   This was our first visit to the new Estero location. Food quality was mixed. Star of the show was Mongolian Beef, although portion size is small compared to price. Orange chicken was “pretty good”. Same comment on portion size being quite small for menu price. The biggest disappointment was the Classic Fried Rice—it was really mushy, especially compared to the white rice that had more expected consistency and was ok. Fried Rice is the staple most customers rely on—big Disappointment! We had two apps—the chop salad and the rangoons. Both were pretty good. A recommendation for Management—your drinks list omits beer, which you have. The waiter had no idea why it is not on the list—perhaps because it is lower cost and you don’t want to emphasize it?? The wines are very expensive—not a good value. The restaurant would benefit from adding a “house wine” in each category with a better value equation. Other nearby restaurants offer this. Neighborhood Chinese (which PJK touts) gives the impression of a good place to hang out with high quality Chinese food at a reasonable cost. This restaurant is not up to par yet and hopefully they will get it together. We need a good Chinese place!

   We made reservations and when We got there and asked for inside and they said it would be 35 minutes so we did outdoor and as we sat there a couple walked in no reservations and asked for inside and they sat them 5 minutes later we ordered never got water and when we asked for some 20 minutes later the waitress said they didn’t have any glasses so we left. They shouldn’t open if they weren’t prepared. Very disappointing being we were really excited about this place. Heard the people at the table next to us and they screwed up their order. Service definitely was poor. They never came back to the table Not going back

   Very nice ambience. Flavors were on the bland side for the veggie lo mein. We told staff we had a vegetarian at the table, but the it came out with chicken. They comped the meal - but that would not make me go back again. Also veggie egg rolls were a small amount for the price. Would be good to go to for drinks and ambience, but not for dinner for the price.

   Service is slow - particularly waiting on your drink order. Be prepared to order early, and it will be much more timely.

   Food was fabulous. Service was very friendly but could have been a bit more attentive. Wine prices were high for ordering house wine

   This was our first visit to PJK and we had a great time: - The decor and ambiance were delightful - upscale but not fussy or cloying. - The service was convivial and attentive. - Our food selections (salt and pepper calamari, sweet and sour chicken, scallops with caviar) tasted delicious and were well-presented. The menu was somewhat limited for me because so much of it, especially the “exclusives”, were geared toward more adventurous diners who can eat shellfish and who like high spice. So many spicy items! (I am allergic to shellfish and can’t do spicy.) - The cocktails and wine were very good, but overpriced. All in all it was a lovely evening. PJK is a wonderful addition to our area.

   I was brought the wrong dinner. Sea bass instead of salmon. I kept it rather than waiting. It was just ok. Husbands dinner was wrong also. Nice place, not too loud. Not excited to try again however.

   I especially liked the beef with broccoli. It was so tasty, garlicky and gingery. Loved it!

    Had a nice happy hour dinner. First visit so we opted for a collection of small plate appetizers to try as much variety as possible. All were very good. Service from Sonja was excellent. Price was what you would expect for a sit down experience in SW Florida
