SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro (NASDAQ: PFCB) announced the re-opening of its location at the Irvine Spectrum Center. The restaurant has been rebuilt from the foundation up and offers one-of-a-kind architectural design, menu, service and music.
The new store will remain unique in the P.F. Chang’s portfolio and will serve as a space for the culinary and beverage teams to test and share their latest innovations.

Chang’s China Bistro concept. “We are thrilled to share this vision with our guests and actively involve them in our ongoing evolution. Our goal is to delight our fans with a one-of-a-kind experience that, while innovative, remains true to the core of P.F. Chang’s.”
The 8,000-square-foot P.F. Chang’s will feature small plates and dishes from across Asia, 90 wines from regions around the world, a significantly expanded craft and import beer selection, an extensive signature drink menu, freshly brewed loose-leaf teas and specialty coffees.
