I have not had the opportunity to go to PF Chang's yet. Soooo I have a few questions for you.

1) What is the price range?

2) Can you do take out there or is it only a sit down and eat place?

3)What would you recommend to eat?? (what is your favorite thing).

Thanks for the help.

I have only been there once but it was wonderful. I had a crispy, spicy chicken (not sure of what it was called) gluten-free lettuce wraps, white rice, and tea. They were so good to me and let me know what I could and couldn't put on it.

It usually costs me and my fiance about $40 to eat there, i think its about $12 per entree. We usually get the spicy chicken, garlic snap peas, and some other dish depending on what we feel like.

You can do takeout there but we usually eat in. The one by me has special parking and curbside service for picking up orders.

Hi! I'm Liz, new to the gluten free forum here. I have been to PF Chang's MANY a time now...it's one of my favorite places to go! Here's some of the great options:

Gluten free lettuce wraps (with a gluten free sauce)

Singapore Street Noodles...this was the first dish I tried, and for months never tried anything else because they were sooo tasty.

Chang's Spicy Chicken is excellent...(that was the first new thing I tried and loved that too!)

oh and they have a special gluten free martini, it's made with potato vodka and white grape juice...it's pretty good!

and yes, you can do either dine in or take out, they don't deliver of course, but you can just put your order in with the hostess, or they send you right back to the kitchen area (at least in the one in Park Plaza sometimes does that).

I am a little wary of the new PF Chang's in the Prudential center...I ordered take out from them once, and didn't check it before I left, but it tasted different than the singapore street noodles I normally get, so I stopped eating them unfortunately...it was like they forgot the lovely gluten free sauce! didn't get sick but I barely ate any noodle-goodness.

oh here's the link to the gluten free menu, which has prices on there, too!:

Enjoy, and let us know if you try anything different, it's like I can't go there enough to try new things! I haven't even tried the gluten free lettuce wraps yet! I need to go soon, I'm drooling a little bit. :D

it's about $8-18 a plate, not including rice.

you can do take out, I think, but I've never done it and don't know anyone who'd done it. (you could always call and ask. it's definitely more of a sit down place.)

I usually get the lettuce wraps and broccoli and chicken and garlic snap peas. :)

Shrimp in lobster sauce is good as is shrimp or scallops with snowpeas and ginger(you can request a combo)(it is very mild in flavor-almost like just simply steamed). The shrimp and scallops, in my experience, are very fresh and clean tasting. Our waiter gave us a tip-some of the entrees are served at lunch as bowls and are only the tiniest smaller portion but a couple of bucks cheaper.

I was wondering if those weren't prices beside the items on the gluten-free menu. Thanks for letting me know for sure.

My Grandpa is having heart surgery next week and I am trying to research places close to the hospital that I could eat. I was thinking that if they did take-out I could take it back to the hospital or the hotel. I am sure that people won't be too much into going to a sit down restaurant. Take-out, however, would probably work.

I love the sound of the things you guys have listed so far. Keep em comming!!

Thanks for the help.

I have eaten there twice and had the ginger chicken both times. It is very good. I got mine to go once, which was nice. I called ahead and there is a special parking spot for to go orders. Its about $15 for the chicken, brocoli and rice, but I had enough for lunch and dinner.

Like any restaurant, it seems that some PF Chang's are better than others re: gluten-free menu (or so I've been told by former Pf Chang servers)

When we go to the good ones, we get the exact same thing EVERY TIME because they are our favorites!

Appetizers:

Chicken Wraps

Shanghai Cucumbers (listed under veggies/sides)

Main Course:

Chang's Spicy Chicken

Lemon Scallops

Enjoy!

We went to PF Chang's today!!! It was good to have some chinese food after 5 years (unless I cooked it at home). I got Chang's spicy chicken and singapore street noodles. I liked them both. We got it to go and took it back to the hospital. We did a walk in order and waited for it. It was super easy and it only took them about 15 min to cook our food. Now if only I had a pf chang's closer to me!!! :(

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
