About Sogo Tofu

Sogo Tofu is a special place that offers a wide variety of fresh tofu, soy milk, and groceries with a Hong Kong/Chinese/Taiwanese style. Their "chicken" Tofu and fresh buns are popular items, and their cooked meal sets serve authentic, fresh vegetarian food with great flavors. Customers praise the freshly made dishes, especially the tofu and egg platter, and the tofu custard made with organic soybeans, which is smooth and flavorful. The shop makes its own tofu, soy milk, bean curd, and other soy products daily, using organic soybeans. The soy milk is fresh and nearly impossible to find elsewhere, though customers are advised to request cold soy milk to avoid plastic leaching. The rice burritos / fantuan (rice balls) and their vegetarian pork floss are delicious and stand out for their ingredients. The savory rice balls with youtiao are also highly recommended. The tofu pudding with ginger syrup remains a Taiwanese classic. The hot food section offers generous portions of dishes similar to a Singaporean hawker stall, like fried kway teow and rice vermicelli. Prices are a bit high, around $17 for a box of three dishes and carbs, but the boxes are stuffed and enough to feed two hungry people. Customers appreciate the polite staff who do not pressure sales and the cleanliness of the store. Many regulars visit for their simple, healthy lunch options like sour and spicy soup, refrigerated taro cake, cold appetizers, rice balls, and build-your-own bento boxes with veggie-rice or spicy wide noodles. The shop also sells goji berries in individual bags, preferred over those made in China, and their soy milk and prepared veggie dishes are favorites. This shop maintains a clean environment without bad odors or aggressive sales tactics, making it a trustworthy spot for tasty vegetarian dishes.
