3 reviews for Thanh Son Tofu
God, what did I do to deserve so many local food distributors within walking distance of my house? (I'll keep doing whatever I'm doing; I promise!)
Thanh Son is the tofu you'll find in most stores in Seattle (and probably a good number of restaurants). They have uncooked and cooked varieties to choose from (cash only) and it's LOCAL! This past weekend, I picked up a good chunk of cooked, flavored tofu and it was $2.75..........not $10, not $2.89, but $2.75! I'll never buy tofu at the grocery store again...........if I need milk, I'm going straight to the cow, baby!
I'm so happy to know that Thanh Son Tofu is still here, after all these years. You cannot get fresher tofu anywhere else. They actually make the tofu here, and have several variations for you to choose from: fresh or fried; some infused with onion or lemon grass; large blocks or small cubes. The fried tofu is in the center of the store to purchase by the pound. They also make soy milk (they call it soy bean juice here). Along with tofu, there are some Vietnamese deli items in a display case, a little produce, refrigerated & dry goods (including uncooked soy beans of course), and your obligatory big bags of rice.
Thanh Son tofu is awesome. They offer fried tofu to buy by the pound in a couple of different varieties as well as fresh tofu that they've clearly just made. I am in love with the lemongrass and onion flavors of fried tofu and am glad that there is a cheaper place to get it than Uwajimaya (which carries the same product for more money). The only problem with the place is that it's not really close to anywhere you would ordinarily be, but it's worth the walk for some quality product.
