Not sure what happened to this place 4 to 5 years ago they had more gluten free options. Now it’s just sad the food is questionable about the freshness and the people working there would rather be doing something else. I got sick here

I used to eat there a lot but the past two times I've been recently I've gotten cross contaminated. If you're a celiac you should probably avoid it if you can.

Always had cross-contamination issues even with there one GF dish. Eat there at your own risk. Service is always terrible. I've had better experiences at other locations with no issues with food it's just this location that is terrible.

Busy, nice little restaurant. Cashier and waitress were very helpful. Not too far from I-35, either! Big serving of Spicy Shrimp, brown rice and gf tamari sauce. I could only eat half.

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

Ordered gf fried rice and gf pad Tai noodles. Was a lot of food, delicious flavors. No issues next day, highly recommend. They were attentive to my allergy.

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!
