Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 OMG!!! PF Changs is one of my FAVORITE places EVER!!!! I don't know what to tell you about " safe " foods. They do serve steamed brown rice on request and I guess you could get steamed veggies and tofu. The crispy honey shrimp is to die for!!!! Maybe order that and freeze it for your next free day!! Have fun! > okay, so i'm going to pf changs tonight for dinner. i've never been. has anyone else? what's safe? i've already had my free day this week. > > monica > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I just recently went there. I had the moo goo gai pan. You can go to thier web site and look at thier menu http://www.pfchangs.com/cuisine/menu_main.jsp you can down load it ( if you have adobe) and it tells you the protein and carb content for the items) one serving on the moo goo was 441 cal 64 pro 19 carbs and 12 fat. I ate half of that. Hope that site helps.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I eat Chinese at least once a week and can eat clean there. Avoid all the rice. Have either the moo goo gai pan or a shrimp dish with steamed veggies. I never have to call my Chinese eat outs a free meal because it is so easy to eat clean if you tell them to leave out the MSG and steam the veggies. If they bring rice my husband and kids eat it.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi Aimee and others, I am a south bay resident who used to frequent the Sunnyvale & Palo Alto P.F. Changs and order from the GF menu. I recently spoke with the manager at Sunnyvale regarding the rice noodles on the GF menu. To my dismay, he told me that when preparing GF rice noodles in the kitchen, they cook them in the same water as they do their regular wheat noodles. I informed him of the serious cross-contamination issue here and he was NOT particulary concerned. Please be aware that you may very well get sick from their Singapore rice noodles and other rice noodle dishes.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 My teenage celiac daughter and two of her friends all became ill (my daughter seriously so) after a dinner at P.F. Chang's Sunnyvale last November. We think that the fellow who boxed up the take-home items must have used a spoon that had wheat soy sauce on it. We're not going back, but I pass this on to others who don't mind going there. Box the leftovers yourself! (I now do that at other places that are more careful, such as Maggiano's.)
