Root Kitchen

The restaurant is fully vegan: no animal products, no onion/garlic, no refined sugar, and no alcohol. The blog source notes everything is vegan (全素、vegan) and the kitchen uses whole foods without processed mock meats. Multiple independent sources confirm the vegan status across menus and reviews. No Vegan Society Trademark accreditation is cited, but the structural fact that the entire menu is vegan is well established.

Per-allergen evidence

Vegan

confidence 80% ·

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.

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.

The restaurant is fully vegan, which is a strict subset of vegetarian, so it is reliably suitable for vegetarians. Every source that describes the cuisine calls it vegan or plant-based.

Honest caveat: No separate vegetarian accreditation or protocol exists, but the all-vegan menu makes it automatically vegetarian-safe.

Dairy-free

confidence 80% ·

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.

The restaurant is fully vegan, so no dairy of any kind is used in the kitchen. The blog confirms plant-based milk teas and a vegan white sauce described as 'creamy' without dairy. All sources consistently describe the venue as vegan.

Honest caveat: No dairy-free accreditation cited, but the all-vegan kitchen makes dairy-free a structural given.

Egg-free

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.

The restaurant is fully vegan, so no eggs are used in any dish. The blog mentions the menu is entirely vegan, confirming no egg content.

Honest caveat: No egg-free accreditation cited, but the all-vegan kitchen makes egg-free structural.

Sugar-free

confidence 50% ·

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

The HappyCow listing and venue description state 'no refined sugars' are used. This suggests the kitchen avoids refined sugar, but no source details what sweeteners are used in place of sugar, and there is no menu marking for sugar-free items. Call ahead to confirm whether the kitchen can accommodate strict sugar-free requirements.

Honest caveat: No source defines what 'no refined sugars' means in practice, and no explicit sugar-free menu marking is reported.

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.

Listed on FindMeGlutenFree and HappyCow as a gluten-free-friendly venue, with gluten-free items (risotto, curry) marked on a shared-kitchen menu. Celiac Australia and Coeliac UK are not involved. A review on spinach.guide states options are suitable for celiac diners but the FindMeGlutenFree disclaimer explicitly says the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free and may not be safe for coeliac disease. The sole user review on several aggregators reports no reaction, but the venue's own pages never address gluten handling. Call ahead to discuss your needs directly with the kitchen.

Honest caveat: FindMeGlutenFree warns this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility and may not be safe for coeliac disease.
