Daofu Restaurant Inc

I could only eat this food for the rest of my life and die happy. One of my favorite restaurants on Adams avenue, by far. They have an entire vegan menu which is usually what my partner and I order off of. We've never gotten anything from Dao fu that we didn't like. I highly HIGHLY recommend the vegan orange chicken. I randomly crave it constantly because it's just so good. They also make their own tofu and it's heavenly, they will provide you with a complimentary appetizer of it as well as complimentary ice cream at the end. Dare I say more? Free tofu, free ice cream, the most delectable food you've ever tasted and friendly staff. That's all you need to know.

Dao Fu has really good food and service. I enjoyed the complimentary tofu salad to start. The dishes can be made on the spice level 1-10 and I hear that 10 is pretty hot so I stick to 6 or 7. Definitely try the drunken noodle pr the katsu chicken. The prices are also very reasonable and there are many vegetarian options.

DAO fu is a hidden gem that combines delicious ramen, great prices, and a delightful sense of humor. The flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and tender meat create a culinary masterpiece. The affordable prices make it even more enjoyable. The waiter's fantastic sense of humor adds an extra touch of fun to the dining experience. To top it all off, they offer complimentary ice cream that sweetens the deal. DAO fu is a must-visit for ramen lovers seeking a delightful and affordable meal with a side of laughter.

Hands down my favorite noodle spot in San Diego, I want to gatekeep it so it can stay my little secret. 😂 But the staff and the food is great and they deserve all the business. Definitely the local spot I bring visitors and order the tofu pad Thai all the time. Super low prices on food & drinks, and they always bring you a complimentary tofu salad to start and scoop of ice cream to finish. The worst thing about this place is the parking, and that's just because it's in a popular area, not the restaurants fault!

Probably the best food for the money in the neighborhood. I've been dining here for over a decade. I'm not a vegetarian. The food has always been great. The owner Eric the Hot Chef still runs the kitchen and the quality shows. Try anything with the house tofu. Try the classics: stuffed tofu eggplant and peppers; the chicken (or "chicken") rice pot; pineapple curry. Or try the new dishes like the Japanese curry. The free salad to start and ice cream to finish always make the experience feel complete and satisfying. I've brought dozens of people here for lunch and dinner over the years (both vegetarians and non-vegetarians) and all have loved it.

Free salad and ice cream (both flavors) very tasty. Also our group really liked the Vietnamese crepe appetizer. Rest of our food was good but nothing to write home about. Had katsu ramen (broth tasty, noodles a tad overcooked), sukiyaki (lacking flavor), katsu curry (breading could be spiced more, but impressed by how crispy it stayed) and pad Thai (thought curry was one dimensional). Spice levels of 6/10 & 7/10 had some heat but not super hot. Service was good and relatively fast.

This restaurant is certainly a hidden gem and a lot easy on your pocket. The urban doodle-ly decor is really something. We ordered a Katuse Ramen, Wanton Soup Bowl and Tantanmen Soup Bowl - and I must say we all were impressed. The host suggested us Yuki Nigori Sake and I promise you that combination really blew our mind. As for the food we loved veggie tempura so much that we ordered another plate for the table. Unlike other restaurants the tempura batter was mixed with subtle spices and it added flavor to the tempura. Katsue Ramen was off the charts - the perfect dashi, great noodles and perfectly crisp chicken. The crispness gave away the perfect support to rich broth. Do keep some space for the complimentary ice-cream, you will thank me later.

This restaurant came highly recommended from a friend who only eats gluten-free and vegan food. This is a family owned restaurant and referred as a mom and pop shop. All their food is made in house and with fresh ingredients. They have freebies for starters and dessert. That was a surprise to me and ever so grateful 🙏 for enjoying it with gratitude. I couldn't decide between a dish or soup. I decided on a dish and did not regret. Their dumplings and spring rolls was absolutely finger licking good. 😋 They're quick and service is service. They get pretty busy and stay busy. Parking is hard to find so be prepared to walk to the restaurant. We will definitely return the next time we are in San Diego. Thank you for the pleasant experience. Great tasting food for sure. Happy eating 😋

Ate here for the first time. Tantanmen did not have the expected sesame sauce but it was like a fine ramen with a very edible soup, far from being salt/msg ridden stock you get from many Asian restaurants. 5 Spice Noodles was very aromatic. Mi Xao Tofu had thick noodles with a delicious sauce. We left the place happy, and with leftovers. Service was great. You might have to look for parking a bit if you drive here. I would say this is a very good vegetarian-friendly restaurant.
