Tofoo Com Chay

Fantastic vegan Vietnamese food at a place that is a bit run down, but you won’t be disappointed by the flavors and textures. I had the fried rice with 2 main dish choices for $9 and an even $10 with a Soda. Cash only. Staff are friendly and its fun to listen to them speaking Vietnamese amongst themselves and with some local regulars. The owner said he opened this shop more than 35 years ago after coming from Vietnam. The vegan ‘meats’ were originally made using bananas, but they now use soy base or jackfruit. The vegan kebabs and chicken were really tasty and filling. I’d been frustrated by the lack of vegetarian options when I visited Vietnam in the 90’s, but the owners assured me I would find a lot of great options now. Such friendly people. For sustainability, eat-in diners on reusable plates and utensils but to-go in plastic packaging in plastic bags it seems (so bring your own to save in take-out waste if you can).

Always my favorite place to eat. The price change a bit due market inflation but still in a good price compare other restaurants. The quality still the same. Try it and you won't regrets. I ordered bun bo hue and mi nuoc for this time.

BEST VEGETARIAN PHO EVER. I have had multiple vegetarian phos in my life and was always left disappointed. This broth is the real deal, so deep in flavour, well balanced and so heart warming. Oh and its huge!! I had as well the spicy noodle soup which was amazing, but I think the main highlight for me and my partner was the teriyaki kebob. It brought us right back to the street corner stalls of South East Asia (even if vegan version is way better). The people running the restaurant were so lovely, they even gave peanut butter to our dog ! Dont miss out on this incredible place
