savory package - Edit
For me, all-vegan always starts with 5 stars as a baseline, and if I don't find too much of a fly in the ointment, it stays that way. The place felt sound & solid, the food was delicious.

Delicious! - Edit
Food is amazing but we sat outside and our table and chairs were on a bit of pavement that wasn’t flat so we were on a tilt for the whole evening and the bin men came and it rained, we found it all really funny, but not quite the romantic meal for two we thought we were headed for!
Read moreIt was also at the top of our range price wise, so all things considered that’s why it isn’t a 5 from me!

Delicious food. The staff were thoughtful and recommended changes to our choices that enhanced our meal (without trying to upsell). Highly recommend.

The BEST Chinese EVER - Edit
I cannot rave about how delicious this food was. This was the best Chinese we have ever had, even prior to being vegan.
Read moreThe ethos was great. The information about the business was lovely. And the merch was so cute! I had to buy a tote bag! Such good quality for £5.50.
We ate so much food and had the rest boxed up for takeaways. The place was packed and the takeaways were booming.
We had:
All vegan -
Salt & Pepper Chicken,
House Special Wontons (highly recommended on the menu),
Siu Mai,
Fried noodles with tofu,
Steamed rice (refillable),
Sizzling tofu with Black bean sauce,
Special friend rice,
Chongquing chicken in a pile of fragrant chillies.
They were all superb. Particularly the salt and pepper chicken, noodles and sizzling tofu!
Pros: Amazing food, Great portion sizes, The best Chinese food ever

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.

Okay - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Best vegan food in London! - Edit
Tofu vegan has the most amazing, flavourful food - it’s the one place in London that I’ll go again and again!! So yummy and great for all occasions. Definitely get the wontons in house special sauce if you go!! Also excellent service and lovely vibe inside!

Delicious food, amazing staff - Edit
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.

Sooo good! - Edit
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!

Tofu - Edit
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 - Edit
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!
