This little tofu and snack shop is an absolute gem. They make their tofu completely from scratch, and you can really taste the freshness in everything they offer. One of the highlights is their soy pudding, which comes in small, medium, or a huge gallon-sized bucket. We went all in and bought the big bucket for $18 CAD -- totally worth it. The restaurant itself is small with just a few tables, but the food speaks for itself. Along with tofu and soy pudding, they also sell a great selection of dim sum-style snacks and several varieties of soy milk, including regular, black bean, and ginger. Everything feels homemade and thoughtfully prepared. Parking is conveniently available right in front of the restaurant, making it easy to stop by. If you love fresh tofu, comforting soy pudding, or unique snacks, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

好好豆品 (Excellent Tofu & Snacks Ltd) in Central Square, right between Aberdeen Centre and Parker Place, is one of those spots I keep going back to. I always get their tofu pudding, both hot and cold depending on the day, and their freshly made rice rolls are a must. It is kind of amazing that they have been around for two to three decades and are still going strong. They have also expanded the menu now, so you can add different toppings to your tofu pudding, which makes it even better. read more

Excellent Tofu & Snacks - Tofu with red bean and boba - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

We come here most of the time when we're in Richmond BC. Warm tofu pudding with soba and ginger syrup is something we grew up as children. They do this well here, including one with coconut milk and cold mango pudding. They have different varieties, but this is mainly what they serve. Although, they have other snacks. The place is one elongated space with a few tables and a long counter bar. It's a little divey in feel. Usually, there's only one or 2 persons working. They're very fast, efficient and no nonsense. This is not fine dining, but what they do, they do best. read more

We have been patronizing this place for ages. Tofu is the only thing sold here but in various forms and ways. Really good. You order your tofu - plain, 1 topping or more. Choose hot or cold. The person scoops it out and then serves it. You may also do a take out order. A long counter and table on the side for dine in. Pay when you are done. read more

If you like dou fu fa, come here! I grew up eating the hot version with just ginger syrup every Sunday with my grandma during dim sum :) Such a nostalgic feeling eating a bowl. They also have cold versions with lots of toppings that I didn't know you could eat with tofu like savory versions with pickled vegetables and green beans. Cash or debit only as well but they take USD! Would come back read more

If you're looking for a fresh tofu dessert, this place will hit the spot. The guy working wasn't super friendly but was able to get me what I needed. I ordered the black sesame and the taro warm tofu dessert. Get the ginger syrup. It's the best out of the three options. Nothing special here that stood out or would result in me coming back anytime soon. But if I'm in the area and don't mind the crazy parking situation, I may come back and pick up again. read more

It is indeed excellent. We got the tofu with black sesame and taro and really where can you go wrong with that. The bowl was heaping and everything tasted so light and fresh. As we were eating so many people were going in and out buying soymilk and tofu to go. If we weren't going to be out for so much longer we totally would've too. Great afternoon snack. read more

Must try if you like tofu pudding! It's a hole in the wall shop run by an older couple who are constantly churning out fresh soy milk and tofu behind the counter. The soy milk itself was a little more watery than I like, but still a nice treat to get it fresh made. Would be better if it was cooked down a little to thicken. The tofu pudding though is creamy and worth the visit by itself. They have squeeze bottles of ginger syrup so you can control the flavor and sweetness. We brought our custard tarts from Lido next door and ate them here with our tofu pudding and fresh soy milk. Highly recommend. read more

Fresh tofu pudding located in Richmond, bc. Parking: free limited space, you can park at aberdeen center parking garage and then walk across. We beat the rush. We got the table all the way inside. The seating is very limited. They only have few tables and seating at the counter. You can also see the menu on the qr code on the table. We ordered: Herbal jelly Soy milk + red bean Cold tofu + fresh taro Hot tofu + black sesame. They all come unsweetened. You can add brown sugar, liquid clear sugar, or ginger liquid brown sugar they provided on the table. read more

