For four consecutive years since 2016, Kung Wo Beancurd Factory in Sham Shui Po has been on the MICHELIN Guide list of recommended street food in Hong Kong. If you enjoy tofu in general, you must try this place. You can probably guess based on the name that they make all their tofu products, including soybean milk which is also very popular. Fun fact! I have lived in Sham Shui Po until I was about 10 years old. Kung Wo is about 5 minute walk from our old apartment and I have no recollection of ever having the tofu here. It's my older sister's favorite tofu place so we had to stop by to grab a bowl of good old hot tofu, which is like a dessert. Be aware the dining area is small and cramped. You will likely have to sit next to a stranger in close proximity. It is street food style and casual dining. Folks order, eat and go! The tofu without a doubt was smooth, silky and fresh. I'm not a huge fan but my sister really enjoyed it. I was feeling something savory and got a mix plate of Cheung Fun (rice noodle rolls), fish balls, and fish shui mai. It was alright. Average - nothing mind blowing. Nevertheless, places like this is what makes Hong Kong - Hong Kong! Cash only read more

Michelin Bib Gourmand tofu! This was our second stop of our mini food tour. You can get tofu in all forms, including tofu pudding, various forms of deep fried tofu, and tofu ice cream. They also have soy milk and some other food, but we mostly just came for the tofu since we had a few other stops on our food tour. There's 2 storefronts right next to eat other, although only one has a limited amount of seating. We thought the other one was for takeout, not sure if that was actually the case or not but they still let us order with them and take it over to the other storefront to sit and eat. We ordered a cold tofu pudding, mixed deep fried tofu, and soy milk. The pudding was soft and silky, and there's some sauce/seasoning at the tables for you to add. I don't think it was really my thing but it was interesting to try! I enjoyed the deep fried tofu a lot more since I prefer savory things. I didn't try the tofu ice cream since I didn't notice that was an option, but it sounds unique and I'd probably want to try it if I'm ever back here. Overall it was cool to try and worth a visit if you're a tofu fanatic. I'd probably come back again if I were in the area but wouldn't make a trip out just for this. read more

Kung Wo Beancurd specialty is all things soy and tofu and they kicked off our Sham Shui Po breakfast adventure. It's a Bib Gourmand so we thought it would be busy but it was pretty empty on a Saturday morning. There appears to be two storefronts but only one has actual tables and chairs to dine-in. I didn't look too hard at the other but it seems like take-out. Once seated, there's a ton of paper menus to mark down your order. We handed it off to the workers and the food came out in less than 5 minutes. So fast! Tofu Pudding: Choose either hot or cold, sugar or sugar-free. We ordered one to share so we couldn't stuff ourselves and it was just the right amount. Super silky! Maybe it's just me but if we each had our own, I would've gotten tired of the texture real fast. The sugar version wasn't that sweet too and we ended up adding the orange/yellow sugar, which is provided at each table. Mix Deep Fried (6 pieces): If you want to try a bit of everything, you can order this sampler of various deep fried snacks. It comes with two pieces each of deep fried tofu, tofu puffs, and golden fish and soya cakes. Pretty good snack but it's made a little better with the various sauces at the table. It's not like crispy, deep fried but a little soggy already. Overall, not bad but it didn't stand out for me. If you're in the area, it's worth trying it out once but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way. Cash only! read more

Heard the hype of this place so we got the tofu fa and soy milk. Both were quite disappointing and didn't have too much soy flavor. People also raved about the swiss chicken wing but it tasted more like soy than swiss. Wing sizes were quite big though. The radish cake was ok. The fried stuffed 3 kinds were also ok. read more

If you like tofu it's a must, interesting dishes with subtle but tasty flavors. Can be busy for sure but it's quick service and good prices, worth the visit. read more

