My car (RIP) quit visiting BUI Tofu a few years ago. After MANY YEARS of near weekly [or bi-weekly] shop & eat. Early on there was one table available. When BUI Tofu family came in the little ones won the space. HAPPILY Due to medical problems. (;_;)/~~~ We'll call it Chassis Melt.(^_^;)? Only occasional visits now. 1st on my list are EGG ROLLS (pork). When I can wait AND it is possible FRESH is BEST. If not JUST out of the fryer a few hours old [they are OUT or no time to make more]. I can grok that. Next are set of Shrimp Salad Wraps with EXCELLENT Peanut Sauce! A couple made to be consumed together There are also a few other MUST HAVES. Which is pretty much ANYTHING ELSE on the dense Menu. Tofu Fried Pork... read more

Bui Natural Tofu can be found at basically any Asian grocer in Portland, but if you can go straight to the source, why not? Plus they have various other goodies that you don't see distributed at other places. My number 1 advice: get the lemongrass tofu. I can pop these in my mouth all day like popcorn. So addicting. read more

Why can't we have a business like Bui Natural Tofu back on the islands of Oahu, we have nothing like this here. Bui Natural Tofu is a Gem, I would move to Portland just to be close to Bui Natural Tofu. I first visited back in March of 2025, it was the last day before my trip so I bought 2 trays of tofu to try, I bought it back home and Wow! It was super good, I really regret not buying more! The tofu with onions and plain, both were so fresh and tasty! During this recent visit, I stopped by and got more items than I did last time, 4 packs tofu, 2 fried cha lua ( steamed pork) 2 mochi rice, pandan desserts, 2 chicken spring rolls, and bag of mini banh mi. Again, regret, I wish I bought more! I shared some of goods with goods with my family, because "sharing is caring"! Bui Natural Tofu is a very popular deli, I can tell from the numerous customers stopping by during my visit. They are know for their tofu which is made from 100% US non-GMO soybeans and they also have a variety of rolls, food options, desserts, breads, drinks and grocery items. The prices are affordable for the goods/quality they are offering! Although they have a lemongrass and stuffed meat tofu available, I only got the plain and onion one. When I got back home, I couldn't wait. I made packaged noodles and added Bui's tofu, so good! Loved that the tofu is pre-cut in to squares, so simple to use! I enjoyed the chicken spring rolls, The fried steam pork, so good, hit the spot since it's been so long since I had steamed pork/ cha lua. The mochi rice with chicken and lup Chong, this was way better than the last biz I bought from. This place is so good, I want all my Yelp friends to know this, I am missing Bui Tofu already! Staff are so friendly and they do take credit cards! Overall, this is one of Portland's best shop, I hope they win an award for The Best Tofu shop! I will have to wait for my next trip out to the PNW and this time I am buying more, triple more!! Bui Natural Tofu is amazing & so good! read more

One of Portlands beloved eateries serving up freshly made tofu, egg rolls, soy milk and other Vietnamese bites. It's a far trek to this location for me so it's a special occasion when I stop by I make sure to buy a Costco portion of items. Fried tofu with onions and vermicelli. Much different than what you'll find at Uwajimaya or other stores carrying Bui tofu. This is a special fried tofu and can be eaten plain, stir fried, in soup or with your favorite sauce (maybe shoyu, soba sauce or nuoc mam?? *dipping sauce for almost everything Egg rolls are delicious too. Bite sized with a perfect crunch. Didn't order this time but they're worth trying The banh beo rice cakes? Mung bean, fried shallot, dried shredded shrimp and the Bui special fish sauce. Could eat like 10 trays of this stuff. It's so good and the perfect item to share or bring to a potluck. The sticky rice balls with green center (Xôi khúc) is a flavor bomb. Double mochi chewy glutinous rice with a pork flavor mung bean center. It's deceptively simple and deserves a James Beard Award . I mean this mom n pop shop has been holding it down for years so why not. All the items are painstakingly made to perfection. There's no other Portland shop that does tofu like this. (No offense Ota but Bui Tofu just hits different) Waiting for their new Hillsboro location rumored to open up soon (by end of year) so I can gorge myself on more tofu and rice combination goodness. If it's your first time visiting try everything! Great service and can get busy on weekends. read more