Super soft and silky tofu fa! I took my grandma who is visiting from Indonesia here since we ate it a lot growing up, and she loved it. The tofu taste was mild and the ginger syrup added a perfect sweetness and warmth. We had to get the 1L tofu fa to go after to share with everyone at home. We ordered the plain one this time but they have a variety of fun toppings that you can choose to add. They also sell soymilk drinks, puddings and non-soy snacks! A perfect spot to get your quick fix of tofu pudding or to stay for a mid day snack ! Upon entering the store, you feel like you're transported to Asia, with the minimal decor, old-school seating area, and the smell of soybeans! read more

Not that flavorful and somewhat pricey. The tofu was nice and soft but the toppings didn't really add anything to the dish. They did give it a change in texture but there was no flavor to it. Maybe that's how most of their customers enjoy it, but I didn't like it that much. read more

I love, love, love this spot! Walking in, you immediately take in the aroma of the soy beans. The tofu pudding is silken smooth and such great comfort food, eaten hot, with a splash of the ginger syrup provided in bottles by the tables. I got the tofu pudding with peanuts today, which was good, but I think I'd get the tofu pudding by itself in the future for zero distractions from the excellent tofu pudding. The soy milk is yummy too - a good consistency with deep flavors. Situated in a plaza just across the street from the Aberdeen Center, Excellent Tofu & Snacks fit it's namesake -- truly excellent! It's not a big shop, with several tables on one side, and a few bar seating on the other. It seems many come here for takeaway orders. I appreciate the folks here too - all delightful and easy-going. We especially enjoyed the old gentleman who's the master "chef" of Excellent Tofu & Snacks; he's funny and comes across as someone who takes pride in his creations. We just missed him today, but hope to see him next time we visit Vancouver....or we might just go back before we leave Vancouver this time! Between the vibe, the people, and the yummy tofu pudding & soy milk, it felt like we've stepped through a door straight into a shop in Hong Kong. It's a spot we will definitely visit every time we come to Vancouver. read more

You know this is a solid spot if my fam had to visit twice in our 4-day Vancouver trip. Their tofu pudding is possibly the smoothest we have ever tried in North America. Every bowl is stacked with layers of light and silky soy tofu pudding, drizzled with toppings of your choice. I love getting a plain tofu pudding (白糖豆腐花) and add a scoop of yellow sugar on top. Black sesame paste (黑芝麻豆腐花) also adds a nice nutty flavor to the soy pudding. On top of their signature soy pudding and soy milk, they serve multiple nostalgic savory street snacks like pan fried tofu (尖釀豆腐), sticky rice rolls (粢飯), vegetarian gluten (三色齋) and curry fishball (咖喱魚蛋). read more

We don't see stand alone tofu shops that often so we had to stop by for our after dinner dessert. We were greeted upon entering and being first timers he gave us a quick overview and highlighted some popular choices. As a result, we decided to eat on site. There was limited seating but it was quiet on a week night. We tried the plain plus sesame, tapioca and red bean topped tofu puddings. Each was scooped out steaming hot from the pot and filled each bowl. syrup containers were on the tables and the ginger syrup was the best. We thoroughly enjoyed the bowls as the hot, silky soft tofu warmed our tummies and tasted so good. We settled our bill when we left. I paid cash but it looked like they accepted credit cards as well. Staff also thanked us again for coming. Highly recommended. read more

No frills location for tofu pudding. They offer both hot and cold tofu pudding with a variety of toppings. If you're looking for a drink they also have soymilk beverages. Unfortunately our group did not bring enough cash with us so we we were only able to try a few items on the menu. There is counter seating available and some tables if you want to dine in. read more

One of the main reasons why I wanted to take my kids to Richmond was to give them a taste of what my dad, who grew up in Hong Kong, used to enjoy when he was younger. One of the stories he'd share was of tofu shops just like Excellent Tofu & Snacks, which specializes in, unsurprisingly, tofu! Super casual spot - mainly a couple diner stools with 2 folks working behind the counter, scooping tofu (also have grass jelly) with a couple options for toppings (our favorite was boba) served hot or cold. We also tried their savory snacks and wished we had room for their fruit puddings but perfect for another time. Feels like you're transformed into a hole in the wall shop in Hong Kong, seems like this is a popular tofu to go spot too (dedicated parking lot makes it convenient) read more

