I've actually used the PF Chang's option four times in the last month. Flying AA, it was actually pretty simple to enter at TBIT now they have Pre-Check. I headed upstairs, had lunch/dinner at PF Chang's and then walked over to T4 for my flights.
I can get a decent amount of food for the $30 credit. You check in at the hostess station (have yet to be asked for a boarding pass) and they scan your card and present you with a receipt/voucher. You can choose the dining room or the bar - the latter is faster. Then you give your server voucher and you're all done.
Just remember to use a separate form of payment to tip your server!

Thanks, I'm traveling alone and have three cards, do you know if PF Chang let you stack credit?

Anyone tried the Rock N Brews for breakfast or otherwise on PP?
They're in Terminal 1, which means if I'm Delta'ing in to T3, I've got to walk out of security, but I've got a three hour layover so sure I could do that. Just didn't want to trek over there, do the in-and-out of TSA twice if they routinely turn away PPs or somesuch...
But... hot breakfast after a long HNL>LAX flight sounds worth the stroll.

In the evenings LAX is effectively a no-Priority Pass lounge airport.
The T2 VS lounge is only available until 10:45am, the KAL lounge rejects PP after 6pm and the AS lounge has the no-PP sign out almost permanently. PF Chang's is really the only non-T1 benefit and I'm willing to bet they will drop PP just as Barney's Beanery and Campanile quickly did for likely the same reasons.
If you're based in LA and don't get PP as a benefit with a credit/charge card, you might want to save your money and not bother investing in one.

The KIX KE lounge conditions are clear: Conditions Maximum 2 hour stay - Limited to two guests per cardholder -
But these conditions for the Botejyu restaurant (KIX) are a bit fuzzy. They give an example or one or two, but don't have a limit per se.
Conditions1. Cardholders can use their lounge visit entitlement to receive JPY3,400 off the bill. Each JPY3,400 deduction represents a single lounge visit within the Cardholders existing lounge visit allocation for which the Cardholder will, where applicable, be charged. E.g. if a Cardholder registers 1 Guest they will receive JPY6,800 off their bill which will be charged as 1 Cardholder visit + 1 Guest visit on their account. Only 1 Card per visit per Cardholder will be accepted and at point of registration.

Nothing shady. Traveling with two people. I guess it is up to each lounge/restaurant.
