I ordered on Door Dash from this PeiWei and got the chicken fried rice. It was honestly really boring, but didn't gluten me at all. If you ordered it with lots of individually added veggies, it could maybe be good - but at that point it's more money than it is worth when there are so many other Asian restaurants about!

They used to have really great sweet & sour chicken but seems like they don't anymore.

Symptomatic Celiac

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.

Stopped here for a quick dinner before our flight in terminal A. So glad we did! Many gf options or can be modified to gf. Online menu notes which ones. Our server was knowledgeable about gf, answered our questions, and made recommendations. We had Mongolian Beef and Chicken w/Broccoli. No issues afterwards.

Before ordering I asked questions. They do have gluten free soy sauce. They do have foods on the menu listed as GF. I got gf spicy shrimp and did tell them it’s an allergy. They did tell me it was gf when they brought my food out. It was delicious and no problems.

If I could rate negative stars I would. Spoke to manager, explained that I have celiacs and am EXTREMELY allergic and sensitive to cross contamination. She seemed knowledgeable and assured me that extra precautions (including change gloves, fresh utensils, new pots, etc.). I got the meal she recommended. I became sick within 10 minutes of eating it. This was the sickest I have ever gotten in the 12 years since I was diagnosed. Do not go here! Beware!!

Drew was knowledgeable and helpful in ensuring that my meal was gluten free and ensured kitchen staff knew I had an allergy. There was plenty of dishes to choose from and staff was well trained to provide a gluten free experience!

Ordered takeout from this location numerous times. Only had one slight reaction, but couldn’t tell why (gluten or shellfish cross-contamination?). Online ordering doesn’t allow for specific dietary exclusion, but a phone call was sufficient to explain details.
