The environment and the food are amazing. The dumplings and sushi are amazing. The service was great. Would recommend coming here.
The best food!!The fried dumplings are fabulous😃Been eatting there for years.
Excellent food and they deliver of course you can also do take out or eat in. Their Sushi is delicious and if youre not so adventurous they also have sushi made with cooked fish also their Asian Cuisine other than Sushi is also delicious. Feel free to opt out of some recipes in example if theres a sushi you like but do not like caviar you can ask them to exclude the cab theyre very accommodating.
The food was good but every order was incorrect. Every single one in our party of 4. The service was mediocre. I got my appetizer first. It was cold by the time the next 2 came out. We were all done and still had to ask for the 4th appetizer before they brought it out. It made for a disappointing evening out.
I tried takeout a few times recently the Beef Negamaki and boneless ribs were so tough to chew that my jaw was tired for hours. I realize jerky has a great shelf life but come on now!
My favorite place to get sushi 🍣Ive been here 100s of times over the years & havent had one single complaint Hot food or sushi Everything always fresh and delicious. There dining room has just been renovated too. ☆☆☆☆☆
Almost as good as the original sesame chicken. Very good.
This is my second time here. Its a bit out of the way for us, but well worth it. Or food was good and service was timely. Will go back soon.
I have been to many... many different sushi/ Japanese restaurants. This place has the best food, the best service and a quiet environment. The owners focused more on their menu, taste and service than on their buildings interior. You wont find fancy flashing neon lights or giants bubble machines or even a indoor pond.. and you will love it. Thank you tofu we are loyal customers.
WOW, I passed this hidden gem for many years and never went in. What a mistake, this place rocks, now we go here all the time, try it once and you will be hooked.
I thought the food was really good and definitely would recommend. My only beef was with the service, yes I understand it was Chinese New Year, but I was originally charged for a beer and wonton soup I never received. I informed the staff and they promptly made the correction. Moral of the story is check the check to make sure you werent charged for something you did not order. Otherwise I would recommend this place.
We live nearby. I have been in the area more than 15 years and for some reason we never go here. We did last weekend fir some sushi and Chinese. We were quite surprised and happy with the food. Thank you! We will be back
Super comfy atmosphere and hands down best Chinese food spot around. After many years of passing by we finally decided to try it and we loved it so much that it’s officially our new spot for fresh Chinese food. I have heard many good things about the sushi and we’ll definitely be trying next time.
This restaurant is my favored. I go to a lot of restaurants but to this one I constantly return again and again. The crew is very warm and the food they place on your table is so yummy. I never miss an opportunity to have a decent meal in this restaurant. Highly recommended.
Foods pretty good, some of the staff cant speak much english and tonight for the 1st time they messed up my dinner. My husband ordered the shredded beef and green beans it was delicious but 3/4 green beans to 1/4 beef. So not so happy this time. And when the waitress brought my plate back she had an attitude like it was me at fault.
Food is actually quite good. A little oh the pricey side for their sushi but its good if you want something quick. Inside of the restaurant is pretty nice. Def would like to try and eat inside one of these days.
Food was decent but service was horrible. Its clear that they try to save every dime they can. It was Saturday night and packed but they only had one waitress. She hardly ever came over to see if we needed anything. Anytime we asked her for anything she was in a rush to shut us up and leave. She was rude. My boyfriend and myself both ordered meals that come with white or brown rice. We asked if we can switch that to fried rice for an upcharge and she said no, she told us we cant change it and that the only way to get fried rice is to order the family size order. So we ordered a family size order of fried rice. At the end when we are ready to leave, we realize we never even got the rice that came with the meal. She said she would go get it for us if we wanted but that it was free anyway. We wanted to order dessert and were told the only dessert they have is fried ice cream. So we order it but a few minutes later she comes back and says they are all out. We order coffee and get informed that they dont serve coffee. Oh and lets not forget that they have their young children cleaning the tables and acting as bus boys. At the end they give each table a cup of a slice orange...we got ours and we literally got half an orange to split between the two of us. While we were eating my partner ordered a second beer and it never came. He reminded the waitress and when she came back she had forgotten so we told her to forget it because we were ready to go. We waited forever for her, she never came over, and when she did she was rude and rushed. We had a poor experience. When it was time to pay, my boyfriend handed her a $20 bill and asked her to get him change. He had two singles on him and left them on the table until he got more cash from the change of the $20. He goes up to the counter to pay our bill with his card in the meantime and the waitress goes to the table, sees the 2 dollars, and runs up to him like a psycho asking why he is only leaving her 2 dollars and asking if hes putting the rest of her tip on the card. He told her that he was waiting for the change of the 20 dollar bill to give her more, but then he told her the service was horrible anyway. He took back the 2 dollars and gave her a $5 and trust me, that was being generous. Service was horrible and she didnt deserve a tip. We spent the majority of our time there looking around saying WTF. I will never return there again.
Went today and the food was incredible. Me and my boyfriend looked for a new place to try and this is going to be one of our go tos. It is a small little place with some nice decor. We ordered the vegetable roll, egg roll, veggie lo mein, veggie fried rice and fried banana for dessert. Everything was delicious and our waiter was very nice. In the end of the day we only paid $30 for all of it.
I had been going here for years for both take out and to dine in. But over the last several months this place has quickly gone downhill.Most recently I had an issue with a take out order which contained a small order of chicken fried rice. I had asked for a small order over the phone but they gave me a large. No big deal right?....WRONG! When I mentioned it to the man working the register he yelled at me...YES, HE YELLED AT ME!!! Loud enough to startle people who were sitting down eating. They obviously stopped eating and turned around in shock. He said that I did ask for a large order, and insisted I pay for it. Keep in mind we are talking about a difference of $2.50. Normally I would have just paid for it, but after being yelled at that wasnt going to happen. After he changed the price and charged me less, he took the bags from me and started walking to the back. When I asked him what he was doing, he yelled at me AGAIN. YOU PAID FOR A SMALL ORDER, SO YOURE ONLY GETTING A SMALL ORDER!!! Again people turned to look. He was going into the back to transfer my rice into a smaller container!!! For fear of what he was going to do to my food, i grabbed the bags back from him and gave him $2.50, and made it very clear that I would never visit this restaurant again. This guy clearly has anger issues. There was a look of crazy in his eyes.I eat out and get take out quite frequently, and have never experienced anything like this.And this is not the first time Ive had issues here lately. From clueless and obnoxious wait staff, to being charged extra for things like soup noodles, I have left this restaurant with a bad taste in my mouth on multiple occasions.STAY AWAY from this place. They do not deserve to be in business.
Just had dinner at Tofu in Farmingville with our family, the food was very good and the new remodeling was very nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant
Food was tasty. Sadly, thats the only good thing I can say about this place. The waiter was completely rude. There was no soap in the womens bathroom. There were 2 men at another table talking loudly on speakerphone for over 10 minutes and when we asked to speak with a manager, we were given attitude. We will not be returning here.
Food was excellent, plentiful and inexpensive
