Tampopo Corn Exchange

Tampopo offers a separate vegan menu with dishes like glazed sticky tofu, jackfruit rendang, and tofu katsu curry. HappyCow reviewers and the venue's own menus note vegan options are marked on the menu (the main menu uses a 'Vegan' icon). However, the kitchen is shared, and the allergy disclaimer states 'cannot guarantee absence of allergens'. No dedicated vegan equipment or separate prep area is mentioned. Vegan diners can choose confidently from the marked dishes but should be aware of shared cooking surfaces.

HappyCow categorises the venue as 'Veg-options' (lacto-ovo). No dedicated vegetarian-only prep area is mentioned, and the kitchen handles meat, seafood, and eggs. Vegetarian diners can order confidently by following the menu markings.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Tampopo has a dedicated halal menu page on its website, marked as 'Halal-friendly choices, clearly marked'. The main menu and branch pages include a 'Halal' sub-menu. However, no accreditation from a recognised halal certification body (such as MUIS Halal or HFA) is cited in the sources. The kitchen is shared with non-halal dishes. Halal diners should confirm with staff whether the halal items are certified or prepared with dedicated equipment.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 50% ·

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.

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

confidence 40% ·

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.

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

confidence 40% ·

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.

Dairy appears in several menu items (miso butter on hispi cabbage, ice cream, cheese on chilli cheese curry fries). The main menu marks some items as 'Vegan' (which implies 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.
