Buddha's Belly Itaewon

Has a separate gluten-free menu and a dedicated fryer for GF items, with staff trained to use different plates for gluten-free orders. The kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free, so some cross-contamination risk remains. Several celiac diners report positive experiences, including recognition of travel celiac cards.

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

Offers a dedicated vegan/vegetarian section on the menu with many options, and the owners are knowledgeable about vegan food and double-check orders. The venue also serves meat, so cross-contact is possible. Note that some vegetarian items contain oyster sauce, so confirm vegan status with staff.

confidence 30% ·

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.

A single review warns that some vegetarian options contain oyster sauce, which is derived from shellfish. No other source addresses shellfish safety. The kitchen serves meat and shellfish-containing ingredients, so risk of cross-contact cannot be ruled out. Call ahead to discuss needs.

Reminder

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