Do not go expecting real Chinese food or else you'll be disappointed.

I think the food there is crap. And just like crap it doesn't matter how much perfume you pour on it, it still smell like crap.

Pricing depends on location, as does portions (to a point). My wife is less than 105 lbs and can very easily finish an entree by herself. I, unfortunately, eat about 2x what she does. :(

10-12 for a chinese entree is costly. My local hole in the wall has $5 entrees. Heck, when I lived in San Francisco, I could get great entrees for $6-$8. PF changs is overpriced fake American-Chinese fusion cuisine.

it's not bad, but it's not authentic. if you've never had real chinese food, you'll think it's awesome.

Hi, you are mostly incorrect. Its actually pig hocks, chicken feet, and abalone.

Additionally, Chinese food isnt the only cuisine to use other animal body parts.

Brazillian food commonly use chicken hearts for example.

Vietnamese use a lot of cow tripe...

Obviously you've never been to China. I've been to China and one of the highlights from my trip was the food.
