Beautiful decor inside the restaurant. No warm and inviting welcome at front of restaurant. Staff very unsure of what to do. Hostess never smiled once while we were there. We sat outside. Nice setting . Location of restaurant is one of the best areas of the mall. Beatrice was a nice server. Our entrees came before we were even done with appetizers. Noted that to happen to other diners as well. Appetizers were good: duck confit tacos, lobster/shrimp rangoons and cheeseburger dumplings. Entrees had to be left to the imagination as to being Chinese dishes: dirty fried rice, Dan Dan noodles and general Tao. Shame on management for not mingling some experienced staff in with all new inexperienced servers. Will not be returning anytime soon as going out for dinner is not an inexpensive event these days and will go to other restaurants that have higher standards of being run. Completely disappointed in experience.

We were underwhelmed with the food. There were 3 of us in our party and only one said they would return. All our food came out at once, soup, appetizers and main courses. There wasn’t enough space on the table. The scallops were tasteless. One guest said their wine was good.

2nd time my wife and I have been here since the opening of this new restaurant. I come back because the food is well prepared, tastes fantastic and the ambience is perfect. This is the best Chinese restaurant around here. Started by the guy that founded PF Changs, grew it then sold it for a plethora of cash to Dardens. This is a superior version of PF Changs. Go! Enjoy yourself. And cut some slack to the staff that’s still learning.

This was our 2nd time dining at the newly opened PJK and it pains me to write a negative review. Hopefully they will work through the kinks and become a 4-5 star restaurant. Their biggest problems are the kitchen and bar service. Drink orders took way too long. We even had to cancel the 2nd drink order since we were almost finished with dinner and were still waiting on the drinks. Egg roll appetizers also took exceptionally long. When the dinners were brought to the table, there were only 3 of 4. The 4th dinner was a simple vegetable side. No exaggeration, it took over 20 minutes for them to bring the vegetables, after the server told us three times, "it will be right out". Three of us finished our meals by the time the 4th meal came out. The General Tso chicken did not look or taste as expected. It had a light colored sauce versus the dark sauce of hoisin and soy. We thought they delivered the wrong dish, but the server said that is how they make theirs. (it was also missing the side of rice). On a positive note, the Chicken Pad Thai and Dan Dan Noodles were excellent. Until they work out the service kinks and we see positive reviews, we will not be back.

The decor and ambience was great, great service and presentation of table settings and food.Music a little loud . My DanDan noodles were fantastic. But others that had Orange beef, and Mongolian beef said the beef was totally overcooked and chewy, but flavors were good. We had a wonderful waitress Sonja. Only drawback to the whole experience was price of drinks. My cosmo was $16 but when made with Titos, they added another $3.00 !! We are glad they have opened as we needed a nice Chinese close to us. But suggest they might adjust their overcharging of the drinks. I can buy a whole bottle of Titos for what one drink cost.

food is good but service, cost and open tables lack personal conversational atmosphere. Confusion with luch over dinner menu with lunch visit. Appetizer served with main meal and way too much food at one time. Server did not ask how or who get the bill? Learning curve, perhaps?

The food was delicious and came out quickly! Destiny was a fabulous waitress, very accommodating and quick with all of our requests. She was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The atmosphere in the restaurant is beautiful. The reason for 4 stars and not 5, I requested to sit inside when I made the reservation via phone and it was confirmed, when we arrived we were seated outside near the parking lot, I mentioned my request to the hostess and she said, “ I wasn’t there in the morning when you spoke to the person, so I can’t do anything and then she told me she had another large party coming in 30 min that she was sitting there”. We also needed to send the peeking duck back, it was too dry but they did send another one out promptly
