Chung Seng Food Manufacturer

1. They don’t have big standout sign, make sure you look for the street number when get around the area; 2, a small parking area which might fit 10 – 12 cars, not sure if street parking is allowed. But parking was not a issue to me at all for the few times I’ve been there; 3. This place is cash only; 4. Their tofu pudding is very authentic, strongly recommend, and they use organic soy beans; 5. They open on Saturdays which is a big plus to this place, especially for people who work on the weekdays.

I love their fresh stinky tofu. It’s as fresh as you can get from this side of the Pacific. The ladies are always nice. It freaked me out the 1^st time she called me baby but I guess she calls everyone that so I’m used to it. Come on weekends when they have other assorted goodies.

I’m writing a review for their tofu fa (tofu jello) I have been coming here ever since 10 years ago. It’s still the best tofu fa place I know

Such an unlikely place for such deliciousness. Seriously, this place is in the middle of commercial warehouses and office space. But tucked into the end of an unassuming street you’ll find quality made tofu products limited sauces and accompaniments for those tofu products.
I love soymilk and tofu pudding. So I knew I had to try it when I learned that it was made with organic soy beans. The texture of the pudding is much softer than the ones that you buy at the grocery store. But oh the flavor! The flavor of the soybeans, that fragrance was much stronger in this pudding. So good! While I do like the ginger syrup usually in my tofu pudding, the brown sugar syrup that this pudding came with was good too.
This place is cash only though, be warned. I walked in with only $ 10 on me. So I only bought two things of so I’m putting and a bottle of the unsweetened soy milk. I’ll be sure to buy more next time. And there will be a next time: D.

Our family loves this place! Their stinky tofu is made fresh and everything else is pretty much organic from their farm in paso robles. The line gets reaaaally long around 11 – it’s asian central. But I think k it’s pretty worth it for their stinky tofu.

Worth the drive. Very fresh tofu products. I picked up the tofu dessert and fried tofu. Should have bought more considering the trek wasn’t a short one.

I knew I screwed up when I bought 1 bag of tofu pudding and the guy behind me grabs 6. I thought about doing a 180 and grabbing a couple more for good measure. Stick with the plan, stick with the plan! You came here for the tofu, that’s it!
Plan fell through. I grabbed a black tea and a pound of organic carrots.
Tofu pudding 2.50 — cold. I wish it were hot. The brown sugar syrup tastes like the Indonesian gula jawa, which I think is coconut sugar. It’s richer than cane, less body than caramel. Think palm sugar but less sweet. Also missing is that ginger zing I like in my tofu puddings. I like it less than the tofu at dim sum places. ³⁄₅
Black tea 1.75 — tea infused with shiso. Genius. The shiso lightens the tea and takes it to new heights. I had a sore throat and this tea had an amazing cooling effect on my throat. Grab two. ⁵⁄₅
Carrots 1.75 — these carrots were beautiful. If you opened up an encyclopedia to carrots these very carrots would be pictured in that book. Slender, bright, uniform and washed. I hear the most beneficial part of the carrot is the skin and it being organic I could leave it on and not worrying about growing a third eye. I may go here just to buy produce. ⁵⁄₅
They also carry various tofu products and miscellaneous grocery items. Will be back for more black tea.

This place is the best Tofu place to go for preparing authentic Taiwanese food and Chinese food. Everything is great and very very tasty, especially the To-​Fu-​Pee (the fry to-​fu skin in translation) you marinate that in a little Terriyaki sauce or soy… it is great.
I am writing this review to «vent» and «revenge». I was there couple days before New Years and I called specifically «specifically» for ToFu and asked «Is there any more tofu?» The owner says, «Yes, please come over… now». I came over the store 30 mn later at 3:00 P.M. She then reply «haaaa it was all gone. last bag of to fu was just sold out a moment ago.» I was just flabbergasted and piss-​off… «I called you said there were available…» «Just run-​out…» was the reply.
They constantly run-​out-​of ToFu all the time cus it is so delicious and popular (no other place like it), so make sure you call in, BEFORE you waste time driving to pick and leave with empty handed…
What an ass, she never even apologized for the mishap…
I just shake my head (walked away empty handed) and she just «stared at me laughing» i was thinking… What da fock…@^@#%!@#*@#)!@#(*!@@@!!)()((($$#?
Sincerely,
No-​More-​Tofu-​Man
P. S. Question? I am thinking one day, I am going to buy one pound of ToFu and then pay for it and then «just leave» without picking up and leave her hanging and don’t care and don’t want no refund… just leave. «Just to show, I can buy it and now I don’t want it… you think that is a good food revenge?

Best variety tofu choices and best tofu dessert around LA area.
Soybean milk is all fresh without any chemical stuff in it.
I become a fan since I tried the tofu dessert last year!

She is always sweet n lovely. If you ever try their tofu desert, you will never want to eat others. This is the best place for tofu desert.

