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!!! :(

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
