Reg Ginger is a great restaurant if you are looking for a casual contemporary atmosphere with great Chinese and Asian dishes served deliciously.  Their prices are moderate and their dining menu is extensive. A take out menu is also available for the local area. There is something that will appeal to everyone of all ages. It is a great place to dine as a couple or with a family group. Wednesday night is Ladies Nite with free drinks with food at the bar from 8-9pm. Red Ginger is open daily for lunch and dinner except for Sunday, just dinner.

I was there with friends during the week on a Monday night around 7:00pm for dinner. For a Monday night, it was pretty busy. We were a group of eight and were seated right away at a larger round table. There is also a bar there serving wine and cocktails. Some of us ordered wine and some ordered their green tea. We all ordered the vegetable spring rolls that were light and tasty. Then I ordered the bowl of wonton soup which was hot and fresh. Some of the girls ordered a fish dish and others ordered a chicken dish. Everyone seemed to be satisfied with their meal. Then we decided to share a delicious lava chocolate cake with vanilla icecream. It was to die for! All in all, we had great service, great food, and a fun night out.

I look forward to coming back there to try other dishes and would recommend it to others.

Sze-Chuan Panda specializes in Szechuan and Taiwanese styles of cooking. The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. Their dishes are fresh and tasty. This location has been in existence since 1990 and the food quality is excellent. The decor of the restaurant is warm and has nice oriental pictures. The menu is varied and they offer discounted complete early bird dinners every evening. Delivery is available within a limited area. Prices are very reasonable.

I ate dinner at Sze-Chuan Panda during the week and their was a steady flow of people there. The owner visits each table and the service is prompt and courteous. I ordered the Shrimp, Chicken and Vegetables complete early bird dinner that is served with your choice of soup, egg roll or chicken wings or bean sprouts salad, fried rice or white rice, and choice dessert.  It was hot and delicious! The portions are generous so I had some of my main dish to take home.

I look forward to going back there to try their many other dishes.

From 12:00pm to 4:00pm every day, P.F. Chang’s offers Lunch Bowls on their menu. You may choose from a variety of chicken, beef, shrimp, fish or vegetarian dishes. Each lunch bowl  is severed with a choice of brown or white rice, and egg drop or hot and sour soup. Today we had Sesame Chicken and Pepper Steak. The Sesame Chicken was excellent. It consisted of stir-fried chicken, broccoli, red peppers, onions and ginger in a sesame sauce. This lunch bowl item was $8.50. We also had Pepper Steak which was excellent. It consisted of  quickly cooked steak with red and green bell peppers, yellow onions, garlic and black pepper for $9.50.

After our main dish, we enjoyed the mini desserts, chocolate cake with berry sauce and a cheese cake for $2.25 each.

We had a pot of a very tasty sweet ginger-peach tea with our meal, $2.50 for the two of us.

In addition to the Lunch Bowl items, other great deals are the Happy Hour specials from 3:00pm to 6:00pm.  Discounted small plates and drinks are served.

We dined from 3:00 to 3:45 pm and there were plenty of people in the restaurant. According to our waitress, during the dinner hour there is a long wait for those without a reservation.

A few months ago we did a review of our meal at the Sunrise location which can be found at P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Sunrise, Florida Review

Some dishes that we have enjoyed are the wonton soup,  bbq ribs, shrimp with garden vegetables, duck, Mongolian beef, green pepper steak, mu shu pork, Hunan beef,  chicken with broccoli and chicken with cashew nuts. We enjoyed the brown rice and  friend rice.

The wonton soup is exceptional with wontons, Chinese vegtables and strips of pork.  BBQ ribs are served as an appetizer or main dish.  The shrimp with garden vegetables  was cooked just right.  The beef  and chicken dishes have a wonderful flavor, as excellent quality ingredients are used.

The restaurant is popular with seniors, but people of all ages enjoy the food. The pistachio or vanilla ice cream for dessert has a great texture and taste. Fortune cookies are included.

Delivery is often quick.

In P.F. Chang’s locations you are surrounded by American and Chinese culture. If you want to eat healthy or not, P.F. Chang’s has a variety for you to choose from on their menu. Their lunch bowls are economical and filling. I would suggest trying something that you have not had before and you will love it! I met some friends there on Sunday for lunch and because we had ten people, we decided to order family style and share different platters. We started with wonton soup and appetizers. Then we ordered three different dishes to share such as mongolian beef, vegetables with lo mein, and my favorite, baby shrimp with walnuts and melon balls. It was delicious! The Asian and Chinese dishes are easy to digest and do not give you that heavy uncomfortable feeling. Some people had wine and I had the honey ginger decaffeinated green tea that I usually order.  P.F. Chang’s has a wine creation that is called Vineyard 518 which is a “green” concept with earth-friendly packaging. For dessert we ordered two larger desserts to share. One was a chocolate fudge preparation and the other one was a fried banana and ice cream creation. Both were rich, filling, and delicious! Our service was efficient and friendly. The waitress seemed to have a lot of patience with a large group ordering so much food.  The restaurant was crowded and has an upbeat atmosphere.  It did happen to be a weekend in the middle of the holiday season at a large upper scale discount mall.  They offer online ordering and pick-up as well.  Reservations can be made online or by phone. Great place for parties. With a Warrior Card there are various discounts offered during the year. Most major credit cards are accepted. I have been to other P.F. Chang’s for lunch and for dinner and always enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. I look forward to going there again soon to try even more dishes.

Pai Wei (pronounced “Pay Way”) is a subsidiary of P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and was originally launched in July 2000 as a vehicle for them with many locations.  They have consistently flavorful dishes from China, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand.  Their dishes are made-to-order featuring authentic Mandarin-style wok cooking in an exhibition kitchen.  Pai Wei has a similar look and feel of P.F. Chang’s, but more casual and convenient for everyday dining.  Their varied menu is available for eat-in as well as take-out and is moderately priced.  They take most major credit cards.  This is a great alternative for local business people or others on the go who want a quick meal.

I ate at Pai Wei in Plantation for the first time about a week ago with my son and really enjoyed it.  It was not very crowded when we first got there at 5:45pm on a Thursday night, but by the time we left, there was a medium-size line that moved quickly.  Once you order and pay, the waiters bring your food and drinks to your table.  The cashier taking our order was helpful and fast.  Our service was prompt and efficient.  I ordered hot and sour soup which was tasty and fresh.  My son had a spicy chicken dish that also looked and tasted delicious.  Portions are generous much like they are at P.F. Chang’s.  I would recommend trying Pai Wei for lunch or dinner and I look forward to going back there again soon.