Love this place. I lived in Farmingville for a long time, and I think Tofu is an underrated gem. Prices are good, staff is attentive, food is delicious, and environment is cozy and clean. Highly recommend.
Ive been going to Tofu since 1991 never had a bad meal.The service is top notch.Food is the best.After eating here you will not want to go to any other Chinese/ Japanese restaurant.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I eat here literally 3-5 times a week and from what I understand it’s the high quality rice and seafood that makes this sushi sooooooo far above the rest, all the other dishes they serve are delicious also, down to the delicious spring rolls!! Can’t lose when u choose this spot!
COUNTER GIRL is VERY RUDE!!!!! OVERPRICED SMALL PORTIONS B.S!!!!
Very good sushi, and plenty of menu options if you dont want sushi! Not too many drink choices but it was fine, basic coke products beer and wine. Good food and good sized portions :)
Spent $60 on food and everything arrived cold with 3 different things missing. I called back and they didn’t believe me when I said food was missing. Very rude. Food sucked. Don’t eat here
Terrible food. Never again. Didnt honor their own coupon!
Excellent
Great atmosphere, good food
Not sure what was worse the service or the food. Nasty and rude Tofu has seriously declined..... Don’t waste ur money.
One star purely because of the woman’s attitude at the front counter. Sorry I didn’t know the number that was used to place the order because I personally didn’t order it. Her attitude sucks and if she doesn’t like working here, get a new job. She was Also mad because I asked for utensils. Fire her before she loses you more business. Today is Saturday 7/28, 7:45 pm and the woman was wearing a grey sweatshirt so you can identify her.
Enjoy eating in and take out from this place. When you eat in you always get great portions. Love the delivery food is always fresh and tasty.
My wife and I used to eat here all the time. It was convenient and the food was decent enough. However, because of an incident, we havent been back in over 15 years. Upon leaving the restaurant to get into my car, I felt like I stepped in something. Looking down it appeared that someone spilled a chocolate milk shake that I did not see. Only it wasnt a milk shake. Apparently their septic system was overflowing and I stepped in the mashed up poo of 1000 customers...needless to say by the third wiff I was loosing my dinner I just paid for...and a pair of new boat shoes.
I mean the food was good & all but this delivery guy had an attitude and complained about his tip. I also asked them to come to my door in the back of the house to avoid my landlord and of course didnt listen and went banging on my landlord door late at night... I stressed over the phone & he said yea ok over the phone and hung up on me then comes with the attitude ... Can you say anger issues ... Cannot follow simple directions .. Smh
Terrible customer service over the phone. Rude and Nasty attitude. I asked for the lunch special (which was still pretty expensive) it was 3:04 online on their website which has a link on google which states lunch is from 11:30a-3:30pm (screenshots attached)They declined and told me I was lying about the website. Well here you go.
The Japanese food was great. The Chinese dish not so good
I really enjoyed their food. I always get fantastic service here. The place is clean and the workers are always very friendly. Will come back again.
I just move to neighbor at this restaurant, I had been read review all the customer been there, some people said good and bad, I want give a try.I took my wife down there one more for dinner, we order sesame chicken and chicken trriyaki, It turn on food was Really delicious，but sevice wasnt great, it was just ok, girl running as crazy.I dont know why some people said was terrible, for myself opinions, this place worth to try.
I understand what the other reviews meant about the service. But its a patience thing. The food was Great!! As a die hard Sushi eater.I recommend to all!!
I know we got there at 8.14 pm and your closing time is 9 pm which does not mean that’s the first thing you tell us after we sit . Which also doesn’t give the server the right to keep staring at us so that we finish our meal in 30 mins exactly . Walked out and threw up not coz the food was bad but coz we had to eat so fast .
For 3 years in a row, they have increased prices. WAY MORE than normal inflation. For example, just this year hot and sour soup increased price from $4.40 to about $4.95. And the Crispy duck increase $2.25! All menu prices increased 10% - 25%.Chinese food, at least, the kind that Tofu serves is a common good. It isnt hard to find a chinese takeout. So theres no point to pay so much more for less.That brings me to my next point. They have been giving less and less food in the takeout containers. They charge more and more every year but always give less.The only good thing is that their quality and taste of food hasnt changed. If I order a hot and sour I get almost the same thing day to day unlike other takeout stores. But at this point I am willing to risk it elsewhere.Final personal story:Once in the summer we ordered a lao mein and it had a bug in it (looked like a beetle of some sort) we had a bit of it before finding it. So we promptly took it back because ... obviously bug in food. It wasnt on purpose probably since it wasnt a normal kitchen bug like a cockroach. So we simply asked for a refund. They management there asserted that we put the bug there to get a refund for our lao mein... Really? You really think that lowly of us that we need to put a bug into our own food to get refunds?
Always great food, and good prices. Spacious place, and fantastic selection of Japanese and Chinese food. Service is always friendly. A surprisingly good place to go in a somewhat sketch part of the island.
Great food, especially the shrimp and broccoli and dumplings. The egg rolls are crispy and not greasy. A family favorite.
Great food. Sushi is the best. try the sandwich sushi. to die for....
Food was ok, service was ok. Not worth the price in my opinion.
Absolutely terrible, I wish i could give 0 stars. Where to start? Perhaps with the undercooked wontons, or maybe the old chicken that was hard in my chicken teriyaki, Or perhaps it was my husbands order which was...you guessed it, also undercooked. The owner did offer to replace my order at no charge as this was take out but I wouldnt eat this food even if it was free.... which is what was offered. AVOID AT ALL COSTS IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH.
Apps were ok , dinner was great and the server was awesome
Fabulous beef chow fun. Cant find it on most menus any longer. Service was excellent as well. Nice people, good food, great service
We spent over $80.00 and some chicken was under cooked the spider roll was nasty and made my daughter sick. We will never go there again. And the manager gave no solutions Terrible.
I tried this spot already with my friend and I am addicted ever since. I loved the awesome atmosphere and yummy dishes and drinks. 5 stars from me.
Very nice place food was very good I just wish I didnt have to order a whole other meal to get fried rice as a side
Fantastic and fresh food, I love the atmosphere this place has, and the workers were helpful. Will surely come back in the future.
I ordered a sushi dish without any spicy sauce and after I tasted it was super spicy, the chef yelled at us telling us that it was not spicy, he was very rude instead of accommodating his customers, he rather yell at them. Rude.
They make the freshest Chinese food I’ve ever had. The food is amazing and their sushi is excellent!!! I highly recommend it.
Lunch was not as good as it usually is....very salty, cold food. Sad. They had great food at one time
Always loved this place and think they are handling covid situation very well. U pick up ur food outside.
Nice friendly staff, Fresh quality food reasonably priced. Very large menu with lots of options
This place is good to just go in and have dinner but do not use their delivery service the guy is rude he Demands a perfect temp and he complains that you live too far do not use the delivery service youll be embarrassedo
Standard Chinese and Japanese. Well done, inexpensive, great service. Lunchtime may be crowded with locals grabbing a lunch special. Take out too.
BEST CHINISE FOOD EVER. I HIGHLY SUGGEST. GOOD FOOD. GOOD SERVICE. GOOD ENVIROMENT. VERY QUIT. LARGE MENU.
Terrible terrible delivery guy. Rude as hell. Expects tip like he actually deserves it. He doesn’t with his attitude.
I have been to this place multiple times and their sushi is delicious 😋
Food is good. Service is extremely nasty. Not the first time we have encountered this issue
Tofu is back... Come see the newly renovated dining room and enjoy all your favorite dishes...
Would absolutely recommend visiting this place. Exceptional mood, fresh dishes, awesome service. Keep it up.
Delicious and fresh. Glad to have them open again

