Per-allergen evidence

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.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 70% ·

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

The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, but community reports consistently describe a dedicated gluten-free fryer, a separate grill for gluten-free items, and a menu where gluten-free items are clearly marked. The owner is reported to be very knowledgeable about gluten and cross-contamination. One sauce contains gluten and is marked. A small number of mild reactions have been reported, so those with coeliac disease should confirm practices directly with staff.

Honest caveat: A small number of community reviews report mild symptoms after eating, and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Soy-free

confidence 40% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

The venue uses soybeans as a base for its takoyaki, so soy is a primary ingredient. No information is available about whether soy-free options exist or if cross-contact is managed. Call ahead to discuss soy-free needs.
