Dức Phương Tofu

This spot in East San Jose is a great place for Vietnamese snacks, fresh dishes, and drinks. We often stop by to grab a dessert drink and some tofu. Their selection of fried tofu is impressive, with the lemongrass fried tofu being particularly popular, often selling out quickly. I sometimes get the rice crackers as well, though I wish they came in smaller portions since they take a while to finish. The dessert drinks are refreshing, with numerous options and combinations to choose from, and they provide ice separately.

In addition to snacks, they offer a variety of fresh foods. Although I haven't tried them yet since I usually visit a nearby Vietnamese restaurant for those, it seems like a great place for a quick grab-and-go meal. I also enjoy their fried Chinese donuts. The store accepts credit cards, and it's best to visit around lunchtime as some items sell out quickly. On one occasion, we visited late in the afternoon and found that many items were already gone, and we couldn't get what we wanted.

Dức Phương Tofu is a go-to spot for fresh tofu and Vietnamese desserts, offering silken tofu with sweet ginger syrup, steamed rice cakes, and che (sweet soup).

The grab-and-go lunch plates are affordable and flavorful, with pork rolls and fried bananas being popular choices. Service is fast and friendly, though the cash-only policy may be inconvenient for some. Despite minor limitations, the quality and variety of fresh tofu products make this a solid stop for Vietnamese snacks.

Been coming here for many years since I was a pre-teen. They have everything you need to make dinner or have something to eat if you are hungry. The aunties are kind and generous. I like their fried tofu and soy milk. Sometimes I get the sticky rice, whenever I am hungry and need to munch on something. Their che is also good.

Also the old lady in front of the store sells good groceries, if you forgot to get something from the supermarket or you are looking for a better produce quality. I recommend getting chilis from her. She is also sweet and hardworking for her old age. Please support her and the aunties!

I should have listened to my friends who recommended buying egg rolls from Huong Lan. But I did buy a few egg rolls to try first, b4 buying 50 to take to a NY Eve’s party! The party tray egg rolls had little meat, thick wrapper and more oily than the ones I bought at the counter to try! I was embarrassed to bring such shitty food to share…
Needless to say I won’t be making that mistake again, and you lost the opportunity to gain new customers who had your terrible egg rolls at the party!
Dumb business move?!?

Stopped here to pick up some snacks. Walking into the place brought me back to my younger years when mom used to make all of these five eateries.

Bought glutinous rice with Pandan and coconut. Fantastic! Also, I got the mung bean balls in ginger broth topped with peanuts. It's almost as good as mom's.

Good comfort food at a fair market price. The ladies working were helpful and friendly.

Missing a bit of home, so there.

Reliable and tasty for pork rolls, che, and steamed rice cake foods. Usual no nonsense service for the area and cash only. They’re marginally nicer to you if you make an effort to speak Vietnamese.

It's a takeout only place. Great tofu pudding (Dau fa). We love their "Pearl drinks" which is like tofu pudding Che!Cashier is very nice even with language barrier. Cash preferred but they do take card.We got number 6 but they ran out of the green jelly so they substituted with grass jelly. Very delicious!

Solid food for price point. I love the sandwiches here and the bread they use doesn't cut my mouth up. The flavor is also super yummy though they don't always stuff the sandwich until it overflows.

Very good food here!

You have to check the bill and make sure you get the food you pay for. Once you leave they will not do anything for you.Aside from that, the best sweet soft tofu around. So silky and delicious.They have a lot of other food as well like che, snack, jello, fried tofu, sandwich and tray food.If you come later in the day, the che is $0.50 off for each.The banh beo is not good at all. Don't waste your money on that.

Vegetarian options: It's mostly a vegetarian food place.

Kid-friendliness: Not a sit down restaurant.

Parking: No disable parking in front. Parking spot is pretty small. Depend on the time, it get very crowded.
