Restaurant Review

P.F. Changs

We went here for lunch today. (Valentine's lunch. We prefer to actually get to eat, rather than sit around for 2 hours waiting to eat. At least that was the theory.)

Our waiter was kind of off for some reason. (Not the 'guy dressed in drag covered in tattoes' kind of off.) He asked us what we wanted to drink (water) and if we wanted appetizers (Hot and Sour soup and lettuce wraps), after we told him, he just walked off. No 'I'll be right out with those waters', no 'your appetizers will be right here', no 'hot and sour soup and a lettuce wrap', he just walked off. Eventually he came back to see if we were ready to order. We gave him our order (Orange Chicken and Chang's Chicken), he just walked off. Again no confirmation that he heard us, got it right, or anything.

Our order eventually came, but not before a number of people who came after us got their food. (From different waiters.) He did come back a couple of times to refill the water. Towards the end, he asked if we needed a box for the rest of Tara's orange chicken, which we did. Tara and I were discussing dessert and the 'Great Wall of Chocolate', when he came back with the box. He put the food in the box, gave us the box, and gave us the check and disappeared. No 'could I interest you in dessert', or 'will there be anything else', or 'thank you for eating at Chang's'. We decided that we must not have wanted any dessert.

The food was good, but if you go, avoid the waiter with the haircut that looks like he combed it with a plunger.

Lunch conversation:

Tara: "Is this a francise?"
Me: "Yes. They call it Chang's Chains."
