Stopped in for lunch and ended up buying dinner as well. There’s so much to try here - from banh mi to piles of tofu to cassava cake and mung bean rice cake. I ended up getting the pork and egg roll vermicelli and three enormous spring rolls for $18. Great value considering the vermicelli dish alone would sell for that in a restaurant. Everything is pre-made and ready to grab and go. It’s also a great way to familiarize yourself with Vietnamese classics. You can get sides like rice and stir fried or pickled veggies and make your own banquet! The barbecue chicken looked amazing. Definitely getting that and some soup next time. This spot will be in my rotation for delicious lunches that don’t make me broke!

Saigon Tofu is a fantastic spot that truly stands out in the area, especially for those looking for authentic Vietnamese snacks and food. They offer a great variety of traditional options, which is hard to find around here. It's also my favorite spot to get banh mi sandwiches—their flavors are rich, fresh, and reminiscent of homemade Vietnamese cuisine, making it a popular choice among the local Vietnamese community. While the store could use a little clean up and wiped down, the food quality and unique selection more than make up for it. It's definitely worth a visit if you're craving genuine Vietnamese treats!

I went to this place today. DESPITE someone already telling me not to go. I went anyways with my kids. The customer service was not great. Food tastes okay. But I stood there in line with my son and my baby. In order and I got skipped 2 times over. She let the people behind me cut me. Even when I got up to pay and I put my basket on the table. She told the other Vietnamese person ( in a different line) to pass her food to her and paid first. So was another guy with a different women cashier. TWO different lines… the women spoke in their language to cut me. I’ve never felt so disrespected and insulted in my life. My son who 9 years old by the way. Even stated how rude and inconsiderate they are. I will not be going back there. One and done. Learned my lesson. Of course all the food is lukewarm. Food isn’t that great to come back and let them make me feel less than because I didn’t speak their language.

I had the Vietnamese rice roll. It was so yum! The store was also very fun to shop with a variety of prepared foods. Banh Mi seems to be a popular item so I’ll go try next time.

KILLER TOFU AT SAIGON TOFU | we seem to find ourselves at Saigon Tofu quite a bit to pick up a little snack or a quick lunch to go. It's right around the corner from Dunwoody/Chamblee, which is convenient for me at home. Whether it's for a pack of spring rolls or some sticky mung bean desserts, I'm never disappointed in what I pick up from Saigon Tofu. They more recently updated their signs and offer cleaner translations from Vietnamese, which is super helpful. I'm a big fan of their spring rolls and their vermicelli bowls, especially with the roasted pork - makes for a relatively light meal! My boyfriend loved the mochi like texture of the mung bean desserts, and we recently tried a slice of the cassava cake, which was delicious. The one thing I didn't love is their iced Vietnamese coffee. It was pre-batched and not freshly brewed, which was a bit disappointing. I wouldn't have minded waiting for a fresh cup. As I write this review, I'm not sure why I haven't been back in a while, although it's mostly due to me trying to eat out less in 2024/2025. Will do better this year of spreading the love to Saigon Tofu when I do actually eat out!

--Location/Parking-- Next to a huge Vietnamese supermarket. Plenty of parking, but not during the rush hour weekend. --Ambiance-- Limited space where the food is stacked next to each other. It is more of you know what you want, and you get it. --Service/Staff-- The staff are friendly and helped me out even knowing I don't speak Vietnamese. A special shout out to the security guard for helping me check out knowing the line behind me was building up with people waiting to purchase their items. --Food/Products-- Range of Vietnamese food from freshly made. I came for the pastries that are made daily, be warned they can be sitting out that morning since there is no time stamp, but the food is great for the price, and you cannot complain on the range of selection. --Capacity-- The place can get crowded if there are more than 12 people in the store, because the walkways are narrow and can be difficult to get through. --Overall-- Recommended for your quick Vietnamese bite and with their wide choice of pastries to choose from.

Saigon Tofu is a Vietnamese grab and go store located in the Chamblee area, anything that your heart desires snack wise I think they've thought of here. They also sell sugarcane drinks which we tried during this visit. Service was quick and they only take cards (there were signs for that everywhere). Assortment of food they offer as pictured below, they also had hot food in packaging.