Little shop that was featured on the Michelin Guide. It was a little shop that was bustling with diners and was textbook definitions of a no frill restaurant. But, I can definitely say that they execute their tofu products to perfection. I ordered the tofu ice cream which was super unique and thought the texture was very smooth and loved the sugar that paired with it. The other traditional dishes I ordered were the rice roll and curry fishballs. They were both solid but nothing as much to rave about. I would say definitely come here for their tofu products. Service here was alright definitely felt a bit rushed but maybe that's just the style for smaller cha chaan tengs. I would revisit to try some of their other tofu dishes though! read more

The old shop is the authentic bean curd shop. If you want to sit in a better environment, there is the new shop next to it. The service is fast. Like the soya bean drink and the dessert. Better choose the fried bean curd with fish cake rather than deep fried one as it is more smooth. It is quite an old school Hong Kong market shop read more

This was recommended alot as a good dessert place so I came to give them a try. They were quite busy when I arrived and we shared a communal table with other patrons. The tofu pudding is a popular order and I also decided to grab a cup of soy milk. Sugar is available on the table, sprinkle as much as you need to the tofu pudding to your desired sweetness. Overall, I thought the tofu pudding was okay, I could've gone without having it. You'll definitely want to add the sugar unless you're okay with the plain taste of the tofu pudding. The soy milk was also just okay, it wasn't sweet enough for me. If you love tofu pudding, give them a try! Otherwise, it's not an essential place to visit when in Hong Kong. read more

Small shop located near the b2 exit of sham shui po station. It's often very busy and staff will direct you to share tables. Seating can be very tight and you may be shoulder to shoulder with guests. But it's a great experience. The stand out here is anything tofu. I was already quite full and hence didn't get a chance to try much. I just had the tofu ice cream with ginger sauce- delicious. I will have to come back again for their fried tofu and tofu pudding desserts. read more

This is a tofu house that has been operating for about a hundred years. I had come here in my childhood and still wanted to come back after decades for a bowl of their silky smooth Tofu Pudding 荳腐花。 Tofu Pudding was still absolutely delicious, so nice and silky smooth. It had a ginger flavor to it, and sugar was on the table for customers to add as they wished. The Pork Knuckle in Swiss Sauce was also really tasty and reasonably priced. This store is kind of in an old and lower class neighborhood. They mainly sell tofu products and only had limited tables and benches for dine in. One cannot expect decent ambience and service from such a place. That's why I cannot give it a five star even though their food is of five star quality and excellent. read more

Tiny eatery behind day/night market stalls. Decided to try it because of online raves and reviews. Tofu ice cream is definitely unique, has a different texture. Sweet tofu tastes smooth and better than most places. Biggest issue is there is only about 10 chairs placed so closed in a tiny room with no AC. When it is 32 degree outside in midday, yeah. read more

Not sure how to review this place as we only tried the Tofu Fa or cold tofu pudding on our Michelin food tour from Hello Hong Kong. None of our group of five liked the tofu pudding. Despite how much brown sugar we added and added and added. Maybe if we had tried something else on the extensive tofu menu, I could give a better recommendation. The place is cute, small and crowded. read more

Came to this famous Michelin Star Tofu House and superficially, I can see people saying this place is average however if you order the right items, no other "copy cat" place that sells tofu pudding comes close to the same quality. We normally just get items to go and walk around and eat but we decided to give sit down a try. The seat are very cramped and I literally had no where to put my backpack. Moreover, if you order multiple items, there isn't a lot of counter space. We tried: 1. "Fried tofu" which is actually just panfried. I thought it was good but not amazing. It tasted just like your average pan fried tofu. Obviously we didn't come here for this but we just wanted to try something random on the menu. The lady told me when I ordered that it isn't deep fried as I ordered it was "deep fried tofu" in cantonese just translating what it said in English and she said it's panfried. 2. Tofu Pudding: I love that they give it to you unsweetened and really leave it up to you how sweet you want it. I like to add a good amount of sugar. I also like it with the Ginger Syrup. The tofu is very silky and smooth. 3. Tofu Ice cream: this is by far the best item on their menu. It's is extremely unique and the ice cream is so smooth but has a subtle tofu flavor and goes perfectly with the ginger syrup. There has not been any other place that has sold soy/tofu ice cream anywhere close to as good as Kung wo. I ended up coming back and buying this about 3-4 more times. 4. Soy milk: I'd get the one with sugar as the soymilk without is bland but obviously healthier but you can also add sugar to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, if you like tofu or soy items, this is the place to come to. It's also near an awesome market where you can shop around. Lots of other things to do however it can get really crowded. read more

