Grethel LunaNovember 12, 2016Never thought that vegan food could taste so good. Definitely recommend this place, food is full of flavor and loved the way it is decorated.
Queenie DMay 4, 2014I'm a life-long vegetarian from Raleigh, North Carolina. Needless to say I've had my share of vegan soul food. But this place is by far the best I've ever tried. Not just in Oakland, in the world!
ValJune 18, 2017Southern fried tofu plate with okra gumbo and grits, and the combo plate. Best vegan meal in the Bay Area so far.
Vegan chicken fried steak - mac-cheese ... enough said..well, okra, their sauces, cake, bbq tofu...ok everything on the menu is awesome
Christian BakerJune 15, 2016Three item combo is two meals at least. My favorite combination is the BBQ tofu, mac n' cheese, and corn bread. Also try the soju cocktails!
The chick’n po’ boy was amazing. Plus extremely generous portions. You will not leave this place hungry!
The southern fried tofu and mac are killer. Forget the vegan label baggage, this is just good food.
Tiffany SchaeferApril 11, 2015Can't beat the selection of delicious vegan options -finally a place for vegetarians, vegans and omnivores to share bites!
CristinaDecember 14, 2013I tried the southern fried tofu, yams and cornbread. It was AMAZING! Very filling. I could eat here every day!
Rob HolmesJuly 4, 2013I ain't vegan, but their food rocks! Worth the experience of removing the carnivore...
Their southern fried tofu is a must have; reminds me of my Alabama roots!
Gina GloverAugust 3, 2013Absolutely love this place. First time at a began2 restaurant and I was blown awaaay :) and im not even vegan! yumyum!
Cameron WJune 27, 2015I can't believe the Mac and cheese is vegan, it is one of the best I have ever had.
Amazing new menu options. I saw a smothered biscuit, spaghetti and a tofu bowl, and I wished I hadn't just ordered the regular.
Aaron WJuly 24, 2011Faves are the potato salad, BBQ tofu, Mac n cheese and southern fried tofu. No clue how they make it all vegan, but it's delicious.
Bella KedaAugust 8, 2014The Deep Fried Tofu. Mac n Cheese. Yams. Black Eyed Peas. Lemonade. Pretty much everything. Oh cash only
Lenny LesserApril 24, 2014Get the full platter and share it. probably enough food for 2, 3 with an extra side.
Hannah WerdmullerJanuary 21, 2017The southern fried tofu is so delicious. Also the cucumber water is a nice touch.
Mario QuispeDecember 9, 2012Okra gumbo was excellent. A bit too spicy. But order a beer and it will help it wash it down excellently.
BommyMay 30, 2016Vegan soul food. Seitan chick n waffles is edible but would not come again. Cornbread and biscuits with gravy are so dense and not good.
- Jason JamesJuly 12, 2014The Southern Fried tofu in its many forms (mini-nuggets, sandwich, or as a side).
Rochelle IFebruary 3, 2011Amazing! Crispy burger! Everything plate. All delicious. Lemonade is ok a bit too strong for me. Great service!
Examiner.comApril 18, 2011Most 'soul food,' joints are not vegan friendly. If you've been missing that down south, soul food in your vegan diet, look no further than Souley Vegan. Read more
Maria NewmanFebruary 28, 2011Their fried and BBQ tofu are to die for! Also, the Mac 'n' cheese could fool anyone into thinking it was made with dairy.
Cary Bass-DeschenesMarch 23, 2012This place is Hella awesome. Reminded my of food from back home. Without the bacon and ham!
allie bergerJanuary 15, 2011Amazing! Get the yams you will be so happy, skip the cheese cake. Have a friend? Get the everything plate!
Susie Denegree ⓋMay 26, 2012Try the Southern Fried Tofu With Mac'n'cheese And Biscuits And Gravy...Oh, My!
Angelica WFebruary 20, 2016The wait for food is so long you'll be seeing stars from hypoglycemia before you get to eat
Don't get me wrong, love this place, it's food, and people, but you don't have "cocktails" because you don't have actual liquor, and charging $9 for a measly bowl of grits is absurd. AVOID THE BOWL
The mac & "cheese" is a crowd-pleaser. Add the hot sauce for a little kick!
BARE MagazineFebruary 21, 2012We hope your brought your appetite! Try the Everything Plate, you won't regret it.
Corey YarberFebruary 5, 2011I got 99 problems but Souley Vegan ain't one. If you haven't try the Mac-N-Cheese I feel bad for you, son

Ricky Shin - 6.9
"The food is more of and intellectual experience than a sensorial one. The people eating are always so stern and quiet. I suspect they’re thinking about how much good they’re doing by eating here."
