House of Tofu

House of Tofu – I’ve been to a number of their locations ie Richmond and Metrotown location, however those places have sinced closed down. I recall the impression of these restaurants were mediocre. This one in on North Road is surprisingly delicious! The portion and quality of the dishes were well prepared and full of flavour. Their signature dishes is clearly their tofu soup which you can choose different protein flavour and level of spiciness. My flavourite is the seafood with medium spicy soup. The deep flavour from the seafood really enhances the soup overall and their in house tofu makes it super hearty and filling. Another thing that I really enjoy is the rice they have. They prepare it in this silver bowl but it’s warmed up down below so it creates a rice crust on the bottom which is such a treat to have. When you get to the bottom of the rice and you pour in the soup to scrape up the crust – it’s a nice crunchy texture to eat!  Another dish that they do really well is the seafood pancake. I enjoy this dish a lot because it’s really nice and crispy on the outside and soft and moist in the inside. I’ve been to a few restaurants that serve the pancake, but it always turns out more soggy and everything falls apart once you grab a piece which is pretty annoying. Their pancake holds very well, and when you dip into the sauce, the crunch is still there! It’s doesn’t leave a greasy aftertaste nor feel heavy after eating it. I’ve been there a few times, and these two are usually my staple dishes I order when I dine in. P.S. I’m not sure if the restaurant is a partnership with Basak Cafe, but I know that if you dine with House of Tofu, you can get 10% off at Basak. So something to think about when you do order from there!
