Hoang Tofu

This is down-home Banh-Mi made authentically, one of the best if not the best, in Nashville. A small mom and pop, do not expect a big greeting and someone showing you to a seat and setting you up with a napkin and silverware. Order from the pictures on the board or the photos of food on the wall. Have a seat, eat, and pay on your way out. They have various noodle bowls but the main draw for me are the sandwiches.

I visited Hoan Tofu on a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm, right after a run. I was craving something flavorful and quick, and this place did not disappoint. With a Vietnamese background - I wanted a Banh Mi (sandwiches), so I ordered the Cha Dac Biet (combination) and the Thit Nuong (grilled pork). The service was great, simple, and quick. Initially, the lady didn't assume I spoke Vietnamese, but after I greeted her in Vietnamese, she welcomed me with open arms and was friendly regardless of the language I spoke. The small gesture made me feel more at home and was an even more pleasant experience. The sandwiches were delicious, especially considering the price and the limited availability of quality Asian cuisine in Nashville. The bread was fresh and crispy, and the fillings were well-seasoned. However, I felt that the banh mi could have used a bit more butter and pate to enhance the flavors further. Despite this, both sandwiches were satisfying and flavorful.Hoang Tofu is a small, no-frills spot with limited seating, so it's ideal for a quick bite or takeout. Don't let the humble appearance deter you--this place serves up some fantastic food. I will be returning for another round of their tasty banh mi.

Ordered beef pho & 6 banh mi sandwichesService was fast & absolutely delicious. Small store with such a kind gentleman behind the counter.

Great quick and cheap eats! Really nice staff. Come get the 5, get one free. And grab some fresh sugar cane juice.

I dined at Hoang Tofu on Saturday, November 5, 2022 at 1 pm. Hoang Tofu is certainly a hole in the wall type establishment offering various Vietnamese dishes including pho, bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup), and banh mi, banh cuon/uot (rice crepe), and many more. It is a small place with very few tables, so I would not count on dining in if it's busy. I had a bowl of bun bo hue and a banh mi. Several times in the past I've had the bun bo hue, and the meat had tasted old. But this time, the meat tasted okay. So be aware that there are some consistency issues with meat quality in the bun bo, and potentially other noodle soups. The banh mi tasted good and is excellent for the price. There is a coconutty essence in the banh mi that is quite unique. Although Hoang Tofu's food tasted pretty authentic and decent by Vietnamese standards, I think it lacks restaurant quality. I think Hoang Tofu has more potential as a catering/ordering to-go business than a sit-in dining experience not only because there are very few tables for diners to eat in, but their service leaves much to be desired. The old folk running the front isn't a very patient guy and seem to not like answering "stupid" questions. Don't get me wrong, I think the food gets great reviews by the Vietnamese locals and there's a lot to try here, but I would not expect good service. A solid 3/5 stars.

I ordered a #7 Bo Han Quoc (bulgog beef) and it was very good. They have 2 small tables bit it's not really a dine in place; recommended for a quick to go bite. Was only $5.

We had Bun Bo Hue and Banh Cuon here. The foods were ok. Bun Bo Hue has a lot of MSG. Banh Cuon was alright. Service sucks which I was expected. The guy who looks like an owner was mean. The table was dirty and sticky. Just expect to have zero ambiance, keep expectations low.

Best banh mi I've found in a long time. They have lots of options to order. I got combination and the grilled pork ones and they are DELICIOUS! I bought more after trying them. They make everything in house including the bread which I think really makes the banh mi. The grilled pork tastes really fresh and seasoning is just right and has a good butter. They put lots of meat and ingredients into their banh mi! They sell a variety of dishes here in addition to their tofu. I recommend their fried tofu! It's soft and creaThey have steamed rice cakes, Vietnamese hams, desserts and many more. Sugar can juice was so good! Owners were really nice and quick! This is a busy place and many people place orders before coming in.

Very authentic food. Delicious ands a wide variety. Typical vietnamese sit-down restaurant. Feels homey. Workers are consistent. Good deal for bánh mì.

Delicious sandwiches!! Will come again! Only $5! We tried the tofu and pork belly bahn mi. The staff was super friendly, and they also had multiple items for sale at a great price.
