Meet Tofu Monkey where tofu takes centre stage — build your bowl, burger, or dessert with bold, comforting flavours and playful twists.

Watch what happened in March.

Tofu Monkey is swinging into Sydney in 2026 and you’re invited to be part of the troop before the doors even open. Think fast, fun, feel-good food where tofu is the star: silky soft or crispy, loaded with bold Asian flavours, cheeky Western twists, and toppings for days.

From savoury bowls and crunchy tofu burgers to dessert tofu and playful drinks, it’s healthy-ish comfort food you’ll actually crave.

To kick off Tofu Monkey, we are hosting a series of focus groups to help shape our foodie project.

This isn’t a rushed tasting or a noisy launch party. It’s a deliberate, friendly test kitchen experience — with good food, good people, and plenty of opinions welcome.

We’ll kick things off with a short intro to what Tofu Monkey is all about, then it’s straight into the good stuff.

You’ll taste two Tofu Monkey dishes from our upcoming menu and get to have a play with tofu and different flavour combinations of your own — it's designed to show off different tofu styles, flavours and textures. Expect silky, crispy, saucy moments and a few surprises along the way.

The event runs for 3 hours, from 5.30 pm to 8.30 pm, and you are welcome to arrive at any time and stay as long as you like. We recommend allowing at least an hour to enjoy your time with us and taste everything.

Between bites, we’ll invite you to:

  • Share what you love

  • Tell us what you’d tweak

  • React honestly to the taste, look and overall vibe

There’s no “right” feedback — curiosity and honesty are exactly what we’re after. You'll leave with a limited-edition Tofu Monkey T-shirt, become a Founding Member of our loyalty program, and be showered with gifts, offers, and discounts in the future.

The session is small, relaxed and capped at 36 guests, so there’s time to chat, taste and connect — without feeling rushed.

Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to have an opinion.