Vietnamese prepared foods at really great prices! I got a banh mi, iced coffee, and a bunch of random things all for $40. Most things are labeled in Vietnamese with English translations, including ingredient lists, which is incredibly gracious! It seemed authentic bc the customers were mostly speaking in Vietnamese, and I def saw all these food items when I was in Vietnam. I'm excited to dig into the rest of the food, but the banh mi, iced coffee, and tapioca dessert are all scrumptious! Went on a Sunday, and it was packed!

For out of towners like me whose hometown has no establishments with packaged warm meals and other foods (like rolls and rolls of banh tet or cha lua), this is the place to go. Unfortunately, we visited Saigon Tofu on our last day (in hopes of finding easy foods to bring home and share), so we weren't able to try more of the meals. We picked up banh mis, rolls of cha lua (they have it warmed out front; i asked for frozen to take home), Xoi, goi cuon and bun with heo quay (was so good... i wish i took home a pound or two of the meat). Would definitely visit Saigon Tofu again! Where else can you find this much variety of fresh Vietnamese foods to go?! (Nowhere else).

I'm so happy to have found this gem. Every item sold here was similar to my mom's cooking at home so the food and desserts bring so much memories. I liked their banh cuon (rice noodle with stuff ground meat and shiitake mushrooms) and cha lua and nem sliced. It comes with fish sauce and the herb veggies. I also liked their fried tofu, which comes in lemongrass flavored or mushrooms. The lemongrass tofu is delicious and the flavor gives the right zesty taste. They have three kinds of spring rolls - shrimp, meat or veggie filling. They have summer rolls, different kinds of cha (pork roll), nem, che (desserts), pho and broth on the side so all you need to do it heat up the broth and enjoy. The banh mi is buy 5 and get 1 free. My vacation time in ATL is limited so I didn't get to try most items but next time visit ATL area, I'll be back!

I love this place. They have really good meatballs and all the employees here are so sweet and friendly. Anything you get here will be delicious. The ambiance may not be the prettiest, but the food makes it all worth it. It's quick and easy to go Vietnamese cuisine. Bringing cash here is the best way to pay.

Love this place, for homey type food, I think this is the place to go. There's dishes here that you can't find at restaurants. There's a lot of variety also. My staples are the shrimp cha Gio, there banh uot type dish, and soy. Some other things I've enjoyed is their thit heo quay, and the fried fish cha. If you go early, the food will be super fresh and there would be a lot available. It can get busy but they work hard here to keep foods stocked so you wouldn't miss out on anything. The Bo vien at the register is also very good. I love this place and always try to drop by when im in the neighborhood

We have a variety of goodies to share. Enjoyed most, especially soft tofu. The only thing I didn't like was fried banana, which was too doughy. We also got sticky rice and some sandwiches for the flight... can't wait to break it out while we're on the air :)

The place to go for Vietnamese favorites including sugar cane drink, all things tofu, fried tofu, tofu pudding with ginger sugar, papaya salad with beef jerky, rice paper salad, chicken feet salad, sandwiches, cold cuts, egg rolls, assorted desserts, sticky rice, spring rolls, and many other food. It's hard to walk out of here without spending nearly $100 or even over! Definitely recommend eating most food on the same day. Fresh is still good.

This hole in the wall shop is take out of Vietnamese food. There is a large selection of food from eggs rolls to full lunch plates. They have a good selection of sweet desserts. They made great subs. You can come in and shop ala cart and leave with enough food for two meals. I love their spring rolls, three to a plate and they are packed. The plates range from fish and noodles, pork chops, beef, chicken..... They have a good selection of tofu, from plain to spicy. you can buy a block or in individual cubes. soups too. lot of selections and hard to decide. I had a tofu bowl with spicy, tangy tomato base sauce. The salad was sweet and good.

