GorillaBowlZ - 14 Skylark

The menu is explicitly labelled 'vegan' and 'vegetarian' on several bowls and salads, with the Buddha Bowl described as the 'Best Vegan Rice Bowl in Cebu City'. However, all items are prepared from a shared kitchen with no published cross-contact controls, so cross-contamination is possible. Vegan diners can choose clearly marked plant-based options but should confirm handling with staff.

Vegetarian

confidence 80% ·

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

Multiple items are marked 'vegetarian' (e.g., Vegetarian Burrito, Power Taco Salad), and the menu includes clearly labelled vegan options that also suit vegetarians. As the kitchen is shared, vegetarian dishes may come into contact with meat/fish; diners can safely choose labelled items but should confirm in advance if strict separation matters.

Nut-free

confidence 80% ·

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

Nut-containing ingredients appear in several dishes (peanut sauce, peanut in the Buddha Bowl, sesame seeds/oil, tree nuts). The Buddha Bowl product page lists peanut and tree nuts among its allergens, and the extra tofu option explicitly says 'Contains peanut'. No dedicated preparation is described; diners with nut allergy should flag the allergy clearly and confirm the kitchen's ability to avoid cross-contact.

Soy-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.

Soy is listed as an allergen in the Buddha Bowl's per-item statement and appears in other dishes containing tofu (e.g., Zen Noodle Salad has edamame). The kitchen is shared and no separate soy‑free prep is described. Diners with soy allergy should notify staff and verify handling before ordering.

Pescatarian

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 menu is predominantly plant‑based, with no descriptions of fish or shellfish in the items listed. The Combat Bowl mentions '70g of extra chicken', confirming meat is available. Pescatarian diners can choose from the clearly labelled vegan/vegetarian bowls, but should confirm with staff that no fish or shellfish is used in the dish of choice.

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

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.

No dairy‑specific markings appear on the menu, and no dish mentions cheese, cream, or milk ingredients. The Buddha Bowl and Zen Noodle Salad appear dairy‑free from their ingredient lists, and the venue's marketing leans vegan/plant‑based. However, without a full ingredient guide or allergen matrix, dairy content cannot be confirmed for the whole menu or for shared‑kitchen cross‑contact. Call ahead to verify.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 90% ·

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.

The Buddha Bowl explicitly contains gluten (listed among its allergens), the Zen Noodle Salad uses glass noodles (which may be gluten-free but the source does not confirm), and several other items use flour tortillas. No gluten‑free menu or dedicated preparation is described, and the website's 'Allergens' page is still not provided. Gluten‑containing ingredients are prevalent, and no cross‑contact mitigations are documented. Not recommended for coeliac diners.

Reminder

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