Tofoo Com Chay

Ordered the Vermicelli Noodle Salad (Bún Khổ Đặc Biệt). The egg roll that came with it was good, and this is my opinion of the veggie pork and veggie chicken. The veggie pork tasted like a thin hard bean curd, but I will say that the sweet and sour veggie chicken did actually taste like chicken, and I am saying this as a near-lifetime meat eater. The service was fast and responsive. And the ambiance is very casual.

Hole in the wall place and so worth it! Prices are great, friendly staff, and food is on point! Loved that they gave a lot of noodles in the Pho. Will be coming back!

Fair warning - our rating is influenced by the fact that vegan Asian cuisine is generally difficult to find, so it's good for what it is. Judging against all the other good food in the Bay would knock at least a star and a half off this location. We had lunch here on a weekend. It's a very small vegan establishment with limited seating on the inside. The lighting is dim as well. It's a very hole-in-wall kind of vibe. You order upfront, get seated, and your food will be served to you. The man who took our orders was very friendly. We ordered a plate of summer rolls as an appetizer, the yellow noodle soup, and the special fried rice. SUMMER ROLLS: The summer rolls come in a set of three, all cut in half. In it are your usual spring roll ingredients and, presumably, a vegan protein. This was very delicious, especially with the peanut dip that came with it. SPECIAL FRIED RICE: This was a very celery forward tasting dish. The fried rice is plated beautifully, surrounded by a circle of cucumbers and topped with vegan beef and pickled carrots and radishes. The vegan beef looks very similar to real beef and could've fooled anyone but the texture gave it away that it's plant based. YELLOW NOODLE SOUP: This is an egg noodle soup served with broccoli, carrots, tofu and an unknown plant based protein. It comes with a bag of bean sprouts, basil and hot sauce. The soup is a bit greasy but otherwise good. I wasn't a fan of the plant based protein in terms of taste and in the end, resorted to only eating the noodles as the soup was a bit greasy. This soup gives off that "homemade" vibe very well. It's quite nostalgic, if that's what you're trying to go for. The prices here are great honestly; you get what you expect with that price. It's honestly hard to find an establishment that doesn't have sky high prices. We don't have a lot of experience with vegan food, especially so with plant based proteins. It is honestly not to our preference but we wanted to give it a go, and this might be a good place to try if you're a vegan. The only thing we would note is that they appear to have used the microwave to heat all our dishes - both the noodle base and the fried rice. It does raise questions about how fresh the ingredients are, but the approach is consistent with the overall ambiance of the place.

THE BEST VEGAN SPICY NOODLE SOUP! I was lucky enough to be staying with a friend who lives nearby here, and when I discovered this place on Yelp I knew I had to try. The spicy noodle soup was stuffed with a variety of fake meats, all of which were incredible, and my favorite of which was the ham. I've had a lot of fake meats in my life and this was definitely some of the best. The spicy broth was so flavorful and it also came with a bag of toppings and some vegetables which were a great addition. The noodles were $13 cash which I thought was great value. Portion size is perfect for one meal. The guy who runs the store was really friendly and honestly just by looking at him you can telll he's really really nice. I would love to come back to try the other menu items and the deli options. There were also some steamed buns and skewers that looked delicious. I would travel back to San Jose just to eat here again. Absolutely incredible.

The gentleman in the front is friendly and smiles. Fried fish stick was so similar to fried tilapia. Salad was sweet, sour, and spicy. This vegan place is definitely a go for both vegans and non-vegans
