Vegan

confidence 80%

Tampopo provides a separate vegan menu that includes dishes such as glazed sticky tofu, jackfruit rendang, and tofu katsu curry. HappyCow reviewers and the venue's own menus indicate that vegan options are marked on the menu. The main menu uses a 'Vegan' icon for these items. The kitchen is shared, and the allergy disclaimer states that the restaurant cannot guarantee the absence of allergens. No dedicated vegan equipment or separate preparation area is mentioned. Vegan diners can choose from the marked dishes with confidence but should remain aware of shared cooking surfaces.

Halal

B
confidence 70%

The restaurant maintains a dedicated halal menu page on its website, labelled with the phrase 'Halal-friendly choices, clearly marked'. This information also appears as a 'Halal' sub-menu on the main menu and individual branch pages. No accreditation from a recognised halal certification body, such as MUIS Halal or HFA, is cited in the available sources. The kitchen is shared with non-halal dishes. Given these conditions, halal diners should confirm with staff whether the halal items are certified or prepared using dedicated equipment.

Best effort ·what tier C means

The official menu includes a downloadable 'Allergy List' PDF, and the menu footer states 'We cannot guarantee absence of allergens.' No gluten-free marks appear on the menu items (e.g. no GF icon). No dedicated gluten-free kitchen, fryer, or equipment is mentioned. No Coeliac UK or other accreditation is referenced. The menu itself lists wheat-based dishes (ramen, udon, gyoza, bao) heavily, indicating a shared kitchen with high cross-contamination risk. Coeliac diners should call ahead and speak directly with the kitchen.

Nut-free

The menu contains multiple peanut and nut ingredients (peanut sauce on satay, crushed nuts on desserts, peanuts in pad thai and spring rolls). No nut-free marking or dedicated allergy list is visible per dish. The generic allergy disclaimer applies. No dedicated equipment or separate prep area is mentioned. Nut allergy diners should exercise caution and speak with the kitchen directly.

Dairy-free

Best effort ·what tier C means

Dairy appears in several menu items, including miso butter on hispi cabbage, ice cream, and cheese on chilli cheese curry fries. The main menu marks certain items as 'Vegan', which implies they are dairy-free, but there is no dedicated dairy-free marking system. The allergy disclaimer applies. No dedicated equipment is mentioned. Dairy-intolerant diners should check the allergy list PDF and confirm with staff.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
