Verifiably Safe, Either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or actively certified by a recognised accreditation body for this allergen.

100% vegetarian restaurant chain (Zao Zi Shu / Jujube Tree) – no meat, fish, or poultry on the premises. Dedicated vegetarian kitchen, confirmed by HappyCow listing, official Shanghai government guide, and multiple blog reviews. No accreditation required because the kitchen is structurally meat-free.

Insider-led, Owner, chef, staff, or a close friend or family member needs to avoid this allergen themselves; kitchen practice reflects that.

The official Shanghai government guide states Zao Zi Shu emphasises 'smoke-free, alcohol-free, egg-free, and meat-free' dishes. The restaurant's philosophy intentionally excludes eggs, which is an insider-led structural decision. No accreditation exists, but the policy is consistent across sources.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Listed on Find Me Gluten Free with one review snippet 'Vegetarian restaurant also capable of GF dishes'. No GF menu (tagged 'No GF Menu'), no dedicated fryer or prep area. Coeliac safety depends entirely on staff knowledge that shift; no structural protocols. Low source coverage.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

HappyCow marks the venue as 'vegan-friendly' with many vegan mock-meat dishes, but the kitchen is lacto-vegetarian (dairy used). No dedicated vegan preparation area or marked menu. Staff can indicate which dishes are vegan on request, but cross-contamination risk exists. One reviewer confirms vegan options are available.
