!
Cons: Food lacks depth of flavor