Obsessed with the Iced Coffee (Cafe Soda)! Complex and rich flavors mixed with sweetened condensed milk, pretty sweet but still one of my favorite morning pick me ups. Especially since they have an endless, freshly made viet street food mart right out front. I love grabbing the steamed buns, egg rolls, steam rolls, Rice noodle salad (bun), and roast crispy pork. I must say, when i visited on the weekends this place gets packed!! Literally fighting over the meats, they bring out refills of the items probably every 15 min, and seems like before they are even able to place the packages on the table people are snatching it right up already! I did see why, the meat was juicy and a massive portion. Did i forget to mention they have banh mi too? Overall great option for authentic viet food and drinks ~

Excellent Vietnamese street food. Super cheap prices: priced like street food was priced before everyone with a box truck tried to convince us they were a Michelin chef. The food is authentic and freshly prepared. Be advised they sell out of a lot of stuff before lunch is over. Go early.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this place when I grabbed dinner at Best BBQ. Similar to VN Tofu in Duluth, this place offers ready to go meals for an affordable price. I've only been to VN Tofu once and I feel as if Saigon Tofu had more offerings. They offer both food items from spring rolls to wonton noodle soup to rice dishes to che Thai. I decided to get roast pork buns, roasted pork and wonton noodle soup, pork chop rice plate (only because someone who was working there offered it to me for $5) and sesame balls. I have yet to try the buns but my sister enjoyed them. The noodle soup was a good portion with tons of noodles, 3 nice sized portions of wontons and a decent amount of sliced pork. It even came seasoned with pepper and toppings like fried garlic/onion and green onions. Broth came in a separate container. I was thoroughly disappointed with the sesame balls though. I always gets these when I see them, but these were inconsistent. I got 4 balls and only 1 of them seemed fresh since the stuffing inside was creamy, while the others were too dry and crumbly. Finding out this place in Chamblee definitely saves me the headache of having to go to Duluth if I'm looking for quick to go meals.

I like it. Despite the varying reviews, it has been able to help me get a taste of 'home cooking' while living in Atlanta and being away from family. It serves mainly fast food Vietnamese (think: banh mi, rice platters, egg rolls, etc.) at reasonable prices. Yes, some items can be pricey but for the most part it is a good deal (e.g. ~2.5 for three fresh spring rolls). The people working there are nice and overall feels homey and warm. Ordered - Spring Rolls (5/5). These are yummy, inexpensive, and reminds me of home. I usually get the shrimp and xa xiu flavored rolls. The fish sauce that goes with it is next level - Banh Mi (3/5). Lee's sandwiches are offered here. Very tiny portions and the meat is served sparingly on the banh mis. It is good but look at maybe a Lee's Bakery if your intention is to get banh mi - Banh Cuon (4/5). Probably not the best (have not been searching) but for the convenience of it where I can grab it for take out, it still hits the spot - Com Tam Rice Platter (5/5). Wow! This is great. I got the rice platter with xa xiu and roasted pork and it exceeded my expectations. There is a lot of food and it is only $9 - a fast and delicious option for hungry grocery shoppers at the nearby City's Farmers Saigon Tofu is underrated and I look forward to trying many, more dishes

Best tofu and snacks ever!! Been coming here for years (followed them from their old location). They have a huge selection of prepared dishes, desserts, and snacks -- I love trying out their stuff. So far favorites include: homemade lemongrass tofu and sweet tofu pudding (with coconut and ginger syrup). YUM!!

I love this place as it's located right next to City Farmers Marker. It's a really good To Go spot to pickup food if your not cooking for the night. I love the egg rolls they have here. It's always delicious and amazing. The employees here are always super friendly here and helpful. Their prices are very reasonable. They also have Vietnamese ice coffee and sugar cane juice. It's is really a one stop shop you enjoy Vietnamese style street food. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back!!

This place is charming and mostly mysterious to me, but I keep going back to get the amazing lemongrass tofu! It's without a doubt the most delicious tofu I've ever tasted. Someday I may branch out and sample other offerings, but for now I am so happy with my single beloved dish.

Saigon Tofu is our current go to for spring rolls, tofu, sesame balls, sweet rice etc. it is very small but there is so much to love inside! The food is always super fresh and there is a wonderful variety. I still haven't tried it all but so far everything is great. The shrimp rolls are my family's favorite.

I love the bao with pork & mushrooms & egg, the sesame and tofu bread and the egg rolls, cheap fast and easy carryout.

I view this place as a cafeteria of prepared food, but without the seating. They have pre-packed foods that are ready to eat and also a small grocery section of freezers and refrigerators with food in them as well that you have to prepare later. The prices are reasonable for what you get and you can also get made to order banh mi here. I would say the banh mi are not that great, even a the buy 5, get 1 free deal. The bread is not spectacular and the filling is just ok. Their other prepared food, including goi cuon, banh cuon, and egg rolls are pretty good. They also offer catering where you can get these items in large platters for your post COVID parties.

