Hoa Sen

The restaurant is fully vegetarian and the kitchen does not serve meat or fish, as confirmed by the venue name, its description, and multiple reviews. All menu items are vegetarian/vegan, and no animal flesh is on the premises. No dedicated fryer or separate prep area is needed given the concept.

The food menu is described as entirely plant-based, but dairy is used in drinks (ice cream, smoothies). Staff have claimed everything is vegan, though some reviewers expressed doubt and one reported feeling ill. No dedicated vegan kitchen or equipment is noted. Confirm with staff which items are fully vegan and avoid the drinks.

The food menu is described as vegan and likely dairy-free, but dairy is used in drinks (ice cream, smoothies). No separate dairy-free prep area or marked menu items exist. Cross-contamination is possible in the shared kitchen. Best to ask staff about safe options for dairy-free diners.

A documented 2014 incident involved a nut-allergic customer whose garnished dish was not remade; staff simply picked off the peanuts. No dedicated nut-free kitchen or equipment is mentioned, and peanuts are used in the kitchen. Not recommended for anyone with a nut allergy.

FindMeGlutenFree lists Hoa Sen as having 'No GF Menu'. No gluten-free markings, dedicated fryer, or separate prep area are mentioned in any source. The menu is likely wheat-based. Not recommended for coeliac diners without advance confirmation.
