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 get take out from PF Changs. Love the Lemon Scallops, Ginger Chicken, Phillips Better Lemon Chicken, Singapore Street Noodles and Chocolate Dome.

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!!! :(

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
