Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The restaurant serves Buddhist-inspired vegetarian food, and a vegan diner's blog post describes their meal as 'vegan' and notes the food was 'delicious'. However, no source explicitly confirms the kitchen is 100% vegan (e.g., no honey, no dairy in all dishes). The restaurant is primarily known as vegetarian, and while likely vegan-friendly, the evidence is insufficient for a higher tier.
