It's Good Karma-

Vegan Cafe.


This post is long overdue. I've been eating at Good Karma since I moved to San Jose. They showed me how much can be done with tofu. I have to admit that I haven't eaten there often in the past few years-ever since they moved from 7th and Santa Clara to 1st Street.

When I moved to SJ 5 years ago (can't believe it's been that long!), Good Karma was owned by a nice older Vietnamese couple. I used to go there after work and eat dinner for five dollars when I was a poor volunteer and that was as much as I could spend on dinner.

GK is owned by some hip younger white guy(s)? now and it's got a new location and style to match. They have live music and art shows and they used to have bingo nights. The food is pretty much the same and the prices are still great but I just haven't had the same loyalty since the switchover.

We had some GK again tonight though and it was like old times. I had tofu scramble and Thai curry. John had spicy basil tofu and tofu in black bean sauce.

I need to get back soon and get some peppery turkey (that used to be my favorite on sandwiches) and try the Jamaican jerk tofu and spicy roasted red pepper hummus.

We tried the tofu chocolate mousse pie. I've been wanting to try this since I saw Jessica eating it once. It's really good--and I definitely think I could make it myself.
