Vegetarian

A
confidence 80%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Vegetarian options are plentiful. Tofu and egg appear across the menu, and the 'Vegan' section is also vegetarian. 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. Staff can choose tofu on request.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

B
confidence 75%

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, where 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

B
confidence 70%

The menu has a vegan section. It features four tofu-based salads and bowls clearly marked VG, while several rice bowls also note that a vegan option is available. HappyCow lists vegan options here. The kitchen uses free-range eggs and offers chicken, beef, and pork proteins, so cross-contamination with animal products in the shared prep area is possible. Staff awareness is not described. For this reason, vegan diners should specify their needs when ordering.

Nut-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

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. The venue is a shared Asian-style kitchen where nuts are a core ingredient, and 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.

marked menu

Dairy-free

C
confidence 45%
Best effort ·what tier C means

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

C
confidence 40%
Best effort ·what tier C means

An egg icon marks several items, including the Tokyo Classic, New York, Coconut, Nashi, and Black Magic, all of which contain egg noodles or mayonnaise. The venue uses free-range eggs. There is no dedicated egg-free preparation area, as eggs are a standard ingredient used throughout the kitchen. Egg-allergic diners must request omission of egg-based components.

marked menu

Soy-free

C
confidence 35%
Best effort ·what tier C means

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.
