If fresh tofu products are something you're craving, then you're in luck! At a strip mall on Valley Blvd with cramp parking is a business bustling with folks lined up and out the door. They've got a whole host of fine Vietnamese food, though my family and I enjoy stopping by for the fried tofu and tofu pudding. It seems other folks who visit often order in advance for pick up. Recently I ordered six servings of tofu pudding. The man behind the counter spoke with me using Cantonese, and once the order was placed worked deftly to package all the pudding into plastic to-go containers along accompanied with six smaller containers full of ginger syrup. Expertly, the plastic bags also had a cardboard as a base for the containers to minimize the chance of spillage. When I mentioned wanting to use a credit card, he balked at the idea since there's a surcharge, but I laughed and said it was okay. Visit early since lots of items are sold out after a while. read more

The customer service person is not too friendly. Maybe because we are not Vietnamese ppl since I noticed that their usual customers already know what they prefer when they stepped into the store. Onward to try another tofu store. read more

I actually come here pretty often, mainly for the fried mushroom tofu. For about $5 you get a box with probably 15+ pieces which I think is a great deal and it's pretty tasty. I usually just toss it in the air fryer at home, make a quick nuoc cham, and it turns into a really solid snack or light meal. They also sell a bunch of premade Vietnamese foods similar to what you'd find at other Vietnamese spots around the SGV. I also sometimes get their fried bananas. They add sesame seeds into the batter which I like because it gives it a nice flavor, but they can be a bit soggy. One thing I've noticed is if you come later in the day the tofu is usually sold out, so it's better to come earlier if you want it. Customer service here isn't the friendliest, but the tofu is really good so I keep coming back. 5 stars for the tofu. read more

V K Food Products - Not just tofu they have a nice selection of goodies - Delis Near Me - Rosemead, California

I was looking for Jong, which is sweet rice wrapped in tea leaf and mixed with pork belly thousand year egg and beans. Dim Sum restaurants have it untied, but I like to steam my own. This store had a variety of these rice tamales and almost anything from Asia can be found here, especially tofu. The wrapping of the Jong was not with cotton twine or string, but an elastic looking cloth that reminded me of a strap. I'm not sure how it's going to steam, but will likely take the elastic string off and replace with cotton, in case there are chemicals in the material. Service was fast, but I had a hard time understanding the cashier say $19.50 for three... read more

V K Food Products - Frontage - Delis Near Me - Rosemead, California

I almost want to gate keep this spot. V K Foods sell a variety of fresh daily made soy products and their prices are beyond reasonable. Their fried tofu is extremely popular and their fresh soy tofu pudding with the ginger syrup sells out quickly in the morning, so you have to act fast to score that. I come here to grab the one gallon fresh soymilk which is only $5! You'll pay the same amount at a big box Asian grocery store for a half gallon of mass-produced pasteurized stuff that doesn't compare to the quality, value and taste that V K Foods provides. This is a small business that you won't regret supporting! read more

I've been wanting to get Nem Chua for a while and popped by this place. It's a small packed parking lot but I got lucky Nem chua is good but I can't compare I got honeycomb pandas bread which is always good Fried banana was the shit it's sooooooo good and the lady told me to air fry it at home so they're crispy and it's even better. Can't wait to come again and try something new! read more

This is my go-to spot for tofu! It reminds me so much of the craft tofu shops I grew up with in OC, but right here in the San Gabriel Valley. They offer a great variety of grab-and-go options, both vegetarian and with meat--think spring rolls, noodles, and stir-fries. I especially love their fresh soy milk, which you can buy by the carton either unsweetened or sweetened. They're also well known for their mushroom fried tofu, and you can get generous portions in bulk at a very affordable price. Just a heads up: bring cash, as there's a fee for each card transaction. Please support this amazing small business--you won't regret it! read more