2021-11-28I ordered online for a group and it was okay. I had the shrimp lomein and it was absolutely delicious at a fair price. The shrimp fried rice was okay, but I just prefer lomein. My friends had dunplings, spring rolls, sesame tofu and miso soup. The sesame tofu looked especially good.My only complaints are the lack of utensils given with takeout. They should have an option online whether to include them or not instead of removing them altogether. Also, the parking lot at night looked shady and the entrance was kind of hard to notice. But the inside dine in area looked nice from a quick glance.

2022-01-23I had the shrimp w/lobster and it was wonderful, shrimp was cooked perfectly--not tough--and the flavor was on point. The mei fun was excellent too. Good portions. Highly recommend!Green tea ice creams good too, full of flavor without being too sweet.Very nice inside too, love the reno!
Review №3
2021-10-11This had to be the worst food we have ever ordered. I ordered the coconut chicken and rice. Zero flavor. Everyone in my family tried it and also agreed how terrible it was. It was like steamed chicken and all water chest nuts. Just disgusting. We also ordered sushi. 70.00 in sushi. They were ok, whole food sushi isSo much better. These Rolls are tiny for 16.00 a roll. This place was a total and complete disappointment.I have not left a review for anyplace in about 4 years. This means it was really that bad that I feel that I have to leave a review.Stay awayyyyyyyyyyy

