Vegan

confidence 0.60 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Multiple restaurants in Chinatown Melbourne offer clearly marked vegan options, including Gong De Lin (100% plant-based), Shandong Mama (vegan dumplings), and others. However, these are individual venues within the district, not a single venue-wide policy. Cross-contamination risk is shared kitchen dependent.