This establishment sells snacks and breads and many different items. They had my favorite sesame balls. Tofu pudding and green cake. Mostly Vietnamese items. They sell a variety of drinks from water to milk to milk tea. Quite fun to go and check it out if you are in the neighborhood. Lots of items cooked or made in house. I was there at 9:45 and there were already quite a few people picking up stuff for the day. read more

The tofu is the best! They have so many other great dishes as well! Sesame balls, puddings, jellies, tofu salads, shrimp rolls, and so much more! read more

I only recently learned of this place, and I will be sure to come back and try more. Since I'm not too familiar with all the variations of their products, I reviewed the menu on their website first and wrote down what I wanted to try. Very nice customer service and a quick checkout. There is an ample parking lot on the corner right next to the shop. I enjoyed everything I bought (in the photo), and it's very affordable. read more

By now, everyone knows Bui Natural Tofu is a gem in Portland, offering an amazing selection of Vietnamese dishes. My favorite? Bánh bèo--a childhood favorite of mine, and they do it right. The delicate steamed rice cakes, savory toppings, and perfect balance of flavors take me straight back to my roots. Whether you're here for their fresh tofu, crispy snacks, or traditional dishes, Bui never disappoints. A must-visit for authentic Vietnamese flavors! read more

Bui Natural Tofu - Bánh bèo - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The absolute best fresh tofu business in town . It definitely qualifies as a bit of a hole in the wall, but looks can be deceiving. It's very busy, but the line moves quickly. They have a lot of fresh food options, including rices, buns, desserts, pastries, spring rolls, etc. Their tofu is delicious, and it comes fried, or raw. I typically buy a few packs of the raw tofu at around 270 per flat, I used to grab a half gallon of soy milk as well. I believe it was around $3. Never had a bad experience here with the food or the service. Everyone behind the counter is always so friendly. I'll be a loyal customer for life. read more

A treasure!!! I picked up a delicious vegetarian rice paper roll and some marvelous tofu cooked with onion. This is the best ever.

Bui Natural Tofu is a gem of a Vietnamese deli in NE Portland. Although best known for their tofu dishes, my favorite items on the menu are the rau câu dừa (coconut jello) and a 3 layered rau câu (mixed jello). Reasonably priced, and a bit more forgiving on the bathroom scale, these desserts have become my go-to in the neighborhood. This deli does their best to fly under the radar, so don't be discouraged if you can't see any of their signage. The business is located just off Glisan near the intersection of 82nd Avenue. There are two parking spots, so you'll need to find street parking out front. With incredibly reasonable pricing, Bui Natural Tofu is a wonderful option for those wanting to sample dishes they've never had before. The staff are friendly, the service is prompt, and the food is absolutely delicious. There's so much to love about this place. read more

It's kind of beautiful to see a whole bunch of families in the community pull up and grab tofu products on a weekend morning. I've never seen a tofu shop like this anywhere else. They're more than just tofu. They have a bunch of cooked food items and desserts that you can grab and eat immediately. My favorite was the chicken sticky rice and the pork tofu (which was good on its own but also would be great if you put that in your hot pot with some sauce). If I lived in Portland, I would be coming here every other weekend. read more

Whoa, Been eating their salad rolls they sell at the markets and decided to go into their main shop to see what else they got. More than pleasantly surprised. Not only do they have A LOT of different options they are super affordable! I mean literally takes me back to 2018 prices. It's also good quality and it's all damn good. People were constantly coming in to get something and I totally get why read more

Definitely one of my favorites to come on the weekends to get the fresh soy milk, tofu and other Vietnamese food. Sometimes there's a line out the door, but the orders go quickly. read more

Everything tofu, interesting. Many tasty menu. Need to try all of them. Remember to pre-order egg roll to pre fry them for you.

