Menu uses LG (low gluten) and LGO (can be made low gluten on request) codes on individual dishes; the venue explicitly states it has an open kitchen and that 'menu items may contain traces of gluten, seafood and nuts.' Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Community reviews include one documented coeliac reaction (probable duck pancakes) alongside positive reports from other coeliac diners for specific dishes (prawn dumplings, mushroom dumplings, fried rice). Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged by the venue itself.

The menu uses the code N to identify dishes that contain nuts, such as Chilli Wagyu Beef Dumplings, XO Scallop & Prawn Dumplings, Satay Chicken Dumplings, and several desserts. The venue’s own disclaimer notes that menu items may contain traces of nuts. An open kitchen is in place. Nut-containing dishes appear throughout the menu.

Prawns, scallops, shrimp, and octopus appear extensively in many dishes on the menu. The venue’s own disclaimer warns that items “may contain traces of… seafood.” Individual shellfish-containing dishes are identifiable from the menu, but no dedicated shellfish-free preparation area is mentioned.

The menu clearly marks meat-free and fish or seafood options with VG and V codes, and it also lists numerous prawn and seafood dishes. A pescatarian diner could identify suitable dishes from the menu, but open kitchen shared preparation applies.
