We're friends with the chef. Hi Courtney! He's awesome.

Consulting Jess on Tofu.

Mai Tai. Yes, that is a real plant in the drink. The Pineapple inside was yum, the drink not so much my taste.

Dinner! I forgot to take pictures of our appetizers. We ordered the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Calamari and Crab Wontons--which Courtney happen to send another order to our table. I didnt like the crab wontons, actually noone at the table did. The consistency of the crab was gross. The salt and pepper calamari was pretty good.

Jess ordered the Ma Po Tofu, it was red when I ordered it. It still tasted good to me.

Crispy Honey Shrimp. mmmmmm. Not the best picture, I know, but those shrimp are sooooooo good. I'm not even into honey flavored stuff.

Mongolion Beef. Naomi's fav.

OMG. Vegetable Fried Rice sooooooo good.

DESSERT TIME!

Enter GREAT WALL OF CHOCOLATE.

It looks better than it taste. It's good. It just builds up expectations that can't be filled.

Nez wanted it all! lol.

Banana Spring Rolls, not the best picture. MY FAVORITE DESSERT @ Changs. Top 5 Favorite Desserts of all time.

and the damage is done...btw. Dessert was on Courtney. I know, you're mad. lol.

Until next time P.F. Changs...

I know. I know. I said I wouldn't do chain restaurants, but this one left a really good taste in my mouth.

Sunday. Dinner w/ cousins Jess and Naomi.

The decor is neato. Has the whole Asian vibe going on. cute. My cousin says its "high class," hold on I have to laugh. LOL. I loved the horse statues in the front! I took a picture with one! I think the tables are to close though. Our waitress was suuuuper nice, ultra friendly, and she refilled my water--a challenge because I happen to be half camel.




Food. pretty effing delish. For appetizers we ordered the Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Shrimp Dumplings (Pan Fried). My cousins really liked the Chicken lettuce wraps. They didn't look appetizing but from the bare plates I can tell they enjoyed lol. The shrimp dumplings were good, but they could have been better.

Entrees. I had the Vegetarian Ma Po Tofu. I've had quite a bit of Tofu and this was pretty much top notch of all the tofu I've had. Jess had a chicken entree, I can't remember which, but she enjoyed it. She even tried my tofu and liked it! Naomi didn't like the silky inside--sounds gross but it was yum. Naomi had some beefy goodness, she loved, she's a Changs regular. Why she hasn't found me a baller, exec, producer, etc. to marry in Edgewater? I couldn't tell you. LOL.

DESSERT. BANANA SPRING ROLLS. WOW. OMG. Amazing. "I don't even eat bananas, but I ate those!" Jess. I think this had to be my favorite part of the meal, they were just amazing. I think if they put an endless plate of banana spring rolls in front of me it would be the equivalent of meth--in terms of addiction, dopamine, and euphoria. I'd probably kill for some banana spring rolls. I love bananas! I also happen to love spring rolls! its like they took two of my favorite things and montaged! lol.

Ok. So I'm changing to ratings to reflect a scale of 1-20.

Food 17. Heavy on the Banana Spring Roll.
Decor 14. It was pretty cliche.
Service 17. Good, but we were there for a while now that I think about it.
It was moderately priced. not cheap.

Overall, I give P.F. Changs a 16. I want to give higher, but I feel like I'm being to lenient. When I'm scoring I try and think, is there a restaurant better than this? Probably so.

I would definitely eat @ Changs again. There were quite a few things on the menu I'd like to try.

OH! and they gave us fortune cookies with the check!
