Please note: “Gluten not detected” in a tested sample does not mean the product is guaranteed gluten-free in restaurant service. Cross-contact remains possible.

Don’t forget the sauce

Sauces can change both nutrition and allergen information. The current Saigon Summer sauce guidance below takes priority over older product information and should be reconfirmed whenever products or suppliers change.

Hoisin peanut sauce

Contains wheat/gluten, peanuts and soybeans. It does not contain sesame.

Fish sauce

Contains fish.

Soy sauce

Contains soybeans. The tested sauce used a gluten-free soy sauce, but current supply should always be confirmed.

Frequently asked questions

Can Saigon Summer guarantee an allergen-free meal?

No. Our kitchens use shared preparation areas, equipment, utensils, storage and—in some locations—shared fryers. While our team can explain ingredients and take reasonable care, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of an allergen.

Are your rice paper rolls gluten-free?

Rice paper and rice vermicelli are generally made from rice and tapioca ingredients, and gluten was not detected in the roll samples tested for the 2019 report. However, marinades, sauces, suppliers and shared preparation can introduce gluten or cross-contact. Please check the exact roll and sauce with the store before ordering.

Do vegetarian or vegan choices contain fish or oyster sauce?

Some Vietnamese marinades, broths and dipping sauces can contain fish or oyster-derived ingredients. Please tell our team if you require vegetarian or vegan preparation so they can confirm the current recipe and suitable sauce.

Why might information differ between stores?

Menu availability, suppliers, serving sizes and preparation practices may vary. Seasonal changes and substitutions can also affect ingredients. The store preparing your food is the best source for the most current product information.

Where can I find complete nutrition information?

The published figures currently available are for selected rice paper rolls and sauces from the supplied 2019 report. Nutrition information for other categories should only be published after the current recipes and serving sizes have been professionally assessed.

Have a food allergy or dietary question?

Contact your preferred Saigon Summer store before ordering and tell our team the exact allergen or dietary requirement.
