    Disclaimer: I've never had stinky tofu before so I can't give a defenitive rating on it. If you're adventurous and want to try a true delicacy, then stinky tofu might be the next food you try. This was my first time trying stinky tofu all because my friend decided today was the day to do so. Tofu King is known for their stinky tofu, but also serve other Taiwanese rice and noodle dishes that complement the delicacy. I already had expectations of what to be prepared for, but walking into the restaurant my sense of smell was assaulted like walking into a wall of fermentation. You quickly get adjusted to the smell after a few minutes, but be warned your clothes will reek. To be completely honest, the stinky tofu wasn't for me. The tofu itself doesn't smell as bad as the air you're breathing. The taste is definitely acquired, there is a strong strong fermented taste with every chew. I also ordered the fried chicken fillet with rice so at least I'd have some rice to eat with the tofu. It was good, the chicken was flavorful but I wish the corn had some more seasoning or flavor to it. Service is fast as well, so it's a pretty quick in and out.

    This place is legit. Best stinky tofu. I went to the Arcadia place and was unimpressed but this place tasted way better. The fried pork chop is also the best I have had in the area. I had it with noodles and it wasn't special. I may go for the rice version of it. Rest of the plates tasted great. Felt like I was in Taiwan.

    A friend loves this place and recommended it one day during our hangouts and I was all for it since I love Taiwanese food. Place is small with several tables - not the best with big parties of 6+ I'd say but they definitely try to accommodate you. We ordered beef roll, scallion pancakes, cold dish appetizer, both versions of stinky tofu, beef noodle, and rice plates. I think this place is mainly big on their stinky tofu which I was always just okay with...but now that I've been introduced to the non-fried version I'm a huge fan! The non-fried version is almost soupy due to the sauce and it has a nice spicy kick. It's pretty flavorful and pungent since it is stinky tofu lol. Beef noodle was actually average for me, mostly because it wasn't spicy. I added in the spicy sauce from the stinky tofu actually amplified the beef noodle for me! Highly recommend to try this combo if you like your beef noodle soup to be spicy; I might keep doing this if I order beef noodle soup here! Cold dish, beef roll and scallion pancakes all tasted good. I did feel the beef roll didn't have as much filling in sauce + meet as I'd prefer but it was still good. Overall all the dishes we had were yummy but the highlight for me was the steamed version of stinky tofu with the spicy sauce!! I do want to come back here for some comfort Taiwanese food; it definitely hit the spot. And now that I'm converted to stinky tofu - definitely want to get more of it! Worth a try if you want some authentic Taiwanese comfort food :)
