My first experience at this restaurant was bad. The place is located in the Brickell area, very close to the Brickell City Centre shopping mall. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. I got in around 4 p.m. on Thursday. The restaurant was half empty, so there was no line to get a table, and I had a choice of many tables to sit at; I picked one on the outside terrace. The restaurant menu is pretty big and has a nice selection of food. Also, there was a Happy Hour menu, but it didn’t have many items on it, and all of them were appetizers. I decided to try the Orange Chicken at this place, which I love and have pretty often. Originally, this meal comes with rice, but I asked my waiter if I could switch the rice for Lo Mein noodles, and the answer was positive, but I would have to pay some extra money for that, which was okay for me because I love noodles. I got my food 15 minutes after the waiter took my order. The orange chicken and the noodles came on two different plates, which was weird. Aesthetically, it looked awful, to be honest, like some cheap fast-food Chinese place would serve food. The orange chicken appeared decent, but its taste was just so-so. The chicken was slightly dry, sounded like it was overcooked a little bit, and it did not taste sweet and orangey like it’s supposed to; I could feel a lot of salty flavor for some reason. The noodles looked very boring; no veggies or sauce were added to them (usually, Lo Mein consists of some pieces of vegetables which give them some flavor, plus some soy sauce). As a result, they had no flavor and were dry. My food was a big disappointment! Price-wise, the orange chicken costs $19, and I was charged an extra $4.60 for the noodles. Is it worth it? Absolutely not! Honestly, the orange chicken and the noodles at “Panda Express” taste a lot better and cost less than at this restaurant. But I must mention that, in general, prices for food on the menu seemed somewhat reasonable. You can find many items on the menu which cost around $20, which is not bad for Miami. And the Happy Hour menu has items for like $7. After my bad experience with the orange chicken, I regretted that I did not pick the crab wontons and the dumplings from this menu, which I almost did, and I would have spent less money on these two items. Next, I want to mention my waiter, who took a lot of time to bring my glass of water after I placed my order (it took him almost 10 minutes to come back to me with the water). Moreover, he took almost 10 minutes to bring my bill, having served a few tables around me before. Plus, he did not go and charge my card right away; he brought back my card about 6 minutes later. I need to mention here that he was the only guy serving the whole outdoor area, which got completely busy with people by the end of my meal. At that point, a second waiter should have been there to help him! From what I saw when I was inside the restaurant, the place looked nice and very clean; my table was also ideally clean when I got there. The biggest plus of this business for me was that no Service Fee was automatically included in the bill like many restaurants in Miami nowadays have, and it is very annoying! So at this place, you are welcome to tip as much as you want. Honestly, I have no wish to come back to this restaurant; it left zero clue for me to return. And I would not recommend this place to other people. But if you still decide to visit it, trust me, do not order the orange chicken with Lo Mein noodles, which will probably disappoint you like it did me.

Visited P.F. Chang’s in Miami for dinner on my birthday, and it was such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, great vegetarian options, everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was nice, and the staff was friendly, making it a special celebration.
