Restaurant with great tofu?

[Anonymous]

My son, who loves tofu, is turning 10 today and asked to go to a restaurant with good tofu. Any recommendations?

We're in McLean, but happy to travel for a birthday dinner.

I’ve heard Thanh Son tofu at Eden Center is great but I’m not actually sure if they have eat-in?

ps if not you could go elsewhere in Eden Center and then get some tofu to go— win/win

Lighthouse Tofu (Vit Goel) for Korean style tofu pot -- they have locations in Annandale and Centreville.

Otherwise, pretty much any authentic Chinese place will have several different options -- I guess it depends on what style of tofu you want to eat...

Love the deep fried tofu dishes at Meiwah in Chevy Chase.

I second this.

Salt and pepper tofu from any Cantonese restaurant.

Braised bean curd with vegetables also from a Cantonese restaurant.

OP, where did you end up going? What did you get, and how was it?
