P.F. Chang’s Review / Summit Mall, Akron, Ohio / https://www.pfchangs.com
The ambiance of the restaurant is very inviting, with a set of distinct colors allowing for a look that will immediately draw individuals in. We were immediately brought to our table and had our drink orders taken. The soups and salad were ferried out in short order. The salad goes beyond typical restaurant fare, uniting typical lettuces with more esoteric greens. What results is something wholly unique, with a salad dressing that provides further oomph. The hot & sour soup is much more comprehensive of an effort than what one will typically find at an Asian restaurant; there is a considerable amount of chicken, tofu, and egg that will keep diners going as their entrees are prepared.
The Singapore Street noodles have delectable rice noodles and a panoply of additional inclusions (chicken, shrimp, and vegetables), while the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce has an ample amount of meat with a more muted set of flavors (black beans, scallions, mushrooms, eggs, and peas). If your party can soldier along, P.F. Chang’s has one of the most massive desserts that we have ever consumed – The Great Wall of Chocolate. The cake has to weigh in at over a pound, and contains a luxurious amount of icing and fresh fruits. All together, we were able to have a feast for two at around $50.
P.F. Chang’s is a great restaurant in terms of low price points, rapid-fire service, and a variety of items that will appease young and old. The spectrum of dishes that the restaurant offers makes it easy for veteran fans of Asian foods to find something fulfilling just as easily as those that may not be too familiar with this sort of fare.

My husband and I went out to dinner Friday January 5, 2024, at this location.
I was expecting a long wait due to possible reduced wait staff and cooks as we’ve experienced in other restaurants on Friday nights.. We arrived at 6:05 and were quickly seated by 6:25, without a reservation. We were greeted within minutes by our waitress. I can’t find my husband’s receipt for her name. We were the first booth past the post across from the wall with restrooms. She was diligent getting appetizers and drinks out to us soon as they were available. While we were eating, an employee was cleaning a table in the main eating area. He dropped dishes and I never saw glass fly so far to a booth on the other side of our booth divider wall. Immediately an employee opened the door from the kitchen and asked the busser if he was okay, then quickly 4 employees, including our waitress, were at the scene with brooms and dustpans helping with clean up. All through out the dinner, whenever an employee passed by, we were asked if we needed anything, clearing away used dishes. The whole restaurant was a team effort to make us feel welcome and cared for. My worries about understaffing were quickly dispelled. The food was the quality we have come to expect at this restaurant and price point. I highly recommend this PFChang for going above and beyond in service to its customers.
