    Definitely very hidden! My friend had to come find me to take me to find this spot. Very small hole in the wall/mom & pops spot. Service was decent, nothing notable. Not surprised how long this place lasted for around 15 years with comforting home cooked taste. There's someone cooking stinky tofu outdoors. There's definitely that stink in the air that clings on your clothes so keep that in mind if you have something important to attend afterwards. The stinky tofu wasn't stinky enough itself compared to Chinese versions, but the sauce and pickled vegetables does save it. It's got a bit of a crunch, but not as much as I'm used to. Everything tasted pretty decent otherwise, clean and comfy Taiwanese spot, A lot of 小吃 options.

    Stinky Tofu - Regular Size
    Sandy N.

    Came here on a Saturday around 4PM and there were 2-3 people ahead of me. I don't know why but this place was hard for me to find. It is located outside, tucked in the corner, in an alley. It looked a bit suspicious at first, but the pungent smell will be obvious as you walk closer to it. Anyways, I ordered the regular sized stinky tofu. I waited approximately 10 minutes for my order. It had a slight kick of sweetness, some umami, and salty flavor. It was unique and interesting since the tofu was able to absorb some of the sauce. As for my mom, who grew up eating this, thought it wasn't fermented enough. Regardless, it was worth the try since there wasn't that many places around here that sells this. There is a minimal amount required if you're paying with a card but other than that, it is CASH ONLY.

    Revisited with my grandma for a quick lunch break. Everything was good as always & service was quick, bringing out food within minutes of ordering. Will definitely be back :)

    If you have a crave for Taiwan street food, this is the place to go. They got stinky tofu, blood rice cake, Taiwan tamale and many more dishes. All very flavorful and tasty.

    Truly the only spot that hits the spot when you're looking for Taiwanese stinky tofu and lu rou fan. It's tucked away in the saddest shopping center that is really falling apart, but it's worth the journey. The service is good, and the ambiance... well, you'll feel like it's an authentic place lol. Really appreciate that this place sticks around - definitely worth the try!

    Whenever I am craving stinky tofu this is the best place to eat. Everything is still same and I would also tell them don't overt fry it I want the tender side.

    This authentic braised pork rice and stinky tofu hit me with a wave of nostalgia. As a Taiwanese American constantly navigating two cultures, -home- can feel like a vague concept until I eat this. It's a taste of Taiwan that awakens my soul. This meal is a CrossPacific embrace, proving that the vibrant spirit of Taiwan's food stalls is, and always will be, my ultimate comfort.

    The food was okay. Can satisfy some Taiwanese cravings. The dumplings I got were a little bland but good if I was looking for something more clean to eat. The chicken leg rice was good for the price. My friend shared the stinky tofu with me but it was just okay. I didn't like the previously fried tofu texture and didn't care for the sauce. The service was friendly although maybe have gotten my friend's order wrong but not a big deal.

    Barely iced tea is a little sweeter, they add sugar to it.

    I really wanted to come here a long time and try their famous stinky tofu. The first time I came here looking for it , 2 years ago, I couldn't find it because all the shops looked alike and it doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside, at first I thought it was one of those Chinese herbal shops so I gave up and left. Until today, I came back and looked hard for it. I finally found it...yay! The place is really tiny, they have patio seating but is kind of windy and I have shorts on, is cold outside lol. Walked in, told the lady, only 1 people and she said sit. I sat in the middle and there was only one young couple eating. I knew exactly what I wanted besides the tea, I want it hot Japanese tea but unfortunately they don't have it so I opted for the hot green tea then I saw the barley tea, i said hot but she brought out with ice. The barely tea was kinda sweet, I like it natural without sugar. The stinky tofu looks and tastes like fry tofu, there wasn't really any smell to it like I was hoping. I thought it was going to be like that king of fruits, the Dorian, the ones that loves it would say it smells like peaches and the ones that hates would say it smell like feet that you haven't washed for days lol. The tofu doesn't have any smell to it, kinda disappointed. I asked the boss lady and she said health department doesn't allow it so they made no too smelly. It was kinda dry too. The pickled vegetables that came with it was pretty good, it helps with the dry tofu. I also ordered their most popular items, the mushrooms minced pork with egg over rice. When I took the first bite, it reminded me of my mom's braised pork belly with mustard greens but is not sweet like here. Is really flavorful and my mom uses 10 different types of herbs to make it. Also we eat it in big chunks with white rice is the best, half fat half skinny just like char shi lol overall, the food was good. The ladies are friendly and nice, they answered my question about the tofu. But I'm still going to see if I can find some more stinky tofu that has a little smell to it. Wish me luck. Or if anyone has any suggestions of any places that has stinky tofu that smells in SGV and OC, message me. I'm very curious about what it smells like and tastes like ? Thanks in advance