We were so glad to discover this place because we are again able to find many of the items that we used to buy at other places before they closed during the pandemic or changed hands and their options changed profusely. We can find the tofus we like here--mushroom and lemon grass, the puddings, the huge sesame balls, the pork rolls in banana leaves, plus meals ready to go like my favorite curry chicken. I discovered a couple of the coconut creams were spoiled when I brought the mung bean chè home, so just beware that some of the food sits out for a long time. Overall, we're very happy to see this place open. Plus it's so close to that way cool grocery store where they have everything, so what's not to like? (except the homeless guys sleeping next to my car in the parking lot?) Go to Saigon Tofu!

Very good Banh mi. A bit divey but very authentic. The staff spoke English well, but not their 1st language. Banh mi wasn't available until 11am the day I went in. Interesting other Vietnamese authentic options. So good!

I'm heading to my uncle's house and my tummy is growling. I remember there's a City's Farmer's Market so I stopped to see if I can find anything to eat. I just came from Honolulu, so I know someone's is probably selling Vietnamese snacks nearby. I saw this place and ventured in anyways. Not sure if I was early or late but they did not have many options like I see in other photos on here. I did grab a few snacks for the drive and eat with my uncle. I grabbed a banh bao (steam bun with pork), banh cuon (steam rolled cakes with shrimp), banh gio (cake leg, it's a pyramid shaped dish with meat), goi cuon (summer/spring roll) and a coconut water. I ate with my eyes because I did not finish all of it. Lol. I liked that everything was to-go, but did notice they had other dishes you can order. I was not impressed with the lady behind the counter. I can't HEAR you if you speak and say prices under your breath. I even repeated it back. So when I gave her the wrong change she looked at me like I was a screw up in life. Sheesh.

True to its namesake, his place has the best lemongrass tofu I've ever had! :) When I'm passing through the area, it's always a treat to stop by for a few pieces of delicious fried tofu. I've been going here for years, and I've followed them from their old location because the tofu is just so good. The fungus (wood ear mushroom, I think) flavor is really nice, too! For those of y'all leaving bad reviews based solely on the banh mi or other dishes, I'd advise you to try out the tofu! It's in the name, after all. All in all, an amazing place for yummy tofu, and I love the ambience with the yellow walls and chill people milling around. Please come here and get the tofu when you have a chance :)

Forgot to take pictures here, but I've gotten food here a couple times. The people who work here really are the nicest. I came in at the end of the day once and the lady working there was offering a lot of the packaged meals at nearly half off. Now, the original price of those meals was a little higher than at VN Tofu but the reduced price was cheaper. She was probably just doing that because it was the end of the day and didn't want the food to go to waste, but that's a good sign - it means they actually only keep the food there when it is fresh. Another time I came in my mask had broken in the car and I had to tie my kitchen towel that was in the car around my face which was annoying to keep in place and the first thing the man who worked there did when I came in the door was give me a real mask. Regarding the food: I have gotten the mushroom tofu, bánh bò nướng (honeycomb cake), and a boxed meal with rice noodles, lemongrass pork, vegetables and pork egg rolls with fish sauce. The honeycomb cake was delicious. Delightfully spongey texture, and perfect sweetness level. Some of the desserts they sell come in from a different bakery that seems to be the supplier for VN Tofu, Hong Kong Supermarket, etc. but I wasn't sure whether this cake was from that supplier or whether they made it there - it was in a separate section from the other desserts. The mushroom tofu was also fantastic. The mushroom flavor was not too subtle nor too strong, and I don't quite recall the texture other than that I found it pleasant - I think it was firm tofu, but not sure. I know that was made fresh there. The boxed lunch was delicious, too! The best part was the fish sauce, but the noodles and the pork were really tasty. It did get a little dry after a day or two but that's probably why she was trying to sell it fresh. I didn't care for the pork egg roll, but that's specifically because it contained black pepper, my personal flavor nemesis. Overall: good food, nice staff. Would recommend, and I prefer this place to VN Tofu (as long as what I want is actually there; VN tofu does have a much wider variety)

