    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    lemongrass tofu (i already ate half of it, great portions)
    Holder A.

    so, so , so yummy and fire, i tried it for the first time today, i got the salad tofu rolls, small tofu bites, lemongrass tofu, and fresh sweet soy milk. everything tasted absolutely amazing. it fed me all day and i still have leftovers for $16. it is so affordable and im so excited to go back and try more of their vegan options. the service was quick and i was inside and out very quickly, thank you!!

    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!

    Do they use lye? What are the ingredients in their tofu?

    Don't know. However, each Vietnamese family makes egg rolls differently. Some do have shrimp as an ingredient and others not. Know what? I will call and ask them... I will…

The egg noodle bowl on the top with fried chicken and tofu was phenomenal. The chicken was similar to fish sauce wings and the tofu was very caramelized and had a nice salty coating of sauce. The bottom was nem nướng and pork with the woven noodles. It was a very big portion, but the fresh herbs/veggies made it feel balanced. An order of spring rolls were also ordered, but wasn't in the photo. It was ordered with crispy pork belly. Based on some reviews, I was skeptical about ordering the pork belly, but I was pleasantly surprised. The skin was very crispy and you could hear the crunch from across the restaurant. The restaurant is very open with big windows, but I liked the concept of the open kitchen look. The service was really good. We ended up ordering pork belly and shrimp for our spring rolls and the worker politely came by and told us they were out of it. He was able to accommodate for it and was very kind about it.

It's a Vietnamese delicacy you can't find anywhere else in Oregon so I'm glad to have to a Portland restaurant to offer this. They give a plentiful amount of fresh herby veggies combo with fresh hot rice noodles alongside tender flavorful char siu and SUPER CRISPY pork belly! The staff are friendly and the store is extremely aesthetic, the interior has this spin on modern Vietnamese style of decorations. Great interiors that's won't disappoint your date. I absolutely recommend coming here for their niche Vietnamese food!

The pork had a great char, the shrimp were grilled well, and the crispy wrap added a nice textural crunch. Steamed broccoli was a fresh addition, and the side broth hit the spot. * The Pork Chops with Shredded Pork Skin (Bì) & Egg Meatloaf (Chả Trứng) plate was decent, though a bit average compared to other spots nearby. The flavors were fine, but nothing particularly stood out. * Noodle Soup: The spicy beef noodle soup had a rich, deep color and a generous amount of fresh herbs and onions, though the broth lacked a bit of the punch and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Overall: It's a convenient neighborhood option with generous portions and fast service, but given the quality of Vietnamese food along Powell and 82nd, it lands right in the middle for me. Good, but not quite a standout.