I had a very disappointing experience at V K Food recently. I came in specifically to buy a gallon of hot, fresh sweet soy milk. The product I wanted was literally sitting on the shelf directly in front of the employee at the register. When I asked for it, he repeatedly told me to get the cold soy milk from the refrigerator against the wall instead. I explained multiple times that I wanted the hot, fresh soy milk that was right in front of him. Instead of listening, he continued insisting that I take the refrigerated one. After several minutes of arguing over something that should have taken seconds, I felt pressured into buying a product I did not want. The most frustrating part was that the item I requested was within arm's reach the entire time. Rather than providing the product I specifically asked for, the employee chose to argue with a paying customer and make a simple purchase unnecessarily difficult. The attitude I received came across as dismissive, arrogant, and completely indifferent to customer satisfaction. Good customer service starts with listening to customers. If a customer requests a product that is available, there should not be a debate about it. There are plenty of places throughout Southern California that sell similar products. Businesses should never assume customers have no other options. I support businesses that treat customers with respect, and unfortunately that was not my experience here. Unless customer service improves, I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I'm so happy I found this place on Yelp that opened early. I wanted to get cold tofu pudding, but the tofu place in Monterey Park closed on Tuesday. This V K Food Products is located on Valley Blvd. inside of a strip plaza in Rosemead. I like they have many tofu selections and Vietnamese desserts. I bought the cold tofu pudding and a BBQ meatloaf plate. However, the cold tofu pudding wasn't smooth enough. The meatloaf plate tasted okay but the meat quantity was tiny and they were cut into very thin slices. The price was reasonable. They accept credit cards and debit cards but they will add a 5% extra charge on each transaction. read more

I guess it's more popular than boba shops or fancy purses. I have to wait in line outside just to get in LOL. Wanted to try their famous tofu It comes in small box with 12 pieces of warm fried non crispy tofu for $2. Mushroom tofu same- 10 pieces It's actually very very tasty tofu. Good to use toward ah-sone-thote or salad mix. Or soups. Or just snacking read more

After our go to spot for fresh tofu was sold out we drove over to VK to try theirs. It was surprisingly busy that afternoon. Parking lot was full but we found a spot on the street in front. Besides the fresh tofu we pulled out of the refrigerator, they had many tofu options, Banh mi sandwiches and other Vietnamese dishes. At the counter the cashier informed us if we got one more then we would qualify for a free tub. Very nice of her. After paying in cash she also included two small tubs of a very gingery syrup. Overall the plain and Pandan were not as smooth as we like but was a decent substitute for our cravings that day. read more

Wow, didn't realize how popular tofu pudding was! Came here around 3pm and there weren't anymore left except for Pandan tofu. It was my first time trying it and it was pretty good! Not as silky as the one I go to but this place will do for me. Great price and lots of goodies too! read more

V K Food Products - Summer sale on tofu pudding But 5 get one free - Delis Near Me - Rosemead, California

I've never wanted to gatekeep a place so much. It's still under the radar and has all the charm you could want. If you like fresh tofu, soy milk, and soy pudding, go here now. I'm not sure who makes the various products or where they are made. It might or might not be made onsite by those people working there. What matters to me is the "when." At V K Food Products, it is always very recently. Sometimes it was just made seconds earlier. Maybe in the morning, it is from the night before. I can't say that I care, detect any difference, or have asked. I can guarantee it will be some of the freshest soy milk, tofu, or soy pudding you've ever had. I've tried a few of the other items each time I come here. They have all been delicious. Many items are buy five get one free or something. Whether it's a good deal, who can say? Still, it's an excuse to stock up. I am always surprised by my total bill. It is usually a third of what I expect. They have some fresh-cooked food and many room-temperature options. Some are vegetarian, but many have shrimp or pork. The first time I came here, they had packaged eggplant and tofu that I have looked for every time since. If V K Foods reads this, please make it again. It's a small store with many people, but everyone is always nice, friendly, and helpful. I'm seeing much of this stuff for the first time; luckily, they have many signs explaining what things are. (Please, V K Foods, say thanks to whoever made those signs for me. I bought some of my favorites the first time, using those signs.) The staff are also willing to answer questions, no matter how rushed they are. If you like tofu, go here. It was likely made hours before. It is some of the best tofu in the LA area, at a fraction of the cost of other similar places I go. The other places are great too. However, the great service and subtle welcoming atmosphere here make it a standout and one of my current favorite places. Shoot, am I overselling it? It is a small, busy shop selling tofu, soy milk, soy pudding, and many other sweet and savory items. Also, never change the sign; "V K Food Products" is hard to remember, but it is the best name ever. You should sell t-shirts. read more