2022-03-28One of the best Chinese and sushi restaurant I been to in a while. The staffs are nice the food is amazing especially all the sushi and the salad. The dumpling chow mien and fried rice are all super flavorful. Overall highly recommend this place

2022-06-02Not a Chinese takeout level portion and they even burned the eggs in my fried rice, come on man not cool.
Review №6
2021-03-27The food here is AMAZING! Their sushi and sashimi are super fresh and they are presented in such a cute way. Other members of my party also enjoyed their food. The pan fried noodle with sautéed veggies has the most delectable sauce. You also won’t go wrong with choosing their pad Thai. Their service was excellent. We will definitely come back again!If you are worried about COVID, they have a temperature monitor in the entrance to detect any fevers!

2022-06-24Place is completely redone absolutely gorgeous,food was good, service was absolutely horrible. In fact the server was told what the girl was allergic to and she brought and luckily they noticed it otherwise she probably would have went in anaphylactic shock. Server was totally disinterested in properly waiting on customers.

2022-05-10Food is the best! Loved it all but the waitress was not very attentive for an empty room and when trying to see if there was a wait with a phone call we got come down and hung up.

2021-10-21I am sorry that some people have had less than wonderful food here. I think it is a hidden gem. Just had the Thai chicken with mango - it was delicious. I have not had everything on the menu, but I have enjoyed everything I have ordered. The space has been redecorated, the staff is friendly, the service was great. Lots of take out while we were there. I encourage people to come inside and enjoy the experience. Its wonderful!

2022-03-24Not even one star. They’re not polite to their customers. We ordered shrimp fried rice a💰but they gave us chicken. when we called them they just say “oh, we got wrong?”.🙄🙄🙄 we went there 7:00 and they closed at 8:00 so maybe they give us their ready chicken fried rice instead of cooking shrimp. never again.👎👎👎
