Oh what a cool menu! We mainly looked at the box sets. They have two options on box sets for "sides". Option A has broc, crispy mushrooms on cauliflower, rice and sweet potato fries. For 75 cents more, Option B swaps out those fries for 2 soy nuggets and a mini mushroom skewer. Hands down pay the 75 cents and get Option B! We got the crispy tofu box and the drunken seitan box. Also an order of avocado summer rolls and loaded fries (crinkle cut, veggie bacon, minced bell peppers, garlic and onion). The crispy tofu was good- large chunks of tofu- crispy outside with soft inside and a slightly sweet dipping sauce. The drunken seitan was a homerun! Crispy chunks of seitan lightly tossed in a flavorful sauce that had us wanting more. The fries were cooked perfectly and the flavors of the minced toppings allowed for a nice pop as we chowed down. The avocado rolls were gigantic and the dipping sauce that came with these was so good we dipped everything in it. Now these sides- broc was steamed with a nice sesame oil kick, the skewers would easily fool you- they didnt look like mushrooms and the cumin seasoning was a nice touch. The crispy mushrooms could star on their own by the plate full. Our rice was purple and had a nice nutty flavor- would prefer white rice and may ask for that next time. Lovely staff and food comes out fairly quickly. Loved the box concept as we got a nice variety of things to try! We cant wait to go back as this is now near the top of some of our favorite vegetarian spots in the city. read more

Came here on someone's recommendation. Got the crunchy tofu in Szechuan sauce and the Singaporean noodles. Everything was served on disposable platters. No bathrooms on premise. The staff were very very friendly and the food tasted very flavorful. Cute little find in Brooklyn. read more

Tofubox - Vegetarian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Literally a hidden gem! A friend suggested it one day and I was hesitant as I am not usually a fan of vegetarian restaurants. Boy was I in for a surprise! First time coming I got the Braised Tofu Lunch Special which was amazing and remains my favorite. I am also obsessed with the Wontons in Chili oil which was recommended by one of the female workers. I plan to try other dishes as everything always looks so good! The workers are all so friendly and helpful! The space has a few seats inside, but I do not believe there is a restroom. read more

i adore this spot - the portions are huge, the pricing is reasonable, and the food is delicious. the crispy tofu in szechuan sauce is delightfully crispy outside but creamy inside, with a little bit of mala (numbing tingly spice). and the "clams" (mushrooms) are packed with flavor. it's unpretentious inside (probably 5-6 tablespoons) and the staff were super helpful when i asked them what they recommended. i think this is going to be a local favorite for me. read more

Tofubox has always been a staple of mine. Vegan and a well balanced meal for anyone who wants a taste of Chinese food. This place offers crispy tofu, spicy tofu, braised tofu, and any sorts of tofu imaginable hence its name, Tofubox. The ambience is very quiet with a couple of tables and retro chairs. There's a rail on your way up to the counter and ordering is pretty simple. They have lunch box sets where you can choose which tofu and rice you want. They have purple or brown rice for you to choose, which is very healthy. I usually get the crispy tofu lunch box set with purple rice. This set includes sweet potatoe fries, purple rice, crispy tofu, broccoli, and seitan! So healthy! I love the purple rice a lot and how it's cooked! Not too dry or wet. The tofu is crispy and skin is always separating. Fries are kind of on the soft side. Wish it was harder! Broccoli is steamed so it's very healthy! Overall, a good healthy option for anyone who is trying to maintain their health and weight. read more

Great place for takeout! I love this no frills vegetarian place. Pricing is reasonable and everything is flavored well. We love the stir fried chow fun and drunken seitan with a side of shiitake with salt and pepper. The lunch specials come with a drink. read more