As much as I love Vietnamese food, I already knew I was going to be disappointed upon walking into Saigon Tofu. It honestly just didn't feel very clean inside or look appetizing. Food is just laid out everywhere; some looked burnt or overcooked. Who knows how long some of the items have been laying out on the line. Luckily, all I came to order was banh mi, which I thought surely you can't mess up anywhere. They do a buy 5 get one free special just like most other Vietnamese stores so I ordered 10 to get 2 free. I asked for 11 dac biets (combination) and 1 thit nuong (bbq pork). I asked for veggies on the inside for 2 and on the side for the other 10. I was already disappointed because you can't see the food line at all- so I couldn't watch them make my sandwiches or look at the food quality. What bothered me the most, however, is that there were several employees there, but only one person making my sandwiches. I am not exaggerating when I say I had to wait about 30 minutes for my sandwiches. It took absolutely forever, and NOBODY bothered to jump in to help. There wasn't enough meat prepped, so I watched the lady making my sandwiches go cut more meat. It was unbelievable that there were so many employees there yet none jumping in to help even seeing how long I was standing there waiting. The store was not busy at all. Every once in awhile someone would come in and buy something from the lines. After patiently waiting for my food, I take it and head home. On my way home, I decided to check my bags to make sure everything was correct. She gave me 6 dac biets and 6 thit nuongs. I ALMOST decided to just deal with it and go home considering how long I had to wait. But to mess up 5 sandwiches and then me have to deal with it?! I just couldn't. I called them as I was headed back to the store, and they told me to call back in 15 minutes. I tried to explain to them that I was on the way back and I needed the sandwiches. She told me to call back. So I just head back to the store anyways. I got there and explained to them what happened. They started telling me I ordered 6 of each. I told them I did not. They then tried to insist that I did. I know for a fact I didn't because I specified multiple times how I wanted my order. I even asked them to separate the thit nuong into a separate bag so I'd know which one it was. In the end, they took it back and I think they were about to make my correct sandwiches. After waiting 30 minutes, having to drive back, then arguing with them, I knew I wasn't about to wait another 30 minutes for my new sandwiches. I asked them for a refund instead. They debated back and forth before giving me a refund for something they messed up. It was unbelievable. Finally I got my refund. I got no apology. Nothing offered to make up for the time lost, the lack of 5 sandwiches I had originally needed. They even charged me for the free 6th one that they had given me since I returned 5. I decided to go next door to the Farmers Market to order my 5 sandwiches instead. When I got home, I hoped that the sandwiches would at least be worth the hassle. It was the most mediocre banh mi I have ever eaten in my life. They gave one small ziplock bag of veggies (for 10 sandwiches?!), and the meat portion was insanely minimal. It was nearly tasteless that we had to add sauce ourselves at home. I will say that they give plenty of pate and mayo. But overall, this was the most disappointing what was intended to be a quick stop for food I've ever made in my life. Please do better.

Is it just me or some of the prices are higher than other shops of the like. It's not astronomical, but enough for me to ponder it after not having these Vietnamese goodies for so long. The selection and variety of packaged foods aren't much here. They have ready-made tofu that's $1. There was banh mi for sale as well. I believe there is a buy 5, get 1 deal or something of the sort. The Vietnamese iced black coffee with milk was perfect! It was a perfect blend of coffee and milk as to leaving just a hint of the coffee bitterness. Parking was plentiful as the complex is super huge.

Saigon Tofu has a great selection of Vietnamese "fast food, snacks, and drinks." From spring rolls to egg rolls to banh mi to yogurt to dumplings to tofu to sugarcane juice. That's right. I only come here for their sugarcane juice, which is very refreshing. Although the service is nice, their food aren't that tasty. Some are dry or do not have any flavors. Also, some are overprice and not worth the value.

So glad there's new leadership! Much better tasting banh mi. In the past, we have gotten sandwiches there and they were ok... but today, WOW! So good! Tons of meat given and not stingy like under previous owner.

