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

The official menu lists 'Vegan Spicy Sour Soup' and 'Vegan Tomato Soup' as named items, and the Uber Eats listing labels the Tomato Soup explicitly as '(Vegan)' and 'entirely plant-based'. However, no allergen-marking convention is applied across the full menu, there is no dedicated vegan section or systematic labelling, and the open-fridge self-serve model with shared tongs and communal cooking surfaces creates meaningful cross-contamination risk. Staff awareness is implied by the naming but not evidenced structurally.

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

The menu includes 'Vegan Spicy Sour Soup' and 'Vegan Tomato Soup', plus rice and various vegetable-capable dishes, indicating some plant-based options exist. However, the self-serve open-fridge model with shared tongs and the broth using Angus beef tallow (per the homepage) means vegetarian options share preparation surfaces with meat. No systematic vegetarian labelling is present on the menu.

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

Seafood items are present (prawn wontons, prawn spring rolls, seafood mix bowl) alongside meat-heavy dishes. Pescatarians could select seafood/vegetable ingredients in the build-your-own model, but the shared open-fridge and communal cooking environment means co-mingling with meat is likely. No dedicated pescatarian labelling exists.

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

The menu prominently features shellfish across multiple items: 'Crispy Prawn Spring Rolls', 'Spicy Pork and Prawn Wonton Soup', 'Non-Spicy Pork and Prawn Wonton Soup', and 'Seafood Mix Bowl'. The self-serve open-fridge model with shared tongs and communal hotpot cooking means shellfish is pervasive and cross-contamination is structurally unavoidable. Not appropriate for shellfish-anaphylaxis diners.
