Your Guide to Vegan Options at Pei Wei Asian Kitchen

Published by Rebecca Maness.

Have you ever wondered what’s vegan at Pei Wei Asian Kitchen? Pei Wei’s vegan options include customizable stir-fried rice bowls with flavors inspired by Chinese and Thai cuisines. The fast-casual chain lists vegetarian options on its menu with a green leaf icon, but some of these contain honey and butter. However, don’t worry—it’s totally possible to enjoy an animal-friendly meal by opting for these vegan choices.

Note: Please confirm ingredients with the individual restaurant, as cooking methods and ingredients may vary by location.

  • Honey-Seared: Pei Wei uses the word “honey” to describe this dish’s sweet flavor, but it’s not actually made with honey! The sauce, which has a garlicky kick, is served with red bell peppers, scallions, and crispy rice sticks.
  • Sweet & Sour: The sweet and sour sauce is served with pineapple, red bell peppers, snap peas, onions, and fresh ginger.
  • Thai Dynamite: This spicy dish has a Sriracha soy sauce, which is tossed with Thai basil, red bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and onions.
