P.F. Chang’s has permanently shuttered its Dunwoody location, at 500 Ashwood Pkwy, in the Ashwood Restaurant Park development.
A call to the eatery confirms the Asian-themed, casual dining restaurant’s last day was April 26, 2020.
“Thank you for calling P.F. Chang’s at the Perimeter,” a telephone recording states.
“It has been our pleasure to serve the Atlanta community. However, we would like to inform you that as of April 26, 2020, we have made the very difficult decision to close at this location…”
P.F. Chang’s closed its doors to make way for the incoming Publix-anchored Perimeter Marketplace development from Branch Properties.
“We tried to work with P.F. Chang’s on reopening as part of Perimeter Marketplace, but they opted not to,” Richard M. Wiles, a leasing associate with Branch, Wednesday told What Now Atlanta (WNA) in a telephone interview.
“While we would have loved to keep P.F. Chang’s, we’ve signed on some great restaurant tenants for the new development.”
Wiles was not able to comment on secured leases for the development.
Reps for P.F. Chang’s on Wednesday did not immediately respond to WNA’s request for comment.

A totally messy idea from the get-go. Multiple names for multiple venues within one other strangely-named “master venue.” I had no idea when any of them were open or whether they were casual, sit-down, etc. It was a poorly conceived mess and I was waiting for it to close from about month two of being open. Customers do not want to guess at what a place is, where to order, which restaurant is actually open during what hours, etc.
No surprise here. It’s within walking distance of my home and every time I went it was closed. And it was always at reasonable hours of the day. No hours were posted so I could plan when to be there. It was a total mess from day one. Hopefully, someone with business sense will open something in its place.
Poor marketing to the Midtown community from the get-go. I stumbled upon it and I’m only 4 blocks away. Once I tried it, I found it nothing more than an expensive food court with extremely limited choices.
We loved the vibe, the staff and the food. We went before every event at the Fox this season. We’ll miss it terribly!!
This was not the concept (in its most high level form) but totally the execution, especially the marketing. No one knew about it and it had the weirdest hours, layout, and setup.
Couldn’t agree more. Excellent concept, poorly executed. The manager was the only person working most days because the staff had no idea what they were doing. We tried to give it chance after chance and it did get better after the reorganization but the writing was on the wall.
I only recently started going to Harry Bakes, but the last couple of times I was there the food and service had slipped a bit. I am, however, disappointed there’s now no place in Midtown to get a Mallorcan sweet bread.
I stopped going because I was constantly harnessed by aggressive panhandling while walking there and while sitting on the patio. VERY UNFORTUNATE 🙁
