At P.F. Chang’s, the most keto-friendly option is the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce for 10g of net carbs. While most items here are cooked in sugary sauces, you can still enjoy some of them with slight portion control.
Asian cuisine is widely popular for its sugar and carbs (thanks to all the sauces, glaze, and seasonings). And PF Chang’s is no exception.
If you’ve been on keto for a while, you pretty much know the basic things to avoid: noodles, rice, dumplings, sushi rolls.
Then they also have offerings like ‘Chicken Lettuce Wraps’ that sound keto-friendly at first. But in reality, the rich sauces and marinades push its carb count to over 60 grams.
That’s why we are here to help!
This guide contains over 20 low-carb and keto-friendly options that you can savor at PF Chang’s.
While some dishes you can have all by yourself, others you might have to split with a friend because of the large portion sizes (and higher carbs).
