    For the Vegan foodies this is a delightful smorgasbord of tasteful and complimentary dishes. Serving size ideal for a snack or hearty meal. Incredibly fresh with a balance of fresh veggies, tasteful Asian style accompaniments and almost carb free! Super sauces and flavors to make it just the flavor you are looking for. Nice outdoor seating and wonderful service - loved this bright and delectable vegan experience:)

    I work nearby so I would often frequent Tofulicious for lunch. I couldn't fault any dish. So much love and care goes into selecting the right ingredients that would just go well together. When planning our own wedding (we hosted our wedding in a private residence), although unconventional, I thought of having Tofulicious cater part of our buffet menu. We had a lot of compliments from our guest and most had seconds. To me, supporting local businesses is what we wanted from the beginning and we feel truly grateful for Shyamal, his wife and the entire team for catering our special day! If you are looking to have an event catered by Tofulicious, leave it to Shyamal to cook up something seasonal and full of flavours. You won't regret it! Lots of love, Marie and Mark

    Ignore the large range of delicious offerings, what we're really here for is the tofu and it's fantastic. The tofu firmness is generally in between the store bought silken and momen densities, making it my go-to for miso soup or pretty much any tofu dish which doesn't require a solid block. The flavour is much richer and nuttier compared with the standard packet stuff and gives any dish much more backbone than the watery offerings at the supermarkets. My only complaint is the opening hours make it hard for me to visit. Update: under new ownership, they now use a Chinese made tofu out of a packet.

    I eat meat and hate tofu, ran into this place because I was starving (not realising it was vegetarian) and the closest place between one meeting and the next. decided to give it a go and it was bloody amazing.

    I was here for lunch. You can choose the size of the bowls and then pick whatever you want Some items were really delicious and well flavoured. Others had cilantro in them without saying so. I unfortunately could not eat them. Outdoor seating available also inside. Inside are some high tables. The lady serving the dishes seemed rather annoyed and not friendly

    No longer a Melbournite, it was such a lovely surprise to see this iconic vegetarian restaurant still open, especially after Covid. The vibe is still the same, the food is soooooo good. There’s nothing like it anywhere. Such yummy, unique flavours.

    Food is great but $17 for a small takeaway box (see the sec pic to see how small is the box) is on the pricy side. Still hungry after this small lunch.

  • 5/5 Kenneth D. 5 years ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Food were superb, especially liked the fried tofu with eggplant! Service was excellent and fast. Really liked the selection of tofu ice cream, give miso malt a try and be rewarded with a nice salted caramel like flavor! Will be coming back.

    I was so excited to visit after so long (approximately 3 years) and was not disappointed by the food, it still tastes absolutely delicious! The largest takeaway bowl was small for $18 and I remember how a few years back they would cram so much into those containers. This time the container didn’t look as full and I was still hungry. I can understand inflation but it would be nice to have the same amount of food and spend a few dollars more, instead of spend more and get less.

    Large plate $28.00 really? It's all plants! The 2 female staff come across as miserable especially the younger one. She appears annoyed your there! Moist likely won't be back after 20 years plus of enjoying it!

  • 5/5 Nikki H. 2 years ago on Google
    I had lunch there today- mixed takeaway bowl. Delicious! Tom yum tofu, chickpea curry, sweet potato curry… sooo good!

  • 4/5 Gemma G. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s good quality food. But $17 for a very small portion means it can’t be a regular for those wanting healthy food.

  • 5/5 amanda B. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious, always changing vegetarian menu, plus tofu. Great variety, you always get half a dozen different flavours, hot and salads. Isn't cheap, but it is very good value

  • 3/5 Sharon N. 2 years ago on Google
    $13 for this tiny box of broccoli. Love their spring rolls but I won’t buy this again. Definitely felt ripped off!

  • 4/5 Donald P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Food and Value when able to dine in pre covid Due to covid they are now only doing takeaway but think $17 is steep for the size of the takeaway container leaving me hungry when finished

  • 5/5 Kate W. 5 years ago on Google
    Food was really good. Nice to try a lot of options. Really hit the spot.

  • 5/5 Sophie H. 3 years ago on Google
    Flavour combinations are amazing! The lunch bowl is a combination of different proteins and rice. Also service is always very friendly :-)

  • 3/5 Tina 2 years ago on Google
    Great tofu and healthy food. We had small bowls $15 per bowl. A little bit pricy

    Through my few admissions at the Epworth in Richmond. Originally after my bicycle versus MVA in June 2015 then also after my post micturition faint, collapse and ? Head injury while holidaying on Hamilton Island and then being supported by TAC and flown back to Melbourne and re-admitted at the Epworth in Richmond. I developed a habit of walking over Bridge Rd via the Pedestrian Crossing and enjoying a Tofu Meal special for lunch. Then unfortunately my darling wife was being given the run around despite having presented to A&E twice before.So with my connection to the Epworth in Richmond on the third occasion that Jilly felt something was seriously wrong she presented to the Epworth A& E and she was seen by a consultant who had been involved in my care and he took her concerns seriously. She was admitted , had a cerebral MRI the next day and he arranged a trans cranial biopsy of the brain lesion that sadly confirmed sha had a primary brain tumour which she lived with pretty well with treatment for 2&1/2 years but sadly she passed at home in early August 2020 well cared for by the Melbourne City Mission.
