Decent Vegan Chinese

The photos on the menu looked great.
The dishes are flavorful, but are not as tasty as I had expected based on the outstanding reviews. I would recommend the dumplings with the house sauce. The noodle dish I ordered had a bit of a burned flavor that I did not find very appealing. Service was great .

Great food

I've been to both the liverpool st and golder's green locations and both are equally good. Great choice of tasty food, onion/garlic free options, good price. One of my go-to places for casual eating

Pros: taste, price, extensive menu

Incredible food

I have heard so many good things about tofu vegan and had to visit for myself. The food was out of this world, so many options and all so flavoursome. Sometimes its easy for food textures to all to blend in with each other when its all tofu / mushroom based but the variety in texture and flavour was incredible. Such friendly staff as well and they have a great secret function room upstairs with a karaoke room 👀

As always delicious!

Loved the cloud mushrooms from the cold starters. Actually we got this as a gift as spent over £20 on Deliveroo.

We ordered the chef special tofu which was gorgeous, garlicky green beans, veg noodles and a mock chicken dish with so many dried chillis. Almost forgot the amazing win tons!

Everything was great, arrived quickly and still piping hot.

Pros: Always great, 100% vegan

Cons: None

Fantastic all-vegan Chinese food

Really friendly, attentive service, happy to suggest dishes. Amazing range and variety of options, including tofu, faux meats, oyster mushrooms, and vegetables. So lovely that everything is vegan! Great to see a bit of activism in their merch too - my favourite was a tshirt that said "my food is grown not born".

Vegan Chinese dream

Tofu vegan is the best Chinese restaurant there is, each and every dish is a fest for your palate.
I have been many times to the one in Angel/Islington and two times in this one, never once they have disappointed.
The only problem you can have here is how to decide what to order.
My recommendation is to try everything that takes your fancy plus the wontons which are unforgettable.
Don't miss the opportunity to visit!

Pros: All food is great, The wontons will appear in your dreams

Cons: It's not cheap

A delicious treat

I loved Tofu Vegan - the food was really good, extensive selection, and a nice restaurant ambience. Wait staff were really helpful in recommending dishes - the wontons were amazing! I thought I knew Chinese food but tons of things on the menu I wasn’t familiar with, so it’s always exciting to try something new and know that nothing is off limits - all 100% vegan!

It’s not cheap and you can tell - both from the quality of the ingredients/dishes, and the bill😄

Fantastic

Once you've had tofu vegan you will realise how poor a lot of other options are. The food is so fresh and nicely prepared it is fantastic. I think people forget that freshly cooked food does cost and they aren't a huge chain so the fact that it is slightly more expensive is fair. I do find the food too spicy though. I'd love to try some of the other dishes but they are way too hot. I have said in another review of the other branch it really wouldn't be that hard to make make a no chilli or genuinely mild version of some of the dishes as an option on the menu.

SOOO good 🤤 but SOOOOO expensive! 🥹

Super authentic Chinese food that I used to order often when they had the 20% off Thursday offers on Deliveroo as, at full price, for me unfortunately it’s too expensive……
BUT!!!! 😃 My manager treated me to claim back a takeaway on the company this weekend, in order to praise me for my hard work 😷 so it was a no-brainer!!! 🤗

The best service I’ve ever experienced

The highlight of the meal had to be the waiter, who was extremely knowledgeable about the food and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He even gave us a glass of wine and a small starter on the house!
His knowledge about ingredients really put my mind at rest regarding allergies/intolerances.

The food itself was very nice, especially the wontons and dumplings. The chocolate cake was surprisingly delicious!

Pros: All vegan , Great staff, Great food

Cons: Expensive

Delicious food but pricey

The food was delicious. I had the chef’s special won ton and the noodles. For dessert I had the sesame buns.

Restaurant itself was very clean. There seemed to be additional seating upstairs if you come with a big group.

Staff are super friendly. Only con is that it’s quite expensive.

One of the best vegan Chinese in LDN

We accidentally stumbled upon it when visiting Hampstead Heath gardens and were blown away by the flavours and how tasty every dish we ordered was! I absolutely recommend it and planning to come back in the future for more! 🍣🍱🍢 I don't remember what we ordered but we did order the most popular dishes recommended by the waiter and they were mouthwatering!

The staff was very helpful and friendly.

One of our favourites

We’ve taken friends and family here and it’s always a hit. The food is excellent. And we’ve gotten delivery as well, which has been brilliant. #Veganuary

New fave

Been here twice now with 2 non-vegans and we are fans! It’s true that it’s not the cheapest but I find it comparable to most other Chinese restaurants in London. Food is extremely tasty and the manager Alex is really helpful. I want to come back and try everything!

Expensive but delicious

My second Tofu vegan and I couldn't fault how friendly the staff were, although if you ask for recommendations be prepared for a very detailed run down of the menu. My non-vegan friend was amazed by the dishes, especially the dumplings and the duck. It is very expensive but from what I remember, similar prices to a regular Chinese restaurant.

Disappointed

I was excited to visit Tofu Vegan for lunch Friday 16 September. I was shocked at the price and size of the portions. What I really couldn’t comprehend was being told they added dried chillies but said it’s best not to eat them! So we had to them pick them out, I tried one and it was inedible.

Cons: Dried chillies added but told not to eat them

Expensive and small portions

A friend and I went for lunch and ordered 2 main dishes and a portion of rice for £32!!
It was all really delicious, but the portions were shockingly small and very overpriced.
It’s a shame, I don’t know why the prices are so high. One of the dishes was £13.60.
Unfortunately we won’t be going again, despite the very tasty food and helpful friendly manager.

Pros: Delicious food, Helpful and friendly manager , Lovely decor

Cons: Expensive, Small portions

Tasty but quite pricy

Nicely decorated place, busy when we went (Monday evening in August) Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Our food was delicious - I particularly liked my mapo tofu and the deep fried king oyster mushrooms starter. That said, I am not sure how healthy it actually is - some of our food was bathing in oil! It is also too expensive to make it a regular place for me. Will take non-vegan friends and relatives on occasion.

Flavour sensation

High-class Chinese vegan menu, based around tofu cooked in different ways. Amazing flavours in every dish. Expert waiters, who advise on picking a set of dishes that go well together.

Pros: Quality and variety of options, Expert service

Cons: Portion sizes quite small and expensive

Second chance?

I was very excited to try this place out. I ordered two kinds of vegan dim sums and a mushroom and tofu dish. The dim sums had tasty fillings but they had a bit too much dough for my liking which killed the flavour, as it wasn’t that nice. The main was okay, though I really hoped for it to be more flavoursome (there was supposed to be garlic but it wasn’t garlicky at all), however the sauce was very greasy, there was a thick separated layer of oil. Overall, I was a little disappointed but I would love to give Tofu Vegan another chance

I wish my stomach was bigger

Amazing variety of Asian food, everything plant-based. The food was very flavourful and filling with plenty of high protein options to choose from. The waiter was very kind and recommended me which dishes to order based on my taste. I will definitely come back.

Over priced for quality and portions

I was really disappointed with this place. Over prices for dishes and really small portions. Very stingy with the vegetables too. Noodles I bought for my son super oily and no freshness. Crispy tofu - small portion again hardly any peppers to go with it. Not coming back here again.
