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.

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 includes dishes with peanuts (e.g., Tofu Pad Thai with 'crunchy peanuts and tofu') and peanut tofu as a starter. There is no information about nut-free options, cross-contamination protocols, or whether staff can accommodate nut allergies. Nut-allergic diners should call ahead to discuss safe choices.

Soy-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 venue is a Thai-inspired vegan restaurant that uses soy-based products such as organic tofu and vegan 'duck' (likely soy-based). Soy is a core ingredient in many dishes, including Tofu Pad Thai and soy sauce stir-fried noodles. Staff are described as accommodating to dietary needs, but there is no specific mention of soy-free options or cross-contamination protocols. Soy-allergic diners should call ahead to discuss alternatives.

Coeliac · Gluten-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's website states they offer 'a wide range of gluten-free and allergen-free options,' and HappyCow lists 'Gluten-free' as a tag. However, no menu items are marked GF, no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer is mentioned, and there is no information about cross-contamination protocols. The signal is thin: call ahead to confirm specific practices.

Reminder

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