Tofoo Com Chay Vegetarian Cuisine

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!

I love this place! Everything is super reasonably priced, which is especially rare near campus. The food is so good that many of my non-vegan friends eat here, too. The owners are also the sweetest people you'll ever meet. I'd reccomend the pho—I get it any time I'm having a bad day because I know it'll always make me feel better.

The staff here is super friendly and they have tons of amazing vegan options. This is the perfect place to grab a quick bite if you're in a pinch and the prices are pretty affordable!

This place is incredible. The food is so flavorful and there's so much to choose from. I've only ever been delighted by what I ate. The lemongrass mock meats are incredible and 'kebabs' are delicious. The owners are super nice and helpful. I found this place years ago and was delighted to see it's still just as delicious and wonderful as I remember. That's really special.

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 The vegan ‘meats’ were originally made using bananas, but they now use soy base or jackfruit.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).

Great vegan food here. Love the soup noodles and the pad Thai, and spring rolls. Will definitely be coming back more often.

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.

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.
