Symptomatic Celiac

Overall Rating

Review


I went here last Sunday night and was looking forward to a nice gluten free meal. Told the staff to put an "allergy alert" and that I have celiac. They seemed to know what they were doing and I felt pretty comfortable with my meal when it came out. I was about a third of the way finishing it when I discovered an egg noodle swimming in the sauce at the bottom of my bowl. Long story short, they were very apologetic and refunded my money but I did end up getting sick. I will not be going back but if you decide to take a chance, maybe make sure to ask them to be extra careful and use a clean wok. I thought I did enough but obviously not. Mistakes happen and the Manager did say he would talk to his staff about this. Good luck if you decide to go!

They have several new gluten free options, and they cook food in separate woks for every order. I have never gotten sick here. Sometimes The gluten-free dishes have a little less flavor, but otherwise good food.

They used to put gluten free food on black plates instead of white plates. I don’t know why they changed that.

Excellent fast service. Food is delicious and reminiscent of P.F. Changes (the owner of Pei Wei) at a fraction of cost. Always go when In a town with a Pei Wei.

Excellent customer service. I let them know that I was ordering gluten free to go. Made sure I knew my gluten free options. Love to go to Pei Wei's. Will be back soon. Wish it was closer. It's an hour away. Also made sure that I had gluten free soy sauce. He took that extra step.

I go here frequently, sometimes once a month and have never had issues. I enjoy the original chicken the most. Never had issues getting sick even when they are busy. They take proper precautions

Update May 2024. Continue to go here and never an issue. They have a more expanded gf menu than they used to. I have dined in and ordered online to go without issues

So, I couldn’t find anything to verify this, but the staff at the airport location said that everything on their menu is gluten free - made with corn flour, there isn’t any gluten on site. This isn’t clear from their posted menu, which notes specific things are gluten free (implying that others that aren’t marked are not). And it’s also not clear when you find the Pei Wei website and the same menu items are not marked gluten free. But I did eat one of the things not marked gluten free (because they were out of the thing I wanted that was) and did not have any symptoms afterwards.

Not a fan- didn’t look like woks were being switched in-between dishes. Not sure how or why some things are GF and others are not when ingreds are similar- made no sense - too saucy!
