Questions for the kitchen#
Ask about the broth base, dipping sauces, ordered ingredients and whether the pot is shared. The vegetarian marker does not identify the composition of every broth or accompaniment.
Using this guide#
The questions are editorial suggestions. A dictionary gloss explains wording; it does not verify a restaurant’s recipe, certify dietary suitability or establish a historical origin. State the ingredients you need excluded and ask the kitchen to confirm the particular dish.
