Like their purple rice roll, too bad they only sell it on wed and sat!!! Only 4 stars because it's a little bit pricy and the cashier was very slow. There were at least 5-6 people ahead of me, and it took the guy 3-4 mins to serve one customer. Too long man.... Plenty parking. read more

This is awesome!!! Authentic Taiwanese breakfast right off the freeway. Delicious cabbage meat buns. Little shop just for takeout. You pick what you want yourself and bring it to checkout, quite like the Taiwanese bakeries except with cold noodles, assorted buns, pan seared buns, zhongzi, pig ears, all the classics. Saturday they have fresh Chinese donuts too. read more

Love this place. Wonderful, pork baos, sticky rice wraps, red bean baos, pastries and Chinese donuts. I work nearby at a big, Magenta-themed business and this is my go-to lunch place. I can have a nice satisfying lunch for $6. Reading the reviews, I'll have to try it for breakfast one of these days. read more

Came on Saturday around 1pm and the chinese donut was sold out already. Egg tart was ok although the pie was a bit too thick for my taste. The sticky rice was too bland for me. The almond tofu pudding was not as fine as what I used to have. From all I tried only the sweeten soy milk that made me would come back again, and I'm still curious of their chinese donut. read more

The food is amazing here. The fresh pork and rice bowl is the best a long with some tofu pudding to finish up your meal! I'll be stopping by here a lot on my lunch breaks. read more

Tofu 101 - The food is amazing here. Finished the pork and rice bowl in 2 min! - Chinese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

They got awesome Taiwanese breakfast and food. Definitely worth trying. Great food with great ingredients. Have to come at least once a week or can't feel right lol read more

Love their Chinese donuts and purple rice balls. A great spot to pick up some fresh and traditional Chinese/Taiwanese breakfast.

Must try Chinese donut and Purple rice roll with pork floss here! (Saturday only) homemade Tofu product are also good. Take out order only read more

I only go here for their fresh Chinese doughnuts, but gezzz the wait for them is forever. The line is out the door. U need to get there early right when they open. The doughnuts are made fresh, so they bring out a few at a time. read more

Authentic taste and really fresh! It's a small deli so just take good to go. It seems pretty unique in the area. Nice location having a shopping square and other food stores around it. read more

We are the regular customers. Go there almost every Saturday. Sticky rice rolls are good. Chinese doughnuts are always very fresh. My daughter loves their pork green onion bun. read more

Good for health- Tofu products are healthy, first of all, is worth one star. In this area there are just junk food places like McDonald's and Burger kings, or meaty restaurants like Steaks Houses, this restaurant is just GREAT for me. Take-out - I eat products from this restaurant nearly everyday but honestly I have only tried take-outs. Even so, the quality of its food is excellent I would say. I love the sweetened soy milk, the dumplings and the steamed taro cakes and etc. read more

Loved the pork buns, sticky rice with pork, egg, shiitake mushroom and bamboo shoot. Chinese donut was very fresh though not the best I've ever had (it was in China, of course) but pretty close, and that's meant as a compliment. I would totally come back again! read more

5 stars for the i-dont-know-what-its-called thingie that's like a log. wither a zong zi or bao zi.. oh heck, it taste like ba cang (that's what we call it in indonesia-singapore-malaysia); taste 80% similar to my granma's. pork, chinese sausage, preserved egg, and peanuts. only difference was that my granma's are the best! hahaha! te thing is, they do not have as much meat in the "thing". actually, it's not a direct comparison, there is the pyramid one that i did not try and i think that one will taste the same like my grandma's (contains the same things - shitake, pork, egg, blah blah...) also got the sweetened soy milk, various pastries, and of course -YOU THIAOSSS! the soy milk was light, not too sweet nor too thick. usually if i drink those from the supermarket, i'd have lots of phlegm/mucus on my throat that makes me want to puke. the pastries, i only tried the one with lotus paste in it cause i'm full! it was nice too, flaky and not too sweet. the you thiao.. well, it's so-so.. i suspect they fried it in old oil.. cause its super greasy and i can taste the oil (which is not good). but the fact that i can get asian breakfast like this, i'm pretty happy! oh, i forgot.. i got the pork bun too... aint the greatest IMO.. i never like this types of buns, i like BBQ pork-filled buns. the skin is rather thick but it's not too bad. they also have various fillings available too... no tables/chairs or whatever. at least they provided shopping baskets tho... one suggestion i'd have is that if they have counters to eat your food, that'd be great! also, for accepting debit cards here, 101 gets a 5-star!! read more

