PF Chang's has a Gluten Free Menu, please ask for it. My boyfriend eats Gluten Free with me when we go there and thinks everything tastes great. I love the fortune cookies for the fortunes but not to eat!

sensitive to CC but it does look like they cook everything on the same grill but I've eaten there with no issue numerous times.

I'm assuming much of their stuff is safe, I haven't been there since going GF but you could call ahead and ask the manager.I've also had luck at Thai Basil on street in

Sunnyvale -my favorite Thai restaurant by far, although the servers had no idea what I was talking about (I think it was more a language issue than gluten concept) so I guessed at what was safe (based on what thai food I cook myself) and was fine.----------------------------------

FYI: I got glutened their my first time. The next time I also ordered from the GF menu, but also told the waiter (who was so young, I thought he should be in diapers!!!) to ensure that the kitchen knew to use clean pans and utensils. I was ok that time, and boy was it yummy!

FYI: Fresh Choice also has a book at the register with the ingredients for most of the foods. I was able to check the ingredients for the broths and learned that their was no gluten in their clam broth or the finished chowder. Yum!

I asked about the clam chowder not too long ago. One of the ingredients in it was "roux" which is basically flour and butter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I typically stay away from all soups at restaurants because most soups do start with a roux and/ or noodles are added in.

I just had dinner there, and it was fabulous! From the GF menu we had the lemon chicken, lettuce wraps, and garlic snap peas. They even had a decadent flourless dessert! And - they even brought out a special GF tamari/soy sauce!I'm not terribly sensitive to small amounts of gluten, but so far so good.Overall a fab evening. :)On Jul 23, 2008, at 9:20 AM, Lowles wrote:PF Chang's has a Gluten Free Menu, please ask for it.
