I always get sick after eating here. They seem very uneducated about celiac disease and what cross contamination means so they are not celiac friendly at all.

My daughter is celiac and ordered gf pad thai. She received noodles with chicken and vegetables, no sauce. It was gross. She had ordered it to go and didn't check it before she left. She is traveling from out of state with her athletic team, so there was nothing she could do about it. It was so bad that she threw it away and didn't have dinner that night. Very disappointing..

Although I have loved eating here before being diagnosed with celiac, I would no eat here being gf. I have tried to eat here countless times and every time I end up getting sick. Although I wish I could eat here, it is not the best for someone with celiac disease.

Great lunch! They had gluten free offerings for most dishes and were more gf aware than most restaurants around the UA.

This Pei Wei has slapped GF stickers on regular entrees, had stray and noodles in my rice, and gave me an entirely different person's order. Don't trust them.

It's unfortunate they only offer 2 GF items - and with only 2 different sauce choices.

It would be great for us (Celiac's) if they would use GF soy sauce to make ALL of their sauces. It makes no sense why they don't, because they give you packets of GF soy sauce when you order take out.

The good news is....you can choose white rice, brown rice, or rice noodles to go with your choice of meat.

I LOVE the fact you can get the chicken or shrimp grilled or steamed with NO breading on it. I also love that they DO offer a GF breading-like coating made from potato starch for those of us who like a coating once in a while.

I've recently tried this restaurant for the first time. I'm glad to say I'll be eating at Pei Wei's at least 2x per week for the rest of my life.

The food is delicious, they have good prices, and the inside decoration & layout is very appealing. I love the atmosphere here.

If they take my advice about their sauces, I'll be eating here 3-5x per week! It's THAT darn good. =)

Ordered Pei Wei for the first time, and was SO happy to see they had a gluten free menu! But was I wrong. I had an almost immediate reaction to their chicken fried rice that said it was on the gluten free menu. My suspicion is that they used regular soy sauce in the rice. Caused me a major reaction. Do not recommend if you have celiac

My go to is the salted edamame and the beef broccoli and rice. I tell them it needs to be gluten free and they always take the extra precautions. The food is always delicious and they always mark it GF.

I had not been to Pei Wei in a LONG time. I was given a giftcard so decided to pick something up for my kids. After looking at the new menu.... there were tons of GF items! I ordered several different items and they were all fantastic. I am very sensitive to CC so I was a little worried, but it all turned out great!

The lady literally said everything on the menu was gluten free, holy wow. Then we tried to order the fried rice gf because it said that was an option and then the kitchen said they couldn’t do the rice gf. I would not trust the menu or staff.

The employee hardly listened as I explained that we needed to avoid cross-contamination. She was quick to insist that they understand gluten free and that people eat there all the time without getting sick. Within minutes, my son with Celiac became sick. Definitely not safe for this with Celiac.