I think one of the most endearing things about this store is that it's a mom and pop shop. A lot of the things you get at the supermarket just don't tastes as good as things that are handmade and fresh. That's one of the strongest selling points in regards to Tofu 101. I think their most underrated dish are the cold noodles. Most of the restaurants that serve the dish don't have the right flavors in terms of the sauce. They get it right. Also, they recently started selling something new that I've never had before, and I have to say it's simply phenomenal. I've never had egg custards that are so distinct and creamy. The chocolate custards are the best. Most egg custards you get at dim sum are very gelatinous or at western bakeries are too sweet. These are something entirely different. Tofu 101 is great because 1). it's cheap, and 2.) the food is authentic. read more

Their youtiao (Chinese donut) is actually better than many of restaurants in southern China today. The reason is that they make it fresh and serve immediately. Their is no seat so you have to wait in the long queue and take to home. read more

Reading about Tofu 101 on Yelp, I thought it was a restaurant. (Why else would the fields about seating, reservations, ambiance, and noise level be filled in?) It's not a restaurant, though--it's a bakery/deli. I.e., there is no seating. You can't eat in. You can only take out. Can someone correct that in the listing? Delicious Taiwanese breakfast food (zongzi, shaobing, youtiao, warm soy milk), but since I was expecting to come in and sit down to eat, I was a little disappointed. Stupid Yelp! read more

If you're part of the taiwanese folk, this is your place for breakfast. Unfortunately it isn't offered every day, but heading in on a nice saturday morning for shao bing you tiao is super reminiscent of life in taiwan. food is absolutely amazing and best of all, always fresh and hot. read more

I had their freshly made pork bun for lunch today. YUM. Definitely worth the $1.50 I paid for it. They also had cabbage & pork buns. However, I was sorely disappointed that they only serve their other hot offerings on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I will have to make another trip to complete my experience. This is just a little grab and go place with a ton of frozen goodies (dumplings, zong zi (sweet & salty & w/ egg)!, tofu, etc) and other great dishes that you can bring home and heat up. I also saw liang mian (cold noodles), white fungus dessert, you tiao (chinese doughnuts), soy milk, green tea soy milk (they ran out :() and other cold side dishes such as pig ears, seaweed, bamboo, etc. Great little place and they take credit cards! read more

I really like this place! Tofu and rice ball remind me the taste of home.

This shop is right next to Quiznos in Factoria. When I went to the store, they offered several varieties of fried tofu, including veggie and chili, and the nice store lady let my try all of them. At three dollars a pound, the fried tofu here is not only delicious and healthy but also a steal and light on your wallet. They also sell a bunch of other soy products, like tofu blocks for about a dollar, soymilk, tofu pudding, and dried tofu. Apparently, all the tofu in this shop is made by this MASSIVE soybean grinding machine in the back. Conveniently, there is a large plexiglass (?) mirror that lets you see them make the tofu with the machine. It's quite fascinating to watch. Everything in the shop is sparkly clean- it just opened - and everything in there looks high quality and is made fresh. I highly recommend this shop, especially to vegetarians who need protein! read more

No frills Chinese deli/bakery with tasty authentic food and crazy turnover. Best tactic? Come as a group of two - one person to stand in the cashier line, the other to grab food. Note: you will have to battle with other customers to get fresh youtiao and shaobing, buns will rotate in favors as they sell out each different batch within minutes of being set out. To get the purple rice roll, you have to ask for it at the front of the cashier's line. A great deal for food - 6 buns, 2 shaobing, 1 tray of sticky rice, 1 sweet soy milk, all for about $16. The flavors are pretty authentic Taiwanese, I'm pleased to stay. read more

Great little deli to pick up and go. Got the cold noodle salad, sticky rice, and shaved beef shank. All were delightful.

This lace has great, authentic Taiwanese food. I also know that the food has no icky preservatives because if you don't eat their tofu a couple days after you buy them, it does start to mold. I go here all the time for tofu and other Taiwanese treats. It does get crowded on the weekends in the morning though. My favorite items are their purple rice roll, which you have to ask for at the checkout area, and their soymilk. read more

I have shop there several times, and randomly found the drunken chicken, it was so good, but ever since then, I have not had the luck again, they said they don't make it anymore! read more

I have been meaning to try this place forever and finally got around to it this Wednesday when I remembered that was one of the only days they serve their purple rice roll. Sure enough, the food didn't disappoint. It's nice to find a place that serves traditional Taiwanese breakfast food. Prices are fair. read more

Can't say this is the best Taiwanese breakfast place I've been to. Looks like it's the only one in the area. But given that, it has the basics. The pork bun wasn't as flavorful as I'd like, and the rice rolls (飯糰） don't have a good ratio of pickled cabbage to other stuff. The almond tofu was good. Maybe I'm biased because I've had huge tree pastry in LA and actual breakfast in Taiwan, but I'll say it can be better. Jiayou people read more

