Well, it’s up to you, and your level of comfort with eating sugar of unknown origins with the rest of the vegetarian dishes. Sad, but honest, at least. Countless other restaurants, and vegans, would never question the sugar elsewhere!

Yep, I went to the PF Changs in Columbus, Ohio and was told that only the Buddhas Feast was vegan. I’m so sad. I thought that was one place I could go with other non-vegans and get something besides steamed vegetables.

Jamie – The issue is over sugar, as stated in the review above.

Jamie – We’ve noticed that PF Chang’s is concerned about labeling their dishes vegan when they contain sugar. This may be the case with some locations, or it’s that they actually use different ingredients.

I highly recommend calling your local P.F. Changs to ask about which dishes are vegan. I say this because I just got off the phone with the manager at the Long Beach location near the Pike, where he informed me there was only one entree that was vegan (Buddha’s Feast) AND you have to request that it be prepared vegan….this way they use a special part of the kitchen away from the non-vegan food. All of the steamed veggies are vegan, also, including snap peas and other side dishes. Hope this helps!

I went there after hearing it was good for vegans, and the waitress flat out told me nothing was vegan. She said everything had oyster sauce including the soy sauce. She seemed very frustrated with me, and told me they could fry up some vegies but it wouldnt takste good. She went to the kitchen and finally came back to tell me that one item on the menu was vegan. After kind of a rude attitude she came to the table at the end of the meal to appologize and explained she needed to learn the vegan menu..

With contrasting experiences, it’s clear that we need to inquire, inquire, inquire!

Hey fellow Stumptown vegans!!

I think the food at PF Changs is yummy. However, after my experience at the one in Vegas I’m not really sure what items are 100% vegan. My husband and I could not find a vegan meal in Vegas so I dragged him to PF Changs thinking we’d have some yummy tofu lettuce wraps, etc. However, when we stated that we were vegans, the waiter went and checked out the menu with the chef. They were extremely helpful, but the news was disappointing. I guess nearly all of their sauces contain ground up bones. Yuck! We ended up having very bland tofu and veggies with soy sauce. I was really bummed to find out that the lettuce wraps could NOT be made vegan. The waiter wasn’t exactly clear as to why, but it sounded like it had to do with the marinade.

I came up with my own version of the lettuce wrap if you’d like to try mine:

I’ve been assured many, many times over (by seemingly “in the know” kinda servers) that stuff is vegan when I asked. It is a great place to go when you are with main streamers such as business lunches or with parents. The lettuce wraps also rock!
