Reviews for Fu-Wah Mini Market in Philadelphia, PA
went here to get Bahn mis for lunch and it was delicious! Heads up that it?s cash only, but there is an ATM in the store and the... sandwich is definitely worth it! Read more
Fu-Wah?s grilled pork Bahn mi is phenomenal and one of the best hoagies I?ve ever had
I'm not a vegetarian, but the tofu bahn mi is amazing. I think it's better than the pork, even though that doesn't seem like it... should be possible. Read more
Char grilled pork (order extra cilantro) was delicious and smoky and satisfying!! Store was well curated, grab some giant fresh... ginger root to bring home! Read more
Neighborhood one-stop-shop for all your random pantry essentials and last minute ingredients? such as a lemon! Which I scurried... over to fu-wah for the other night mid-potluck prep!! Read more
Fu-Wah has been a personal favorite of mine for the past 7+ years. I almost always get the tofu banh mi. I'm Vietnamese-American... so I like to think I have a decent idea of what good authentic banh mi should taste like and this spot is it. The braised tofuis seriously the best and they sell it separately in pints as well, so you can bring it home to eat with whatever you'dlike. They also have a good selection of other Asian food products here, like sauces and snacks, without having to go all theway to South Philly, so it's nice when you just need one or two specific things. A bit pricier than going to Washington Ave butyou pay for the convenience and it's worth supporting a local "mom and pop," in my opinion. The location is convenient viapublic transit and I also almost never have issues finding parking to pick up orders I call in over the phone in advance.They're quick too! The store is clean, small but never overly crowded, and the in-store ATM has never given me any issues(they're cash only!). The quality hasn't gone down once since I first discovered Fu-Wah almost a decade ago. I try to takefriends or family from out of town here when I can; it's always a solid choice! Read more
THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY. You're welcome. The ATM fee is $1.80, otherwise. A friend of mine raves about the tofu hoagies here.... I've tried them a couple times now -- just under $5 for a sandwich is pretty good, but I wish it had more veggies. It's mostlysweet fried tofu, with a little carrot/daikon, cilantro, and a few big slices of jalapeno (which try as might, I cannot take abite out of without burning my lips off --- you can ask them to hold the peppers but there's nothing to balance all thesweetness without it!). My husband likes the tuna salad hoagie -- it's double the size for $7 (unfortunately they don't upsizethe tofu one, I've asked). The couple times he's had it it's been pretty soggy, tho. We're feeling so-so about the hoagies, butwill keep going back because of the convenience/price. The market itself is very sweet. Loads of interesting organic, gourmet,and pan-asian grocery items, including dark chocolate candy bars, quality soba noodles, vegan meat substitutes, and bakingingredients. I haven't seen any organic produce here. Prices can be steep but it's nice to have this type of stuff in the 'hood.The outdoor seating area is pretty adorable, too. Read more
Tofu > pork I?ve had both but the tofu was so good I?ll keep getting that one Love this store and it?s quirkiness
