First time experience, loved it!!! The bartender Lizzie was so nice and gave me extra bubbles in my drink it was delicious. Our waitress Casey is literally the best and she agrees with me on how mushrooms are not appetizing. She got our food to us so fast and she was really nice. Hope to come back soon.

First time here and I was impressed with the decor and every food item we ordered. The place is nicely decorated and clean. The service was really awesome however at times it was slow. We tried refreshers in drinks and I would say those were really delicious. The food items we had was edamame, dynamite sushi, chicken fried rice and spicy tofu. I would not recommend having edamame as I found them ok however other food items were really delicious. I'd definitely come here again.

After a wait of 20 minutes after our reservation, we were seated. Apps were delicious. Loved the lettuce wraps and sesame chicken dinner. It was worth the wait. Our waiter, Matt D was very helpful with the menu and very sweet.

It was my first time here, I was very impressed. The appetizers came out extremely fast, as did our entrees. I loved everything I ate. The fried pork dumplings were super tasty, the fried rice was delicious and unique, but in a good way. Everything my family got was also delicious according to them. My only personal issue were was that for some reason I feel like the time it took to get our check back was longer than the time it took to get our food. I totally recommend!

So.. to start the night. My girlfriend and I had a reservation for 8:30pm. We get there 5 mins early (8:25pm). Was told by the hostess, who was very nice, that our table is ready and that it'll just be a few minutes. We waited about 15 mins before we were seated and they were about to seat us outside in the mall area on the side of the restaurant, (unsure of the point of a reservation). My girlfriend and I didn't expect to be seated outside of the restaurant and asked nicely if we were able to sit inside considering we have a reservation and would like the ambience of the new place. Plenty of seating was visibly available and they put us at the worst table location wise and area, mind you the table was wobly as all hell. So they decided to seat us on the far side of the bar from the front entrance which is literally right next to the kitchen so we heard and observed staff hustling in and out nonstop throughout our whole meal which kinda ruined our date night and couldn't hear ourselves speak, not to mention the loud music, but the place was super busy so it was what it was. We also got two alcoholic beverages which were actually very good.Food quality:The food was decent. I got the fire roasted short ribs with the pineapple rice. My girlfriend got the Mongolian beef with white rice and we decided to get a side of vegetable lomeinVeggie lomein- no flavor at all. Didn't taste anything but noodles and the veggies didn't seemed steamed enough or cooked. Just bland.Short ribs and rice- meat was extremely tender and flavorful and the rice didn't have much flavor other than the natural juice from the pineapple chunks.Mongolian beef- I tried some of this and the veggie that came with it was good.Fabian, our waiter, was extremely nice and kept everything going smoothly. The manager standing around at the far end of the bar didn't seem involved at all and was totally clueless that if you have other seating available on the inside you shouldn't place customers next to the kitchen which I'm guessing was not relayed to the hostess which I don't put any blame on.All in all just to summarize; 2 entrees, a side and 2 alcoholic drinks was a little under $100. Seating was not ideal with reserved dining. The wait staff was very nice though (always tip your waiters/waitresses well). Although, not really worth it for the price and quality of food at all. I already see signs of poor planning and management and this place hasn't been open that long. You're better off going to literally any hibachi place or possible local Chinese takeout spot to pay roughly the same amount for 2 people and receive better food.

Very good!!! First time at this location, smaller than other P.F.Changs, but quaint!Food was great, My hubby had Pepper Steak with fried rice & I enjoyed Asian Caesar Salad with chicken , and Won Ton Soup.Service was good, but a bit slow.Would definitely return!

We really enjoyed our dinner. The light crunchy coating on the Crispy Honey Chicken and the Dynamite Shrimp was very good! The sauce on the Beef and Broccoli made the dish delicious!! Our waiter was great.? We had several questions and he was happy to answer them and explain a couple things. Would have given a 5, but we found it strange there were no complimentary crispy Chinese noodles and sauce as a starter. The menu is also on the smaller side, but this may be the norm at all of their restaurants? Overall...very good.

Gotta say I was impressed first time here and every food entree was good. The ribs Mongolian beef and sesame chicken was good. Friend rice cost extra 3.50 which I though was alot but still overall food was great I'd definitely come here again

As a fan of the Franchise, I was looking forward to the opening in Rockaway, NJ. I have been ti other locations and was always happy with the experience. Though it is very pricey for what you are actually getting.Lunch Take Out Review :Service : 5 out of 5Value: 2.5 out of 5.$15 with Tax and $1 extra for Fried Rice for a Lunch size.You are really paying for all of the fancy Branding and packaging of your food. I would much rather have better food than branding.Food : I can only speak about the Orange Chicken. It was tasty, but it was ALL Bread and Sauce with very little chicken. Some pieces had no Chicken. The Fried Rice had very little flavor.. It was Fresh and tool 15 -20 minutes to prepare once the order was placed.I will try a different dish on my next visit.They are a New location and will give a little time to work out the kinks before going back.I will be back of course... it's PF Changs..

I’m going to just say off the bat that for a restaurant opening, this place deserves 5 stars all around. In a time where staff in is hard to find, good staff is even harder to find. From the minute we walked in, the staff was friendly, attentive, courteous and until we left, went above and beyond the entire visit. The food came out hot, timely and the portions were HUGE. My parents had some special accommodations and changes to meals, and the server was very understanding, patient and came back to check on us during the visit many times. The decor is stunning. The bathroom are even more beautiful. If you’ve never been to a P.F. Chang’s before, you know the decor is slightly different at all of them. It’s been cool to visit all of the Chang’s in the area. Have to also say that our experiences at other PF locations didn’t always hit the mark. This visit, because of the fantastic experience we had, changed our mind about the chain as a whole, for the better. We are loyal PF Chang’s guests, and gave it another shot, and not are we happy we did. Sometimes going to a restaurant when it first opens, service can be slow, food can be cold, etc. but this location was beyond well staffed to handle the volume in all areas. The training you could tell prior to opening was superb. 2 weeks after a restaurant opens, you don’t really expect this level of service, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Shout out to our amazing server Elsy, and for the bar manager Vanita who was so friendly polite, and also checked on us a few times during our visit. Keep up the great service, and I see a very bright future for this location. Wishing you the best of luck and thanks for a fantastic birthday experience! :)
