DAO Fu

I would love to give more than 5 stars if possible. They were soooo nice & attentive service. Salad+ tofu appetizer and a little dessert are included in your entree. So delicious! All vegetarian options. So tasty, you don’t miss the “real” meat. Only negative: street parking that isn’t the easiest to get sometimes.

I’ve been traveling through the US for five weeks now and this has BY FAR been the best restaurant I’ve eaten at. It already starts with complimentary salad, lots of water and a huge variety of vegetarian option. The food was amazing, portions were big and the overall quality was great. The Tofu here is just a blessing! The complementary (and very delicious) ice cream rounded-off things perfectly. I would 10/10 recommend this restaurant to absolutely everyone. Don’t forget to bring your tip money - they sure deserve it!

Dao Fu is such a gem! Their lobster ramen is incredible—rich, flavorful, and totally worth it. The tofu here is hands-down the best around—fresh, silky, and made in-house. The cozy vibe makes it perfect for a chill night out. Even when it’s packed, the staff is super friendly and welcoming. You’ll love it!

Have loved everything we’ve gotten here. The service is so so great and the best part is the complimentary tofu salad and the complimentary ice cream Also a ton of great vegan options

One of those spots you know all the food is gonna be good. So tasty! Their house sauce is SO good. Went with eating inside bc you get complimentary salad w/ tofu and ice cream. Had a shrimp salad roll & Eric stir fry.

Best restaurant I’ve eaten at in my entire trip. I ordered the lobster tail tonkatsu ramen. It tasted amazing and I especially like the fried lobster tail in the ramen. The Thai tea was also pretty good, it was noticeably fresher and I like the texture of the boba. For desert I had green tea ice cream which tasted great, was very well presented, and free. I also liked how the restaurant was decorated well throughout along with the soft lighting. My waiter, Maggie, was extremely friendly, attentive, and pleasant. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for Asian food in San Diego!

One of the best hidden gem places to eat in San Diego. Every dish is amazing, full of flavor and fresh ingredients. It is a small family owned business with great service and incredible prices. Do not skip the Vietnamese coffee and Thai tea!

Came in for lunch in Normal Heights. Service was friendly and gives a complimentary salad and tofu. Got the Hainan family special which made for a nice veggies and chicken stir fry. Many dishes are served in hot metal pots which keeps the food warm and can give a little bit of texture to the rice at the bottom sometimes. Good place for vegetarian or mixed groups, one side of the menu is basically all veggie dishes.
