P.F. CHANG’S SECOND QUARTER REVENUES GROW 28%

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA (June 30, 2004) P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFCB) reported today that revenues increased 28% to $175.3 million for the second quarter ended June 27, 2004 from $136.6 million in the second quarter of 2003. Sales at the company’s P.F. Chang’s China Bistro units accounted for $152.5 million of consolidated revenues while sales at the company’s Pei Wei Asian Diner units accounted for $22.8 million of consolidated revenues.

Comparable store sales at the Bistro increased 2.3% for the second quarter of 2004 as compared to the second quarter of 2003. The increase was the result of customer traffic growth as well as a price increase of approximately 1% implemented at the beginning of the second quarter of 2004. Comparable store sales increased 3.7% for the five-week period ending May 2nd, 2.0% for the four-week period ending May 30th and 0.9% for the four-week period ending June 27th.

During the second quarter of 2004, the company opened two new Bistro units (Wichita, KS and Burbank, CA) and six new Pei Wei units (Tulsa, OK; Mesa, AZ; Austin, TX; Colorado Springs, CO; Kingwood, TX; and Katy, TX).

The company intends to release its second quarter earnings results on July 21, 2004 at approximately 7:00 am ET. A conference call will be held later that same day at 1:00 pm ET. A webcast of the conference call can be accessed at www.pfchangs.com
