    Dau hu nuoc duong - silken tofu with a spicy, sweet ginger syrup ($2)
    Tiffany T.

    CASH ONLY. This is a little hidden gem right across from Duc Huong Sandwiches. I always come here while waiting for my banh mi order and grab a half gallon of soymilk ($4)! You can choose between sweetened (green cap) or unsweetened (orange cap). They make the soymilk fresh in house and it's always creamy, lightly sweet and very delicious! I've also tried their dau hu nuoc duong, also known as taho (filipino) or douha (chinese), which is essentially silken tofu with a spicy, sweet ginger syrup ($2 small, $4 large). SO GOOD HERE!! They also offer other various vegetarian meals to eat in house as well as fried tofu by the piece to snack on (lemongrass or green onion). Definitely a hidden gem I've been coming to for years!

    Spoiled soymilk

    Don't buy soy milk from this place. They sold spoiled soy milk. I didn't notice and drank a bit. I got food poisoning.

    Their noodle dishes arent bad. But this time around the rice was uncooked they gave me more rice than the sides.... sad. their banh bo was also very old and stale.

    Fried Tofu
    Gabriel G.

    Very good fried tofu. I like that they add lemongrass. They also fried the tofu to order which was great

    CASH ONLY, and NO ATM ON SITE. It's no wonder this spot has been around for so long. Just a classic Vietnamese cuisine inspired vegetarian takeout joint. I can't say all items are vegan but for sure, everything is vegetarian. Many of their items are made to look or at least have the texture of meat-like dishes, but are in fact made of soy, etc. The best part is that anything you order from here ACTUALLY tastes like the real deal -- savory and with all the right spices and seasonings. I was a Vegetarian for a while, and even a Vegan for a hot minute, and if I ever switched back to either of those diets -- this would be my go-to spot for all Vietnamese food cravings. Love supporting this locally owned small business!

    12$ 2 item combo w bamboo and string beans

    Been here at least 30y. Wide variety of hot steam table combo boxes. 2 Items where rice or noodles doesn't count as an item for $12. Lowest price/portion ratio in 2024. Low rent area on Story Road in older strip center. Hard to find; on end. The alley next to them used to have homeless sleeping there until they fenced it off with wrought iron fencing. I let the sweet cashier pick the items. Ended up trying a fried chicken made from tofu and sweet and sour veggie combo with pineapple. Bitter melon available in vegetarian version without the stuffed pork. Very unique and flavorful. Impossible to name all the items. There is no equivalent in any other place. Soups good for eat there. Fresh noodles and vegetables with vegetarian broth. No CWD prions unlike other places. Going to be a much bigger issue in the future with increasing cognitive decline.

    OMG. What happened to this place ? Overpriced & short changing like hell. No shame of exhibiting ultimate greediness while still hanging the Buddha pictures. Bought a medium curry with a few pieces of ingredients inside. Mostly the curry sauce. It's a ~6oz container and it costs a ridiculous $11.50. I can buy a full meal with that price already. But, guess what ? If you want the large size, it's $23. Go shop at other restaurants. Save your money on this.

    Loved their egg rolls

    Đông Phong Tofu is a small Vietnamese tofu shop located in an otherwise busy shopping plaza right across from McDonalds. Famous for its party tray, noodle soup, chow mein, egg rolls, combo lunch and tofu freshly made though it's mostly take-out orders though they do have a limited space for dine-in. I've been a regular customer for the past seven years and the staff are so attentive and very helpful even when it's crowded best to come by early than later. They have an extensive menu items posted on the wall and it's cash only. My favorites are the small Vietnamese pancakes (bánh khọt), vermicelli noodles, spring rolls and tofu. Prices have gone up over the years but, very reasonable more so than some of these high end Vietnamese restaurants. Bought two small size of stir-fried rice noodles (mì xào) and vermicelli noodles $5 each and the ladies are very generous with the portions so no cutting back. Parking is a real challenge on the weekends not so much on a Friday afternoon. By the way it's cash only policy.

    Bun thit nuong $13.50

    This place is a tasty vegan spot. I got a bowl with vermicelli and mock pork with vegetables. It was very tasty and fresh. I thought it came with spring rolls or rolls in the picture but it didn't come with it. That was a bit of a bummer but this was still filling. This is definitely more of a hole in the wall place.

    Half flat and vermicelli noodles. With stuffed bitter melon, imitation lemongrass chicken, and seaweed rolled imitation meat. So yum!
    Tina N.

