P.F. Chang's Offers Delicious New Kids Menu!

(Our family at P.F. Chang's!)

I've always thought of P.F. Chang's as more of a "grown up" eating place. After all, it's where hubby and I used to eat out for a romantic dinner. So when we recently had the chance to try the new kids menus, I was at a loss! Would my picky eaters like it?

Here are the highlights from the new menu:

• Kids Chicken - a bunch of crispy friend chicken fingers with tasty dipping sauces (These went over VERY well with all of us!)
• Kids Lo Mein - very garlicky.. these were delicious noodles with a bit of chicken mixed in. (We also found ourselves getting every little noodle off the plates!)
• Kids Chicken Fried Rice - what you would expect with a high-quality fried rice, minus the veggies (My youngest found this to be his favorite.)
• Baby Buddha's Feast - Stir-fried or steamed fresh veggies.. and nothing else. (Surprisingly a tasty vegetarian option or a wonderful side dish.)

The items, which start as low as a few bucks, are a great way to introduce the little diners to some tasty asian cuisine. I thought that the portions were right-sized for a kid under age 8, but my 11-year-old needed a few plates to fill up. Also, if your kid wants chicken AND rice, you'll need to order both plates (each kids plate has only one item.) Because we have 4 in our family, we ordered one of each, and shared an authentic family-style dining event. So much fun!

If you are considering burgers and fries for your next family night out, I encourage you to think fresher and bolder with the kids menu options at P.F. Chang's. The wait staff was super-friendly to my kids, and they made us feel very welcome. (Which is good.. because I'm sure we left our share of fried rice on the floor.)
