P.F. Chang's
P.F. Chang's is a national casual-dining chain serving Asian-inspired dishes, including wok-cooked entrees, noodles and lettuce wraps, with designated gluten-free menu sections. It publishes a national allergen matrix PDF covering wheat, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and sesame item by item, along with extra columns such as corn, sulfites and legume. It suits diners who want to review allergen content in advance and then confirm accommodations with the restaurant, as the document directs.

Questions to ask at your location
- Is the fryer shared with breaded or battered items, and what else is cooked in that oil?
- Is there a separate prep area, boards and utensils for allergy orders?
- How are staff trained on food allergies, and how often is that training refreshed?
- How is an allergy order flagged and communicated to the kitchen, so it cannot be mixed up?
- What do you do to prevent cross-contact during prep, cooking and plating?
ConfidentDiner collects allergen and preparation information from restaurants’ published materials, from restaurants themselves, and from diners. Information is dated and sourced, but menus, ingredients, suppliers, staff, and kitchen practices change without notice, and cross-contact can occur in any non-dedicated kitchen. Nothing on this site is medical advice or a guarantee that any restaurant or dish is safe for any individual. Always tell the restaurant about your allergy, confirm current practices directly before ordering, and make your own decision with your medical professional’s guidance.
