Is this place similar to P.F. Changs or better? or is it worse?

Like I said, I've only been there once, and been to PF Changs many times... but neither the food nor the decor comes even close.

I'm pretty sure the downtown location was on the new for a bad inspection...can't remember the problem. i think food was bad due to incorrect temperature...

On the court, former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming knew how to turn up the heat, but at his self-named restaurant and bar on Main Street, inspectors wanted him to chill down the salmon, crab meat and tuna that were all stored too warm and potentially hazardous to your health.

Yao's restaurant is not very good for the price you pay. I was not impressed with the culinary skills or the presentation. The decor and ambiance are ok. This was like 4 years ago.

adding to that, Dan Marino's restaurant really sucked balls and Michael Jordans steak house didn't look special either.

Tried the place on Westheimer years ago when it open, it's was ok but overpriced, have never had a desire to go back.

I've always wondered if this commercial was shot at Yao's place. Never been there.

Yao's: nothing to write home about.

but I had a GREAT time at Ken Stabler's place in the early 80s!!!!!!!! (what was it, the Diamond Back or something) He knew more about Houston's politics than I ever thought he would....
