Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 70%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

The official menu marks items with 'Allergen Warning: gluten' (e.g. spring rolls, bao buns). Multiple coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree confirm GF items are clearly marked, staff are knowledgeable about GF preparation, and the kitchen understands cross-contamination. However, the venue is explicitly NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility, and one symptomatic coeliac reviewer noted 'Not 100% dedicated'. The Atly listing rates it as 'Accommodating' with 'Some risk of cross-contamination'.