Saigon Tofu is in the same plaza as City Farmers Market. To me, it's like VN Tofu in the same plaza as Hong Kong Supermarket. Just like City Farmers Market is no Hong Kong Supermarket. Saigon Tofu is definitely NOT like VN Tofu at all. I was highly disappointed walking in Saigon Tofu. I felt I was going to a food sale that someone rented. The space is small. It's hot. Long lines to purchase snack food. There wasn't even that many choices either. It only took me a minute to walk around and look, then I walked out. No thank you. If you want banh mi, just go inside City Farmers Market and order it from Lee's Bakery. Same deal 23/2017

What an amazing find. I loved the wide variety of home style type foods and the fresh delicious sugar cane and tofu pudding dessert. While the food itself is a little on the sweeter side then I grew up eating, I'd take this over another pho restaurant anyway. Awesome gem

Saigon Tofu is a Vietnamese "fast food" shop that sells freshly made, packaged, and ready-to-eat foods along with banh mi sandwiches, coffee, soymilk, and fresh-pressed juices. It's just like Viet Tofu down the street and VN Tofu in Norcross. The shop opened alongside City Farmers Market in October 2015 in the new Cho Saigon shopping plaza on Buford Highway, just north of Chamblee Tucker Rd. Saigon Tofu, the farmers market, and the shopping plaza all have the same owner. I like this place. You can pick up delicious near-restaurant-quality foods, including noodle soups, to eat at home. They do have a couple tables if you want to sit down inside plus a few tables out on the sidewalk, but this isn't a restaurant. It's a grab-and-go store. All banh mi sandwiches are $3.00 each. Similar to competitors like Lee's Bakery, if you buy 5 sandwiches, you get a 6th free. They have 7 varieties: 1. Dac Biet - special combo 2. Cha Lua - Vietnamese ham 3. Xiu Mai - pork meatballs 4. Ca Moi - sardines 5. Thit Nuong - BBQ pork 6. Ga Xe - shredded chicken 7. Cha Bong - shredded pork My favorite is the dac biet which comes with everything - various pork products (ham, pate, etc.), pickles, cilantro, green onion, and jalapeno on buttered French bread. Cha lua is included in the dac biet. The xiu mai is basically a Vietnamese meatball sub. If you've never had banh mi before, aren't an adventurous eater, or want a simpler sandwich, order #5 (thit nuong). There's a similar deal for soy milk. Buy 5, get 1 free. Soy milk is $1.50 for a small and $2.50 for a large. Anyone remember Quan Ba 9 (https://www.yelp.com/biz/quan-ba-9-atlanta), a.k.a. "Quan Ba Chin" ("chin" is how you pronounce the number 9 in Vietnamese), the defunct Vietnamese restaurant on Buford Highway near Dresden? Saigon Tofu sells food made by the same folks who were behind Quan Ba 9. Specifically, noodle soups: bun mam (Vietnamese gumbo), bun bo hue (beef noodle soup), and bun ga (chicken and bamboo shoot noodle soup). You can find these noodle soups in the fridges towards the back of the store. The broth and ingredients are packaged in separate containers then bagged, exactly like if you were to order a noodle soup at a restaurant to go. You assemble it together and reheat at home. I think it's pretty neat. These soups cost $6.50 to $7.50 each. Not bad at all. By the way, if you liked Quan Ba 9, you should check out Com Mai in Gwinnett. Most, if not all, of the foods have labels with ingredients listed in English along with "use by" dates. Most of the foods are made in the kitchen here. There's a hot bar with sweet and savory snacks. Items on the hot bar are supposed to be removed every 3 hours. They include things like pate chaud (or banh pate so, a Vietnamese flaky pastry with meat filling, $1.59), ham and cheese pastries ($1.29), and croissants ($0.99). Examples of other foods sold at Saigon Tofu: * Banh Gio ($2.00) - rice pyramid dumplings * Banh Beo Nhan Cade ($1.50) - dumpling with cade fillings * Mam Chung Cha Trung ($5.00) - Vietnamese meatloaf * Xoi Lap Xuong ($3.00) - sticky rice with Chinese sausage * Banh Bao Nhan Dau Do ($1.50) - dumpling with red bean filling * Banh Bao ($2.00) - steamed pork bun * Che ($1.50-$2.00) - Vietnamese pudding, various flavors * Coffee Agar Agar ($1.00) * Assorted jelly desserts ($1.50) * Various pork products, e.g. nem nuong - pork sausage ($6.00+) * Com Thit Nuong ($4.00) - rice with grilled pork chop * Bun Thit Nuong ($4.00) - vermicelli noodles with grilled pork chop * Lo Tai Heo Ngo Sen ($9.00) - pig ears with lotus rootlets * Cu Kieu Chua Ngot ($4.00) - sweet and sour pickled leeks * Banh Giay ($1.00) - glutinous rice cake * Bap Gia ($2.00) - young coconut * Roasted Veal * BBQ Pork * Xoi Gac ($2.00) - baby jackfruit sticky rice * Xoi Mau ($2.00) - sticky rice and coconut milk I recommend the che and jelly desserts (similar to what you can buy at Bambu at Asian Square), com thit nuong and bun thit nuong, and xoi gac and xoi mau. Most of the foods are served on styrofoam plates and then plastic-wrapped, so what you see is what you get. Some of the foods, like the banh giay, are simply plastic-wrapped. Drinks include hot and iced black coffee, hot or iced coffee with condensed milk, sugarcane juice (nuoc mia), pudding tofu (dau hu), pennywort juice (rau ma), and orange juice (nuoc cam). Oranges are freshly squeezed through a machine for the OJ and there's a sugarcane press they use to make sugarcane drinks. The equipment is behind the counter so you can watch your drinks get made. I like the iced coffee with condensed milk (ca phe sua da). It's somewhat strong and very sweet. Note: Cups are filled with ice cubes to the brim. That's normal, so don't think you're getting hosed on the amount of coffee. The juices are cold and refreshing. Good service. Credit cards are accepted and receipts print clearly. City Farmers Market will show up as the vendor. All in all, Saigon Tofu is another win for Buford Highway.

