Reviews for Excellent Tofu & Snacks Ltd in Richmond, BC
A nice simple place serving tofu based desserts. The tofu (???was silky smooth and perfect in its blandness to be enjoyed with... the self-serve heavily-gingered syrup or with the myriad of add-ons. Dine-in or take out, the tofu dessert here is wonderful inits simplicity. I enjoyed it too quickly and too enthusiastically to take pictures. I would definitely come back again. Read more
The old Chinese male server with glasses did not look approachable; he did not make us feel welcomed. When I told him I wanted... the sweetened tofu pudding, he had his back facing me and he took the tofu pudding from the fridge and poured the water out fromthe plastic container. No one would do that because there is always water with tofu; you cannot clear out the water from tofu. He obviously did not need to do that unless he did not want us to have the water from the tofu. Then he said the tofu puddingwas not sweetened and he asked me for the kind of sugar syrup. I said ginger sugar syrup. Later, I found out that there wasresidue inside the container of ginger sugar syrup; I did not know what it was. It was gross. I told him I wanted the yellowbean pudding and he took it out from the fridge. Then he started to search for the tools to cut the pudding. I did not know ifthe tray and the knife for cutting the pudding were hygienic. Moreover, they did not have the chocolate tofu and the papayatofu even though they were on the menu. When I asked him for two spoons, he did not answer me and went away. Then he asked meagain. In general, he was ignoring customers when customers wanted to talk to him. He just talked to customers whenever hewanted. That was not customer service. In terms of their products, the texture and the taste of their tofu pudding weresimilar to the Sunrise tofu at the supermarket but the Sunrise one is half the price. The melon tofu pudding tasted stalebecause the top coat was chewy. The yellow bean pudding was inferior as well - they had bits of yellow beans instead of thewhole yellow beans in the pudding and they used excess flour for the pudding. It was disappointing because this was a specialtystore for tofu. Overall, this place is overpriced and overrated. Read more
Fantastic and fresh Tofu Pudding. Two of us shared a hot bowl with sweet black rice ($6). It is served without sugar so you can... add as much (or as little) white liquid sugar, liquid ginger, or brown sugar as you like. Would come back and try morecombinations! Read more
The name speaks for itself!! My family used to buy tubs to bring home, and years later the tofu here is still just as delicious,... smooth, and silky. Lots of options available, with the added bonus of being able to customize brown sugar or ginger syrup asadditions! A hidden gem! Read more
Fresh soy milk!!! A little pricy but you can feel the nutrients when you drink it. A giant milk jug is around $7.50 a bottle.... They have smaller sizes as well. They also have mango pudding and specialty (red bean, green bean etc) toppings with soft tofu.It's CASH ONLY so remember that. Great staff very fast and efficient elderly people who run the shop well. I'm coming here forthat fresh soymilk! No more guessing w the grocery stores. Read more
The name of the store speaks for itself, EXCELLENT. The tofu is the most silkiest I?ve had. I usually get the hot version and it... just hits the spot every time. There are many variety to choose from and they have snacks and a soy milk drink menu as well. Ifyou feel like wanted more, they have tubs and jugs of tofu and soya milk for you to take out. They only accept cash so comeprepared. Worth the distance and every penny! Read more
Never judge a place by it's appearance. Walking in to this place reminds me of some old 1980's dinner with low tables and... rounded stools. Ordered a few Tofu dessert to go from a friendly staff. WOW.. these tofu dessert are just amazingly good,smooth, cold, and refreshing. The black sesame tofu was my favorite. Read more
Not bad, reasonably priced tofu/soy based desserts for the most part. Can also buy jugs or soya milk. Old school small dessert... house and some savory choices. Tofu pudding is smooth and options for sugar. Not a whole lot of soybean taste though. Read more
