The Northwest Tofu restaurant is located in the front section of a working tofu factory. While the ambience is of the office-waiting-room variety, the old-school Chinese food is delicious (and includes meat dishes). Their salt-and-pepper tofu is a terrific combination of seasoned crispy fried crust and silky smooth inside, best when augmented with some garlic chili condiment. Be sure to check out the factory in the back—the tofu-making process is fascinating. You can also buy freshly made tofu, tofu skin, and soy milk to take home with you.

Seconded. That place is pretty great.
Thirded. Don’t miss the Chinese broccoli, and onion pancake!
I would hit that tofu.
Next time I’m in Seattle, I’m so there.
Fyi, I think they are closed Wednesdays.
