Celiac Safety Score

50
Moderate Safety

RoboMao offers a variety of gluten-free options, including dumplings, fried rice, and stir fry, but does not have dedicated gluten-free preparation areas, which raises concerns about cross-contamination. The establishment promotes an 'Ultimate Gluten-free Banquet,' indicating a focus on gluten-free dining, yet the lack of dedicated facilities means celiac diners should exercise caution. The presence of gluten-free soy sauce and cider further enhances the menu, but safety protocols for preventing cross-contact are not explicitly detailed.
