Tofu Vegan is a very good vegan restaurant in the Whitechapel area.  They serve a selection of freshly made dim sum and some entrees. 

This is a popular restaurant and when I went at dinner time on a Thursday the line was out the door. So we opted for takeout. 

Everything was delicious and healthy. Vegan dim sum is hard to come by. If you felt left out of the dim sum scene because you are vegan, come join the fun at Tofu Vegan. 

Highly recommend.

Great food. Amazing service. Comfortable. You can really feel the love the staff has for the food and experience. 

Best food of our trip so far; oldest daughter is non meat non dairy with tree nut allergies so it is hard at times to find decent food when we travel. 
But menu lists all the allergens as applicable and they really seem to care about food safety. 
If this is how good vegan food can be then I may need to consider being a bit more vegan. 
Visited location in Kensington area, not on Yelp. 

Try the make it your self Bao buns. 
Server recommended it and we were stunned at how fun the experience was and how good it tasted. 

Will return. 100%

Once you have vegan friends, you start visiting places you would never have considered visiting at all. In this specific case it was a pleasant surprise. The food was extremely good, I mean if all vegan food is that good, who does need meat anyway? You can't tell the difference. We instantly got a seat, only downside was, that one of the waiters wasn't too familiar with either the dishes or the English language because she wasn't able to tell what specifically was in the dishes (I mean, would be good to know in case of allergies)... at least she could have asked the chef but somehow she just got a little "angry" and lost er patience. But it's not been too bad, so everything was still okay. The noise inside the restaurant is a little disturbing you can't talk to each other without yelling or screaming. Overall it was a great experience never the less.

Just visited the Tofu vegan on Charlotte Street and had Qun as my server and she was absolutely amazing. She gave me all her recommendations for her favorite dishes and I was not disappointed to say the least. They were all so delicious and authentic. I will be coming back! Great service Qun :)

The food is outstanding and I love coming here although the service is not great. 

Apparently not all servers are allowed to take full orders for the table- only starters.. meanwhile they take the full order- write it down and you then wonder where your mains are 50 mins later.. never was I asked if I wanted another drink while I waited..

The manager did reluctantly provide a discount given we had to stay for an extra hour while we waited, re ordered and then were served. That was nice and I did appreciate that.

Great staff. Great food. I'm so happy I gave this place a chance. We took the server suggestions to hard and ordered everything that he suggested. This restaurant is a family style. Food is suggested to share.  

We shared the following dishes:
Deep Fried tofu with  salt and pepper
Gong bao o'ster mushrooms with cashew nuts 
Wontons 
Twice cooked fisc
Fries noodles. 

There was three of us in the party and we thought this was enough food.   Everything had good flavor. Our favorite was the Gong bao o'ster mushrooms with cashew nuts. Our least favorite was the Twice cooked fisc. 

It was busy on a Monday night, but we didn't have to wait long to be seated.

The mapo tofu and wontons in chilli sauce are amazing. We order in from tofu vegan multiple times and have never been disappointed

The concept of vegan dim sum blew my mind. Everything was well made and the skins are just as authentic as regular dim sum. The fillings are mostly tofu & lotus, which tastes a bit more plain but I think they did the best. The fried aubergine/eggplant was stunning -- incredibly tender, the crispy spicy breadcrumbs and dressing sauce was amazing!! Didn't get to try their fake meat dishes to draw direct comparisons but everything was great already.
