What's in the Buddha's Feast Steamed?
At 180 calories per serving, the Buddha's Feast Steamed represents about 9% of a 2,000-calorie daily intake. On the macronutrient side, roughly 27% of those calories come from protein, 15% from fat, and 71% from carbohydrates — a profile typical of P.F. Chang's's Vegetarian section. Sodium is often the line to watch with sit-down chain entrees, and this dish delivers 890mg, or about 39% of the FDA's daily reference value. If you're watching salt, pairing the Buddha's Feast Steamed with a side salad (dressing on the side) and water rather than a sweetened beverage is the standard mitigation. Like most items at P.F. Chang's, the dish is built for shareable portions and is plated at restaurant scale rather than a strict single serving. Boxing half of it before you start is one of the simplest ways to bring the per-meal calorie load down meaningfully without giving up the experience.
How this fits a 2,000-calorie day
One serving of the Buddha's Feast Steamed supplies 180 calories, which represents roughly 9% of a 2,000-calorie reference day. That is on the lighter side for a sit-down restaurant entrée and gives a comfortable margin to add a starter, a side, or even dessert without crowding the day's caloric budget.
The macronutrient split lands at roughly 24% protein, 63% carbohydrate and 13% fat by calorie share — a useful frame because raw gram counts often understate how much of a dish's energy actually comes from fat. Protein delivery at 12g is in the ordinary mid-range for the category — enough to anchor a meal, not high enough to be the dish's selling point.
Sodium clocks in at 890mg, or about 39% of the FDA's 2,300mg daily reference value. That is well within a reasonable share for a single meal and gives plenty of room for the rest of the day.
Allergen profile
Soy
The Buddha's Feast Steamed is flagged for Soy in the chain's posted allergen panel. Soy normally arrives via soybean oil used for frying or via soy lecithin in commodity sauces, both of which are common across the casual-dining segment. Cross-contact in a shared kitchen is always possible, so when in doubt, ask the floor manager.

Ordering strategy
If the Buddha's Feast Steamed is the entrée you want, the highest-leverage adjustments are usually the ones that change the surrounding meal rather than the dish itself. Because the entrée itself is moderate, you have headroom for an appetizer or a starter side without dropping into restrictive territory — useful for a longer dinner where the goal is to stretch the meal rather than minimize it. Sauces, dressings and finishing oils are routinely the largest hidden source of calories on a casual-dining plate; getting them on the side gives you direct portion control without changing the dish you actually want to eat.

The bottom line
The Buddha's Feast Steamed from P.F. Chang's is a light entry on the chain's menu at 180 calories and 890mg of sodium per serving. Protein content is on the lower side for an entrée — pairing with a protein-forward side or starter is the obvious adjustment. Anyone tracking sodium specifically — including most people on blood-pressure medication — should weigh this dish against the chain's lower-sodium options on the same menu before committing.