This spot serves fresh soy products such as tofu, tofu pudding, and soy milk as well as other vietnamese togo food items. My mom used to take me here as a kid and their soy milk was always the best. This time i went back to try their other foods. I ordered the pandan tofu pudding, which came with a syrup. It tasted freshly made and smooth. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth without being overly sweet or heavy. I also ordered their coconut jelly which was also refreshing and light. I also tried their shredded pork skin spring rolls and fermented pork rolls. The spring roll came in three and it was filling. The pork roll was tasty and i liked how there were no big pepper corn pieces. Parking was in a small lot and there were some customers coming in and out. The items were relatively cheap, many probably less than $10. It's definitely a great spot if you need to pick up a quick lunch. read more

I always go there to buy my lunch for special occasions about 3-6 times every year. Easy to eat, no need to heat avoiding the microwave requirement. Price isn't too bad.

*** 5% Extra Charge on Credit Card & Debit Card Transaction *** I am still a bit traumatized by their bánh mì from almost three years ago, but this place has slowly become my go-to spot for fresh unsweetened soy milk. It is interesting that the cashiers always remind me, 'This is unsweetened and not sweetened soy milk,' every time I purchase it. [Parking]: Small free parking lot and parking shouldn't be an issue. [Amenities]: It is take-out only and customers will need to eat in their cars, This shop doesn't have any indoor seating. [Products]: 1/2 gallon unsweetened soy milk ($3) are located near the front entrance. Customers will need to ask the cashier if they want a gallon of unsweetened soy milk ($5 - located behind the counter). Their signature fried mushroom tofu is priced at $2 for 10 pieces and the fried tofu is $2 for 12 pieces. They also offer a variety of Vietnamese grab-and-go food at the counter. [Conclusion]: I am slowly coming around and becoming a fan of this mom-and-pop shop as long as I steer clear of their bánh mì sandwiches. Try to stop by right after their 8 AM opening for the freshest soy milk. read more

A friend recommended this little store that sells a lot of tasty treats, not just tofu products. They had a lot of desserts from puddings, flan, rice cakes, sweet drinks and more. They also offered pre-made dishes with their tofu and meat loaf products including fresh spring rolls. There are also freshly fried egg rolls (cha gio) and bananas. Of course they also offered fresh & fried tofu, fresh soy milk and hot tofu dessert (tofu fa). The prices were not too expensive and service was good. They had 2-3 staff helping the steady flow of customers when I visited at noon on Friday. I ended up buying unsweetened soy milk, cold tofu pudding, hot tofu fa, and a vegetarian tofu stir fry with mushrooms and pickled mustard. All were good quality and tasty. I will have to go back so I can try some of their other products. read more

V K Food Products - Small store in a strip mall on Valley Blvd. - Delis Near Me - Rosemead, California

It has been a long while that I came back to this store since my last bad experience with hot tofu pudding. I decide to try again so I came on Sat morning and they had a promo buy $5 get $1 for regular fried tofu. They can get very busy so there was line but it moved quickly. Service was not really friendly. I also bought the che troi nuoc on the counter and ate right after I got home and found out it's spoiled . The mung bean filling tasted sour. The che troi nuoc is all broken on the bottom of the cup. Was so disappointed. read more

Super authentic tofu place. They make their tofu products in house and don't add preservatives so it needs to be consumed within a week. The lady was very nice, she recommended that we put the soft, plain tofu in water for storage to maximize its shelf life. Communication may be difficult for some as it's a small mom n pop kinda shop, but I'm pretty sure you could get by. read more

Clean interior, lots of fresh options of sweets, drinks, and savor foods to choose from, and nice owners! affordable, authentic, and delicious viet foods. The two owners also know Cantonese which was great. Definitely get some of their tofu, all made fresh and in house and taste great. read more

Fresh soy milk, fried tofu, quick grab foods, some variety of Vietnamese desserts, fresh noodles and bahn mi sandwiches. I give them 5 star because the price is very reasonable. There is a minimum charge on their credit card. Closes at 6pm. read more

They don't make bahn mi anymore. Waste of time. The lady inside was nice tho. She spoke English.

