Reviews for Tofoo Com Chay Vegetarian Cuisine in San Jose, CA

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 whichwas amazing, but I think the main highlight for me and my partner was the teriyaki kebob. It brought us right back to the streetcorner stalls of South East Asia (even if vegan version is way better). The people running the restaurant were so lovely, theyeven gave peanut butter to our dog ! Dont miss out on this incredible place Read more

My partner and I went to the Mayfair neighborhood to spend the day because we heard the neighborhood was cool - and it is! We... were after some Vietnamese food, as always. When looking up vegetarian options, Tofoo Com Chay came up, and we decided to checkit out. It?s close to downtown and SJSU. It?s a very cute, mom and pop store run by an elderly couple. When you come in,there?s a deli display with many vegetarian ?meats?. It?s very impressive and it looks very real! After looking at the menu, wegot three items: bamboo soup, teriyaki tofu sandwich, and tofu summer rolls. This was too much for the two of us, which issaying something because we have big appetites! There?s a lot of variety in the menu. The teriyaki tofu sandwich was delicious.The tofu was well seasoned with lots of well pickled veggies. The lettuce added a nice crunch. The bread was perfect for banhmi. It needed a sauce, as the sandwich was a little dry, but it was very flavorful nonetheless. Would get again! The bamboosoup was amazing. The chunks of bamboo were delicious. There were four different types of ?meat?, each with their own specifictextures and flavors. They were so convincing that my partner, a lifelong vegetarian, was freaked out! The summer rolls had anexcellent sauce! The restaurant owners were very kind. Their passion is clear to see and they really wanted to make sure we hadan excellent experience. Definitely go here, even if you?re not vegetarian! Read more

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. Read more

I got the spicy noodle soup here and it did not disappoint. The broth was incredibly flavorful and there was a variety of... different plant based proteins and veggies to really make it hearty. Friendly and quick service. I'll definitely be back nexttime I'm in town. Read more

Friendly staff serving large tasty portions at budget price. Only downside is limited space inside for seating and feels a... little dark. But nice to have a place that serves many vegan options! Read more

Located right in Downtown San Jose, this place is a hidden gem for all the vegans. From the kebabs to the fried rice, everything... is fantastic! The staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable as well. Read more

Pretty good food, 4.5stars sandwich, 4stars lunch combo with sesame chicken and fried rice. TL;DR: I've had better for just as... cheap, but this place is fine by itself. It's pretty cheap, but for credit cards it's $20 minimum. Picking lunch wasconfusing: I figured since they have lunch combos with 1 or two items I'll get sandwich as one "item" But it doesn't work thisway - menu options and combos are completely separate things. It feels like this restaurant is really great with menu items,but not great with combos. After all my sandwich was really good, but combo - not so much. Read more

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 tolisten to them speaking Vietnamese amongst themselves and with some local regulars. The owner said he opened this shop morethan 35 years ago after coming from Vietnam. The vegan ?meats? were originally made using bananas, but they now use soy base orjackfruit. The vegan kebabs and chicken were really tasty and filling. I?d been frustrated by the lack of vegetarian optionswhen I visited Vietnam in the 90?s, but the owners assured me I would find a lot of great options now. Such friendlypeople. For sustainability, eat-in diners on reusable plates and utensils but to-go in plastic packaging in plastic bags itseems (so bring your own to save in take-out waste if you can). Read more
