I left my restaurant guide at home & I won't be able to go back to get it before dining at Pei Wei tonight. Can someone tell me what it says about the Pei Wei Mongolian, please?

Hi - here's a link to the Dining Guide:

But Pei Wei is not in it. I know that the guide always seems to favor restaurants on the east coast/southeast and Pei Wei is more of a southwestern thing - location wise, not food obviously LOL! They are quite popular here but I have never eaten there. I did a quick look at their menu - obviously the rice and noodle bowls are out. Their lettuce wraps have a lot of sugar. Their Asian Chopped Chicken Salad is the only thing I see that looks okay as the sugar is low in the dressing - but its high in the Spicy Chicken Salad so that one wouldn't be a good choice.
Some of their "Signature Dishes" may be okay because you can chose to have them with brown rice - but most are pretty high in sugar. The two LOWEST are the Mongolian and the Pei Wei Spicy w/8g sugar. Most of others are well above 11g sugar per serving (and the Orange Peel has 33g!). Now a small amount could be coming from the veggies, so I think I'd feel okay with the 8g sugar and the brown rice being on phase 3 or a very well established phase 2 for an occasional thing. I don't think I'd risk it if I was at all prone to cravings though.
