Binh Minh Tofu

A no frills, small hole-in-a-wall tofu shop that my husband and I found while we were in the East San Jose area. Their menu is limited to everything tofu.We had purchased a serving of their dessert tofu, and were pleasantly surprised with how fresh and hot it was. One serving of their dessert tofu is the usual "large" size that is sold at grocery stores. It came with a side of ginger syrup. The total cost was only $3.50. I was excited to have a bowl of tofu when getting home. Sure enough, the tofu was still warm and silky and the ginger syrup was just the perfect amount of sweet with just a small spoonful. They are cash only. Their parking lot is small and is shared with other shops in the lot. The inside and outside of the shop leaves more to be desired. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some good quality but cheap eats.

Thanks to Yelp for helping me find this hole in the wall. I got the deep-fried mushroom tofu which also had small pieces of vermicelli on it. 12 pieces for $3, very inexpensive and yummy. I also ended up picking up some tofu from their freezer because I felt like I needed to support them more. The person who helped me was very nice. I wish them the very best.

This is one of my family's go-to tofu shops for fresh dau hu nuoc duong because it's the best price ($3.50) for good quality we've found. It's not as tasty as some other pricier shops but still great! They also have affordable fresh made tofu and vegetarian sides as well. Fair warning that it's small and not the cleanest shop or nicest location but we're here for a quick pickup so no biggie.

Tofu is not that good compared to thanh son tofu. They also don't get cards. Place looks dirty and small.

You can find the cheapest and freshest tofu at this hole in the wall! One giant slab of white tofu for $1.50. It is almost $3 elsewhere. Not only it's inexpensive but the quality is up there. I used to like tofu at other places but I come to realized the tofus here are the best. It doesn't foam up when you fry them. You get the full "meaty" texture as you bite into it.

When your preparing and cut your "fresh" tofu and discover a fucking fly!!Disgusting and never buying tofu from here again!!!

Wonderful tofu! Best in the bay area and we're lucky enough to have them in San Jose! I've prepared it fresh and it comes out great. This tofu is MICH more firm than what you'd get at trader Joe's or Safeway, even if you take the time to press. If you have the time, freeze it. First, it keeps wonderfully. Second, by letting this freeze throughout then defrost, you end up with a spongy texture that's fantastic for soaking up flavor and sauce. I like to slather it with BBQ sauce and cook on convention for a long time; my 1 year old gobbles it down =D

The BEST TOFU in San Jose!! I have searched for many tofu places and finally I found this little mama papa place. $1 for 4 pieces . Great quality and quantity!!

Tofu pudding and ginger syrup!!Also had great soymilk, really affordable price. Really yummy.Kind of unassuming shop, tucked away in a corner. But the owners are nice (even though I can't speak Viet )If you don't see the tofu pudding with ginger syrup, just ask because not all the food seems to be on display. Bring cash!

I am eating vegetarian for a whole month for the first time in my life and that is how I discovered this hidden gem. Otherwise, I would run away looking at this hole in the wall shop at glance. I tried its major competitor brand, ThanhSon and BinhMinh hand down is my personal favorite. The quality is what you would get homemade from your mum. I love their lemon grass fried tofu and soy milk. I will continue to support this business after my 1 month of vegetarian and pray hard for the owner good health to live a long life. She is doing the community a great service and should be recognized!
