The Best Vegan Options at P.F. Chang's (2024 Menu) - VeganTwist (2024)

Side Dishes and Add-Ons

There are a few vegan side dishes on the menu that you can get with your main course. If you can’t find an appetizer or main course that you like, you can ways make your own meal by getting a few different sides and adding your favorite red chili paste or soy sauce.

White Rice, Steamed

Everyone’s go-to side. It goes well with just about everything.

Vegan-Looking (but not vegan)

Unfortunately, sometimes there are menu items that look vegan, but they are really not. Some meals are more obvious (like fried rice, which is known to be made with eggs), while others have animal products that are not explicitly called out in the description, like oyster sauce or butter. I reviewed the allergen menu on P.F. Chang’s website and found that a few of the restaurant’s vegan-looking options contain dairy, eggs, fish (or fish sauce), or shellfish.

Edamame

I thought the Edamame would be 100% vegan because it looks like they just add some kosher salt, but according to the allergens chart on P.F. Chang’s website, the edamame contains eggs and fish, so it is definitely not vegan.

Vegan Version

Fortunately, P.F. Chang’s also has an even better “home” version that is vegan, the Chili Garlic Edamame. You can order it on Amazon and it will be delivered via Weis Groceries.

Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts

I love crispy Brussels Sprouts. So when I saw this on the menu, I was so excited because I also love Kung Pao anything. This dish is made with wok-charred Brussels sprouts, peanuts, chili pods, and the very tasty Kung Pao sauce. However, unfortunately, the allergens chart says it also contains milk, eggs, fish, and shellfish. Needless to say, I was very sad when I found out that it was not vegan.

Crispy Green Beans

Unfortunately, anything with batter runs the risk of being non-vegan. According to P.F. Chang’s, this tempura-battered dish contains egg and shellfish. They also come with a non-vegan spicy dipping sauce.

Vegan Version

The good news is that they offer a “home” version of the Crispy Green Beans that is vegan. You can order it on Amazon and it will be delivered via Weis Groceries.

Shish*to Peppers

At first, I thought this was a safe side to order. These Japanese peppers are cooked in a savory Mongolian sauce, however, the dish also contains milk, egg, and shellfish.

Vegetable Spring Rolls

These crispy spring rolls are made with julienned veggies and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce. However, they also contain milk, egg, and shellfish.

Signature Lo Mein (Vegetable protein option)

The Vegetable Lo Mein is made with wok-tossed noodles, mushrooms, Asian vegetables, and savory soy sauce. Unfortunately, it also contains milk, eggs, and shellfish.