Everybody do not dine or buy anything from this store... I order the banh mi here and it taste like crap.... The pork inside has a disgusting rotten smell to it.... And the cha lua has a wet horrible feel and taste to it.... I took one bite and I almost threw up.. I ended up throwing away the whole sandwich.... When I come in, there was absolutely nobody inside except one worker and from her attitude it seems like she just wantef to go home... And it was only 6pm.... They close at 9pm!!!

Such a food culture experience even just stepping into the shop. So far, I have enjoyed their banh cuon (steamed rice rolls), fresh spring rolls with shrimp, and the roast belly pork (this can be addictive especially after putting them in the toaster oven to crisp). They have a wide assortment of fried snacks and tofu, and does take some self control since they're likely unhealthy if consumed in quantity and high frequency. I tried their soft tofu pudding but the texture isn't as smooth as that found in Taiwanese or Chinese shops. Lots of sweet dessert options. It is an extremely busy shop with tight spaces and no social distancing enforced or practised. Even with masks, I felt a little unsafe and will likely go during their off peak hours.

Nice pep but not very fast. First time I order banh mi from here and it's was grossly disappointing. The least amount of meat of any banh mi place ever!

I was hungry so wanna grab a snack before having lunch. I had to do grocery at City Market so I came to Saigon Tofu. Normally, Viet Tofu is the place for me. Anyhow, it's my first time here so I thought I would give it a try. Not sure if it's still too early but they didn't have many options like Viet Tofu did. Usually, I get the shrimp egg rolls, nem nuong (meatballs), and the beef wrapped in grape leaves. I feel pricewise, Viet Tofu is cheaper and has a better deal. For the beef wrapped in grape leaves, at Viet Tofu you buy 5 and get 1 free. Not only that beef in grape leaves is tiny here compare to fat ones in Viet Tofu. Yes, Yes, Yes, I'm comparing this place a lot with Viet Tofu but I have to. Shrimp egg rolls were cold and chewy. Nem Nuong is so tiny too! Overall, I was disappointed with the food. I will give it a try again since like I said, I'm not sure if it's because I was there early. I was there at 10am. 2.5 stars

I could not have made this up. I bought a $3.50 ice coffee and got a cup full of ice with a quarter of coffee. Asked the manager and he said 'it is what it is. Well...this yelp review to my peeps 'is what it is'.

