Mongolian Beef
Last week, my husband and I went to P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Restaurant because we had a gift card to use. The closest P.F. Chang’s is in Stanford Mall in Palo Alto, so off we went. I had low expectations for this place… but it turned out to be a decent place. The restaurant is huge with warmly saturated decor – rich, dark hardwood floors and wood tables, accented by red Asian lanterns.
Shrimp with Honey Walnuts and Honeydew
We ordered too many dishes for two people – Mongolian Beef, Shrimp with Honey Walnuts and Honeydew, Garlic Noodles, Stir Fry Vegetables, and White Tangerine Tea.
Garlic Noodles
My favorites were the Crab Wontons and Mongolian Beef. The Mongolian Beef wasn’t too spicy. The food is authentic Chinese with a bit of Western flair. Basically, it’s like a Chinese restaurant with a full bar and American desserts. I didn’t quite like the honeydew melon balls in the Shrimp with Walnut Prawns or the slices of cucumbers in the Garlic Noodles. But the food was yummy anyway. They also set up a dipping sauce station at your table – mixing sesame oil, soy sauce and hot sauce together.

White Tangerine Tea
They did have a good selection of loose leaf teas that are served in a stylish, Japanese style teapot.
Dessert
I’m all about dessert and they have a delicious, mouth watering variety of mini-desserts that are only $2 each! They have strawberry cheesecake, lemon meringue, tiramisu, caramel, chocolate, apple pie, and banana cream pie. I had tiramisu and it was good, worth coming back for.
