Hoang Tofu

I always go here for their banh mi and their banh tet thit and banh chung. The banh mi is great! I think it's a perfect size for the price. They're not as big as some other banh mis you might find around (those are more expensive), but I think they're perfect as they are; I like to finish my banh mis in one sitting anyway. They sell them Buy 5 get 1 free at $5 each (2023 prices, may rise with inflation), so for $25+tax you basically get lunch for the entire week. There are a ton of options too. It's my go to when I know I have a busy week coming up and limited time to make food! They also sell a lot of things you can't find anywhere else. Banh tet thit and banh chung being some of those. It's absolutely delicious and everything I was looking for. I'm super glad this place exists in Nashville, otherwise I'd be forced to try to learn how to make these tough dishes all by myself. They keep the place very neat and clean, but the ambiance doesn't really lend itself super well as a dine-in place. I love it as a place to quickly pick up some pre-prepped banh tet thit and banh chung from their fridge, while waiting a few minutes for them to prep your banh mi (they're fast!). I bring those home, store my haul of banh mi in the fridge and when I'm ready, heat it up in the oven until the bread is a little crispy, then stuff in the veggies they sometimes package on the side for you when they know you're not eating all of them right away. I also store the banh tet thit and banh chung in my fridge, then cut it up and heat it in the microwave when I am ready to eat those. Usually all gone within the week! Going here is my dose of happiness, I love this little place!

It was our first time here. We stopped by for breakfast when visiting Nashville. I was glad that they opened at 8:30am. We ordered Pho, Bun Rieu and Banh Mi dac biet. I liked their banh mi a lot. It’s very crunchy outside and soft/fluffy inside. They make banh mi and Cha Lua (steamed pork roll) in house so they were very fresh at the time I ordered. We also got Nuoc Mia (sugar cane juice) and coconut jelly dessert. They were both delicious!!!! Definitely gonna go back for other items when we’re in town.

Best banh mi I've found in a long time. They have lots of options to order. I got combination and the grilled pork ones and they are DELICIOUS! I bought more after trying them. They make everything in house including the bread which I think really makes the banh mi. The grilled pork tastes really fresh and seasoning is just right and has a good butter. They put lots of meat and ingredients into their banh mi! They sell a variety of dishes here in addition to their tofu. I recommend their fried tofu! It's soft and creaThey have steamed rice cakes, Vietnamese hams, desserts and many more. Sugar cane juice was so good! Owners were really nice and quick! This is a busy place and many people place orders before coming in.

Small restaurant, unassuming, very clean and the food is beyond amazing. Menu is limited but that is fine because everything they offer is the best of what it is. I see some people complaining about it not being clean but the only time I've seen that is when it's busy, they don't bus the tables fast. But I don't even care because the food is that good and it's a little family owned place that seems very clean overall.

When asked if you had to chose your last meal today, what would you choose my answer 6/7 days of the week is pho (I will occasionally respond street tacos if I am moody). That being said, I consider myself a pho connoisseur and make it a point to find the best pho in a city. Having recently moved to Nashville I have just begun that journey and this is the third place I have been to so far (Pho Annes, Saigon Palace, and now here). In terms of the pho alone, this was the best so far. When considering ambiance, and if you are eating at the restaurant, I would say Pho Annes would be the better pick. Ambiance: 1/5, very small, not the cleanest, TV was crazy loud, but really seems like a take out place anyways. but pho is not about the ambiance for me its purely for the food. Would recommend just doing take out, problem solved. Pho: Broth: 5/5, he even gave it cold rather than reheating then us again reheating at home meat: 4/5, large amount was given so thats a bonus noodles: 5/5, not overcooked, reheated perfectly To-go packaging: 4/5 (everything packed well and tight but no hoisin sauce/chili oil was given on side) Pricing: 5/5 Bahn Mi: Bread: 3/5 slightly soggy by the time we got home (10 min drive) Pickles: 3/5, cucumber was not pickled and quantity was small meat: 2/5, very small amount not super flavorfull price: 5/5 - was 4-5$ Cons: no cha gio (crispy rolls) on menu, bahn mi was slightly soggy and not much meat at all but very cheap, mainly a take-out only place, only 1 type of pho (beef) pros: very reasonably priced - bahn mi was like 4-5$ and pho 13$, large amount, well packaged, broth had incredible flavor Overall this was my favorite pho so far but definitely a to-go only sort of place with very limited menu. Will 100% be going back and as long as im not in the mood for cha goi this will be to go place.

Small family owned Vietnamese deli -- perfect for a quick lunch! Very delicious banh mi, despite being only $4.50! I got the lemongrass tofu and grilled pork banh mis and both were fantastic! There are also a selection of homemade Vietnamese goodies like banh chung (sticky rice with pork), fish cakes, egg tarts, meat pies, flan, pandan jelly, and sugar cane juice! Will be trying the noodle soup options (like pho and bun rieu) during my next visit! -- All the dishes I've tried: 🥖 Banh Mi: I've gotten 4 banh mi here (grilled pork, lemongrass tofu, Vietnamese bologna, and Korean BBQ beef) and they're consistently good for the price ($4.50). The baguette is reminiscent of New Orleans bread -- crackly exterior and soft fluffy interior. Each banh mi has a thin layer of pate, pickled carrot and daikon, cilantro, and jalapeno. 🧋Sam bo luong (che sam bo): A really unique Vietnamese dessert soup -- it has pearl barley, dried longan, jujubes, lotus seeds, and sliced seaweed in a sugar water base. Not my favorite, but I'm glad I've tried it. 🍗 Hainanese Chicken (Cơm Gà Hải Nam): Poached chicken and rice accompanied with cucumbers, mint, cilantro, leafy greens, and spicy fish sauce. The rice is really flavorful since it's cooked in chicken broth. I wish there was more chicken, but overall a balanced dish. 🍮 Egg tart: Very tasty -- the crust is flaky and buttery and the egg custard is rich and sweet. 🥝 Coconut pandan jelly: A multi-layered jelly flavored with pandan and coconut. Not too sweet. 🍙 Banh chung: Sticky rice, mung bean paste, and pork wrapped in banana leaves. 🥧 Vietnamese meat pie (pate chaud): A flaky pastry with a ground pork filling. Tasted great but it's been a while so I don't remember it much. 🍢 Fish cakes: I've gotten a container of fish cakes from here to eat with rice. They're good, but my boyfriend thinks they are stinky.