    Ma and pa vegan shop. Cash only. This place is really hidden away. This place has last ever since I was a teen, glad to see it still standing. Haven't had the food in forever decided to try it again and I'm so glad I did. The dishes were as flavourful as I remembered. Will definitely be coming back to support this little gem. Tell me what you think.

Both items were so generous and actually fairly large! It also came with a side of their orange sauce for the rolls and fish sauce, veggies/herbs, and chilies on the side for guests who love spicy. Definitely larger portions and super affordable. We picked up the items 30 mins before our party started, and they were still fresh and crispy throughout the whole night! I was expecting the banh khot to get soggy/be soggy but it held up very nicely. I love the way they packaged everything and would 100% recommend for those who need easy finger food for their parties. Also ordering from them was very easy. I did it online a week in advance and they texted me at exactly 530p to let me know it was ready for pickup.

We've probably eaten here 50+ times with family and friends, and one thing I can say is that they are 100% consistent. We've never had a bad meal here. There's a great variety of Vietnamese dishes, so everyone can usually find something they like. The chả cá (fish) is one of their popular dishes and a favorite. They also have good chicken phở, broken rice, vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, roll-your-own options, and plenty of soups beyond phở. You can order individual dishes or share family-style, which makes it especially easy when coming with a group. It's very casual, family-friendly, quick, and straightforward--nothing fancy and probably not where I'd choose for a date night. But for a dependable meal with family or friends, it's a great spot. Kids like it, parents like it, and my mom likes it--which says a lot coming from an older Vietnamese person who knows her Vietnamese food! The staff is always efficient and nice, and after all these years, the food remains consistently good. The biggest downside is parking. The entire shopping center has become so busy with restaurants that finding a spot can be overwhelming, especially during peak hours. Also, keep in mind they do not take credit cards. Bring cash, or you can pay electronically through options such as Zelle/Venmo. Overall, this is one of those longtime neighborhood restaurants we keep coming back to because we know exactly what we're going to get: good Vietnamese food, plenty of choices, friendly service, and consistency.

I appreciated the comfortable space, cleanliness, friendly staff, and variety on the menu. I'd be open to coming back and trying something different next time.

    This is a review specifically for their new banh mi…read more I've wanted to see what a banh mi from Tay Ho would be like ever since I saw them with a tray of them for a special event a couple of years ago. After an expansion of the restaurant they finally have banh mi on the menu and it was worth the wait. First, the foundation of a good Vietnamese sandwich is the bread, and it did not disappoint. The outside was crusty and flaky - definitely going to have crumbs everywhere when you eat this. The bread was warm and the inside was soft, but they also hollowed out the bread to make more room for fillings. I had the bbq pork which is my go to for their bun (vermicelli rice noodle) and it's just as great here. Grilled, a bit sweet, a bit savory, and a hint of smokiness makes it the perfect match to balance the freshly pickled vegetables and pairs well with the cilantro and jalapeño. They used a minimal but sufficient amount of mayo and I don't like pate so I asked for that to be skipped. Don't come after me

They also expanded the menu and pretty much hit every Vietnamese staple you could think of. Tay Ho has always been known for their banh cuon, but the uncle told me they wanted to bring more Vietnamese options to the area for people who can't always make the drive down to SJ. I appreciate that as someone always wants Vietnamese food. The banh cuon hits as expected. We also tried the banh beo, and unfortunately that one was a miss for us. It looked promising, but the batter was a little too thick and the ratio of batter to toppings wasn't ideal. The table next to us got the banh xeo though, and that looked so gooddd. I'm getting that next time. Tay Ho, whether Santa Clara or SJ, is always in my rotation. Happy to see the Santa Clara location expanding and offering even more options!

The standout dish was the egg rolls. They arrived hot, golden brown, and perfectly crisp, with a satisfying crunch and a flavorful filling that made them the best part of the meal. The food, however, wasn't the reason for my rating. The restaurant's cleanliness left me concerned. I noticed cobwebs that appeared to have been hanging in place for a long time, along with dirt and grime collecting in corners throughout the dining room. Even the menus felt sticky, with a visible film of grease and small food particles still clinging to them. The faded print and worn condition made them look as though they hadn't been replaced in years. Those details created an impression of neglect that made it difficult to relax and enjoy the meal. With a thorough deep cleaning and some updated menus, this restaurant could create a much more welcoming dining experience. Until then, the cleanliness issues overshadow what was otherwise an average meal.