Out and about in Williamsburg before hitting Haven, my friend and I decided to fuel up on some vegetarian dim sum. Tofubox is geared towards takeout/delivery, with just a couple small tables inside. The menu is pretty expansive, covering meatless versions of typical dim sum staples. We snagged an order of sweet potato spring rolls, mock beef summer rolls, and a steamed dumpling combo. This turned out to be considerably more food than we expected, but made for good leftovers. The spring rolls were piping hot and crisp, filled with a a springy filling not unlike mochi and covered with shredded coconut. The summer rolls were fresh, but packed too loosely, leading the rolls to fall apart. The dumplings had a tasty, savoury hit with fillings of veggies (bok choi + shitake), tofu, and egg & tomato. Worth a repeat visit read more

Opted for the double-cooked pork this time, and it offered a stunning impersonation of the original, with an assertive medium-spice sauce. Tofubox isn't content to get by with Nice Try Vegan Chicken Nuggets. Exploring vegetarian spots for curiosity rather than necessity, I've often encountered situations where, say, a jackfruit sandwich is just fine, but I'm still full after spending $20. Tofubox, however, offers a surprisingly good value proposition. If you're reading this review you're not a regular yet and thus should start out with a box set, preferably Box Set B. read more

We ordered delivery from here. I was in the mood for vegetarian food. Chinese vegetarian food has always been surprisingly good with amazing places like Buddha Bodhai and Spicy Moon. Spicy moon is my absolute favorite. The menu was extensive so it was hard to figure out what to order. I got the fried vegetarian dumplings. They were ok. I prefer more chives in my dumplings than what they put in theirs. We split the Mapo Tofu which was delicious. We also got the crispy tofu box which came with an eclectic array of side dishes including crispy fried tofu with a sweet shell, broccoli, cauliflower, rice, fried "chicken nuggets" and different types of mushrooms. I really liked the variety. I probably wouldn't come out of my way to eat here but it would remain a good option if I was in the neighborhood or am within deliverable distance. While I would definitely go out of my way to go to Spicy Moon. read more

My favorite place in the neighborhood to get vegetarian food! Super tasty, affordable, huge portions, friendly service....I mean, there is nothing missing from this experience. I highly recommend the kung pao chicken bento box. As a meat eater, I did not miss the meat. read more

Tofubox is SO GOOD. I have to limit myself from ordering too often. My favourites so far are the salted veggie fish eggplant and double cooked veggie pork read more

Some of the best seitan I have ever had. I was also excited to see vegan soup dumplings because I wasn't sure if I'd ever get to try them. They were delicious. The mochi dumplings were also awesome - hot and light and flavorful. The service was very good and food was excellent. No notes. Everything was delicious and perfect. The iced tea was also enjoyable. This was an unplanned stop - just looking for something near Metropolitan Station and this was perfect. 10 out of 10, would recommend. read more

Delicious generously portioned flavorful meals. We ordered a lunch special of the braised tofu which came with salad and your choice of dressing, a drink of your choice of sweetened or unsweetened ice tea, tofu, mixed vegetables, and purple rice. We also ordered General Tso's tofu (set A) which included sweet potato fries, purple rice, tofu, broccoli, cauliflower, and tempura mushrooms. Our food came out quickly and everything was well seasoned. We received extremely friendly and kind service. There are a few tables for indoor eating. We plan on going back to try other dishes. read more

Tofubox is now in my regular, I don't feel like cooking today but I want something healthy to eat for delivery option. My go-to favorite order is the braised tofu box, which didn't come with purple rice the first time I ordered, but the brown rice was excellent. The tofu is very well seasoned and I also enjoy the red bean buns. Also, I don't know what magic is in those nuggets, but I could eat those all day everyday lol. read more

This is a super unassuming place in Williamsburg and it surprisingly has a small indoor seating area. Everything is super informal here - everything is served in disposable plastic containers and the waitress serves both the tables and the take out counter. Everything is almost vegan (including the noodles and "meat"). It had a great MaLa flavor and I liked everything we had. Pretty cheap overall too for the portions. Sweet Potato Spring Rolls ($6.50) - comes with 4 pieces. Honestly looked unappetizing when it came, but was actually great. Outside is perfectly crispy and the sweet potato on the inside was soft. Best eaten warm though, the texture is off when it cools down Double cooked pork slices ($13.50), crispy tofu box ($14.50) - these honestly tasted the same but with different proteins. The crispy tofu was so good, very flavorful and crisp. Buddha's Delight ($13.50) - this was your standard pan fried noodles. The flavor was good. read more

Yummy food, well spiced, many options, consistent quality over time. Really appreciate the service and food - wish it was closer to my home!

