    Not a dish I seek out, but let me offer up a few places that have been talked about here. Please do report back on the ones you try and share your opinions. After the year we've had, we need to gather all new post-pandemic intelligence on restaurants. It's hard to know who is still good or not.

    General consensus is that Joy Restaurant in Foster City has the best fried stinky tofu.

    One I'd heard about last year from a colleague whose family is from Taiwan would be New China Food in Milpitas.

    Then the following places scavenged from the archives that seem to still be open. Some of these may be steamed stinky tofu and not the fried version. But let's combine them since this dish in any format is not that common.
