Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

The venue's name and official menu highlight gluten-free okonomiyaki and drinks. Multiple community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree and AutoReserve report a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, dedicated fryer, and knowledgeable staff, with coeliac diners describing safe experiences. However, the official menu also lists dishes containing wheat, such as stir-fried noodles, without cross-contact warnings, and the venue is not independently accredited. The kitchen appears to have a high-care setup, but shared preparation space is possible; confirm with staff.

Honest caveat: The official menu lists non-gluten-free dishes (e.g., stir-fried noodles) without cross-contact warnings, and some reviews note the venue serves gluten-containing items alongside GF options.

confidence 60%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The venue's name and official menu include a 'Vegan okonomiyaki' section, and the AutoReserve page claims 'All menu items are gluten-free and vegan-friendly.' However, multiple HappyCow reviews contradict this, reporting that the kitchen uses pork, shrimp, egg, and other animal products, and that the vegan okonomiyaki is a small, upcharged option. Staff have asked diners if they want egg on their okonomiyaki, indicating confusion about vegan requirements. The venue is best-effort for vegans: options exist but cross-contact and ingredient accuracy depend on the staff member.

Honest caveat: Multiple HappyCow reviews report the venue serves meat, fish, and eggs, and that the vegan okonomiyaki is a small, upcharged option with potential cross-contact.

Best effort ·what tier C means

The venue offers a vegan okonomiyaki option, which is also suitable for vegetarians, and the AutoReserve page states all menu items are vegan-friendly. HappyCow reviews, however, indicate the kitchen uses pork, shrimp, and egg, and that the standard okonomiyaki contains meat or seafood. Vegetarian options exist but are limited and require specific ordering; cross-contact with animal products is likely in the shared kitchen.

Honest caveat: HappyCow reviews report the venue serves pork, shrimp, and egg, and that the vegan/vegetarian okonomiyaki is a small, upcharged option.

Limited information ·what tier E means

The menu identifies dishes that contain shrimp and squid, such as stir-fried noodles with seafood. No shellfish-free options or specific kitchen practices are described. The venue might accommodate a shellfish-free request, though available information is not enough to evaluate actual kitchen procedures.
