    I would love to give more than stars if possible.They were soooo nice & attentive service.Salad+ tofu appetizer and a little dessert are included in your entree. So delicious!All vegetarian options. So tasty, you don’t miss the “real” meat.Only negative: street parking that isn’t the easiest to get sometimes.

    I’ve been traveling through the US for five weeks now and this has BY FAR been the best restaurant I’ve eaten at.It already starts with complimentary salad, lots of water and a huge variety of vegetarian option. The food was amazing, portions were big and the overall quality was great. The Tofu here is just a blessing!The complementary (and very delicious) ice cream rounded-off things perfectly. I would / recommend this restaurant to absolutely everyone. Don’t forget to bring your tip money - they sure deserve it!Vegetarian options: A ton!! You won’t be disappointed!

    Dao Fu is such a gem! Their lobster ramen is incredible—rich, flavorful, and totally worth it. The tofu here is hands-down the best around—fresh, silky, and made in-house. The cozy vibe makes it perfect for a chill night out. Even when it’s packed, the staff is super friendly and welcoming. You’ll love it!Vegetarian options: They have a large vegan menu with many mock meat options!
