Thread: P.F. Changs...

is what happens to mediocre Chinese food when MSG isn't used and the remedy is to oversalt the s*** out of your recipes... which in turn makes my mouth feel like i've eaten an entire bag of sunflower seeds.

it's called Umami, motherf***ers, and there's a reason OTHER than getting a C from the health department that makes those s***holes in Monterey Park so damn good.

I'm a pretty big fan of Changs. Go to the one in Racho Cucamonga all the time. I do agree with you though about the salt. But it's either the salt or I'm running to the bathroom because I'm allergic to MSG.

Oh and here's another reason to like em. This just came in my e-mail the other day. Free Lettuce Wraps for everyone!

lol. ges, dontcha know? it's chinese food for white people! the upper scale version of panda express, if you will.

I know it is Chinese food for us white folks, but damn those lettuce wraps are tasty. To be honest, as with many ethnic food places, it can be intimidating going into say LA Habra/Monterey Park and going to those places cause you do not want to seem like a tool when you order. I know I can be picky and don't want to offend people when I order something and say no bell pepper, or no tomatoes. That is my only reason for not going to more of those places

Chang's is garbage, started by a white guy...nuff said.
They also have a Bistro style place which is also overpriced and mediocre.

I like chinese food , but not from P.F. Changs.

Take a chinese person with you. I volunteer Lice. Btw, asking for "No (insert food)" is definitely not a good idea unless you're at a local american eatery.

I'm so cool, cuz PF Changs isn't authentic.

If it tastes good, I'll eat it.
