confidence 72%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

The venue does not have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. The venue warns of cross-contamination risk in a small kitchen. However, it has a clearly marked gluten-free menu covering almost the entire menu. Standard ramen noodles are the main exception, swappable for rice or low-carb noodles. Multiple verified coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report a dedicated fryer (6 community reports), dedicated kitchen space (reported by 2+ reviewers), staff who clean equipment or change gloves, knowledgeable staff, and zero reactions across many visits. One reviewer (NanaBonBon, 12 months ago) states that they were told the venue does not guarantee gluten-free safety. One reviewer (dmiller, 1 year ago) reports a reaction after eating sashimi and rice. Both negative reports are in the minority relative to approximately 30+ positive coeliac reports. The kitchen is small and shared. The venue advises that coeliac be stated clearly when ordering.

Honest caveat: Two independent reviewers report safety failures: one was told gluten-free is not guaranteed; another reported a reaction after eating sashimi and rice.

Vegan

B
confidence 55%

Multiple reviewers have indicated that vegan options are available at this venue, and it appears on a gluten-free vegan listing. The official website mentions 'delicious vegetarian dishes', and HappyCow lists the venue as vegan-friendly. There is no evidence of a dedicated vegan menu with per-dish marking; vegan options are mentioned casually across reviews, including vegan tantan ramen, miso eggplant, and tofu dishes. Tier D reflects awareness without structural vegan kitchen separation.

Dairy-free

C
confidence 45%
Best effort ·what tier C means

Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviewers flag the venue as 'good for dairy-free', and one Google review notes 'Virtually the whole menu was gluten and dairy free.' The venue's own website does not make specific dairy-free claims. No marked dairy-free menu or dedicated preparation is evidenced. Accommodation appears available on request or by nature of the menu, though quality varies.
