Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Spinach guide notes a clearly marked vegan menu with 5–10 vegan dishes (tofu, jackfruit, shiitake mushrooms) and knowledgeably friendly staff. No details on dedicated equipment or cross-contact protocols, so confirm safe prep on arrival.
