Claudia’s Favorite Nut-Free Spots
Hi! I’m Claudia and I’m excited to share my all-time favorite places to eat across the U.S. including St. Petersburg, Florida, Washington D.C., Portland, Maine, and more where I safely ate with peanut and tree nut allergies. One of my favorite restaurants King Sushi, where I got the best sushi of my life and experience the kindest allergy friendly staff. I’d recommend anything (including the crispy rice for my gluten-free friends, they used a separate pan). No nuts in house! For a sweet treat, I love Wildflower Ice Cream in St. Petersburg, Florida, where I’d recommend the Cookies and Cream.

Bella’s Top Allergy-Friendly Asian Food Picks
Hi! I’m Bella and 恭喜發財! 새해 복 많이 받으세요! Chúc mừng năm mới! In honor of Lunar New Year I’m excited to share some of my favorite Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese restaurants across the US, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the U.K., where I’ve safely eaten with my severe allergies to peanuts and several tree nuts (including walnuts and pecans, though I typically avoid all nuts to be safe). This guide features so many wonderful, homey spots offering both traditional and fusion dishes, but in the spirit of a holiday centered around connection and community, I especially want to highlight Oakland, California’s Monster Phở, not only for their generously portioned, delicious nut-free menu but their ongoing commitment to uplifting Bay Area families and public servants through donation programs, community celebrations, and free or discounted meals for those in need throughout the year!

My finds feature places located in New Jersey, New York, California, and even South Korea! One of my favorites was Haidilao where I had my first ever hotpot experience!

Jenna’s Top Allergy-Friendly Asian Food Picks
Hi! I’m Jenna and in honor of Lunar New Year I’m excited to share my favorite restaurants where I safely ate with a dairy allergy. My finds feature places located in my home state of California as well as finds from a trip to Chicago. One of my favorites was Mamahuhu, a Chinese chain in SF where I had Kung Pao chicken with crunchy cucumbers and rice (hint: they have an allergen menu and excellent allergy protocols). Lunar New Year for me is about spending time with loved ones, honoring ancestors, and ushering in a new year of good luck. I was born in the year of the tiger and am excited for the year of the horse! I am a therapist in California and specialize in working with teens/adults navigating food allergies and anxiety. A myth that I would like to dispel is the idea that Asian food is not safe for people with food allergies. Asian cuisines are so varied and diverse, with many of them not using nuts or dairy in their main dishes, that it is unfair to characterize them as a monolith or assume restaurants are unable to accommodate allergies! Additionally, as someone with a milk allergy (and formerly allergic to eggs, beef, and pork as well), Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Korean restaurants have been lifelines for me growing up, often being the only places with safe options for me.

Ina’s Top Allergy-Friendly Asian Food Picks
Hi! I’m Ina and in honor of Lunar New Year I’m excited to share my favorite restaurants where my daughter safely ate with her allergies to peanuts, milk and egg. My finds feature places located in our home state of Colorado as well as from travels to New York. One of my favorites was Samwoojung in New York City where we devoured the Seoul Bulgogi cooked with beautiful and simple ingredients tableside. I really want people to know that the stereotype that Asian food is inherently “unsafe” for food allergies overlooks just how vast, regional, and ingredient-diverse Asian cuisines truly are.

Olivia’s Top Allergy-Friendly Boba Picks
Hi! I’m Olivia and in honor of Lunar New Year I’m excited to share my favorite places to get Boba Tea that I have been able to have safely with my food allergies to dairy, egg and soy. My finds feature places located in Philadelphia where I am based as well as New York and California. One of my favorites was Bopomofo in California, where I had honey oolong milk tea with oat-milk (no dairy free up charge!). As a Chinese American, Lunar New Year is one of my favorite holidays, and I look forward to enjoying a home-cooked feast with my family every year! One of my favorite foods to make is dumplings, but I also love fried rice and vegetables like choy sum. Fun fact: I am the Year of the Ram!
