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

Zucchini Vegan Fried Dumplings are explicitly marked (V)(VG) on the Uber Eats menu, and a blog reviewer calls them the 'best vegetarian dumplings in Melbourne'. HappyCow lists the venue as vegan-friendly. The Zucchini Dumpling at Shandong Mama Mini contains peanut oil and notes 'contains nuts', raising a cross-contact note. No dedicated vegan kitchen or prep area is evidenced; shared prep with meat and seafood dishes is certain.

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

Multiple dishes are marked (V) on the Uber Eats menu across both Shandong Mama and Shandong Mama Mini — including Zucchini Dumplings (V)(VG), Mapo Tofu (V), Garlic Cucumber Salad (V), Spring Onion Pancake (V), and several salads. The kitchen also handles meat and seafood dumplings, so shared prep is certain. No dedicated vegetarian kitchen or prep area is mentioned.

Multiple fish and seafood dumpling options are available (Signature Spanish Mackerel, Mackerel Fish Dumplings, Little Rachel Seafood Dumplings), and vegan/vegetarian options are clearly marked (V)(VG) on the menu. However no allergen matrix confirms whether pescatarian dishes are isolated from meat prep.

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

Shandong Mama Mini's own Uber Eats menu explicitly discloses 'possible cross contact with peanut oil' on the majority of dumpling items. The Zucchini Dumplings are labelled 'contains nuts' (peanut oil). The Hot Eight Treasures Tea is also labelled 'Contains Nuts'. Peanut and sesame oils are named ingredients across the menu. This kitchen is not appropriate for nut/peanut anaphylaxis.

Honest caveat: Venue's own menu states 'possible cross contact with peanut oil' on most dumpling items and explicitly labels at least one dish 'contains nuts'.

Prawns, squid, calamari, clam, mussels and dry shrimps appear as ingredients throughout both menus. Many items carry a 'possible cross contact with peanut oil' warning suggesting a shared prep environment. The kitchen is not appropriate for shellfish allergy.
