The Chinese donut and soy milk are the best in Seattle area. Don’t recommend the fried pork bun and salty sticky rice, which are not relevant to me tofu. And CASH only! Otherwise you can withdraw cash at the atm in grocery store next by.

The moment I opened the soy milk, I was greeted by a fresh, natural aroma—the owner said they use only real, unprocessed ingredients. It’s heartening to see a traditional store still upholding such genuine quality and care.

Restaurant side is CLOSED, and has been for over a year. Wholesale tofu is still available, and order pick-up/delivery is still available. Phone number remains the same. Yelp and other listings are outdated and highly inaccurate. No more restaurant side, until further notice.

Grungy but cheap and delicious restaurant. I absolutely love tofu, and not as a meat substitute but as a very versatile ingredient that can be sweet, salty, umami, or whatever you want it to be. The variety of dishes here speaks to how awesome soy is as an ingredient. My favorite was the bean sheets with pickled veggies/edamame while my friend liked the soft tofu with hairy pork and century egg. Everything was super cheap, with some dishes as low as $4.50. We ordered 4 dishes ($32) for 3 people and took home leftovers.

Soy milk is good. Fried donut油條 is nice and crispy. Spring onion pancake (蔥油餅) is thick style, depends on your preference. Rice ball...it's really "rice ball", too much sticky rice.... don't suggest. Maybe more people today, we wait for a while....
