When you’re craving lettuce wraps, Mongolian beef, or dumplings, there’s only one place that hits the spot—P.F. Chang’s. And with more than 200 locations in the U.S., the restaurant has lots of fans.
But if you're counting your macros, some of the food at P.F. Chang's can still be on the heavier side, with sodium levels through the roof for some entrees, says Summer Yule, RD. (So be sure to stay hydrated!).
Adrienne Ngai, RD, a registered dietitian based in Canada, points out that P.F. Chang's serves its own take on several different Asian cuisines. You can find Chinese food on the menu, but they also have options like sushi, ramen, Korean bulgogi, and tempura. If you're familiar with Chinese cuisine, you'll also notice that some of the Chinese food items that they do offer have been "Americanized"' says Ngai. "For example, mapo tofu on the P.F. Chang’s menu is deep-fried tofu, but typically it is made with unfried, soft tofu," she says.
Traditional homemade Chinese food doesn't deep-fry anything very often, adds Ngai. "It is most often prepared by stir-fry, using minimal oil, steaming, boiling, and braising, rather than deep-frying." She also recommends keeping tabs on how much sauce your dishes are swimming in, since more sauce can result in more sodium, sugar, oil, and ultimately more calories.
That said, when you order, don't stress about sticking to the "skinny" or "clean" menu, says Meme Inge, RDN. "The most important part of enjoying a meal is to order something you are excited to eat." But she does recommend choosing "a meal that has at least one serving of vegetables, to help your body feel good from the inside out."
Still, if you do want to opt for something on the healthier side, here's what nutritionists would order at P.F. Chang's.
