Tofu Vegan Islington Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Every single dish was prepared to perfection with really great flavours."
• "The Fisc was unbelievably real tasting and really well paired with the bao buns."
• "The dumplings and aubergine were so delicious."
• "Food was stunning, I went in not having tried tofu and left craving it!"
• "The twice-cooked ‘fisc’ is not to be missed! Also loved the wontons and the soup dumplings."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately, not a great experience with the food. The dumplings were squishy, fragile and just fell apart on touch."
• "The honey covered tofu was sickly sweet."
• "The cucumber noodle dish cannot be described in words."
• "The food is bland. Well made, but bland."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff is very friendly and recommended us the 'fisc' which was great!"
• "Service was excellent, while we chose a number of different dishes, the waitress made a few alternative suggestions based on flavours."
• "Service was really quick and the food arrived promptly as well."
• "The staff were so excellent, attentive and kind. The service was impeccable and efficient."
• "The servers were brilliant and attentive, especially the host on the door who welcomed us."

Cons:

• "Service was quick (as it always is) and food was really tasty, but they only had the table for an hour."
• "Service is non existent really. It was a quiet Friday lunchtime. Was sat at the table, they slapped a greasy menu down and no one came to take an order for almost 45 min."
• "Service is excellent, ambiance is great, food is tasty BUT way too many onions in most dishes, could definitely use some other vegetables."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The food was delicious, the portions were generous and the price was fair."
• "This place serve’s extremely tasty Chinese vegan food... Definitely recommend this place."
• "So so delicious, freshly made, rapid service. Everything I’ve ordered here before has been impeccable and I’ve ordered a lot."

Cons:

• "Too expensive for bland flavours unfortunately."
• "A must try! Just be ready to spend more than usual for a Chinese restaurant in London..."
• "It’s not easy to find a vegetarian Chinese restaurant in London so I gave it a try... and in small portion, therefore you may need to spend a bit more than in other Chinese restaurant."
• "Food was delicious. BUT it was my Birthday and my younger brother and sister were treating me to lunch (both are students) so they asked for the hefty service charge to be removed. The attitude of the staff changed, they were speaking Chinese and you could tell they were bad mouthing us, another server came over with a cloth that he was using to clean tables and called us CHEAPSKATEs!!! He was the bald guy, he absolutely ruined my day. Service charge is optional and were questioned multiple times as to why we were removing it, even though we had explained the situation."
• "Very delicious but ridiculously expensive. Just charging a pound less per meal would not rob the restaurant but would keep customers happy and returning. I would go every week, now I have non plans to return any time soon. However high prices inspired me to cook my own!"
