Downtown, need Chinese… well, maybe not need, but want Chinese??  P.F. Chang’s is the place to go.  This classic chain restaurant is the best Chinese in the downtown area according to this guru.  Located right on the first floor of the mall, PF Chang’s has delicious food for your average downtown prices.  Look to spend about $10-15 per person, but be completely full and probably take home some for the loving dog at home when you get off of work. 

If you’ve been to a PF Chang’s before, you know the drill with the atmosphere.  Tables can at times be too close together, but if you get lucky enough for a booth you’ll have all the space you’d ever want.  The one downfall is reservations are recommended.  Since it’s right in the mall they get a lot of foot traffic and it causes long waits around lunchtime. 

Staff is usually solid and at times seems like you have multiple waiters/waitresses with the way the bring food out in waves.  It’s a great idea though as it gets your food to you faster.
