Hoppy Dumpling South Yarra
Hoppy Dumpling South Yarra is listed on Coeliac Australia's accredited businesses page, but the page content is a generic template and does not explicitly list Hoppy Dumpling among the accredited venues. The venue's own menu (via Uber Eats) shows no gluten-free marking on dishes. A Broadsheet article describes the menu as featuring 'thick wheat-based wrappers' for dumplings and Sichuan dandan noodles, indicating gluten is a core ingredient. No source mentions a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, fryer, or staff training for coeliac safety. The Coeliac Australia accreditation listing is unverifiable for this specific venue, so the tier is based on the menu's lack of GF marking and the presence of wheat-based items, suggesting a shared kitchen with no dedicated protocols.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
HappyCow lists Hoppy Dumpling as 'Veg-options' with 'vegan options available', specifically mentioning vegan dumplings, crispy tofu, and soy milk.

The Uber Eats menu shows 'Vegetarian Dumplings' ($23.90) and 'Crispy Tofu' ($13.90) as potential vegan items, but no explicit vegan marking. The menu is not marked for vegan dishes, and the kitchen is shared with meat-based dumplings, so cross-contamination risk exists. Staff understanding is described as 'basic' by Spinach.
