Nice food, over priced - Edit
Enjoyed the food but it was over priced for the size of the portions you get, i prefer planet vegan for Chinese. The staff were lovely though and the restaurant was really nice.

Okay vegan Chinese - Edit
Make sure to book. All branches are busy.
Read moreHad a fine meal, but the menu is somewhat limited and it’s expensive. Planet vegan in Camden is better pricing, and options.
Everything was fine, service is good and fast. But the food was just not really anything to brag about.

Absolutely fab! - Edit
Looove this spot! The menu is fantastic, and the dishes were such a delight! They do excellent mock meats, veggies and tofu options. Soo many things to choose from and the food came nice and quickly too. I was really impressed with the dumplings of all kinds and the fish and bao dish that I tried. I'll be back!!

Sichuan inspired delicious vegan food - Edit
Recommend the "fish" in chilli oil and the wontons (the food has been adapted to Western tastes so is not too spicy). The red bean sauce filling dessert is also delicious and not too sweet. Authentic Chinese place that is 100% vegan. Also reasonably priced. Better to make reservation ahead of going.
Read morePros: Authentic Chinese food, Clean and nice atmosphere, Great location with other vegan places nearby too

Order the Hot and Fragrant Cauliflower! - Edit
I can't stop thinking about that cauliflower...little bites of flavor explosions! I'm going to try to make an attempt to recreate this recipe at home but know I'll never truly get that flavor again until I return to London. Everything we ordered was delicious and memorable...but did I say make sure to order the cauliflower??😉Enjoy!

I like the fact the restaurant is all vegan and with so many options. It means I'm gonna have to go back try other stuff. Service was prompt and great.

Was hoping I could add what food it is to the photo captions, but no can do, so I'll put it here: special fried rice, special fried noodles, gong bao King o'ster mushrooms with cashew nuts. Also had Mouthwatering chick'n with celery in a chilli oil dressing as a starter, but that's not pictured. Dessert that is pictured is sesame rolls stuffed with red bean paste.

All vegan Chinese food - Edit
Came with a big group to try several things. The lamm was really nice full of cumin flavors but quite spicy if you are sensitive to that. The sesame red bean dessert was not very sweet at all but nice.
Read moreThe smacked cucumber was my favorite. It has some kind of mildly spicy sesame sauce which I adored. The place is great with T-shirts and bags for sale as well.

Pros: Smacked cucumber, Vegan clothes and bags for sale, Huge vegan menu
Cons: Slightly difficult to eat with big plastic chopsti, A little pricey

Appetiser portions w/ Entree prices - Edit
Expected more for all the 5 star reviews. Food was good, not amazing, and portions were side dishes/appetiser portions priced as entrees. The duck was good, 6 piece dim sung sampler nothing special, fried aubergine wasn’t what we asked for but it was good. Service was good, decor was nothing. Felt a bit cheated when the bill came! Left feeling it’s over priced and over hyped for what it is.
Read morePros: Vegan duck was good, Good service
Cons: Overpriced / overhyped , No ambiance

Great food - Edit
"Returning to this Tofu Vegan branch for the second time proved worthwhile. The menu predominantly offers veg and tofu dishes. We began with pot stickers and proceeded to sample sweet & sour 'chicken,' crispy tofu in house sauce, and chicken chili. While everything was flavorful, the chicken chili leaned heavily on the chili side, deviating from the menu's portrayal. Nevertheless, the overall experience was satisfying, offering solid Sichuan cuisine that warrants a return visit."

Gut, Besser, Tofu Vegan - Edit
Während unserer Zeit in London waren wir zweimal da. Das Essen war super. Gäbe es mehr als 5 Sterne, dann gäbe ich sie.
Read moreDas Tolle ist, daß es kein vegan gemachtes Essen ist, sondern wirklich traditionelles chinesisches Essen. Das Gemüse ist toll, der Tofu und die WanTans der Hit.
Das Lokal ist angenehm ruhig und die Bedienung freundlich und aufmerksam.
Ich bin glücklich übers Essen gewesen.
