Pei Wei

Awful! I ordered the bourbon chicken with white rice that was marked as gluten-free on the menu. When she gave me my meal, I looked through the dome top that was on it and it looked like a different kind of chicken that was breaded. I said, “are you sure this is gluten-free?” She said “yes.” When I brought it back to the table and opened it, it was clearly breaded chicken, probably orange chicken. I took it back to the counter and opened it and said that I was sorry to bother her again, but this looks like it was breaded and I have a gluten allergy. She apologized, and I heard her talking with the cooks. They seemed really annoyed. I should’ve known that I probably just shouldn’t eat whatever I was given next. They gave me a new meal, I guess it was the bourbon chicken and I ate it. By the next morning, I could tell I had been glutened and have felt awful since. I should’ve known better! It’s a visible, tiny cooking area, so it’s clear that even if food is gluten free, it’s very likely cross contaminated.

Fresh food and menu was easy to find what was gluten free. Staff new that soy sauce can gluten. Didn’t give a 5 only because of the limited choices for gluten free food.

Good food and I've never gotten sick

Ordered sweet and sour chicken with white rice. The cashier said that in order for the dish to be gluten free i could only have white rice with it, plus it would take a little while longer than normal because they had to make sure it was safe for me to eat :) i appreciate that! Makes me feel a bit safer :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered sweet and sour chicken with brown rice from menu. Told the staff I needed it gf due to allergy. Felt sick a few minutes in and tested with my Nima-gluten found. Staff denied I mentioned allergy only that I requested gf rice. Really? At the airport...

Celiac friendly?

No

Don't come here if cross contamination is an issue for you. They have a limited menu so only two things are considered gf but the kitchen size prevents them from cooking anything gf without cross contamination.

The server was very helpful when I was ordering. There were two items marked on the menu that were able to be made into gluten-free options. Then she said also the Pad Thai could as well. Items came out marked with a gluten-free sticker on them.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free

They have an entire gluten free menu that I had no idea about. It’s delicious and clearly marked on the to-go container!

If you are local to Saint Louis county and remember the bourbon chicken from the mall back in the 90’s… this is extremely close to it!!!! My heart and soul feel refilled!
