It’s always exciting to have a full vegan menu and be able to order anything I want! I travel for work and struggle to find a place I can eat sometimes.This small, quaint, and charming mom and pop restaurant checked ALL my boxes! My noodle salad with broth was full of flavor, sweet, hot, spicy, warm, crisp, and fresh. My third picture is of the giant bag of food I got “to go” for later this night and tomorrow!

Small Vegan Restaurant with express meals.
Food: The dishes were good, but was a bit oily for me. They have decent servings for 2 item meals. It was warmed in the microwave for dine-in meals.
Ambiance: Not fancy. A bit dark and cold inside. Best for take out meals.
Value: Prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service.

Tofoo Com Chay is a delectable vegan hole in the wall in downtown SJ. It’s not a huge place (seating for around 12 people total inside and out) but the food is top notch. I highly recommend their lunch combos – I got fried rice with a couple sides (eggplant tofu and a vegan “chicken” dish) and it was absolutely wonderful. I recommend the skewers and spring rolls as well.
The total for all the food in the picture was $22, an incredible deal considering the portion sizes and of course the food itself. When I came on a weekday for lunch with a friend it wasn’t crowded at all, I suppose most people take out. Highly recommend this spot, I’ll be coming again for sure!

Everything there is vegan and delicious! Their pho is sublime! I got pho, ban mi sandwich and a lunch special with lemon grass chicken and eggplant tofu – all dishes were tasty! The staff: Benjamin, Kim and Han are all friendly and polite! Although the place is small, my overall experience was great! Definitely recommended!

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 was confusing: I figured since they have lunch combos with 1 or two items I’ll get sandwich as one “item”
But it doesn’t work this way – 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.

We absolutely loved this small little hole in the wall vegan restaurant! The man at the counter was so kind and friendly. He provided suggestions on what to order when I wasn’t sure. The portions were big and everything we had was super tasty!! Highly recommend!!

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).

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.

An absolute hole in the wall gem. I had meetings at SJSU and went here for a quick casual lunch and it did not disappoint.
To be clear this is a vegan restaurant..so even though they have meat skewers, shrimp, etc it’s all soy and tofu.