Excellent takeout option in Williamsburg! I love the vegetarian-friendly variation on the bento box theme, and all of the many varieties of tofu and seitan I've tried here have been delicious. My favorite was the tofu puff - so soft that it melts in your mouth! Plus it's served with my favorite mushroom, "mu-er" (wood ear). Although if you feel like a guilty pleasure on a given evening, the cherry-red General Tso's tofu is your move. Drunken seitan is also perfectly crispy and a repeat order. read more

I too am Chinese and love eating animal protein, but you'll want to set your prejudices aside for Tofubox because they are making delicious, healthy Chinese dishes. I liked the mapo tofu and Buddha's delight. Great service too! read more

The added benefit of dating someone who's addicted to DoorDash is that I get to sample restaurants in many neighborhoods I would otherwise have trouble traveling to. By far the best outcome of this situation is when I came home to my sweetie and her biffles eating Tofubox. They don't eat much at a time cause they're dainty so that means I come in for the delicious rescue. Her friend got the Gen Tso's Tofu, which yeah it's the best replica of general tso's chicken as you can get with tofu. That's my favorite dish in normal takeout, and this tastes leagues ahead of bad general tso's. Trust me, I'm from the Bronx, so I know where the good hood spots are. But what really takes the vegetarian cake is the Spicy Braised Tofu. I legitimately thought this was pork. Not the lean parts of the pork but the fatty gelatinous tendon parts. I know it's not pork and I'm still not convinced. I would very easily make the switch to tofu if this becomes a thing and I'm convinced a lot of other people would too, if they gave this a try. I'm gonna end this review with one of my favorite slogans-- Penguins Over People! read more

I was super excited to come here for a quick lunch because of the rave reviews. Maybe I didn't order the right thing, but I am disappointed. I got the Box A spicy ssamjang with braised tofu and what I got was just a box of sautéed vegetables and flavorless soft tofu. No sauce, no nothing. As you can see from the picture, where is the ssamjang? Where is that glorious thick sauce? The tofu was barely coated in anything, so nothing had much flavor. While the food wasn't bad, it wasn't worth the trip or money. The rest of the menu looked good though, and judging by other reviews maybe I came on an off day. Who knows. read more

*About the food* I would definitely recommend the mapo tofu and the stir-fried noodles. The mapo tofu has a firm bouncy texture and the sauce has a nice spicy kick to it. The stir-fried noodles are also very good. Well cooked and a variety of veggies in the dish. The flavors here are phenomenal. They are a vegetarian restaurant and the meat substitutes they use are great. *About the service* Very kind server. We had a group of 9 people and she was very attentive and was spot on with her recommendations. She was also not afraid to recommend certain things on the menu over others. We really appreciate servers that are honest. Overall - very nice experience, really glad its in the neighborhood read more

Incredible. Great food and great value -- never had a bad experience here. Would recommend the sichuan beef but everything I've tried on the menu has been fantastic read more

Note: delivery only; never dined in. Chinese style, vegetarian, comfort food. That shall sum it up :) Ordered from here twice via UberEats and both were good. I especially like their Salted veggie-fish Eggplant pot (c7) and Hot & Spicy Shiitake Stir Fry (c24). Authentic flavors and generous portion (I was too hungry to dutifully take a picture ha :P ). Sichuan peppercorn hit the spot! It reminds me of Buddha Bodai in Chinatown, which I had been ordering from when living in FiDi. I was sad when I first moved to BK where non-americanized Chinese food was hard to come by. With Tofu Box, not anymore :) Is it healthy? Well, depends. But once in a while when I am craving for Chinese food and too lazy to track to Manhattan, I will keep Tofu Box on my speed dial. read more

