Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu (roughly 50% of dishes). The kitchen is shared, not dedicated gluten-free. Celiac diners report mixed experiences: some find staff knowledgeable and food safe (source 4), while others at the Ly Tu Trong branch have encountered mislabeled dishes using Knorr seasoning or other gluten-containing ingredients (source 5). The aggregator warns it may not be safe for coeliac disease.

A few reviewers note the restaurant is 'good for dairy-free', but the menu is not reported to mark dairy-free items explicitly. Staff can accommodate dairy-free requests when asked, though consistency is unclear.
