Ginseng Modern Asian Cuisine

The menu marks many items GFO or GF, and the owner is described as knowledgeable about coeliac needs, able to adapt most dishes using gluten-free soy sauce. Staff are accommodating and will check sauces. However, the kitchen states it cannot prevent cross-contamination and this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Best for confident coeliacs willing to discuss needs with staff in advance.

Soy-free

confidence 55% ·

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 notes gluten-free soy sauce is used for GF adaptations, implying soy sauce is available. The owner can adapt meals. However, the kitchen cannot prevent cross-contamination and soy is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine. Best to discuss with staff who are reportedly accommodating.

Nut-free

confidence 60% ·

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.

The menu explicitly lists peanuts and nuts in multiple dishes (Satay Skewers, Korean Fried Chicken Ribs, Supreme Pack) and the kitchen cannot prevent cross-contamination. Items like Satay Skewers contain peanuts directly. Not recommended for anyone with nut or peanut allergy.