I suppose they're still tweaking their system here. My first time here wasn't planned; I intended to go next door to City Farmers Market. When I noticed that they opened at 9am, my belly started grumbling and I decided to grab a bite first. So when the doors opened, there was NOBODY behind the counter. I saw people begin to bring freshly prepared items from the kitchen and into the self serve area, but nobody to take the order for the banh mi I wanted. I grabbed a soda and some snacks, and around 9:05, a young lady from City Farmers Market walks behind the register, presumably to assume duties there, but nah. She took my order, and then proceeded to NOT explain that the person who takes orders and rings them up until another 5 minutes later and she had no idea what she was doing other than taking up space. When the proper person DID arrive at 9:20, I should have just cancelled. She was flustered and based on the fact that the gentleman from the kitchen had to instruct her on how to make banh mi on the spot , I should have known to just cancel my order, but I was hangry by that point (and wanted to pay for the veggie roll that I ate during my wait). Oh, that woeful banh mi. Dry and not properly dressed. Anyway, I came back a week later; this time in the evening, and I was pleased to see someone at the ready behind the counter and seeming to know what she was doing. However, all of the banh mi choices weren't available. It was better this time around, although she was painfully slow, and slopped too much mayo on. I also noticed that there were various com tam and other full entrees this time ready to go on the self serve line, and this is what I prefer now. There's also two cold cases, a small one for drinks, and a large one full of other goodies. I'm crossing my fingers that everything will improve once they find their rhythm.

WOW! This place is awesome! I stopped by after checking out the city farmer's market next door and was pleased with their selections of vietnamese goodies. I got a packaged, ready to eat vermicelli and grilled pork plate (4 bucks!!!), sticky rice with chicken, and this roll wrapped with tofu skin (I think it is filled with vietnamese meatloaf). They are all delicious and so cheap! My total was a little over 8 dollars and they can't take credit card (10 dollars minimum)! Fortunately I had some cash with me. Definitely will come back to try their bun bo hue meal next time - I wish I had checked out their refrigerated area!!!

Pretty poor/rude customer service... but. The food is good and there's no arguing that. There are cheaper places with the same foods around but by all means - it's still cheap and yummy.

This will probably be the LAST Time I'll ever order from these people. I am Vegan and they put actual Meat inside the Bahn mi. There was a moron there that didn't know English, So I told my buddy (Who speaks fluent Vietnamese and English) About our orders. Apparently, we are both Vegans. I called and told the same Employee about our order she just say "okay, I am sorry!" and said something rude in Vietnamese and hung us up. Apparently, I will never come back to this area. $16 wasted on stuff that we can't eat. I would never reccomend this Establishment if you are on Dietary restrictions in your meals.

Banh pate chaud (puff pastry): don't recommend. Not much flavor except alot of salt. Way overpriced at $2. Cha gio (egg rolls): don't recommend. The last three times I've purchased, they've been overcooked and even burned. The last couple of times have an odd, fishy taste. $.60/roll is pretty fair. Sandwiches: "Special" banh mi is the only real redeeming quality. The bread is good, and they add enough pate and mayo. $3/sandwich is standard. Banh gio (pyramid cake): This is a savory, steamed rice flour cake thing, filled with minced pork and mushrooms. It tastes ok, but also overpriced at $2 (or $2.50? Either way, it's too much...) Service: Service used to be much nicer. A newer person started, and she tries to upsell us to five sandwiches to get the the one free. Having to refuse more than once during a transaction (for freaking sandwiches) is pushy. We've also got some nasty stares, and even some head-shaking from the same person. Not sure what that's about, but it makes us uncomfy enough to not want to come back anytime soon. Overall I don't recommend since the quality of the food isn't worth the price and downhill service.

When I am craving some of my favorite Vietnamese dishes that you can't order at restaurants, I hit up Saigon Tofu. I have come here many times and love it here. Dishes are made fresh daily and when I go, I usually pick up a big, fluffy bao and some banh cuon (steamed rice rolls).They have a $10 dollar minimum purchase so make sure you have some cash unless you're planning to buy more than $10 of food. It's a great one-stop shop for homestyle Vietnamese food right on Buford Highway! This place is connected to the City Farmer's Market too so if you need anything else, you can make a stop next door.

First time here! I love this place! The bahn mi's are THE BOMB!!! I'm a Lee's Bakery loyalist but this place might change that. Also, love their homemade tofu... At 6/$1, how can you go wrong?! Be warned, they run out of stuff quickly, so hop to it.
