P.F. Chang's is a real line of Chinese-themed restaurants that is spoofed on South Park. Despite the restaurant specializing in Chinese food, the chain originated in America instead of China.

It has been seen four times in the show. The first time it was seen was in "A Million Little Fibers". Towelie had a job there at the beginning of the episode. However, he was so high that he got fired.

It was also seen in "The China Probrem". It played a major role here, for it was where Cartman and Butters went to find out about the Chinese Invasion. They ended up holding everyone there hostage.

It was mentioned in "More Crap", where Randy Marsh created the largest crap, the size of which he attributed to his eating of General Tso's Chicken at P.F. Chang's, as well as Aunt Jemima frozen sausage biscuits and kimchi. A photograph of Randy eating at P.F. Chang's is shown on the news during their story on his attempt to reclaim the record for the world's largest crap.

In "Obama Wins!", it was mentioned briefly when Kyle Broflovski won a gift certificate for $5000 to the restaurant. The prize was for being the one millionth individual to mention the "General Tso's Chicken" joke. After winning, Stan and Kyle can be seen eating P.F. Chang's takeout on the sidewalk.
