Freshly handmade tofu & soy milk from America's oldest shop
"Listed as one of Portland's two must‑try fresh tofu options, a 16‑ounce block is cited at $3; the product is recommended for scrambles, fried‑egg substitutes, and the deli’s egg‑style patties. Chef Ryan Koger calls it, "such a tender texture," adding, "So as a scramble or fried egg substitute — it's just so good." - Anastasia Sloan
"Ota Tofu is a staple in the Leungs' home cooking; they say they use Ota Tofu a lot." - Thom Hilton
"A tofu producer that offers a rich, creamy soy milk sold for about $3.50 per half gallon, positioned as an affordable, locally made alternative to conventional cow’s milk." - Anastasia Sloan
"A second location in the works that would potentially host a luncheonette for on-site bites." - Eater Staff
"The 112-year-old Ota Tofu, which is the oldest active tofu shop in the country, will open a second production facility by the end of 2023, the Oregonian reports. Ota Tofu presses and folds its tofu by hand using only three ingredients — its fresh tofu is prized and used by restaurants across the city." - Janey Wong
