Would you rather they didn't freeze it? As long as it's quality ingredients.

We go to MCC PFChangs as a special treat every now and then, cant fault the service or the food. The manager Brian is extremely helpful with any special dietary issues (In our case a DD who cant eat gluten) and they are extremely accomodating. One of the few places that understand and take gluten contamination seriously, I always feel safe there.

We love it and try to go at least 2-3 times per month. Fabulous food, but very crowded at times and have to wait for a table.

PF Changs is one of the few places that I have enjoyed Chinese food in Dubai. We have only used MCC so cannot compare to the other branch in MOE

I know Shake shack which is also owned by Alshaya have all of their ingredients imported and I always find their food and shakes good quality.
Changs seams a bit like Marmite! I for one really like it and think I'll try the MCC branch!

What a load of codswallop, the food is far from bland, service is the best of it's kind in the UAE and all the ingredients are flown in fresh everyday and made then into the meals. Ie fresh crab from Canada, beef and chicken from the usa. It's great value for money.

I really liked ChiZen, I do like P.F Changs on their good days, but do find that the food is wayyyyyy took salty and afterward you feel really thirsty. PF Changs is more of an american chinese

We always go to MCC as well and never had a bad meal there. Their prawn and scallop main is amazing if you're on a health kick but everything we have had from there has been lovely

I always go to MCC and we have never had a bad meal from them.
Chicken noodle soup is very good and a large bowl to share between 3/4 is only about 35AED
we also choose the brown rice option, with whatever mains we choose.
always too stuffed to order dessert, but we have had the great wall of chocolate on a visit with friends. intensely chocolatey and 1 piece was enough for 6 people.

It's always busy when we go and we have always had to wait except mcc.. Love the dynamite combo. Best idea is send your husband for takeaway while you sit on EW!

we've never had to wait for a table at Changs but maybe it depends on the time you go. Haven't been during Ramadan though.
We usually get funny looks because we order enough that its dinner the next night too. Dumplings, Chicken fried rice, mongolian beef, noodles, sweet and sour chicken.

Not been to MCC. May have to try it. Is it busy like MOE?
The rice and Naan bread were good and it tasted pretty good but like I say the meat was too tough which spoiled things. I hear they're a little hit and miss.

we and a few friends always go to the MCC location. Heard it was better managed than the MOE location. We're very picky when it comes to chinese food and found it the best so far in Dubai.

First time we went the noodles and rice seamed a little over cooked but everything else was good.
Ever since then we haven't had a thing to complain about apart from some of the desserts being too big!
It is always busy so they must be doing something right!

Being a vegetarian, I have limited choices when it comes to eating there - But I've always had a good experience. The food is great and so are the desserts

Am sorry I can't help with the reservation thing. but I think that you shouldn't over-expect, I went there over couple of recommendations ... and i really regret the time and money spent there. It is an average or below. but that was my experience, hope you enjoy yours and be more lucky

Anyone know if you can book a table at P.F Changs in M.O.E or do you just have to turn up?
Last time we went we had to wait 45 minutes. Enjoyed it though!
