ASIAN FOOD
Although the first P.F. Chang’s opened in 1993, our story began in the early 1960s when co-founder Philip Chiang helped with his family’s restaurant and discovered his passion for food. Years later, he opened Mandarette, where he reimagined his family’s traditional Chinese recipes with a modern touch. Everything changed when he met Paul Fleming, a successful restaurateur and loyal guest. Impressed by the authenticity and simplicity of Philip’s dishes, Paul saw the potential to share them with the world. With a handshake, P.F. Chang’s was born.
From the start, P.F. Chang’s was about more than food: It was about culture, community, and the art of cooking. What began as one restaurant in 1993 quickly became a destination that redefined Asian dining in the U.S. Guests were captivated by the warm atmosphere, open kitchen energy, and flavors blending tradition with innovation. By placing wok cooking at the center of the experience, we created something new: the first internationally recognized multi-unit Asian culinary brand.
Today, P.F. Chang’s is a global brand with more than 300 restaurants in 20+ countries and U.S. airports. While rooted in Chinese cuisine, our menu now celebrates flavors from across Asia – Japan, Korea, Thailand, and beyond. Every dish is made from scratch, every cocktail carefully crafted, and every experience designed to bring people together. From wok-fired bowls to hand-rolled sushi and celebratory dinners, dining at P.F. Chang’s is about honoring the art of Asian cooking and creating unforgettable moments around the table.
