P.F. Chang’s is a well-loved American restaurant serving delicious Asian-inspired food, especially Chinese and Japanese dishes. It started back in 1993, thanks to Paul Fleming and Philip Chiang. People quickly fell in love with their unique style of mixing traditional Asian recipes with a modern twist. Some crowd favorites are Chang’s Lettuce Wraps, Mongolian Beef, and various sushi rolls. The restaurants are pretty cool, often decked out with big murals and Asian art, making it a fun place to eat.
Besides eating in, you can also get P.F. Chang’s for takeout or delivery, which is handy if you want to enjoy their tasty food at home. They’ve opened up spots worldwide, and while the menu stays pretty consistent, they tweak it a bit to match local tastes. They use fresh ingredients and make their sauces from scratch, so everything tastes perfect whether you eat there or at home. P.F. Chang’s aims to give you a great food experience every time.
P.F. Chang’s is also an excellent spot for those following a vegan lifestyle, thanks to the naturally vegan-friendly nature of many Asian dishes. Their menu includes Buddha’s Feast, a delicious mix of tofu and fresh vegetables, and the Stir-Fried Eggplant with a sweet chili soy glaze. These dishes highlight the restaurant’s commitment to fresh ingredients and bold flavors, making it easy for vegans to find tasty and satisfying meals. Whether vegan or just looking to enjoy some plant-based options, P.F. Chang’s offers plenty of delicious choices.
What are the vegan options at PF Changs?
Most Asian-style restaurants have different vegan options since those dishes are vegan by default. But what about Pf Changs, is there anything vegan? Here is the list of every possibly vegan menu item at P.f. Chang’s:
- Edamame,
- Chili Garlic Green Beans,
- Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps,
- Buddha’s Feast (steamed and stir-fried),
- Stir-Fried Eggplant,
- Ma Po Tofu,
- Steamed White Rice and
- Steamed Brown Rice.
That’s all. At the same time, P.F. Chang’s vegan options are better than Panda Express – especially since vegan orange chicken is gone for good -but still far from Pei Wei. Let’s see the details!
The best vegan options at P.F. Changs
These menu items are pretty decent and also 100 percent plant-based.
Ma Po Tofu
Crispy silken tofu, sweet-spicy red chili sauce, with steamed broccoli. You can choose white and brown rice or lo mein noodles. Unfortunately, fried rice isn’t vegan. Also, you can have extra tofu and broccoli, and you can make it extra spicy.
Buddha’s Feast
Tofu, savory white sauce, garlic, green beans, mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. You can choose white, brown, or noodle rice as a side. Furthermore, you can order it with extra tofu, peas, mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, and spicy.
Stir-Fried eggplant
My personal favorite vegan dish at P.F. Changs is the Chinese eggplant with sweet chili soy glaze, green onion, and garlic. It comes with white, brown rice or noodles for extra.
Edamame
Young soybeans are a must-have side dish at an Asian restaurant. They are super healthy, super tasty, and nourishing. Nothing else is better than steamed fresh edamame with salt.
P.F. Changs as a vegan in a nutshell
While I would expect more from an Asian-styled restaurant, still isn’t that bad as a vegan at P.F. Changs. There are many tremendous missed opportunities since many dishes contain hardly removable eggs. Still, there are a few decent vegan meal items on the menu. Ma Po Tofu, Stir-fried eggplant, and Buddha’s Feast are naturally vegan and quite great. Also, there are a few great side dish options, such as Edamame. As I mentioned before, P.F. Chang’s vegan options aren’t as good as Pei Wei’s, but it is worth a visit, in my opinion.
