Excellent but a little heavy on the wallet - Edit
Edit 2022: This place is amazing btw. It’s probably one of my favourite all-Vegan restaurants in London. They now have branches in Golders Green & Spitalfields. I’ve been to the Golders Green & it’s just as good!
Read moreThe lotus buns with the twice cooked “f’sh” are becoming a favourite. The Xiao Long Bao are perfect freshly made - they don’t survive a takeaway. The black fungus I also love. And the Wantons are to die for!!!!
2021: Ordered takeaway from here last night and my friend & I were blown away. Some lovely dim sum, black cloud ear mushrooms, cold “chicken” with ginger and sesame, “duck” and pancakes, even the dry fried green beans were delicious. The Xiou Long Bao skins were a little thick & lacked soupiness and we shouldn’t have bothered with the bean paste dessert but everything else I would absolutely order again. Would also like to go to the restaurant some time. Pricy but probably worth it.

Stunning authentic vegan cuisine - Edit
Absolutely fantastic. Authentic Sichuan cuisine but vegan! And the best tofu I've eaten (and I've eaten A LOT of tofu).

Personal favourite vegan Chinese - Edit
Been to various vegan / vegan option Chinese restaurants and I think this is my top one. The menu is vast - though a lot of them are spicy options - and includes dim sum eg. Siu Mai which I’ve never seen a vegan version of before. The only thing missing for me is a sesame prawn toast! Service was really quick and efficient, portion sizes were good although quite expensive for the dim sum. The food tasted delicious, warming, and was lovely to share with others. Nothing was too oily or salty and it was refreshing to not have to worry about whether the dish was vegan or not. I would recommend the aubergine dishes!

Very delicious & so welcoming - Edit
Out of the winter rain and into the warm embrace of Tofu Vegan, where their lovely staff were setting up their Christmas tree.
Read moreWe ate the wontons in house sauce, mixed dim sum, and tofu mock chicken kimchi stew. Each felt like a comforting and warming joy. I swear I could drink that wonton sauce with a straw!
The stew was so rich and satisfying. I love you kimchi I love you tofu I love you steamed rice you are all so precious to me!!!!
Pros: Everything delicious , Staff very welcoming , Good drinks selection
Cons: My stomach is too small for entire menu😂

Miss it 😢 - Edit
We visited London for just 2.5 days and I had to make it to this place. I was craving soup dumplings for the longest time and haven’t been able to find any vegan ones near where I live. Unfortunately we had dinner plans less than 3 hours after we came so we couldn’t eat much. We only had the Soupy Xiao Long Bao stuffed with tofu and mushroom, and the Wontons in a house special sauce. Both were truly phenomenal and I regret not ordering more! Food was awesome. Thank you.

I love Tofu Vegan more than I can express. The food is just incredible! I’ve been countless times and have always had a good meal. Everything comes out hot and full of flavour. The staff are friendly and explain things when needed. They are also dog friendly which is just the cherry on top.

The food is so excellent and service is polite and fast! Favourites are tofu in spicy sauce and wontons in spicy sauce. Bonus points for charging me separately for takeaway so I didn't have to pay service charge on the takeaway - I've never had that anywhere!
Read moreThe only downside is that it's really far from me. Please open a branch in SW!

Such good food! - Edit
It is expensive but the food is excellent. I love Chinese food so being able to have everything on the menu was a treat! The fake meat is really tasty and the staff were really friendly. It does get busy so it’s probably worth booking!

Delicious - Edit
Pulled up to Tofu vegan today for lunch. They had so many delicious looking options that I couldn’t decided what I wanted so I let the waiter order for me. What was brought to me was sizzling tofu and wontons in a house special sauce. Both dishes were fantastic! I would love to visit here again.
