Verifiably Safe, Either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or actively certified by a recognised accreditation body for this allergen.

East Restaurant is a 100% vegetarian venue — no meat or fish appears anywhere on the menu. Every dish carries either a V (vegetarian) or VG (vegan) code, making the kitchen structurally impossible to cross-contaminate with meat. The venue describes itself as presenting 'an innovative and flavourful vegetarian menu designed to share.'

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The menu marks dishes GFI (gluten free ingredients) or GFIO (gluten free ingredients option available) per dish — e.g., Edamame (VG, GFI), Typhoon shelter fried rice (VG, GFI), Kimchi (VG, GFI), Salted caramel chocolate tart (VG, GFI, N). However, gluten-containing dishes are served throughout the same kitchen: dumplings, spring rolls, wontons, pancakes, and bao are all on the menu. The venue's own disclaimer explicitly states: 'We cannot guarantee the food preparation environment is free from traces of all allergens.' GFI denotes ingredient-level selection only, not a dedicated preparation environment. Not suitable for coeliacs requiring a guaranteed trace-free environment.

The menu marks individual dishes VG (vegan) or VGO (vegan option available), and the drinks menu features 'organic and vegan friendly wines.' Most dishes are already VG. However, some dishes contain egg (Pad Thai: 'tofu, egg, mung bean'; Char kway teow: 'egg, garlic chives') and at least one dessert contains dairy (Matcha basque cheesecake with 'latte macchiato gelato'). The venue's own disclaimer states: 'We cannot guarantee the food preparation environment is free from traces of all allergens' — confirming shared prep. Staff awareness is implied by the detailed per-dish marking.

The menu marks nut-containing dishes with N: Som tam (peanut), Mango salad (cashew), Pad Thai (peanut), Water chestnut wontons (peanut crumb), Spicy Kung Pao (cashews), Salted caramel chocolate tart (peanut, crushed almond), and Yum Cha glutinous rice taro roll (peanut, sesame). Dishes not marked N are nominally nut-free by ingredient, but the kitchen-wide disclaimer — 'We cannot guarantee the food preparation environment is free from traces of all allergens' — confirms shared prep. Not appropriate for severe anaphylaxis without direct staff consultation.

The menu key lists 'DF = dairy free' and 'DFO = dairy free option available' as recognised codes, and the majority of dishes are marked VG (vegan), which implies no dairy by ingredient. However, at least one dessert explicitly contains dairy (Matcha basque cheesecake with 'latte macchiato gelato', marked V not VG), and the disclaimer confirms a shared preparation environment. Dairy-intolerant diners can use VG markings to identify safer dishes but cannot rely on a trace-free kitchen.

The VG vs V distinction in the menu marking system functions as a per-dish egg indicator: VG dishes contain no egg; V dishes may. Key egg-containing dishes include Pad Thai ('tofu, egg, mung bean'), Char kway teow ('egg, garlic chives'), Street style warm noodles ('egg, Asian greens'), and Portuguese egg tart. VGO (vegan option available) on some dishes means egg can be omitted on request. Shared kitchen disclaimer applies.
