So much choice on the menu, my friend and I can't wait to return. Dishes were a good size and delicious, and we enjoyed the desserts too. Sitting outside was lovely. Helpful staff.

Best Chinese in London! - Edit
Honestly some of the tastiest Chinese food I’ve ever had! Incredibly impressed with the massive gluten free menu, which a lot of thought has clearly been put into. The staff were lovely and clearly so passionate about spreading the vegan message. A new favourite and will definitely be back.

Gawg meal - Edit
I was looking forward to our anniversary meal and the food didn't disappoint....Not as small as some people are saying but a lot more money per dish than any other Chinese in the area. The service was pleasant and the area by the front of the restaurant vvv airy and nice but would not be happy if was seated out back in the gloom.
Read moreWe had 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 lots of noodles (i love noodles). 1 starter wasn't great and the first lot of noodles had hardly any veg yet the second one had lots and some fake meat? Inconsistent.
I would go again but not rush, which I'm sad to say as thought it was going to be out of this world .
Pros: All vegan , Tasty food
Cons: Expensive , Not the nicest of restaurants

Worth it, if you can afford it - Edit
Book a table (it's easy online) as this one seems to be very popular. As others have said, the portions are rather small, not like in bulk chinese restaura ts, and also a portion of cooked rice is just a small cup so if you are two, order for both. The good thing about small portions is that you can order several of the interesting items from the menu... The downside of course is that it is quite pricey. I recommend the stylish and very tasty Peking duck.

Advance bookings recommended, This place is good! - Edit
This vegan Chinese restaurant, now with two branches, Islington and Golders Green, had been on my list of vegan restaurants to try for a while and thank goodness I called and booked, as for weekend bookings I was told generally you’ll need to call up to two weeks before! It was true and I had to book on a different date.
Read moreOriental food is generally my favourite vegan cuisine, so I was so very much looking forward to eating here.
I'd agree with some other reviews, that it's a little expensive, but absolutely worth it, for the extensive range of dishes on offer and with generous portion sizes, you will not go hungry. I’d imagine the business rates for the fantastic location don’t come cheap, so I understand the prices.
I was at the Islington restaurant with family and friends, so we were all able to try a little of each other's dishes, which was great, as it gave me ideas on what to order next time!
The Hand Shredded king oyster mushrooms was a good starter and the Deep-fried King Oyster Mushrooms with salt and Sichuan pepper was good too. The similar deep fried tofu dish was delivered to our table in error, but I have to say it looks amazing too and was disappointed to hand it back!
The Wontons (dumplings in the house special sauce) was good too.
My main was Sizzling fried tofu in a black bean sauce and I’d suggest a side of rice with this, as I had.
Overall really looking forward to my next visit. I will go to the branch in Golders Green I think as the menu differs slightly.
Enjoy!
Pros: ALL vegan , Islington - Fab location , Lots of choice
Cons: A little pricy

My favourite vegan Chinese restaurant - Edit
I went to Tofu Vegan in person in mid 2021, and I’ve been desperate to go back and try more of the menu ever since! The experience in 2021 was wonderful, the food was great, the staff were all so friendly and accommodating and the restaurant itself was really cute. It was positive experience that really stayed with me.
Read moreI was finally able to get some of the food again, but this time as a takeaway - and the quality of food was just as incredible. The portions are large, so much so I worried I wasn’t going to be able to finish this food - but it was so delicious I finished the lot. The delivery was quick too. Whether in person, or as a takeaway, I highly recommend Tofu Vegan!
