This Week's Restaurant Review

By Sam L. Smithers
Chief Restaurant Reviewer

This week we took a trip down I-44 to Tulsa, home of many fine restaurants, including our choice for the evening, P.F. Chang's, which bills itself as a China Bistro. It was Tuesday and we arrived about a quarter to six and had our choice of tables. But within 30 minutes the place had filled completely to the walls.
The concept here is that everyone orders something different, from an extensive selection of entrees, it is all placed in the middle of the table and everyone shares in the different foods.
That works, except for the one person that orders something that no one else wants.
Our food quickly cooled, as the room air conditioning was blasting away on this hot afternoon.
Our server made quite a production out of the tray of sauces and liquids that she mixed at the table, but we soon found out that the hot chinese mustard was loaded with a sinus declogger.
Portions were not over large, but adequate. We sampled the sweet and sour chicken, brown rice and chicken, lamb, and chicken and broccoli. The restaurant also offers a variety of duck and beef items as well.
Prices are in the $9-12 per entree range.
And like they say with Chinese food, we were hungry by 8 p.m. A repeat visit is in order.
