Verifiably Safe, Either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or actively certified by a recognised accreditation body for this allergen.

Gong De Lin is an entirely vegetarian restaurant — no meat is on the premises. Multiple independent sources confirm the all-vegetarian kitchen as a structural fact, not a menu option.

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

The restaurant is described as 'almost entirely vegan' with the menu 'reported to be fully vegan in April 2025', but at least one source notes dairy ice cream has been served and some alcohol is not confirmed vegan-friendly; some dishes may contain honey. Staff appear willing to advise but vegan status is not structurally guaranteed across all items.

Honest caveat: At least two sources flag non-vegan items (dairy ice cream, possible honey) being present or previously served without clear warning.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

One source notes 'nuts are also common, so be sure to inform staff of allergies'; staff are described as responsive to communication but no dedicated nut-free protocol or marked menu is evidenced.

Dairy ice cream has been confirmed on the menu; a reviewer noted a waitress proactively disclosed it was non-vegan (dairy-containing) only after ordering. Dairy is present in the kitchen and no dairy-free marking is evidenced — staff will advise if asked.

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

One source explicitly states: 'Despite multiple polite requests (before and after the dish arrived!) our waitress assured us that a dish was gluten free when it was definitely not. I would not recommend trusting this place if you have health reactions to gluten.' Gluten-containing mock meats and noodles are core to the menu.

Honest caveat: A reviewer explicitly documented being incorrectly assured a dish was gluten-free when it was not, and warns against trusting the venue for gluten reactions.
