P.F. Chang’s has been a family favorite for years as it brings back fond memories. Every time my cousins visit Philly or we fly down south, we always manage to find time to have one meal at this restaurant. It’s the place where we tried to teach my left-handed cousin how to eat with chopsticks and where I celebrated my 12th (or was it 13th?) birthday with a couple of gals. It’s the wonderful memories and experiences that keep us coming back.

Anyways, to what you’re really interested in, “what’s in it for me? gluten-free?” Well, they have an excellent gluten-free menu (check it out!), which they do update as they discover new gluten-free dishes. And the servers are very well informed. And sometimes when it’s a large party, they serve the gluten-free foods on black-trimmed plates with the P.F. Chang’s trademark, so it’s easily distinguishable which is a nice touch.

From much past experience, I can say the GF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps are my go-to appetizer, and the GF Philip’s Better Lemon Chicken and GF Chang’s Spicy Chicken are entrees that never disappoint. I have heard that the GF Chang’s Spicy Chicken is comparable to the glutinous General Tso’s Chicken that one can order at nearly any Chinese takeout restaurant. The taste and texture of PF Chang’s GF chicken is as close as it gets to the flavors of the breaded favorite. At least that’s what my brother claims.

Now to dessert, I don’t even glance at the menu for this course! The GF Flourless Chocolate Dome is rich and chocolately in taste. It is heavenly with a raspberry sauce drizzled along the side. I would highly recommend it, but remember to save room!

Cheers,

Anika
