    There was a dog in the restaurant by my table while I was eating unfortunately I was too nervous to say anything. Other than that everything was really cool I guess. Thanks Phillipe Chow.

    Yunnan is unfailingly great. Don’t miss the LǍONǍI POTATOES, which are perfectly pillowy soft with a crispy exterior and deliciously spiced. In other options Baked Potato Rice is excellent. Even Uncle Roger would be impressed. The MÓGŪ Shitake Mixian Noodles are an excellent vegetarian option. The Ube Rose Cheesecake and the Winter Rose Cheesecake are great options in desserts. Perfect light cheesecake with a delicious delicate flavors. Overall, a great experience. Will definitely be coming back.

    Enjoyed multiple appetizers all which excellent. Lettuce wraps, fried potstickers that were in a good sauce, bang bang shrimp (not as good as previous recipe) and my favorite hot and sour soup. The latter always a highlight as most incarnations of this soup don’t include strips of pork which PF does. Dinner entres included chicken lo mein, a new dish chicken teriyaki. Both were very tasty. Service we ok but not great. Despite it was very slow that night in the restaurant so was the service. Asked for items and took forever for them to how up (like a knife.) some work needed in service area. Finally the prices have gone up a lot. Dinner for three was $240. Never spent that much at PF.