This review is only for their tofu and soy bean items. Bought the sweetened soy milk and it was slightly sweet but not enough soy bean flavor. I expect to have a rich soy bean flavor as some other tofu place. We bought four ready-to-eat items : regular tofu dessert and the almond flavored tofu dessert (both just ok and had not enough soy bean flavor, the sliced preserved tofu was okay and the gluten one was horrible because the flavor didn't get into the center of the gluten and it was tough in the center (worst I ever had). I would rather drive a little farther to Northwest Tofu on Jackson St in Seattle (their soy milk and tofu items are very good and fresh). read more

Best hometown Chinese breakfast takeout around. Be prepared for a wait in line. But the best steam buns are at 99 Ranch in Renton.

Favorite sticky rice balls, garlic chicken and silken tofu. I try hard to not stop by when I'm in the area, I end up eating everything in less then a day. But, down home authentic Chinese food without any pretense is magic. And super simply yummy read more

If i'm not in the mood for Seabell bakery, I go next door to Tofu 101 for a quick pickup for lunch! Around 11, they have their fresh homemade baos ready in the steamers for you to pick and choose from. They usually have 4 or 5 different kinds of baos and my favorite is the regular pork! They also have fresh hot soymilk which is delicious! Tastes just like how my mom used to make it! Also, their cold section is stocked with frozen baos and dumplings so you can take home and steam/pan fry yourself. Their cold bean curd, beef tendons, noodle salads, and pig ears are delicious as well. :) read more

tofu-reakin DELICIOUS! i don't loveee tofu, but i tried their dried tofu (dou fu gan) because 1) free samples! 2) the owners were really nice and kept offering. i ended up walking out of there with a half gallon of fresh unsweetened soy milk, three chinese donuts (you tiao), and a just-out-of-the-oven shao bing (which they currently only offer on saturdays). the soy milk was soo good :) freshly made, and a little thicker than northwest tofu's. the chinese donuts were lighter too. shao bing was nice and flaky, and delicious with my chinese donuts for breakfast the next day. overall, great taiwanese products in a small, non-fussy shop. the prices are a little more expensive than ID, but definitely worth dropping by if you live on the south or east side. read more

I love coming to this place for some spicy tofu and bean curd. It's convenient for me since I work right up the hill, so I just walk down to get my tofu fix. The workers are very friendly and they have delicious pork baos and other goodies as well and the prices are fair. read more

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, and in addition to their tofu products, they have some prepared foods for sale. The Chinese donut was just ok, but I liked the sticky rice. The hot soy milk was good, as well as the almond tofu (not too sweet). I will have to stop by again to load up on more soy and tofu products when I am in the area. read more

Is it bad if I'm reviewing this place but have never actually tried the tofu? No, because they have awesome little Taiwanese snacks and breafasty foods like chinese doughnut with soy milk that reminds me of my mom's. They also have sau bing (sesame pancake), zhong zi (sticky rice wrapped in bambaoo), bao zi (steamed bun filled with pork/cabbage), tsong yo bing (green onion pancake). Ive tried all of the above minus the zhong zi, and I've loved all of them. The food reminds me of my childhood. The only thing that has been iffy is the egg tarts. The pastry is good but the custard is hit or miss. Next time I'm definitely picking up some bottled soy milk and fresh tofu! read more

This place is not bad, I get stuck eating nothing but Chinese food when I go to Washington for work, this is one of the better places I've been to. Some of the rice dishes are hit or miss, there's much better options in the bay area. Their sticky rice rolls are good, they use purple rice. The buns are good, I usually buy extra to eat at the hotel at night. read more

I don't know what's so good about this place. I was so excited to try it since they have a lot of good reviews. But honestly it's not that good. Some of the things here you could buy it at any Asian market and it taste exactly the same. read more

Friendly service and great tasting tofu. My wife loves it.

I still love this place. They have the best soft tofu. My only complaint is that they their new batch of tofu is usually not ready until later in the afternoon (and its a hit or miss if they still have the previous day's batch of tofu). We also buy their steamed pork bun which is awesome! If they have the freshly made ones, those are the best. They also have some in the refrigerator section which I usually freeze when I bring them home. The owner is also really nice. read more

Soy milk I had was fresh and delicious. The young man behind the counter was very friendly and also very handsome. He had a smokin' body. He was also fresh and delicious. Tofu was cheap and great to cook with in my soondoobu (korean tofu soup)! read more
