My dad recently introduced me to a great little Vietnamese Deli/Fast Food spot on Buford Hwy, Viet Tofu, next to Mini-Hotpot Restaurant and Hoa Binh supermarket, in Orient Center shopping plaza.  I haven’t tried everything (working on it!) but these are my favorites:

• Fresh soymilk (traditional-style, minimal processing,  sweetened or unsweetened, maybe too beany for some, often available still warm in the jug! If it looks light green, it’s not an illusion, it’s pandan leaf extract)
• Soft tofu pudding/custard (with syrup/honey, popular, simple, light dessert/snack for Asians)
• Sweet, sticky rice with coconut and variety of beans (Asians often eat beans sweet)
• Fresh soursop or avocado smoothie/shake, tapioca balls optional (not always available so call ahead)
• Vietnamese sub sandwich, only $2.50!  (I get mine with extra vegetables, white bread but still good. Stuffed with pickled carrots, daikon, roasted pork, cilantro, jalapenos, dressing. BYOBread?)
• Ready-made dishes (I tried a variety of the veggie ones–stew, salad, lemongrass chili tofu)
• Black sesame crepe crisps (new discovery–super-thin, made fresh in clear bags near the entrance/window)
• Tofu Hot Bar! (different flavors, sizes, mostly fried–good plain or cut up in stir fries, soups, kebabs)

Let me know if you discover favorites and share them here!