This place is AMAZING. Beyond any other vegan asian cuisine I've had. I just wish their menu was more clear about what was vegan and such. read more

Had the pleasure of wandering into Tofubox tonight when craving some classic beef and broccoli or other dim sum type cuisine. I was intrigued by Tofubox having a 5.0 rating and over 100 reviews -- although I am a self-proclaimed huge chicken and protein fan, I was EXTREMELY impressed by how filling and generously-portioned the meals were! We ordered box B8 (broccoli, rice, mixed veggies, tofu), spicy tofu dim sum (6 large tofu dumplings in a hot chili oil soup sauce), the sesame tofu (comes with broccoli and delicious purple rice), and an iced tea. Came out to $42 including tax -- and got an iced tea on the house as they wanted us to try it. The female employee was delightful and the food came FAST. Great, friendly service and the food was FILLING without being too heavy. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

This place is so Effin delicious. Hole in the wall with the most insane Szechuan tofu. Can't really help you with any other dishes, because I've been eating this nonstop since discovering it and haven't really strayed. I've also tried the green onion pancake (the best I've ever had), even as delivery/takeout. Incredibly crisp after the trip. My least favorite though on my bout of an overeating dinner was the chili oil wontons. Overall, good but it's pooled in more of a soup than an oil. Much prefer the oil. Great pricepoint for what you get, they're also super fast. Get the purple rice to accompany too, you'll thank me later read more

We came here around 3pm for a late lunch and it was a comfortable quiet environment. Staff was super friendly and food was delicious and fresh made! We got the mapo tofu, chili oil wontons, and soup dumplings. Mapo tofu and chili oil wontons were our favorites. read more

So disappointing--I really liked certain dishes at this place. The Singapore noodles and the tofu boxes are superb. But I wanted to get a "healthier" dish tonight and ordered the spicy pot tofu/veggies through Seamless and it was inedible. Attached a pic of what they showed (top photo) vs what the dish came as. The entire dish is bright red oil from top to bottom, all the tofu and veggies are soggy from it. Called Seamless and they called Tofubox who refused to refund this dish. So they don't take customer feedback and just lost a customer. I don't think anyone finds a pot of oil appetizing. read more

I'm really glad I finally checked out this place after living down the street from it since it opened a few years ago! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the Lunch special meal (Drunken Seitan) I got was very reasonably priced and delicious! The seitan, bok choy (i asked for it instead of the broccoli), and purple rice are really amazing. I didn't care much for the salad part but I feel that way about most Lunch special side salads. Will definitely be back to check out other dishes! read more

yummy food and good service!!! definitely try them out. i think most people order takeout though because the interior is more casual

#The guy at the register asked if it was my first time here when he was giving me my food. I said yeah. Then he proceeded to tell me that the food is "healthy!" He was #proud of that. I don't know how this could be healthy. It tasted so sweet. I got the #General Tso's box, which I guess does have sweet sauce. But almost everything else was also sweet. Sugary. The #salad had little bits of candied tofu. I think it was tofu. But it was like eating lettuce with candy in it. Maybe he was thinking because it's #vegetarian, it's healthy. But I don't think this is. read more

Tofubox, I am so happy you are here and near! And deliver to my house. Which isn't common in my part of BK. Food is AWESOME. Only thing I have to say and say very sadly that I'm disappointed in, is the soup dumplings. There was little to no soup in them. Please please add soup to them!! Thank you. read more

Yeah the decor inside is just not great. But pandemic times is hopefully the reason. The food is non animal and prettt delicious! And they're super nice.
