" My dinner at Tofu King was unforgettable! The stinky tofu was indeed the star of the show, and I couldn't get enough of it. I also enjoyed the therapeutic feeling of sharing meals amongst friends. The restaurant’s atmosphere was reminiscent of small shops in Taiwan. More than just dining, it was an authentic experience that I'm eager to have again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Tofu King last weekend, and it was a delightful experience! The atmosphere was cozy, and I felt right at home as I savored the authentic Taiwanese flavors from my childhood. They serve the best stinky tofu, perfectly seasoned and crispy. Overall, it has a warm and inviting vibe, just a little on the simpler side. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tofu King has such a delightful twist on traditional Taiwanese dishes! The atmosphere was lively and the stinky tofu was delicious. Service could have been a tad quicker, but it was worth the wait. I tried several dishes and each one felt like being transported right to the streets of Taipei. The prices are on point for the quality offered. I'll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was excited to visit Tofu King, my experience wasn’t perfect. I tried the stinky tofu, which was good, but not as authentic. Service felt a bit rushed, and the atmosphere was quite loud due to the crowd. The braised pork rice was tasty but didn’t stand out among other places I’ve visited. This might be a hit or miss for others; I’d give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit to Tofu King overall. The food was decent, but I expected it to be a bit more flavorful based on what others said. The stinky tofu was fine, but not as authentic as my experiences in Taiwan. Their desserts looked promising; however, I was too full to try them. Service was attentive which was a plus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tofu King offers a truly unique experience! If you’re not used to authentic Taiwanese flavors, this place might be an adventure. The stinky tofu was pungent but just as delicious as I hoped. I also tried their beef noodle soup, which packed a rich and hearty flavor. I recommend this place for anyone looking to broaden their palate and dive into Taiwanese cuisine, but be prepared for the strong tastes. Friendly service too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tofu King is the go-to place for serious Taiwanese food enthusiasts. After visiting many Taiwanese places, I found that this spot delivers authentic flavors with every bite. Their stinky tofu is second to none - crispy and delicious, the way it should be! The staff was helpful, making our visit enjoyable. The atmosphere could improve, but it keeps its focus on quality food. Excited to explore their entire menu on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