I've intermittently come here for years and recently decided to go back. Prices are still affordable and I really like their fried mushroom tofu because they don't skimp on the mushroom or vermicelli inside. They also carry a wide variety of meat and vegetarian Vietnamese desserts and food to go. I've seen rolls, entrees like fried tofu and mushroom stir-fried, broccoli and tofu, tofu pudding, and more. They have pandan tofu pudding as well and fresh soy milk. The staff is friendly and speak multiple languages including Chinese, Vietnamese, English. They also have banh mi sandwiches. I do remember trying their sandwiches not too long ago and they weren't the best. They are affordable though! I'd definitely be back to grab snacks and tofu to go! Parking lot is small and can get crowded but there is also street parking nearby. read more

What sup with the worker at VK food? The short old man behind the counter is rude! He has no respect for customers! After purchasing the tofu with mushrooms, not even a thank you nothing. Customers are king. At lease said thank you to customers! So customers can come back. This dude needs to be fire! Bad for business with him there, if you don't like your job then bounce.. read more

I recommend trying their sweetened soy milk and sweet sugar tofu. These items tend to sell out during the day, so it's best to visit early. The staff primarily speaks Vietnamese, and the service was good. There's a shared parking lot with nearby businesses for convenience. read more

They no longer sell banh mi, and I drove over because no one could speak English when I was trying to order. That should have been my first red flag. Once I got there hey had a few items premade like nem nuong spring rolls, sticky rice in banana leaves. I bought a few things, tasted just ok, would not return. The pricing is reasonable though and the coconut milk and jelly drink was fine. Take out only. read more

Stopped here sometimes for broken corn sticky rice, yet they haven't sold this item for a while :(. Otherwise, l like the freshly made fried shrimp "rice" cake read more

I used to love coming here often but I was very upset to find the large soymilk I bought ended up being spoiled when poured out. Had to throw the whole gallon away. It was clumpy pieces coming out into the cup. I believe the place is sold to different owners now, so the quality isn't the same as before! I really hope they improve and look into this before continuing to sell to customers. The fried tofu pieces are also smaller and thinner and I feel scammed. read more

Great tofu ! For the price . Service is quick. Ambiance is nice. I love coming here for a while. read more

This place has been here for literally over 15+ years and is in a random strip mall off of valley/hart next door to the eye glass store. We've literally been coming here whenever we're in the area looking for daily freshly made soy bean products. Whether its fresh soy milk in the gallon or half gallon, fresh tofu, tofu pudding, fried mushroom tofu this is your go to spot! Yes the prices have recently gone up ALOT since inflation. It's still cheaper then your regular super market and you can't beat how fresh it is! Literally your soy milk is still hot in the bottle when they open at 7am! Everything else on the menu is a skip to be honest since you can get much better Vietnamese sandwiches elsewhere. If you're coming from OC/Westminster area forget about the sandwiches or spring rolls here, it can't even compete. If you're from the SGV area its just alright just not memorable. Note this is a order togo place and tiny shop so there is no indoor dining at all. It probably only fits 4-5 people max at a time hence the usual long lines out there door especially on the peak weekend hours. Yes they do charge fees for card so bring that cash unless you don't mind! read more

What's up: Wherever we're in the mood for fresh soy milk, this is the place we go to. They also have pretty decent fried tofu. Parking: Located in the Valley Hart Plaza, parking can be tough since it's shared with nearby businesses. Almost every time we go, there's always cars coming and going. Street parking is also available if the lot gets too congested. Environment: Masks are required. Depending how busy they are, you might need to line up to enter. Once inside, place your order at the counter. During busy times, there may be multiple staff members lined up at the counter to take orders. What was ordered: - Sweetened Soy Milk - 1 gallon (slightly sweet and warm) - Bi Cuon Chay (spring roll was ok) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. This place can get a bit hectic, but I like their fresh and warm soy milk. Credit cards are accepted, but they add a 5% surcharge. read more

Bought soy milk pudding right after it opened and it already tasted somewhat sour when i got home. I suspected that the pudding was left over from prior day. I put the pudding in the refrigerator thinking that it was still good and next morning, the pudding was sour and spoilws. VK Foods - you can do better and toss away pudding if not sold that day. Pudding is extremely cheap and for you to give customers leftover pudding from prior day is not good business practice. Customers, please be beware of this practice. read more

