Ngon Banh Cuon
The menu contains extensive fish and seafood options (fish cakes, bún cá, bún riêu cua, seafood soups) alongside meat dishes. No allergen marking separates fish/seafood from meat items on the Uber Eats listing; diners would need to identify suitable dishes by reading descriptions and asking staff. A shared kitchen means cross-contamination between fish and meat dishes is expected.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.
The Broadsheet article notes that the traditional iced coffee 'can be made vegan with a black coffee base,' suggesting some staff awareness. However, no vegan-marked menu exists, and the kitchen produces fish sauces (nuoc cham), pork-based broths, and animal products throughout. No structural accommodation for vegans is evidenced.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.
The menu includes a veggie banh cuon filling option and fried tofu dishes. However, the menu is dominated by pork, prawn, crab, fish and other animal products. No allergen marking system is present on the Uber Eats menu listing, and no staff training or dedicated accommodation for vegetarians is documented. Vegan iced coffee (black coffee base) is mentioned. Vegetarians would need to ask staff to confirm which items are truly meat-free, as broths and sauces may contain fish or meat.

Shellfish-free
confidence 0.60 ·
Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.
Shellfish is pervasive throughout the menu: crab paste (Bún Riêu Cua), prawn fillings (Bánh Cuốn Tôm Thịt), prawn and squid soups, pork-and-prawn nem ran, and seafood vermicelli soup. This is not a venue appropriate for shellfish-anaphylaxis sufferers; avoidance is structurally impossible given the core menu.