The soymilk was very good but I found the tofu pudding average. Unlike other places where they give you syrup to pour into the pudding, here it seems like the only available sweetener is brown sugar. Unlike the syrup, you have to add a lot of the brown sugar in order to make the tofu pudding sweet enough to enjoy. Space is tight and seating is at a large communal table. read more

Kung Wo is a small place with fresh tofu. The fresh soymilk is a must-have but I think I'll pass on everything else. The fried tofu with pork was soft and that's about it. The cold tofu dessert came with an ant in it. read more

There's nothing that says Hong Kong flavor better than the classic tofu pudding. And that's exactly what I came to this retro restaurant for. Known for serving everything soy, from soy milk to fried tofu, Kung Wo attracts a lot of customers with its homemade sugar-free soy milk. You have to add the yellow sugar that's provided on each table and mix it into the tofu for any sweetness. I was very stingy with the sugar at first but then realized I need to dump a whole lot for the tofu pudding to taste sweet. However I recommend doing little by little first till you are satisfied with the taste. This is the only place where I've had tofu pudding like this, so it was very interesting. However, it can get pretty sticky, so be sure not to lean your arms on the table! It's not five stars because while it was a cool experience, the tofu pudding tasted like any other tofu pudding I've had in the states. On top of that, I was not acknowledged for a good five minutes after I sat down myself. read more

Y'all know I live for tofu. Or even soy bean products in general. I love it, it's so versatile! This place is famous for their soy bean products! Tofu served all type-a ways... fried, sweet, stuffed, ETCCC. You can order to-go or you can sit in (dai paii dong style, no A/C, stools and all). This place is perf for a snack while you're in the area! Cold tofu pudding - Super yummy!!! Sprinkle some brown sugar on top and you're golden. Good tofu taste. Smooth and silky. Yummm. Tofu stuffed with fish paste - Good! They have some red sauce on the table (kinda like a mild chili sauce), this makes it much more tasty! Fried tofu pok - Good but it was cold :( read more

If you're into soy milk and tofu pudding, you have to try Kung Wo Dou Bun Chong for authentic tofu everything. I'm not a big fan of tofu pudding and even I thought this amazing top quality tofu! The shop has been here for a long time, and they're famous among locals and tourists, so you'll almost always see nonstop commotion into and out of the shop. Since you're not really there to eat a whole big meal, chances are you'll probably get seated next to other strangers who are awaiting delicious tofu pudding as well. It's always interesting to sit and people watch. A lot of locals call out orders as they walk into the restaurant, and the workers immediately yell out the orders to the chef who promptly make and serve the food. You'll get your food in less than 5 minutes. The most popular dish is probably their tofu pudding. You can order it hot or cold, and it's only $10 HKD, which is about $1 to $1.50 USD per bowl. The tofu is made fresh every single day, so you're guaranteed super fresh tofu pudding every time you come here. The pudding is plain when it's served to you, and you can add as much sugar from the condiments as you want. I like my tofu pudding sweet, so I seriously doused my pudding in sugar. I feel like eating it hot probably melts the sugar better than eating it cold, but I definitely like cold desserts more. Tofu goes down smooth and sweet - very similar to almond jello except the consistency is so much smoother. Highly recommend! The soy bean milk is also super authentic and probably the best soy milk I've ever had. You can order the soy milk hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened. And you can order the soy milk in different sizes I believe. I always get the cold sweetened soy milk. You can seriously taste the soy beans and how healthy the overall drink is, but with the added sugar, the drink is amazing. A lot better than the ones you get in the paper cartons at the local supermarkets. Hot soy milk isn't really my preference, but I thought it had good soy bean flavor. We also tried the fried tofu. One of the workers stands at the front of the store and simply fries these tofu and tofu puffs, so they're served fresh all day. You have to add soy sauce to give it some flavor (probably best to poke a small hole in the middle and drizzle the soy sauce inside to let the tofu absorb the saltiness. Even though it was fried, the outside wasn't too crispy and retained the smoothness of the tofu. Super soft as you slice through it, and the tofu goes down super smooth! Even though it probably wasn't the healthiest dish (you can see a lot of oil), it tasted good! We were in and out of there in less than 30 minutes. My dad is the biggest fan of soy milk and we walked 30 minutes just to buy a cup of soy milk a few days later, so it definitely has his stamp of approval! tl;dr - The best spot for tofu and soy milk! A must try if you're in the area! read more

