Wonderful selection of vegetarian dishes. Great flavors and good portions. The proprietor is friendly and remembers if you have been there before. It's a tiny place, so you will want to order "takeout". Great find for vegetarians.
My best find since moving to California!: The food here is OUTSTANDING. I've been having trouble trying out different restaurants because I always think about going here.
San Jose's Best Kept Vegetarian Secret: Tofoo Com Chay is a whole-in-the-wall vegan deli. The floorplan might be tiny, but the food is making huge waves-- it was voted Best Vegetarian Overall in the Metro's Best of Silicon Valley 2005. The food is delicious, affordable, and unique-- many of the tofu items offered (and there are a lot to choose from) are elaborate recreations of traditional meat dishes. Their "drumsticks" are amazing-- the texture and taste of a chicken drumstick is sublimely reimagined in tofu form. Their "sesame chicken" is also a winner. Three dishes are offered as part of a five dollar rice plate, or one can choose from a variety of vietnamese sandwiches utilizing the tofu dishes.
They also offer pho, snacks, salads, and dessert. Santa Clara St. has a burgeouning asian vegetarian scene, but none of the other places make food this creative and tasty. Even people who wouldn't normally eat tofu might want to check out Tofoo Com Chay-- it's that good.
