Lovely Service and Amazing food!

We've been there twice and the second time we brought guests. Both experiences was very positive. We enjoy it a lot. We were a big group without booking and they manage to accomodate us and patiently serve all our needs.

Pros: All is good

Cons: All is good so you want to order the whole menu :P

Okay

I think I had too high expectations after reading all the reviews here. I told the waiter that I would like his recommendation, and that's what he brought me. The sauce was super sticky, making it impossible to eat with chopsticks. The tofu pieces were extremely soft. Overall, everything was okay, but it didn't blow me away. On a positive note, the brownie dessert was very delicious.

Amazing food

This was our first visit to this restaurant and I’m so happy we chose it. Because we were new to the place the server made a couple of suggestions and I’m so happy we went with them. Really yummy food. We were very happy and will go back. I would suggest booking a table as they were pretty busy when we arrived.

Can’t wait to go back

Incredible. So nice to have a full vegan menu of traditional Chinese food. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend the sizzling tofu with house sauce and the wontons.

Note that if you’re drinking wine you need to ask which are certified vegan.

Delicious food, amazing staff

Really recommend this place. The food is nice, love the atmosphere and the staff is super friendly and cute. We ate here two days in a row. As it is Chinese style food, be aware of lots of sauces if it’s not something you like.

Pros: Variety of dishes, taste, , Friendly staff, Refillable rice

Sooo good!

There’s a reason this is a top rated place on Happy Cow. Everything was delicious. The dumplings were so flavorful, and the stir fried “lamm” was the best seitan I’ve ever had!

Pros: Amazing food, Free refills on rice

Tofu

I had the gung bao tofu and rice for main. It was very nice and good value with the refillable rice. The pumpkin lantern dessert was strange and not sweet but not unpleasant either.

spectacular

I can't wait to go back here again. It's pretty busy so a booking is advisable. I found it so hard deciding what I wanted. The waitress was so helpful and I really appreciated her honest guidance. The food arrived super fast but tasted amazing. The house dumplings are unreal. The service was great and I was on crutches and the lady was so nice helping me around the table. Definitely going back here, dreaming of the food until then!

OK

Went for a birthday and had heard great things but all the food was pretty bland, various dishes melded into the same flavour profiles, textures weren't amazing.

First Chinese since going vegan 7 years ago

Tofu Vegan is amazing!! They squeezed us in when another local vegan restaurant messed up our booking and I’m so glad they did because I had actually given up on Chinese food since becoming vegan but this place is incredible. Can’t wait to go back!! Staff were lovely, nice atmosphere and really reasonable prices. Their signature “fish” dish was recommended by our waitress and it didn’t disappoint. #Veganuary

Pros: Amazing food, Friendly knowledgable staff, Great atmosphere

Superb Vegan Food

Superb vegan food. Everything was great; Peking duck pancakes, fisc with bao buns, but our favourite was the king oyster mushroom with cashew nuts - delicious. Service was polite and efficient. They take cash as well which is great. A few negatives; firstly, they automatically add service charge to your bill which should be optional (discretely hidden at the bottom as S/C). Secondly, the portions are small (you will need 3 dishes) so it does work out quite pricey. Note, if you order the fisc you will need to order bao buns as an extra (6 buns at £1.90 each). Dishes don't come with rice so you need to pay for that on top too. Despite the negatives, the food is so tasty that we can't wait to return and we have to give it 5 stars because the food is so good. Let's hope the food stays as good as this.

Pros: Really Tasty , Good selection, Take cash

Cons: They automatically add on Service Charge , Small portions
