This Summerlin outpost of the national chain attracts the upscale yuppies and seniors who live in the neighborhood. It has modern surroundings, good wines by the glass and good Chinese food. P.F. Chang's traditional statue of a majestic horse graces the way to its front door. The chicken wrapped in lettuce leaves is a favorite starter, as are Chang's wok-seared spare ribs and the wild Alaskan sockeye salmon salad with mixed greens and pickled ginger vinaigrette. Among traditions are almond and cashew chicken stir-fried with bell peppers, onions and mushrooms in a garlic soy sauce. We like the broiled oolong marinated sea bass with sweet ginger soy sauce, baby corn and spinach. Try the stir-fried dan dan noodles with scallions, garlic, chili peppers and ground chicken garnished with shredded cucumber and bean sprouts. For dessert, the banana spring rolls with coconut-pineapple ice cream and Great Wall of Chocolate are legendary. Reservations are accepted for eight or more at the Captain's Table. |
