Changing menu and tasty options. Usually hearty foods like curries, warm salads etc. Some desserts on hand, too. Worth a visit.

Fine - Edit
This was my first time trying tofulicious. They have 3 bowl sizes. I was worried the medium bowl would be too much but it wasn’t. I checked and all of the main dishes were vegan. I thought the serving size was ok but I don’t think the small would be big enough. The dishes were fine without being amazing. I think you choose 10 dishes. The standout was the broccoli with tempeh.

Yeah I reckon Cookatoo just along the road is so much better: 100% vegan, super cheap, friendly vegan staff 😋

Yep I much prefer cookatoo but I wanted to try this one as I had the day off work. I won’t be back.

Overpriced, Underwhelming - Edit
Food is okay, pretty expensive for what it is - which wouldn’t be so bad if not for the rude service. I note other reviewers have had different experiences, however I find the hostility and resentment leaves a bad taste in my mouth every time. At least something to flavour the lacklustre dishes.

Pros: Many vegan options , Good cakes and chai
Cons: Stinginess of spirit and serving size, Expensive, Bain Marie dishes with little flavour or texture

Was it the older lady? I also thought she acted like she had better things to do..and although I enjoyed the food quite a lot, I'm reluctant to make the trek out to be treated like a beggar.

Pop along the road for a superior, fully vegan buffet at Cookatoo Kitchen.

Excellent apple crumble - Edit
Great choice for lunch. Every item in the buffet was vegan. Their tofu was delicious. They also have a range of healthy, sugar-free cakes. I tried a couple and both were fantastic, with the apple crumble being particularly remarkable.

Yummy, fresh, healthy - Edit
I enjoyed my medium platter - got a bit of everything and the tofu is pillowy soft. Some of the soy sauce based dishes could have been stronger. Platter was v filling i had two scoops of the chocolate and pandan chocolate ice cream on top

Healthy tasty food - Edit
I really enjoyed my meal here and felt really healthy eating it. The menu changes every fortnight, and I opted for a medium bowl. It wasn't clear how many dishes you can pick, and even after asking, the lady said she will tell me when it's enough...ok..but I like to know so I can strategically choose. Anyway, I ended up choosing 5 dishes (the chilli jam and tom yum tofu was my favourite, the tempeh in the broccoli dish was really good and I usually don't like tempeh, the cucumber cabbage tomato salad was very good and so fresh, the zucchini parsnip curry was delish although pretty sure it was potato not parsnip, and the lemongrass ginger tofu didn't have strong flavour) and there was a choice one of 2 sauces, only the tofu sauce was vegan (it tasted like tahini, which I'm not a fan of). Also some other toppings, of which I chose the mango chutney, which went really well with the tofu sauce.
Read moreI would definitely go here again, it's very filling for the price, and feels very nutritious eating here.
The service isn't exactly warm or welcoming, but I suppose you can't have everything.
Pros: good range of delicious food
Cons: not clear how many dishes you can choose

Good lunch - Edit
Read moreI was here for lunch. You can choose the size of the bowls and then pick whatever you want
Some items were really delicious and well flavoured. Others had cilantro in them without saying so. I unfortunately could not eat them. Outdoor seating available also inside. Inside are some high tables. The lady serving the dishes seemed rather annoyed and not friendly
Pros: Delicious
Cons: Service is unwelcoming

Best vegan restaurant we have ever been to! - Edit
BEST vegan restaurant we have ever been to! This place is by far the best plant-based dining experience I've ever had. The food was absolutely delicious and expertly prepared, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic vegan meal. Five stars all around!

Delicious food - Edit
Tasty dishes and soy chai.
Read moreThe medium eat inside bowl is pricey at $21 but there is a lot of variety in the dishes.
Next time I would be more selective in my food, had a bit of everything this time and it was overfilling which I only realised once I started drinking my soy latte.
The canelleni beans stew and black beans, carrot and cauliflower were my favourites. The cucumber and dill salad was yummy.
I don't think I selected a single dish with tofu in it! Shall have to return to try it. The soy chai was impressive and had deep flavour.

Only had room for ice cream - Edit
Had already had lunch when we stumbled across the Tofu Shop. But we certainly had a bit of room left for ice cream which were both handmade. The food on offer looked lovely and there was a steady flow of customers coming in. Would definitely go back to try the savoury food. Really friendly staff.

Hearty healthy food - Edit
Friendly and fast service. Proper homemade style food; everything was fresh and wholesome. Went for the large bowls as we were hungry. It can end up as a bit of a mishmash if you're keen to try everything, but you could always be more selective if you want! Tofu cakes were also nice though a bit pricey.
Read morePros: Menu changes regularly, Everything was vegan the day we visited, Substantial food (large plate)

Delicious food and nice variety - Edit
Very friendly and knowledgeable service at this family run business. Only one of the dishes was not vegan suitable (contained feta). The dishes had a good variety of flavour and style, despite how many of them featured tofu. Lovely spot for a bite to eat!

Overpriced and measly portions - Edit
Tried for the first time. Got 2 options. The chili tofu, which wasnt too bad. But had tempeh and broccoli with a sauce. Literally had 2 pieces of small tempeh and the rest was broccoli. So that was pretty ridiculous for the price. In summary, expensive for the size and quantity of protein. Owner was a little weird too and was going on a rant about political stuff.

The best tofu in Melbourne! - Edit
I’ve been stopping by for years. I used to work nearby and this place was my lunchtime staple. Now I make a special trip when I am in the area. I nearly always get the same thing; 2 spring rolls, tofu dip, chili & ginger. It’s devine. The spring rolls have sultanas and almonds in them and cabbage. They are so good. Not a traditional spring roll.
Read moreThe tofu is so tasty, home made and super fresh. You can bring your own container and buy it fresh to use in your cooking at home. The tofu slices and tofu ice cream are lovely too.
Pros: Delish, fresh & healthy., Great flavours & quick easy food., Bulk buy fresh tofu. Bring your own container.
Cons: The bowls are too expensive. Get the middle size.

Decent food a little overpriced - Edit
Tofu Shop international was a decent feed. I'd certainly eat there again if I was in the area and get something to eat, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. The food was good but a little overpriced for what it was, it certainly wasn't expensive but it is more expensive then similar places elsewhere in the city.
Read morePros: good food, friendly service
Cons: a bit pricey

Healthy and tasty quick lunch - Edit
This is a great spot to grab a quick lunch that's actually healthy. Lots of pre-made dishes to choose from. I chose to have a mix of many dishes. I got the medium size which was just the right amount to fill me up. It was tasty and I enjoyed sitting at the bar looking out the window while I ate. There are lots of vegan options to choose from. It's not super cheap, but it is enjoyable eating!

YUM YUM - Edit
Highly recommend this place. I have been a few times and I love the busy atmosphere and variety of hearty vegan options. Next time I will remember to choose the smaller bowl size because it was super filling and pretty pricey. Loved there matcha ice cream but tofu apple crumble was a big let down!

Quality, flavour, friendly - Edit
When living nearby some years ago, I was a regular at Tofu Shop Int'l.
Read moreRecently an appointment nearby took me back there and the new generation of the original owners have taken up the mantle and improved on it.
This is exquisitely prepared food, no quick throwing together. And with quality ingredients. So the prices need to reflect this.
My husband and I enjoyed the whole experience so much we are wishing we lived nearby again.
Highly recommended. Bought the recipe book.
Pros: Beautifully prepared food, High quality ingredients, Delicious flavours
Cons: Limited seating
