" Tofu King has authentic Taiwanese food that reminds me of home! Every dish I tried was delicious and bursting with flavor. The stinky tofu had the right amount of crunch, and the flavor was hearty. The price is very reasonable for the quality and portion size. While the environment is casual, I appreciate that it feels like a hidden gem. Can't wait to come back and introduce my friends to this culinary experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Tofu King was not as grand as others. The stinky tofu was good but lacked the punch I expected, and the other dishes fell short of authentic. The service was adequate, but the place felt a bit too cramped for my liking. I might give it another try since it has a good reputation. Hoping for a better visit next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried Tofu King and I can't believe it took me so long! The stinky tofu was everything I hoped for – crispy, flavorful, and rich in that signature smell. I also had the braised pork rice, which was delicious and comforting. The service was attentive, and even though the space is small, it has a homey feel that's welcoming. Tofu King is officially my new favorite spot for Taiwanese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Tofu King after all the reviews, but my experience was just so-so. The stinky tofu was decent, but I’ve had better in Taiwan. The prices are fair, but the portion sizes could be larger. I wish the atmosphere was more inviting. Service was friendly but not remarkable. I might stop by again for a different dish in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to this and maybe that was my downfall. The flavors were decent, but overall I found the food to be more of a mediocre take on Taiwanese cuisine than what I expected. The service was acceptable, but I didn't feel like I got that special 'authentic' vibe they pride themselves on. Maybe I’ll try it again, but I left feeling disappointed rather than satisfied. " (*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*)
