Check with staff

Coconut milk is an FDA-classified tree nut. If coconut allergy is a concern, this dish is not safe.

Key risk: Mango sticky rice is naturally free from most allergens, but sesame seeds are commonly sprinkled on top without being listed. The dish relies entirely on coconut milk, making it unsafe for coconut sensitivities. It is one of the safer Thai desserts for those avoiding fish, shellfish, egg, gluten, and peanuts.
