P.F. Chang’s China Bistro Debuts in Irvine

“We are thrilled to share this vision with our guests and actively involve them in our ongoing evolution. Our goal is to delight our fans with a one-of-a-kind experience that, while innovative, remains true to the core of P.F. Chang’s.”

The new store will remain unique in the P.F. Chang’s portfolio and will serve as a space for the culinary and beverage teams to test and share their latest innovations. Popular dishes, cocktails, décor and technology elements will be evaluated for possible national rollout to the company’s 204 locations. The restaurant is scheduled to re-open on Tuesday, December 13^th at 5 p.m.

“The new Irvine P.F. Chang’s represents all that we’ve learned in 18 years, and what we hope to become over the next five to ten years,” said Lane Cardwell, President of the P.F. Chang’s China Bistro concept. “We are thrilled to share this vision with our guests and actively involve them in our ongoing evolution. Our goal is to delight our fans with a one-of-a-kind experience that, while innovative, remains true to the core of P.F. Chang’s.”

The 8,000-square-foot P.F. Chang’s will feature small plates and dishes from across Asia, 90 wines from regions around the world, a significantly expanded craft and import beer selection, an extensive signature drink menu, freshly brewed loose-leaf teas and specialty coffees.

The new, pan-Asian fare, which will be complemented by already-popular P.F. Chang’s cuisine, includes small plates such as Kashmir Wok-Seared Lamb, Shrimp & Bacon Okonomiyaki and Bang-Bang Chicken Flatbread.