Old school but in a nostalgic good way! I've come here sporadically over the last 25 years and nothing has changed including the silky tofu desserts! Lots of variations to try. Add in the simple syrup on the table to taste. I prefer the brown one. Put on some retro'70's music in your headphones and warp back in time. read more

**July 2024: Thursday Afternoon Visit** During my brief Richmond stay I made it a point to try as many Asian restaurants in the area as I could. This Tofu stop was on my list and also walking distance from my hotel (Raddison). So my mom and I took a brief walk over to check it out. It's located in a small strip mall and had had a couple of fridges full of tofu and soy products. So if you're interested in authentic Chinese food that's not too sweet this will certainly hit the spot. They do have an English menu if your Mandarin isn't fluent. Additionally they have handmade snacks like turnip cake, potstickers, and marinated eggs, if you want something more savory. On my trip my mom, aunt and I tried three different types of cold puddings. I did basil seed, red bean, and grass jelly. We enjoyed them! They accept USD and Canadian dollars! read more

Literally the best tofu spot I've ever been too.. I won't even front. It's a little bit on the pricier side but you won't get tofu dessert like this in the states. Tofu itself was sooo silky.. the house made sugar syrup, brown sugar syrup, granulated Rock sugar and brown sugar had such a different natural taste to it. I literally drenched every bite in the granulated rock sugar as it just had a clean sweet taste to it.. In the states we often use high fructose corn syrup and it can be so sweet to the point where it feels like your throat is being coated in sugar. For example drinking a slurpee with refined sugars or drinking too much of any sodas will give you the same feeling. Service was quick as hell and the ambiance here is definitely one of those spots where you come in for a quick 10 min dessert and bounce. read more

They make all their tofu products in house, so cool to see them making it as you walk in. Service is friendly and there isn't much to their decor. You really just go for the food. They have a wide variety of toppings you can add to your tofu, but my favorite is plain with a little sugar and almond syrup. We got their sticky rice with pork floss and Chinese donut, Siu mai, curry fish balls, radish cake and their Shanghai style soy pudding with Chinese donut and pickled mustard plant. Out of the all the snacks, the sticky rice and radish cakes were the best, the rest were only and not highly recommended. The highlight was definitely the hot tofu dessert. The tofu is incredibly fresh and smooth. Can't wait to go back and try their other flavours. Cash/debit only read more

30 years old business for tofu related products, from soy milk to tofu puddings, you name it, they have it. They have many different options of tofu pudding add-on options (sesame, red beans, barley, and many more), they even have mango tofu puddings and ovaltine flavors. Staffs are super helpful and friendly, chat with them and you will learn all the histories of the Richmond area and how their business lasted so long given everything else is changing. A must visit if you are like me, a fan of soybean products. read more

I love Chinese traditional desserts so I was super stoked to try this place! It's a small ma and pop shop with a wide selection of soy inspired desserts. I tried the regular soymilk, ginger soymilk, mango pudding, and sesame paste tofu pudding (best served warm). The tofu pudding was smooth, fresh, and very nostalgic. I always think about family dinners when I eat doufufa :') The desserts are not too sweet which I love, but if you want more sweetness then the tables have extra condiments like sugar water, brown sugar, and ginger syrup to add to your liking. The inside is a bit small, but the workers were friendly and accommodating. We had a big group and they were able to seat us all together. I would definitely come back again! Btw, this place only accepts cash. read more

Tofu pudding was delicious along with the ginger syrup! Service was great. Didn't feel rushed to look over the menu.

Great place for fresh tofu, both savory and sweet, and they also have soy milk. If you're not sure what to get, for something Savory, try the Shangi Style Soy Pudding. The sweet items are also good, but they're a lot more similar to stuff you'll find on the menu at random Asian restaurants around town. The parking lot here doesn't really have enough spots for the businesses here, so if you can get here without driving, that's the easiest way to do it a lot of the time. read more

After a nice hot pot dinner we stumbled upon this gem that we found on yelp. They are known from their hot tofu soup. You can add topping if you like here and they have other menu items on here but they are known for their tofu soup. The staff here is very nice and welcoming. They have ginger syrup on the side if you want to add some on there but tasting this on a nice cold raining saturday sure hits the spot read more
