Amazing food and service

Have been wanting to go here since it opened and it certainly didn't disappoint. The setting is lovely with outdoor seating in a little garden area and the service was polite and attentive with waiters happy to explain anything about the menu. And the food was stunning! The wonton and dim sum were light and delicious, the 'fish' bun was crispy and full of flavour, and the gon bao tofu was spicy and addictive. Will definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!

Best Chinese Restaurant

Food really delicious! We were a group of 4 and we loved everything.
They recommended to share, but we decided to have one main each and share starters.
Friendly staff.

Amazing vegan place

They recommended sharing dishes which were really nice, the only one we didn't enjoy had a load of chillies (don't mind spicy food) and what felt like chi*ken nuggets felt it needed a sauce.

Staff were super friendly

Amazing menu

Loved the gong pai chicken here and the noodles. The bao bun dish was tasty but pretty spicy and I wouldn't recommend the fried dumplings. They were fine but I think they probably have better starters.

Delicious food in a beautiful setting with wonderful staff

We spent a lovely leisurely afternoon here, we felt spoilt for choice as the menu is extensive so as suggested by the very friendly staff we ordered, ate some dishes then ordered some more. Everything was delicious. We have eaten at the Spitalfields branch before but found this to be a more relaxed environment.

High pressure sales

First visit and overwhelmed by an extensive menu. So many dishes to choose from , staff kept coming and asking for an order constantly while we were just trying to enjoy browsing the menu which was quite annoying. Food was good and it's worth a visit.

Pros: Great selection of dishes , Tasty food

Cons: A little pricey , Too much sales pressure

I can't recommend Tofu Vegan enough! 5 ⭐

I've been to Tofu Vegan before in Islington and I was so happy to find out they opened a branch in Brighton.
Since they've opened I've had takeaway and large group meals out.
I had them for my "Hag" do (joint Hen and Stag*) in their private karaoke room, and I went with family the day after our wedding AND with a group from work.

Every single time they are attentive, friendly, chatty, so helpful - you feel so taken care of there!

They do a great gluten free menu and can ensure it's all cooked separately.

The food is authentic, served fast and fresh.

Pros: Incredible food, The friendlies staff, Feels like family

You must visit!!

As a big fan of the London locations, I was so excited to hear Tofu Vegan were opening in Brighton! The staff are so incredibly lovely and handled my gluten intolerance as carefully as always. The food is just so incredible, I can’t recommend Tofu Vegan enough. Along with the Charlotte Street restaurant, I think this is my favourite location! The restaurant is embedded in the Lanes, yet has a great sized private outdoor dining area - perfect for the summer ☀️ Thank you, Tofu Vegan! 🌱

Great meal at Tofu Vegan

Really enjoyed our meal at Tofu Vegan. They have a huge menu, but the staff were very helpful and gave us their recommendations for what to order and how many dishes to have. The food was really flavourful, I especially liked the bao buns which you assembled yourself, and of course, great tofu! Really lovely venue with lots of outside seating too. Would love to come back to try more options.

Amazing!!!

The food is insanely good, the staff are all super sweet and helpful, and the service was quick even though they were pretty busy! I couldn't decide what to get and my server helped me decide on something new I hadn't tried before, and it was so delicious. I'd eat here every day if I could!

Insanely good

The lovely staff chose the dishes for our party of four as we couldn't decide... We all enjoyed every single second, and wept when it was over. The greens (starter) and twice cooked fisc bao buns were outstanding as were the other dishes, i just can't remember their names...
