Okami Japanese Restaurant

This Japanese chain does not mark allergens on its menu. The lunch buffet is a self-serve setup where cross-contamination is acknowledged as possible, and the venue says it cannot guarantee gluten-free options for that service. For the dinner a la carte menu, staff can attempt to accommodate when notified on arrival, but there is no dedicated kitchen, fryer, or training regime mentioned. It is safest for coeliac diners to call the specific branch ahead and speak directly with staff about the risk.

The venue does not offer a vegan-friendly guarantee. The lunch buffet is self-serve with possible cross-contamination, and the official FAQ explicitly says it 'cannot guarantee vegan-friendly options' for that service. For dinner, staff will try to accommodate if told on arrival, but there are no dedicated or marked vegan options. Best to call ahead.

Honest caveat: The venue's own FAQ states it cannot guarantee vegan-friendly options for the lunch buffet.
