Per-allergen evidence
The restaurant is a well-established vegetarian buffet. A wide selection of Thai dishes are made without meat. Multiple sources confirm it is vegetarian-friendly, but the buffet format means shared serving utensils and no marked menu. Staff are reported as friendly but may have limited English; pointing at dishes works fine.

All dishes are described as plant-based and free from meat, eggs, and dairy. However, there are counter-signals. Honey was used in kombucha. Reviews note uncertainty about some dishes containing egg or dairy. The buffet format increases cross-contact risk. Staff have been reported as saying everything is vegan, but language barriers may hinder detailed allergen discussions. Ming Kwan is best for casual vegan diners. Strict vegans should confirm specific dishes.
