Tofu Vegan Islington is a completely plant based Chinese restaurant at 105 Upper Street. The original branch brings together chefs with experience of Sichuan, Cantonese and Dongbei cooking, using vegetables, tofu, mushrooms and bean protein to create dishes with generous flavour and varied texture.
Cold plates, dumplings and dim sum provide plenty of ways to begin a shared meal. Wontons in house sauce, mushroom dumplings, silken tofu and crisp vegetables balance fragrance, chilli and savoury depth, with clear spice labels helping diners choose the intensity that suits their table.
Mapo tofu, sweet potato noodles, cumin seasoned imitation lamb and Chongqing style imitation chicken show the range of regional influences. King oyster mushrooms, deep fried asparagus and other vegetables receive the same careful seasoning, proving that the menu is designed around Chinese technique rather than simple substitutions.
Rice, noodles and seasonal specials make it easy to build either a quick lunch or a generous dinner from several plates. Tea, soft drinks and vegan desserts complete the experience, while online reservations and welcoming service make the busy Upper Street restaurant practical for groups as well as individual diners.
Address: 105 Upper Street, Islington, London N1 1QN, United Kingdom
