Questions about Chern

Does Chern have gluten-free options?

Yes: 13 dishes are gluten free as served, and 9 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 5 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is Chern coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Kitchen handles traces of nuts, wheat and gluten; cannot guarantee dishes are allergen free.”. Chef’s Kiss reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.

What can be made gluten free at Chern?

Chern's Wok Fried Chicken (GF option available); Wagyu Garlic & Pepper (GF option available); Chern's Mushroom Stir Fry (GF option available); Drunken Fish (GF option available); Isaan Chicken Laab (GF option available); Wok Tossed Greens (GF option available).

When is Chern open?

Monday: Closed. Tuesday: 5pm–9pm. Wednesday: 5pm–9pm. Thursday: 5pm–9pm. Friday: 5pm–9pm. Saturday: 5pm–9pm. Sunday: 5pm–8:30pm. Hours can change on public holidays; check with the venue.