I saw that several people had recommended VK Foods as their go-to banh mi place, so I decided to try out their sandwiches to see for myself. My parents often visit to pick up their soy milk or tofu pudding dessert, but I wasn't aware that they sold banh mi as well! I ordered the special combination sandwich (around $3.50 to $4) with the vegetables on the side. The sandwich was pretty average size on what seemed to be a soft baguette roll with tasty pate spread on one side of the bread. But that was the only positive I found about the sandwich. The meats had no flavor and weren't packed at all - and the pickled vegetables were barely acidic - tasted like they had been dropped into vinegar for a few seconds before taken out. Probably the worst banh mi sandwich I've ever had. Will not be ordering a sandwich from here again. Definitely will be sticking to my go-to place for banh mi. And will only visit VK Foods for the soy milk, fried tofu and tofu pudding dessert. Those are the standouts from this place for me. read more

Very affordable place to get some tofu and Asian snacks. Just make sure bring some cash with you as they don't accept any credit card payment read more

The food was good at this strictly takeout place. Tried the stir-fried salt-and-pepper tofu and veggies, veggie eggrolls (6), cold tofu pudding (2), pork chop and rice, and the sticky rice wrapped in ti leaves (2). We went there for banh mi based on a menu photo, but the man there said they haven't served banh mi for 5 years. Tofu/veggies: good, simple flavor. Pork chop and rice: Great flavor. Probably 2 cups of the sticky broken rice. Came with lettuce, cucumber slices, a little pickled carrots/daikon, and a container of the vinegary sweet sauce. Wrapped sticky rice: Delicious. Several strips of pork inside, with a salted egg. Veggie eggrolls: Tasty. Contained taro, noodles, and carrot; the taro made it feel more substantial. Tofu pudding: The main reason we came, since our favorite place (VP Tofu) was closed today. We tried this cold, which we had never had since the place we usually get it serves it fresh/warm. It was very good; just more solid than we're used to. The ginger sauce was more sweet than gingery. The total cost was $37, plus a 5% upcharge for using a credit card. Not bad for a 6-person lunch! read more

One of my younger brothers had a birthday + housewarming party about one month ago. We ordered tons of foods from different places. We were looking for reasonably priced egg rolls. My Mom didn't want to pay $1.00 per egg roll that Che Cali charges. V K Food Products (VKFP) came to the rescue and sold their egg rolls for $0.75 each which worked for us. They sell two types of egg rolls... one veggie and one with taro + pork. We went with the taro + pork which was DELICIOUS... taro was sweet and the overall flavor was fantastic... fresh and crispy. We got 50 egg rolls for a party of 22 people! We ended up with 9 leftover so it worked out perfectly. We also got 2 gallons of their fresh soy milk sweetened. It was very fresh and good, but I was slightly disappointed that it didn't have the level of sweetness that I normally like for my soy milk (hence, knocked down 1 star). Staff was okay. They do accept credit cards, but they will charge you the service fee (since COVID-19, a lot of places have gone this route unfortunately). Hence, do bring cash if you want to avoid the extra charge. Do call them ahead to pre-order the egg rolls so they have it ready when you get there. If you want the fresh soy milk, get there early in the morning because they'll all be gone by afternoon. They get really busy at times. They are located at a small corner plaza so parking may be limited. Do swing on by VKFP to get your share of egg rolls (by the way, we also tried their veggie version (on a different day, of course) and they were good, too) and fresh soy milk when you're in the San Gabriel/Rosemead area. I'll definitely be back to try their other food items. See you there. Happy Egg Rolling and Soy Milking! read more

Zero!!! Do not go to the old lady. She is RUDE and CRANKY and apparently DEAF. Don't know what crawled up her ass this AM. I asked for the mushroom tofu and she made some sarcastic comments and gave me the plain one. Not only it was plain - it wasn't the usual warm ones right off the stove so that means it was a day old. Was not a happy camper when I got home. Stay clear of the old hag if you want a pleasant experience & fresh tofu. read more
