Thanh Son Tofu

Good size parking lot out front. Pretty good size store inside with a lot of Vietnamese desserts, fried tofu, banh cuons and snacks to choose from. I only tried the che with tapioca pearl balls with yellow mung bean inside and the banh cuon. Both were good! I recommend eating their banh cuon the day of though. I saved half for the next day bc I wanted to savor it but the rice noodle was wet and mushy already. No bueno. There is a lot of che to choose from with a name written on top in Vietnamese. Luckily my Vietnamese friend was with me to tell me what it was or ask the ladies working there. Otherwise I would have no idea! Lols

I saw this place being recommended by a few Chinese. I got a soft tofu pudding with ginger syrup and coconut milk. It was really delicious. They have different types of Che which is a type of traditional Vietnamese dessert. Definitely a slice of Vietnam outside Vietnam!

Great spot for fried tofu and soft tofu pudding. Prices have creeped up a bit but it's still very affordable for homemade tofu. The lemongrass chili is probably my favorite.

This is my go to spot if I need ingredients for offerings like fried tofu, soft tofu dessert, banh uoc, xoi and che. They have so many options for xoi and che but you have to early. I grew up across the street and my sisters and I used to walk from our house across the street to stop by here to pick up some food. Our parents work early and come home late so we have to cook for ourselves and the ready to go make it easier for us.

I was craving che (Vietnamese dessert drink) and dessert tofu last week, so I stopped by Thanh Son Tofu around 6pm last Sunday.It was $4 for a giant bucket of silken tofu with ginger syrup and $3-$6 for a small and large Che, respectively. I thought it was a bargain and everything was absolutely delicious. Not too sweet, giant portions, and the lady working even gave me a free Che since they were near closing. No complaints from me, and I'll definitely be back for more Vietnamese desserts in the future!

I thought this place closed down? They seem to be opened now.If you want the best goods you have to come early, I came around 4pm and almost everything was out, at least the good stuff. I got a soy milk jug and some random treats and it came out to $18, when did stuff get so pricey? The soy milk didn't taste as soy like and thick as before, very watered down this time.

Where else would you go for some fresh dessert tofu (tau fu fa)? Why Thanh Son Tofu, of course! They sell their dessert tofu by the bucket (think the containers seen pre-packed at grocery stores), and they have both the original and pandan flavors. You also have the choice of including the ginger syrup or coconut milk with your order. Since I'm the only one who eats the dessert tofu, I ordered only one container. The tofu was silky and smooth. I was surprised it was warm too. The ginger syrup is quite thick, and a little does go a long way. I skipped out on the coconut milk this time, since I was craving something more traditional. The total cost was $4.00. They share a parking lot with several other restaurants, and parking can get busy/full. You could try parking in the local neighborhood if you don't want to deal with the parking frenzy during peak times.

I've been here a couple of times and many more times I asked my friend to buy fried tofu for me from this place. I like that they have the seasoned fried tofu sold by weight $6/lb. They also sell the mushroom and lemon grass fried tofu cubes that I love so much. The only thing is that they are inconsistent with how much salt they put on the tofu. Sometimes they are pretty plain and other times, you could taste the salt. The tofu textures are usually good though. Firm but soft inside and the tofu taste different than if you would buy the wet-packaged tofu from the supermarket (even if you fry them yourself). They also sell lots of other vietnamese snacks, finger food, desserts and fresh soy milk. If you're into tofu, I recommend to check out this place. Don't come too late in the afternoon because they do run out.

This is the only place to find quality tofu. It tastes really good, especially the spicy ones.

Do not come to this food venue!!!. On January 28 came in the store to purchase a frozen sauteed goat at the price $29. The man works behind the kitchen told me the food is good to try. The package does have a label without where it came from, ingredients and price label. It looks suspicious! Asked the man who works there and he told me the sauteed goat meat is good but doesn't know how the goat is prepared and cooked. I called yesterday February 2/6, to ask them why the meat so chewy but the manager did not want to talk to me. Then I came the shop today, February 7 to return and have an exchange for others, but still they refused to accept and talked to me. The family came from Vietnam with English barriers under Communist regime influence. And with know-how to conduct business practices in Vietnam but doesn't work and apply in United States. I gave my phone number to a employee there. I hope the owner will call me!! Please be aware what you're going to buy. There's no sign posted in the store in January 28 with the note, "No Exchanges No Returns," But today the employees shown me there one on wall behind the cashier, check your order before you leave this shop. This is like Scam!!! They're crooked.T. BuiPalo Alto