Bui Natural Tofu - lemongrass tofu (i already ate half of it, great portions) - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

You're telling me I can get DELICIOUS FRESH TOFU?? WHENEVER I WANT?? 10/10 I tried Bui tofu for the first time at the PSU farmers market, where Roam uses Bui tofu in their tofu roti wrap. I knew immediately I needed to stop by Bui and stock up for home cooking. This counter shop is absolutely no frills, which indicated to me that I was in good hands. They have a range of grab and go dishes including summer rolls, rice noodle dishes, a variety of desserts and much more which all looked delicious. Most importantly, however, they literally sell their tofu by the bag...like the grocery bag. Being just one person I just picked up a tray of their "small" fried onion tofu (only small in that it's cut into smaller slices so more surface area for fried deliciousness vs the large which seems to be three larger pieces) and a plain firm tofu so I could try out the OGs. I ended up cooking these into a delicious khao soi curry at home but not without snacking on a few sticks straight up...yes it was that good. They've made a loyal repeat customer out of me for sure. read more

Bui Natural Tofu - Fried onion tofu and fresh firm tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was in Portland, OR, on vacation back in Mar 2022. Actually, I stopped here at Bui Natural Tofu (BNT) on my way to Discovery Bay, WA, to stock up on breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next few days LOL. Yes, I know... this review is a couple months over due, but hey, it's better late than never. =) Anyway, my dear friend recommended this Vietnamese deli to me. I am so glad she did. Thank you my dear friend! Based on the name of this place, you wouldn't think it sold anything other than tofu, but they do... lots of other good stuff. I picked up about $40+ of foods on my way out from Portland, OR to Discovery Bay, WA. I didn't even eat at any restaurants in WA LOL... I had enough to cover all my meals... $40+ for 3 full days, not bad, huh? Almost everything I ordered was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I loved the red coconut sticky rice (xoi gac nuoc dua), pork rice rolls (banh cuon), sticky rice with shredded chicken + Chinese sausage (xoi lap xuong), and mung bean balls in ginger syrup. They were all delish! Sesame ball was big and tasty. Banh beo was a tad thick skinned (rice cake). Rice and pork pyramid dumplings (banh gio) filling was very savory, but I didn't care for the rice... kinda mushy. Glutinous rice with Chinese sausage didn't have much filling. Fried onion tofu and lemongrass tofu were very good and flavorful. By the way, I bought $60+ of foods on my way out from Portland, OR to San Francisco, CA. I enjoyed their foods that much LOL! Give BNT a try when you're in Portland, OR. I don't know when I'm going to return back there, but if I don't, have an extra order of everything for me LOL. Thank you and enjoy! Happy Tofu'ing! read more

I had order a food from Bùi Tofu's many times before. This was a terible customer service today at 3:40 as meeting. Good is super delicious. customer (van) service very bad...... read more

I have been going here for a decade. Hands down the best homemade tofu in town. They have green onion tofu, fried or fresh, and it is amazing! They also make salad rolls and serve them fresh for half the price of a restaurant. This place is a must try! read more

Incredible, fresh tofu in a variety of flavors. I can't believe it took me so long to try this place. Fast, friendly service and well worth the 30 minute drive. We will certainly be back! read more

I have been shopping here for years and am always met with the warmest welcome and gracious service. The food is always fresh because there is usually a long line buying as so as the food is ready. I appreciate the many vegetarian and vegan options they have. Do not leave without buying the sesame balls; they go well with a hot beverage. This is a take out only place so there is no seating available. read more

Portland OR. No sit down option. Everything is premade and grab and go. Lots of folks stop by for lunch and they seem to do pretty good turns on the food but I can't tell what has sat, and what has not. read more

Such a diamond! It's seldom I find good food and good value at the same time but this place has both. There's a reason why it's always busy but you will not be disappointed coming here. I had a hankering for spring rolls. They're not the plumpest but they are really very tasty. Come two to a pack and with peanut sauce. My daughter had the tofu ones. I also got a few fried egg rolls, thin and probably better when fresh but can hardly complain for $1 a piece. The fried tofu is awesome because makes cooking vegetarian dishes easy. I want to try other dishes on the menu. The variety, taste, efficiency and the price makes this place stand out. Easy to miss but definitely worth checking out. read more

Best tofu, spring rolls, and other treats in town! Lemongrass tofu and the sesame balls are a particular favorite.

