Another delicious meal at Tofu Vegan - Edit
Tony was very warm and friendly and made me and my friend feel welcome. To start, we tucked into the not-too-spicy wontons and delightful spring rolls (my friend’s absolute favourite - sometimes she visits just to order these!) Followed by MY personal favourite - gong bao king oyster mushrooms with cashew nuts. The texture of the mushroom is incredible - thick chunks covered with gorgeous sauce. And in my opinion, no Chinese meal is complete without fake duck pancakes! Amazing vegan take on the popular classic. I was also feeling experimental, so I had their “mixed” option of fruit juice - apple, orange and carrot, with a hint of ginger too. It was delicious and very healthy! Lovely decor and some branded items to buy too - such as tote bags and t-shirts. Thank you Tofu Vegan for another wonderful experience.

classic for a reason - Edit
I can’t believe I didn’t go here sooner. Tofu Vegan was recommended to me by people who aren’t even vegan or vegetarian. They have lots of dishes I rarely or never have seen vegan. Everything was incredible. Even loved by meat-eating friends.

Fast and delicious food - Edit
We just stopped in for one dish as we’d already eaten. My partner loved this mouthwatering chicken even though it’s quite simple and room temperature. The celery underneath provides a nice contrast. The service was pretty quick and the food all around smelled delicious. Lucky people that love nearby.

The rave reviews are spot on - Edit
Extensive menu with sooo many amazing looking options, we were overwhelmed with what to pick! We got the wontons in house special sauce to start, gong bao chicken with peanuts, stir fried tofu with king oyster and shiitake mushrooms and twice cooked “fisc.” It was all delicious. We also had the sesame rolls stuffed with red bean paste for dessert which could have had a little more flavour in them.

Loved the wontons - Edit
Excellent flavours and massive menu!
Read moreI got an aubergine dish and the wontons and quite liked both. The aubergine was a little too rich for me, but that might be my preference. Great spices.

A lot of options - Edit
There is a lot to choose on the menu so that is fine. But everything goes in a rush. The main course was already served while I was still eating my starter. Food was okay

Wayyyy too hyped up - Edit
Reading the reviews here you’d think this place was the second coming. The food was fine to good, no complaints. Extremely poor value though. Smaller servings and they charge extra for a small serving of white rice, the cheapest food item on the planet. Our meal was $85 USD, a solid $30 more than it should have been.

-1x appetizer
-3x entree selections to share (ordered an extra because the portions were smaller than expected)

Cons: Value

Tasty Vegan Chinese - Edit
I was very impressed with the many and varied vegan options. Vegans of all tast palettes and preferences can find something.
Read moreThe duck and pancakes was impressive - hadn't had vegan duck as good. But the taste of the silken tofu in spicy sauce was the best for me.
