B
confidence 60%

Menu items are marked GF (including a GF option tag), and the venue appears on directories tagged 'Gluten Free Options', but there is no information about kitchen setup, cross-contamination controls, or staff training. The GF dishes likely come from a shared Vietnamese kitchen. Cross-contact policy should be confirmed with the kitchen before ordering.

Honest caveat: No source discusses cross-contamination controls or kitchen protocols for gluten-free preparation.

Best effort ·what tier C means

A few items on the menu are marked with a V, and the restaurant's marketing mentions vegetarian-friendly options. No information is available about kitchen practices, shared equipment, or staff awareness. Calling ahead to confirm that dishes can be prepared without animal products and cross-contamination is recommended.

Honest caveat: No source discusses whether vegetarian items are prepared with dedicated equipment or in a shared fryer.

E
confidence 40%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The menu mentions one 'Vegan Broth' option and marketing copy says 'a variety of vegan and vegetarian-friendly options', but only a single item is labelled, and no information about kitchen practice or cross-contamination exists. Calling ahead to check whether the Vegan Broth is genuinely plant-based and prepared separately is advisable.

Honest caveat: Only one vegan-marked dish was found in the sources; no information about cooking methods or shared equipment.
