Sogo Tofu - San Jose, California

This is an incredible place. It’s been around for 20+ years and they have more fresh tofu and soy milk than any other location I’ve ever seen. Their “chicken” Tofu is incredible and that’s my favorite. I don’t have any pictures of the deli counter they have. But they do have hot food that they serve every day with about 15 options. It’s truly an incredible place and a one of a kind place.

Always wanted to try this place and was heavily recommended from friends.
Coming to the place itself, it is very small and no dining inside.
Plenty of parking spots.

Coming to food choices, oo man, there are plenty of options to fill in various appetites
We could even take some dim sums home as well and they looked yummy.
You can take bento box as well and they looked good but couldnt try this time

We tried a few :
Gua bao was awesome
Sticky rice roll with egg outside was Winner for me and hmm filling inside ( i think this is called fan tuan) was truly awesome
Seaweed sticky rice roll was the runner up for me with so much flavor inside
Spicy Tofu - This is heavenly with little bit of spiceness and flavor was awesome.
We also took a bun and this was my least favorite among the all
We tool taro bun and was ok
Grilled scallion was decent

Its tofu curd, soy milk, sticky rice roll and radish bao are all very good. We have also tried some other dishes, which are not as impressive. But those 4 alone already worth repeated visit.

Ask for an itemized receipt. They are 100% capable of printing one, but won't give it to you unless you ask. This is so the shop owners can sneak food items into your receipt. For example, when eaten, Chinese donuts split into two sticks, but they are sold as a SINGLE item. When you catch the manager double charging you for a Chinese donut, this is the lie he'll try to use to get out of it.

They also sell expired or day-old food items. Rice rolls here are $5.99 each. They will saran wrap 3 rice rolls from yesterday and sell the lot for $10.00. Touch the plastic-wrapped foods and if they're cold, you know why. See attached screenshot for where they place expired items.

Manager has a shaved head and his wife works here as well. Manager also works at Marina Foods, so now you know where he gets his bad business practices.

-1 stars for dishonest business practice
-1 stars for reselling packaged food as their own
-1 stars for trying to sell expired food.
2 stars remaining because the food is good when it's fresh. If only it wasn't so overpriced and the manager weren't dishonest.

Amazing hole in the wall mini mart to get your Taiwanese fix! Lots of small dish, traditional eats like Zhongzi, mantou, vermicelli noodles and So. Much. More.

The owner is also super nice and I am probably going to come back everyday for lunch 🙂

It’s a small gem inside a strip mall. The tasty vegetarian food makes Meatless Monday and any meatless day seems like a cinch. Their sweet offerings include some Shanghai pastries and soft cakes that are as good as I found in Hong Kong.

It’s a great place with delicious traditional tofu, soy based food. Also a lot of bakery options. We wish it could be closer to our home so we can visit here frequently. Highly recommend the pancakes.
