Best Chinese food I've ever had - Edit
The twice cooked fish and the wontons in house sauce I could recommend 100 x times. Genuinely insane. I think about them all the time.

I’m salivating - Edit
When I tell you this place is beyond delicious. Oh my goodness gracious this place is absolute perfection. You must go. You will be sorry if you don’t. I’ve recently left London & I miss this place so much already. The food is beyond delicious. The portion sizes are great. We asked the waiter what he recommended & his suggestions were some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend this establishment enough.

Really delicious food - Edit
I got food delivered from Tofu Vegan this evening and it was really good! Highly recommend the duck pancakes and pan-fried King oyster mushrooms. Looking forward to getting food from here again in the future if I’m in the area.

Familiar dishes as well as many dishes you don’t see veganised anywhere else. Staff were lovely and I can’t wait to go back to explore the dim sum.

Dim Sum… - Edit
Oh my, do I miss their vegan dim sum. Such a difficult thing to find as a vegan. They definitely recreated all the usual standbys in such a wonderful way.

Amazing vegan Sichuan food - Edit
So delicious!! I'm staying with friends nearby and they're obsessed with this place, they literally order from here at least twice a week. So i knew I had to go when I visited! I went with my friend and we got a bunch of things, the fried fish which was AMAZING, dim sum (also AMAZING), aubergine in fish sauce (or something like that) , the last was out only complaint cuz it was super spicy.
Read moreSichuan food is famous for being spicy, but this dish only had one spicy pepper next to it, the same as the fish which wasn't spicy at all. Our waiter was super nice and when we were gonna order another dish instead he offered to have them make it less spicy, which they did. But I would just ask the spice level of things next time.
Rice portions are pretty tiny, we ordered one per person but we could have definitely eaten more. Depends on personal preference obviously.
Overall so impressed with the flavors and textures, will def be back whenever I'm in town.

Tofu Vegan - Edit
The extensive menu in this 100% vegan Chinese makes choosing what to eat tricky. We decided on the spicy wontons to start. They were tremendous, soft outer with a tasty interior of diced veg and tofu. The sauce they are served in is out of this world; spicy, rich flavour that cries out to be drunk like soup. Speaking of which, we also had the sweet corn soup which was good with a fair amount of tofu in. For main, we had the salt and pepper tofu which had a good level of flavour, the special noodles which were well cooked and contained flavoured tofu/seitan. The only disappointment was the main of hot and fragrant tofu. It came served in crispy noodles which were too dry for the dish(luckily I had some of the wonton sauce left to pour over them). As well as tofu, there were cubes of sweet potato which didn’t work well with the dish. Above all else was the amount of Szechuan pepper that had been used. It totally overpowered the dish making it very difficult to eat and making the notorious mouth buzz from the pepper so intense to be a little unpleasant.
Read moreThat said, there are so many other tempting dishes on the menu, I would certainly revisit and put the Szechuan pepper dish down to just not being to my taste. It would be nice to see bigger portions for the price.
Pros: So many choices
Cons: Portions could be bigger for price, All food brought at once

Read moreEnjoyed the Wontons which is a most recommended dish and the the stir fry ho fu rice noodles with vegetables and extra tofu. Found the Wontons slightly salty so I added water and it tasted great. Though I had to add soy sauce and sweet chilli sause to the noodles to make it taste better as it was a bit bland.
I enjoy the ambiance with I instrumental Chinese music light played in the background.
Great to find a vegan Chinese restaurant. I'd come again to try something else if I could.
I found out they make their own tofu and soy milk in house so will want to try their sky milk which is a by product of tofu making.

Really Delicious Vegan Food - Edit

Very nice and tasty food - Edit
If you want to experience like eating asian “meat” dishes in a vegan way, this is a very nice place to do so.
Read moreI found it very good food and good price as well. I would definitely recommend sharing and get around 1.5/ 2 portions per person.

Such a large variety of things to try and all delicious. The chilli is numbing and just makes you feel happy when eating it. Not too spicy either. Service was really friendly too.

Great flavourful food! - Edit
We were very lucky to get us table on summer saturday night. I was bit afraid by the location and prices it will bee somehow overly posh for me. At the end there was good mixture of people and the staff was very welcoming and friendly.
Read moreWee tried about 4 different meals to share. And everything was delicious. Marking of the level of spiciness was pretty accurate so didn't have to fight with any fire in mouth:D
Unfortunately, only after we ate and got the bill and had a little chat with the lady, we found out about the degustation menu, must be ordered week ahead. Well, good reason to come back.
Pros: A lot of options, Flavourfull
Cons: Prices
