Ghee (clarified butter) is used in Indian food, not Chinese food. That seems very unlikely, and it is not shown on the allergen and nutrition charts (available on their website). The manager of the Columbus OH PF Chang's repeatedly turns away vegan customers by warning them that nothing on the menu is vegan because they use bone-char-filtered sugar. When my dining companions and I told her that we're not that strict, she had a derisive attitude. The Columbus manager's behavior plus Kelly's experience makes me wonder if some PF Chang's employees are making an effort to turn away vegan customers. Why would PF Chang’s use ghee?

The only dish that is vegan is the steamed veggies and rice. I even sent an email to PF Chang's directly and was told the same thing. this was in the last year.
