Northwest Tofu Inc

Visited Northwest Tofu for the first time. Bought the tofu pudding (sweet) and tofu puffs. OMG they are absolutely delicious! Please do yourself a favor and try those two items if you haven't. Besides the tofu pudding and soy milk, nothing is ready to eat. You have to take them home to heat up or cook. So don't go there while starving :) You could park in the front and walk to the back alley to make purchases at the rear door/counter. I drove directly into the alley and fortunately was able to find one of the few parking spots directly at the rear door. I know it's the back alley where the environment isn't clean, for example, you could see the trash bins/carts close by. But for some reason, it felt homey to me. That was weird.

The restaurant was not open but the factory was. You will have to go around the corner to see the back door. I got a bottle of sweet soy milk (I really want to get a unsweet one but it was sold out at the moment) and fried dough (油條) - they were the most authentic ones I have ever had in the U.S.. The soy milk was full of soy flavor (suggesting it was made of soy, not reconstituted from soy powder). The fried dough was crispy and perfectly greasy. Just a reminder - They take cash only.

They are open but only have a limited menu of their factory direct products. They can make some hot foods like the fried tofu. The rest, such as the bbq pork buns, are sold frozen for you to steam at home. Go to the back and someone will come out to help you. Their soy milk is still as amazing as ever! They are not sure when their full kitchen will be back up and running. I hope it's soon!

The tofu is definitely home-made. The flavor is authentic, their soy milk is sweet and aromatic. Not a whole lot of variety but you will find this place good for an authentic Chinese brunch. For take out, the door is at the back alley, menu has very limited options... I hope they will have more foods for take out menu in near future.
