  • I drove all the way from Buffalo just to have stinky tofu at Wei's, and man, oh man, did they deliver. They serve up excellent Taiwanese classics such as three cup chicken, Taiwanese sausage, eggplant and, of course, STINKY TOFU! as either small plates (a la night market) or as lunch boxes. Portion sizes for their box lunches were excellent, each main comes with two side dishes, and the food tasted authentic and flavorful. I had gotten the three cup eggplant, which was mmmm-mmmmm good. Now onto the stinky tofu: This is the only place that I know of that 1) has stinky tofu at all and 2) does it well, according to various reviews. Overall, I would have to agree as well. It's served up just like it is at Taiwnese night markets: on a plate with pickled cabbage. It wasn't as stinky as I'd like, but I have come to expect that of non-Taiwanese stinky tofu. In fact, certain cities have laws against fermenting the tofu for as long as it should ferment, so I hardly hold that against them. After all, I hear it's an acquired taste. All that being said, the flavor of the tofu was spot on, and their pickled cabbage was delish. Why not 5 stars? Weellll... The stinky tofu was missing minced garlic. When I asked for it, they said there's garlic in a sauce that they make, and they then gave me the sauce. I have to go back and try the sauce again to make sure, but that day it had kind of a funny aftertaste that really took the experience down a notch. Not enough to deter me from making another drive back to Wei's, but just enough that I can't say this is as good as it gets. Granted, I'd be hard-pressed to give any non-Taiwan stinky tofu that perfect rating... A couple things to be careful of: 1) it seems as though they make a big batch of food in the AM and open until they've sold out, so if you want to keep your menu options open, come earlier rather than later lest they run out of food. We had arrived at around 11, 11:30am, and I barely got the last of the eggplant. 2) it's a rather small space, not really meant for dining in, but they do have a couple tables. Last time, my party of 3 was able to make do just fine, but this place is definitely meant for takeout. All in all, food was delicious and the owners were super, super nice! Best Taiwanese I've been able to get since moving to Buffalo. I consider it completely worth the drive.
