Banana Blossom Terrigal

Vegetarian options are plentiful: tofu and egg appear across the menu, the 'Vegan' section is also vegetarian, and the menu explicitly lists meat-free protein choices (tofu) for most salads and bowls. HappyCow confirms veg-options and the Uber Eats listing tags the venue as 'Vegetarian-friendly.' A shared kitchen handles meat, but vegetarian items are clearly marked and staff can choose tofu on request.

Per-allergen evidence

Vegetarian

confidence 80% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 75% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu marks many salads and bowls as GF with a dedicated icon, and rice noodle substitutions are available for several dishes that normally contain egg noodles. However, the kitchen is a shared fast-casual setup — the same space prepares wheat-containing crispy egg noodles, soya-based dressings, and battered items. No dedicated fryer or 100% gluten-free zone is mentioned. The venue advertises itself as having 'gluten-free options' rather than being a coeliac-safe kitchen. Diners with coeliac disease should confirm cross-contamination protocols with staff before ordering.

Vegan

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu has a dedicated 'Vegan' section with four tofu-based salads and bowls marked VG, and several rice bowls note a 'Vegan option available.' HappyCow lists the venue as having vegan options. The kitchen uses free-range eggs and offers chicken/beef/pork proteins, so cross-contamination with animal products in the shared prep area is possible. Staff awareness is not described. Vegan diners should specify their needs when ordering.

Nut-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Dishes containing cashews and peanuts are flagged with a 'nuts' icon (icon-n) on the menu, and some items like the Satay and Nashi salads list peanuts or cashews in ingredients. However, the venue is a shared Asian-style kitchen where nuts are a core ingredient — there is no dedicated nut-free preparation area or mention of separate utensils. The 'Vegan Chilli Tofu' and 'Triple Chilli' salads contain peanuts; the 'New York' and 'Nashi' salads contain cashews. Nut-allergic diners should call ahead to assess cross-contamination risk.

Dairy-free

confidence 45% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

A few menu items carry a 'dairy-free' icon (icon-fs), such as The Blossom, Satay, Triple Chilli, Black Magic, and several rice bowls. The menu does not systematically mark dairy across all dishes, and several items (e.g. Coconut, Nashi, Soho Bowl) lack the dairy-free icon. No dedicated dairy-free preparation area is mentioned. Dairy-intolerant diners should consult the icon key and confirm with staff.

marked menu

Egg-free

confidence 40% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The menu uses an 'egg' icon (icon-e) on several items like the Tokyo Classic, New York, Coconut, Nashi, and Black Magic, which contain egg noodles or mayonnaise. The venue states they use 'free-range eggs.' There is no dedicated egg-free preparation area; eggs are a standard ingredient in the kitchen. Egg-allergic diners must request omission of egg-based components.

marked menu

Soy-free

confidence 35% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Soy appears throughout the menu as soy and sesame oil dressing, sweet soy dressing, black soy dressing, and teriyaki sauce. The Soy Bowl is built around a sweet soy and ginger dressing. Many rice bowls and salads incorporate soy ingredients. No soy-free preparation area or marked soy-free items exist. Soy-intolerant diners should avoid most menu items and discuss alternatives with staff.
