Tofu Vegan Islington

Proper Korean vegan cooking on Upper Street that doesn't feel like a compromise. Flavour-first, meat-free.

You'll walk into Upper Street and find yourself in a bright, unfussy dining room where the smell of gochujang and sesame oil hits you immediately. This is Korean food stripped back to its best—kimchi that actually ferments here, tofu dishes that taste like they're meant to, bibimbap that's genuine rather than virtuous. The cooking is confident enough that you won't miss what isn't there, and the prices won't have you questioning your choices either. It's become properly busy for a reason.
