Tofu- Despite it's name does not just serve Tofu.
Tofu is one of the new kids on the block in the Crystal Palace Triangle. There are lots of yummy places to eat in CP so this 'East Asian Canteen' which appeared to have a bit of an identify crisis didn't tempt me in right away. However in the window I spotted they had Ma Po Tofu which I love but rarely see on the menus.
The Menu is an eclectic mix. Edemame beans, prawn crackers, Kimchee and chinese pickles all the sides to Ramen, Japanese Curry, Dim Sum and Chow Meins. Very rarely do you come across such a broad mix of Chinese and Japanese cuisines in one restaurant.
I had my Ma Po Tofu (Spicy black bean sauce with sliky Tofu and boiled rice - Lush) and the Mrs had the Japanese (Katsu like) curry with about a million breaded and battered butterfly prawns.
Portions were REALLY generous and good value. It's Bring your own bottle with a £3 corkage charge per bottle - so do pop along to the Sainsburys across the road before you visit. There's a limited choice otherwise but both green and jasmine tea are available.
Service is a little slow I think primarily with the amount of Deliveroo deliveries they have coming through the front door, but overall a good spot.
Overall it's a small but surprising spot with some seriously tasty food. :) read more