The perks of hanging out with locals who live in this city are awesome. They brought me to this place to eat tofu and in my mind I was like, "how good can this be? It's just tofu." I was wrong. The tofu here is different from the tofu I eat in the states. All their tofu/soy products are made fresh daily. I came in the early evening (around 5pm) and it was packed. My friend managed to find a table right in the middle and we ended up sharing a table with two other people who were already eating. The space was tight. The food comes to your table right after you order it. Yes, it's the fastest service I've ever seen. We each got the pan fried tofu and the cold tofu fa. The pan fried tofu had no seasoning on it and they do that so the customers can add whatever they like. All the condiments are on the table. I added soy sauce on my tofu and took a small bite. It was hot because it just came off the pan but it was soft, super smooth and you taste the soy. For the tofu fa, my friend added a few spoons of orange sugar for me. I don't know what type of sugar that is but it made the tofu fa taste real good. It was light and refreshing. In a way I felt bad eating all this before dinner but then again, its tofu and it's healthy so it's all good. read more

If you're a fan of tofu, then Kung Wo is the place to come check out. I found this place out from Discover HK's Instagram page and it did not disappoint. Seating is very limited, and there's one table outside right in the alley. A lot of people ordered the food to go since seating was limited. Luckily we were able to get a table. We ordered the mix deep fried which came with deep fried tofu and golden fish & soya cake. It was more than enough to share between the two of us. It's not a full meal. It's more of a snack. Everything was good, but I thought the food was a bit oily though. We also ordered the tofu pudding (cold) and soya bean milk. Both tasted really good and fresh. Come check this place out as places like these are becoming more and more rare in HK. read more

Reviewing this place is like reviewing my childhood. I still remember when I was a baby and raised up by my grand parents who lived right here in Sham Shui Po, and every time when my mom would pay me a visit, she would buy some tofu dishes for us to share. They were bought from this place! This place is the tofu legend of Hong Kong. They take tofu into serious business and have been around since 1909. Yes, if your grandparents were from Hong Kong, they will know about this place. My parents grew up eating this place. I grew up eating this place.. Their steamed tofu pudding is the smoothest, softest, most soybean flavorful, you will ever find. I will never find tofu pudding as good as this place anywhere else. I paid this place a visit with my younger sister just 3 months ago, even though the price may have raised a bit over the past years (still very cheap, just $12HKD on average for one serving), the taste is still the same as I had 15-20 years ago. The taste gave me a good nostalgia of my childhood and my grandparents (RIP). Yes, the place is super old, busy, cramped, loud, and may not be the most comfortable place to eat in, but nevertheless delicious and super popular amongst tourists and locals. Most importantly, it holds a special place in my heart. read more

We went post dinner... Great sweetened soybean juice (aka soy milk) and tofu pudding. They had a $10 minimum person, but they didn't enforce it on us (we spent $35 for 4 people). Friendly and quick, but not so much on the small talk. Small tables, wet floors, definitely not romantic. read more