I absolutely love coming here to grab some hard to find Vietnamese food. They typical have banh cuon if you go early enough. It seems to be a family owned business and everyone is more than helpful and kind. Service is super quick as this is a grab and go establishment. The egg rolls here are WONDERFUL btw, so don't forget to grab some as a snack. It is my go to place for some nostalgic Vietnamese food. read more

My mom and I come to Bui all the time and get the sekihan, spring rolls, sesame balls, and whatever else looks good that day for lunch. It always surprises me the business and loyalty that this shop gets, this can simply be attributed to its deliciousness, affordability, and authenticity. Definitely recommend coming by, this establishment is takeout only, however they do take credit cards! read more

Bui Natural Tofu - Outside - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Frequent fliers and highly recommended freshly made foods and great selection of drinks and bakery goods. A gem in our neighborhood.

I love this place. Several of their desserts are in my pantheon of greatest desserts of all time. I would give this place 5 stars if they just sold Chè Ba Màu and Bánh Cam. But their savory dishes are also great. And they are also sweet and patient, despite the long line that can develop. I will drive across town for this place. read more

Twice in one week ... Guess you could say things are gettin' pretty serious. I'm not quite ready to declare Bui's is my LaFawnduh, but this quick-food, deli-style, 15-year old Portland restaurant selling tofu and Vietnamese dishes just may be *the* best thing that has happened to tofu since The Book of Tofu went to press in 1975. You know what else is funny ... ok, finally funny? My favorite dish at Bui's Natural Tofu is Xôi Gà ($3.25) with glutenous Sticky Rice plus Chicken & sliced Pork and NOT tofu. A close second is the Tofu with Minced Pork listed on the menu simply as Pork Tofu ($3.75). My wife's favorite is probably the Lemongrass Tofu ($3.25). As you can see, the prices are very, very reasonable. Be prepared to order when entering the small store because the line moves quick. Also, note there is a tiny free parking lot across the small street if you can't snag a spot out front. Bui's Natural Tofu is not fancy, but it is quite busy (and successful) because it keeps making quick, deli-style tofu and Vietnamese food that's so good and cheap you just may go more than once a week. read more

Good foods. One very young women work behind the counter has bad attitude. I saw her hands back the old dollar bill to a customer. She said "we don't take old money, you can take it to the bank". I was shock. I thought that only happens in Vietnam. read more

Value for money is absolutely unmatched speedy, kind and yummy. Will be back soon to try the whole menu.

What a find this place is! We stopped on our way out of portland to get some food to take with us. I honestly bought too many items to list them all but everything was good and the prices were ridiculously good. It's super easy and quick too. You go in and everything is made and packaged. They have a list of items that you can choose from. Let them know what you want and they throw it all in a bag and you're back on the road with a bunch of great food within a couple of minutes. read more

Environment: Small and busy today but one side had bread, the other side there were drinks. In the middle where you pay there was also lots of Vietnamese small dishes. Staff: they were busy serving everybody Food: I actually had their tofu a billion times but never went to the store until now. I love their fried tofus! Must go! It's made freshly daily and for a reasonable price ($2 for original tofu). read more

Food was fresh and good. It's a Vietnamese deli. Not a lot of options but the food is fresh and good. You must try the dry shredded chicken sticky rice.

Love love love the pork rolls and tofu here!!! Very fresh and delicious! My go to whenI visit Oregon!

Deceptive people. They run out of products all the time, but when I ask when the product will be available again, they lie. They will tell you that the product will be back "next week" -- It happens all the time. I believe they intentionally lie to keep the customers coming again, in hopes that the product is back. They know that their vendor has pulled out and no longer making the same item. Just be honest! Your customers would appreciate that! Secondly, I have been over charged by these people countless number of times. I wish they stop over charging everyone as many of the reviews have indicated. Lastly, they have now trained their two younger workers (possibly daughters or nieces of the owners) to lie and cheat. This is a bad example to run a business. I don't care what generation Vietnamese you are, customers don't appreciate poor behavior. You've lost me as a customer forever! read more
