Hodo

Founded in Oakland, California, Hodo aims to redefine plant-based eating through bold flavor, premium ingredients, and culinary craftsmanship. The company was started by Minh Tsai, who drew inspiration from his childhood in Vietnam, where fresh tofu was a daily staple. Disappointed by the bland, processed tofu he encountered in the U.S., Minh left his career in finance to create what he couldn’t find: tofu that was organic, richly textured, and full of flavor.

From its early days selling handmade tofu at the farmers’ market, Hodo has evolved into a nationally recognized leader in plant-based protein. The company’s commitment to quality starts with non-GMO, organic soybeans and continues through its meticulous process of crafting tofu, yuba, and a growing line of ready-to-eat dishes. Hodo’s products are high in protein, minimally processed, and free from additives, making them a trusted favorite among home cooks, Michelin-starred chefs, and food service partners.

Hodo’s values extend beyond the plate. They are committed to sustainability, fair labor practices, and community impact, with a deep belief that real food made from real ingredients has the power to nourish people and the planet. Whether it's in their signature tofu cubes, spicy yuba noodles, or new culinary innovations, Hodo delivers vibrant, satisfying meals that celebrate the versatility of plant-based eating.
