Chico Zen: Warm tofu a must, seppuns, mix drinks excellent, shiso garlic rice, fish collard specials. Private rooms are fun if you need them.
Vic Zaud: Everything is great, but in particular, the house made (hourly) fresh tofu, and the fried chicken (which comes with tofu).
Alice Ferris: Try the House Made Cold Tofu - Custardy tofu with house sauce and salt (via @Foodspotting)

John L: Queues to rival Disneyland form by 7, come early. Seafood pancake is excellent, as well as bulgogi and the tofu stews. Generally exquisite Korean fare.

Nish: So authentic, you're required to take off your shoes and sit in sunken chairs. The tofu stone bowl, fritters and Black Forest cake are all amazing! Try a soju cocktail too!
Sakib Dadi: Great vegetarian food. Get the tofu pizza!
Rebecca Atwood: Even meat lovers swoon for Hangawei. It's vegetarian Korean food in the coziest setting imaginable. Get leek pancakes, the spicy tofu dish with the kimchi, and the broccoli with garlic.

Oz Lubling: One of the best lunch places in the LES. I highly recommend any of the poke bowls. My new favs are the tofu and the octopus. Also get half quinoa half greens as the base. Great combo.
Hannah Parvaz: Huge, delicious poke bowls. Awesome vegetarian and vegan options - the sauce on the tofu was out of this world. Get with quinoa.
Mitchell Wulfman: This the the best poke in the city. Large portions. Better than Chikarashi for half the price. I'm vegetarian so I love the tofu bowl

Ben Watkins: Fav Philly restaurant hits NYC. Spicy fish tofu stew is the bomb. Get three pepper (anything) for crispy, spicy noms. Any of the noodle appetizers are yummy as well
Heena: Spicy cucumber, cold noodles with chili oil and cumin style tofu were favorites! Tofu hot sauce style great. Tofu garlic sauce style good also if you want less spicy. Non-veg:heard cumin lamb is great
Noah Weiss: Some of the best spicy Chinese in NY. Standouts: dan dan noodles, spicy chicken wings, cumin lamb and chicken, Ma po tofu.
Pooja: Try the tofu skin wraps, seitan skewers, and smoked teriyaki seitan. If you still need more to fill you, the brownie dessert is great!
Sujay Shah: Mango soy protein and tofu skin wraps are awesome. Also, don't miss the peanut butter bomb.
Ali Rose: Hands down one of the top veg places in the city. Get the steamed veg dumplings, tofu teriyaki, or yaki soba. And love their wild ginger ale!