    Nice to see there are still restaurants like Tofu King that proudly fly the Taiwanese "small eats" (snacks) flag as there have never been many options for Taiwanese food even in the SGV. It had been awhile since I ate here but had a hankering for Taiwanese food so I came here for lunch. The menu seems to be pretty consistent as before with the stinky tofu as the one dish that everyone seems to order. Of course, if you don't like stinky tofu but want to try the food here, you will need to endure the smell of stinky tofu so ordering the food to go may be your best option? They have some tables outside but you can still smell the tofu. Check out my pics including menu pics. If you haven't tried Taiwanese small eats before, Tofu King allows you to try many of the more popular items all in one place.

    所有的結果與過程,都是自己在跟自己談判,想通了,全世界都會繞路, 畫地為牢,只會讓自己萬劫不復,別想太多,學習放下,懂得釋懷,才是善待自己最好的方式~ 我們洛杉磯鼎鼎有名的臭豆腐大王,有次我帶兩個朋友去,外國的朋友,才靠近攤子,在那邊真的沒法呼吸,坐在那裡的每一刻都好像痛苦萬分,讓我在那笑個不停,現在知道我們台灣小吃的厲害了吧,國內來的朋友,則一直跟我說送菜上來的台灣小姐說話好溫柔,一樣是台灣來的,怎麼講話差這麼多,我覺得這真的是廢話,最好是整個台灣的女人講話都是輕聲細語的,他沒見識過台灣的恰查某吧! 言歸正傳,臭豆腐大王是我妹妹從北加下來時,永遠指定要吃的台灣小吃,每一次都會點很多,非常的澎湃,好像是台灣小吃辦桌的感覺, 臭豆腐不用我說了, 在洛杉磯想吃臭豆腐, 捨他其誰?他們的米粉炒, 滷肉飯, 大腸包小腸, ....還有太多的菜色,我都很喜歡,分享給大家, 這道地的台灣味!

I've tried quite a few dishes here and honestly everything has been solid. I usually get the house beef noodle but this time I tried the braised pork noodle. The noodles had the perfect bouncy texture, the pork was super tender, and the bok choy added a nice crunch that helped balance the richness of the broth. My friend got the hot and sour chaoshou which was also really good. The dumpling skin was chewy and they were packed with filling. It's also nice that you can customize the oil level in your broth. We ordered the pig ears as an appetizer too. I loved the crunchy texture but the flavor was a bit underwhelming. The initial taste was mostly chili oil and then the flavor kind of disappeared. They have a lot of other great appetizers on the menu so I'd probably skip this one next time. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with consistently good noodles Mian is definitely worth checking out!!

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and even the takeout packaging was handled with great care. However, this time, I was disappointed.

We had to pack our leftovers ourselves, and after paying, the receipt was simply placed on the table without even a word of thanks. The service is truly not what it used to be!

My bowl of beef noodles had a small spicy symbol but it did not come out spicy so I had to request for my own chili oil and customize it. Overall, the value is good for the portion but the taste is average/ could use more improvement. Tips: Park downstairs if parking outside is chaotic. There tends to be more parking underground.

Both are delicious in their own ways but I think the tomato is more unique. The mala soup isn't spicy but the numbing taste is what makes it addicting. Portion-wise it doesn't look like a lot but it is actually quite filling. The quail eggs are so flavorful and I really loved the bean curd they had in there. I wish there was some fried tofu though. I didn't like the pork they put in there as it was a bit odd tasting. It's basically fried pork but it is all soggy due to being in the soup. Perhaps the beef version would be better.

I got the premium beef hot pot with potato powder and knife-cut noodles. The noodles are both on the firm side. I thought the potato powder noodles were chewier than the knife-cut ones. Thankfully, they weren't too chewy for my liking. I got non-spicy broth and added a little bit of chili oil provided on the table. Served at a high temperature, it was quite savory and a little salty. The beef slices were thin and filling. I noticed other ingredients, such as fish balls, peanuts, quail eggs, baby bok choy, mushrooms, and tofu. Ordering is easy with an option to choose between English and Chinese text via your phone. While the staff spoke Mandarin to me, the translated menu bridged the language gap. The wait for our food wasn't too long, and I paid at the front for our food. My order (for a minor added cost) also included a self-serve beverage and bean curd rolls with enoki mushrooms. I just had to grab my drink from a display refrigerator, and I got an iced jasmine tea (Kang Shi Fu). Service is minimal, but the woman who greeted us cleaned our table as we had sat down. The ambience was mostly quiet, but the music volume had shortly increased a lot for some reason.