I agree with the other reviewers about Chung Seng being a hidden gem.
Even with the GPS, we had to double back and convince ourselves that this was the right place.
I have a usual tofu/​soy milk place close to home, but when I’m out this way, this will be a definite stop from now on.
It’s very spartan inside but they’ve got what I need and then some!
We went on a Saturday and apparently they only put out handmade noodles on that day.
What a difference to cook up noodles the same day they were made!
This spoiled my husband for the usual noodles we buy at Asian markets from the refrigerated section.
That super nice lady at the counter gave me some detailed helpful instructions on how to prepare the noodles for cooking. Her advice is much appreciated.
What made my eyes light up were freshly fried tofu squares.
So fresh that the oil was still draining from the pieces. They’re sitting in a strainer right now so that they could dry out a bit more.
Tried one on the way home and I regretted not buying more. There’s so many possibilities on what you could do with these. They’re very light and airy on the inside.
Perfect for making stuffed tofu pouches.
It’s self-​serve so grab a bag and fill it up!
Other offerings:
Stinky tofu (on Saturdays)
Big blocks of regular tofu.
A fridge full of soy milk and other soy products
Some groceries in the back room
Big trays of different styles of fried tofu
Packaged nuts, etc.
I can’t wait to go back.

Very hidden indeed! You definitely need the GPS for this one… there is no signage in the front. the only signage is actually in the back towards Carrey Rd.
They have mostly soy products here made fresh at the location that’s located in the two big fridges that you see the minute you enter the door. They also have various sauces and such in the back of the store.
The soy milk here is quite cheap at $ 2 for the half gallon size. However, I feel It’s a bit water down, not that sweet (for the sweeten version), and not that strong of a soy taste to it compared to its supermarket equivalents. Then, again, maybe because it’s organic? Fresh organic bean curd skin at about $ 2.50 for a package was a great value and tasted good.
The lady behind the counter is very nice and friendly. She mentioned she usually put out fresh products each morning at 9.

This is a place for people who likes to get organic soybean products.
The location is very hidden, so you might want to find directions first before you go there as this place caters mostly to the restaurants/​food vendors.
I come here mostly for few things, their Tofu Snack (in a bowl, with syrup) and also their stinky tofu and handmade noodles (available on saturday only). Its very legit, traditional Taiwanese style food. I can assure this is one of the best if you want to get those soy products. It can be a bit pricy but you get what you paid for.

This place has been around since I moved to California and they’re still in business (thank goodness!). This is a very small mom & pop like shop in an industrial area, but everything here is FRESH. Mostly soy products but I do see veggies and other pre-​packaged goods once in a while.
Soymilk is about a $ 1 cheaper here than the grocery stores! If you go in when they open on Saturdays you can nab the tofu peels. They also have some other great items in the fridge. Expect to a bit more for some items though, as they are organic.
Taiwanese owned, super friendly.

What a hidden gem! The food is so fresh and delicious! I love their stinky tofu, cold noodles, soy milk, and tofu dessert. Go try them, you won’t be disappointed!

After going to pump some «hard core iron» (aka body pump and treadmill) at my local 24 hour fitness, I felt the need to ingest some manly protein.
My work out buddy and I were driving along Commerce Way when the Chung Seng Food Manufacturer sign seemed to light up on the side of the street. My work out buddy suggested we pop in and get some tofu! I had a ?!? expression on my sweaty face but she assured me it would be good.
Got some «tofu hua» (bowl of soft tofu, eaten cold with syrup drizzled on top) for $ 3.00 and was on my way. The lady who owns this store called me her «sweetheart» and looked like she wanted to squeeze my cheeks. It was fresh. cold. delicious. refreshing.
Although Chung Seng Food Manufacturer is a very odd little store located in the industrial office area of Walnut, I appreciate it’s existence. It has now become one my regular stops on the way home. Although probably not a place someone should drive more than 15 minutes to visit, it is actually sort of a «hidden» gem. Gah, for the love of tofu, I hope this place stays open forever!

This is a great hidden gem. My parents have been taking me here since I was little. I understand that they have had an ownership change, however I was there recently and I don’t feel like there is any difference in quality. FRESH FRESH FRESH!
Throughout the day, they have different Tofu/​Bean Curd that is available fried. They only fry stinky tofu on Saturdays though, so be sure to find time to go then.
The owner is a nice lady who can definitely multi-​task. She has great tips and answers any questions asked.
Make sure you look this up on the map prior to going as you can easily miss it.

Fresh & delicious, especially tofu, soymilk and sweet tofu :)

Best tofu store EVER.
Our shopping list normally includes:
— Bean Curd
— Bean Curd Skin (Sometimes available fried)
— Regular Tofu (Sometimes available fried)
— Soymilk (Sweet/​Unsweetened)
— Sweet Tofu (Dou Hua)
Non-​gmo beans used and no preservatives. Fresh, high quality, no weird funky flavors added into the tofu. Just HARDCORE tofu.
Our vegetarian family has been to many tofu stores, and this one is our favorite.

This place is like an old people secret. Apparently people line up and the place sells out before noon. What is this place? It’s a place that makes small batches of Tofu. My dad woke up early just to go to this place, line up and get me some To Fu Hua (they have other stuff too). I can tell you that this place is pretty fresh in the ToFu. You can tell that the quality is quite high and why people come out to get it. If you’re a ToFu fan, this place is a must to visit and buy.
