Super affordable and really nice staff! I've gotten tea eggs, rice rolls, soy milk and tofu pudding here and enjoyed every item. Very reasonably priced! I got two large soy milk for under 10 and they were fresh and lightly sweetened. For the tofu pudding they always ask white or brown sugar, I prefer the brown as I think it has a more gingery taste. The staff also care about the customers. I got hot tofu pudding and cold soy milk and they won't put the two together because they don't want the soy milk to get heated and go bad quickly!

Come here if you want some childhood snacks and desserts (tofu fa, grass jelly, putzai go, sweet rice cake, tea eggs, zongzhi, etc)I love their tofu fa. You can get it either hot or cold. I also like that they give you more than 1 syrup if you get a large. For $5 it was not bad at all.

Initially, I was planning to visit Fong On, but after reading reviews suggesting changes to their tofu pudding, I decided to come here instead. The choice was well worth it!I ordered a large, hot dou hua (tofu pudding), which came in a sturdy plastic container. Freshly made each morning, the pudding was incredibly smooth and came with a gingery brown sugar sauce on the side, perfectly complementing the delicate tofu. I also couldn't resist trying their tea egg, marinated to perfection with a rich soy sauce flavor. And the freshly made, unsweetened soy milk was especially nostalgic; it had a deep soybean flavor that took me back to the days of buying fresh soy milk from street vendors in Taiwan.While I didn't get a chance to try their famous zongzi (sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves) this time, the aroma was incredible, and I'll definitely be back for it. With no seating, this narrow takeout-only spot is ideal for a quick stop. Service was fast and no-nonsense, and they take credit cards. Affordable and packed with authentic flavor, 46 Mott is a true gem for anyone looking to indulge in traditional snacks and desserts in NYC's Chinatown.

Great tofu pudding, herbal jelly, and other tasty goods. Very friendly service as well!

I ordered Lo Bak Gao every year here during LNY. Owners are super nice and their gao is great. I'll need to try their drinks and snacks next time.

The food was fresh and good. The service was decently fast. My favorite were the snack foods as they were very affordable.

Small shop with quick service and tasty, classic Dou Hua (tofu pudding). The line forms inside the shop, and the tofu pudding comes with a little sauce packet. It comes at a good price, but the cashier seemed upset when we asked for a spoon.The service is quick and does not have seating, so it's convenient for takeout.There were a few people also inside ordering when we went on a Saturday around noon.

For $5, you get a quart of tofu pudding and syrup. You really can't beat that price anywhere. I got the chilled option, but I believe you can also get it warm. The store also has other baked goods and traditional desserts. I was in and out of the store within a couple minutes!

It's been so long since my last visit. I hadn't been since the 2020s, when I worked downtown, pre-pandemic, so I was thrilled to see #46 Mott not only open, but thriving! The zongzi circa 2024 were exactly the same as they were circa 2020: restrained, made with excellent rice and filled in our case with peanuts and a bit of pork ($3.75). It was delicious, but not decadent -- true to this shop's form. We found the lotus leaf wrapped rice ($3) to be even more fantastic, the rice looser than in the zongzi and imbued through with the fragrance of lotus leaf, all generously stuffed with your choice of fillings. (The vegetarian mushroom was truly excellent, the pork very good.) My favorite, though, may have been the soy sauce / tea eggs, which were thoroughly marinated and deliciously briny. It took some self restraint to not order the dou hua (silken tofu custard), which we like to take home and dress with savory toppings like soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, chives and cilantro -- a perfect warm weather dish -- or the soy milk. We've really enjoyed #46's versions of these in the past! But sadly, I was already laden down from shopping and couldn't handle any more weight. They accept credit cards without a surcharge IIRC. The young woman working at the counter was courteous and conversed perfectly in English, Mandarin and several other Chinese dialects by the sound of it. There's no seating in this tiny, narrow takeout only operation -- but a high concentration of good eats! I love. Next time, I'm bringing more friends so we can collectively carry more loot.

46 Mott Bakery is a must stop for us when we go to Chinatown! This small shop offers a wide variety of traditional Chinese snacks and treats, ranging from zhongzi to tea eggs to doufu hua (tofu pudding) to Chinese herbal tea to put chai ko (little bowl cake)! They offer ready-to-eat items as well as frozen treats you can cook at home. Everything is incredibly affordable, making it easy to indulge in your favorite snacks without breaking the bank.There is no seating so it's a convenient place to pick up some takeout!
