I was dining with friends and our kids. The staff was amazing, especially given they had to contend with our energetic kids running around. The food was excellent and the ambiance just what we were looking for.

Enjoyed multiple appetizers all which excellent. Lettuce wraps, fried potstickers that were in a good sauce, bang bang shrimp (not as good as previous recipe) and my favorite hot and sour soup. The latter always a highlight as most incarnations of this soup don’t include strips of pork which PF does. Dinner entres included chicken lo mein, a new dish chicken teriyaki. Both were very tasty. Service we ok but not great. Despite it was very slow that night in the restaurant so was the service. Asked for items and took forever for them to how up (like a knife.) some work needed in service area. Finally the prices have gone up a lot. Dinner for three was $240. Never spent that much at PF.
