P.F. Chang’s is going all out for the holidays this year with a new menu featuring everything from king crab dumplings and Hokkaido scallops to fire-roasted duck and a dessert that comes with a little tableside entertainment. And if you’re used to ordering the restaurant’s Mongolian Beef or Chang’s Spicy Chicken, there are some interesting new options to consider.
The limited-time offerings are part of P.F. Chang’s “Bright Nights. Festive Flavors.” campaign, inspired by Japan’s winter illuminations and featuring actor Harry Shum Jr. The menu is available nationwide from Nov. 4, 2026, through Jan. 26, 2027, and it also includes a new bourbon cocktail, returning favorites and a three-course holiday meal starting at $30 per person.

I recently visited P.F. Chang’s with my family to try the new dishes, and we decided to order everything family-style so everyone could get a taste. We also added some of our usual favorites, including Egg Drop Soup, Crispy Honey Shrimp and Orange Chicken for my toddler.
I came hungry, and P.F. Chang’s knocked it out of the park. The food was delicious, the portions were perfect for sharing, and one sauce was so good I would’ve taken a bottle home if I could. Here’s how everything tasted and what you can expect if you’re planning a visit.
Fortune & Fire Cocktail

We kicked things off with the Fortune & Fire Cocktail, and I have to give P.F. Chang’s credit for the presentation. The drink arrived covered with a lid, and when it was lifted, smoke came pouring out of the glass. It was a fun way to start the meal and definitely caught my attention.
The cocktail is made with WhistlePig PiggyBack 6-Year Bourbon, Disaronno, pomegranate, lemon and Fever-Tree ginger beer. With all those ingredients, I was expecting a little more from the flavor, especially the pomegranate and lemon. Both were noticeable, but neither stood out as much as I’d hoped.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the cocktail, and the smoky presentation was a nice touch. It just wasn’t my favorite drink, and I’d probably try something else on my next visit.

King Crab Gyoza

The King Crab Gyoza was a great appetizer to start with, especially if you’re a seafood lover. The dumplings feature king crab, garlic, scallions, yuzu ponzu, lemon and soy sauce, served with a dashi miso butter sauce.
I enjoyed the combination of citrus and savory flavors, with the lemon and yuzu ponzu adding a little tanginess to each bite. The crab was delicious, but I have to say, the sauce was my favorite part.
The dashi miso butter sauce was rich, buttery and savory, with what tasted like a slight hint of spice. I could’ve eaten it with just about anything, and I’m not exaggerating. Seriously, if P.F. Chang’s ever decides to sell this stuff by the bottle, I’d be first in line. It’s that good.
Dashi Risotto With Seared Hokkaido Scallops

I’m a big fan of scallops, so I was especially excited to try the Dashi Risotto with Seared Hokkaido Scallops. The dish features seared scallops served over dashi risotto with black garlic aioli, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, truffle oil and bonito flakes. The scallops were cooked perfectly. They were tender, buttery and seasoned just right, without being rubbery or tough.
As for the risotto, I could’ve easily eaten a whole bowl of it on its own. The black garlic aioli, Parmesan and truffle oil gave it a rich, savory flavor, and the different mushrooms added some variety to each bite. I loved how much flavor was packed into the risotto without any single ingredient taking over. This was definitely one of my favorites of the evening.
Fire-Roasted Crispy Duck

The Fire-Roasted Crispy Duck was easily one of my favorite dishes of the evening. I don’t usually order duck when dining out, but after trying this, I might have to start ordering it more often. It’s served with warm roti, hoisin sauce and thinly sliced vegetables, so you can make your own wraps and add as much or as little sauce as you’d like.
The duck was cooked perfectly, with tender, juicy meat that wasn’t the least bit dry. I also loved the roti, which had a slight crispness but was still soft enough to wrap around the duck and vegetables. The fresh veggies added a little crunch, and everything tasted delicious together.
I tried the duck with both hoisin sauce and cherry chutney, and I actually preferred combining the two. The hoisin added some sweetness, while the cherry brought a sweet-and-sour flavor that went really well with the meat. I’d recommend trying both sauces together, although you really can’t go wrong with either one. My family loved this dish, and it’s one I’d definitely recommend sharing if you’re dining with a group.

Honey Sesame Crème Brûlée

We finished our meal with the Honey Sesame Crème Brûlée, and I have to say, this was one delicious dessert. It’s made with vanilla bean custard, toasted white sesame and a caramelized sugar topping. But P.F. Chang’s doesn’t just bring it out ready to eat. Your server actually torches it right at the table. I loved watching the flames as our server finished preparing the dessert, and the presentation made it even more exciting to try.
The first thing I noticed was the sesame, which had a distinct nutty flavor that reminded me of tahini. I especially appreciated how prominent it was, rather than getting lost in the sweetness of the dessert. The custard was smooth and creamy, and the caramelized sugar topping was delicious. I honestly can’t remember enjoying a crème brûlée more than this one.
If you’re planning to order dessert, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try. Just keep in mind that it’s only available for dine-in because of the tableside presentation.
Is P.F. Chang’s New Holiday Menu Worth Trying?
Absolutely! P.F. Chang’s has plenty of longtime favorites, but I’m glad we ventured beyond our usual orders. The holiday selections were delicious, and I think there’s something here for just about everyone. My family and I had a wonderful experience, and I’d happily return for another meal.
Whether you’re planning a holiday dinner or just want to try something new, I’d recommend checking it out. The seasonal menu is available through Jan. 26, 2027, so there’s plenty of time to give it a taste.
