Free Vietnam restaurant tool

Prepare your food allergy plan before you order in Vietnam.

Know what to check before food reaches the table: ingredients, sauces, broth, shared utensils, emergency medication, and when to leave.

Last updated: 30 Jun 2026

Use this as one layer, not the whole plan.

Carry your prescribed medication and emergency action plan.
Ask staff to check ingredients, sauces, oil, broth, seasonings, and shared utensils.
If the restaurant is unsure, choose another dish or another restaurant.
For severe allergies, do not rely on translated text as your only safety layer.
Review the prep

What this guidance is based on.

We separate source-reviewed guidance from content that still needs human review. Official and local-corpus references can support the website and the downloadable app without turning trust into a black box.

Restaurant use

Decide before the kitchen starts.

State the allergy before ordering, not after food arrives.
Ask staff to confirm sauces, broth, oil, and shared utensils if the allergy is severe.
Leave if staff seem unsure or dismissive.
