If you are a fan of Thai food, then you will like the food and the ambience that is present at Pf Chang’s. The restaurant is named after a famous Chinese philosopher and social philosopher, Yang, who is also the founder of one of the most important schools of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. The story goes that Yang felt that sickness could be reduced by changing the way people experienced food. He introduced a new method of cooking and served his unique take on traditional Chinese fare, which includes everything from stir-fry to vegetarian dishes and more.

A few of the chicken dishes on the menu feature vegetables along with the chicken. One of these dishes is a wheat bean salad that has been marinated in lime and cooked in a spicy soy sauce. The noodle soup is made from black beans that have been cooked in a ginger and garlic paste. Both the noodles and the soup are topped with lettuce, scallions, and crunchy green onions.
Fried chicken is also a common element of the Pf Chang’s menu, though the dishes tend to be on the leaner side. The restaurant also serves several types of seafood dishes, including grilled crab legs, crab claws, and fish dishes.
