Better than you could ever dream of!

We had tofu with okra as a starter, the curry and sesame mapo for main and wow! We were blown away. Definitely going back for more during our stay.

Amazing welcoming and relaxed vibe. Groovy staff. All vegan menu. On the spicy side - just to be aware of. Excellent craft beer. Go early in your trip. Go often!

It was good. I can’t handle hot spice, so I have taken Mild Tofu. Hot spice was less but it was good for me.

Worth the detour

This place was a bit out of the way for me but it was worth the detour. I had the Gozen set for lunch that allowed me to taste all 4 mabo tofu types and their amazing gyozas. I highly recommend the gyozas and also the red and plant cheese mabu tofu. I hope I can make it back here next time I come to Tokyo

Delicious food

I had the Shogun deluxe Mapo tofu set and I also tried the Dan Dan mapo tofu. The gyoza to die for. The tiramisu was so creamy. Everything was flavorful, the vibe was great, amazing staff. Worth a visit.

Really flavorful

This place is fully vegan and has flavorful food. My non vegan family also enjoyed the meal and were we has good portions. My cousin is non vegan an does not like spice and was able to find a dish she enjoyed. We all loved the desserts and the Gyoza as well. My Mapo Tofu dish was amazing. I recommend this place. It’s on a quiet side street but we’re able to grab taxi right in front of the restaurant after we finished our meals.

A hidden gem

We found it difficult eating vegan in Tokyo (who would have thought that?) with the fish and seafood heavy diet, and not being able to read menus….so we were thrilled to find this restaurant. Friendly staff and a delicious meal-a perfect combination!

Exceptional Mapo Tofu

What can I say? Everything was five stars. I had the winter limited ginger vinegar Mapo and gyoza - loved both. The dessert Matcha Tiramisu came presented in a glass and the cream was so yummy and had biscuits inside.
The people running this place were so nice and the taste and presentation were extraordinary!

Mapo Tofu has never been this good

I have not had tofu in such a long time as I had eating at Tsuminaki. My goodness, what an incredible addition to the Tokyo food scene and one I am looking forward to returning back for more.

During our visit, we saw a large variety of different mapo tofu styles to choose from for lunch. I went with their red mapo tofu and gyoza lunch combination which comes with pickled vegetable and the fluffiest rice.

The tofu here was absolutely incredible. Such great consistency, excellent flavor, and left me eating up all my rice before tapping out. It's not too spicy either so those with a lower tolerance can still come and enjoy this delicious bowl of warmth.

The gyoza was also super crispy and juicy. This made for the perfect accompaniment to the creamy tofu.

This restaurant happens to be fully plant-based so it's perfect for vegetarians and vegans to safely enjoy.

Staff were super friendly and used to seeing visitors from around the world. I saw a lot of Japanese salarymen eating here when I went so it's definitely a hit with the locals as well. Can't wait to come back and have more of their mapo tofu soon.

We’re truly honored to be part of your tofu comeback and even more so to be mentioned as an addition to Tokyo’s food scene.

We’re really happy you enjoyed the red mapo tofu and gyoza lunch set — and that the fluffy rice didn’t stand a chance! 🍚
It means a lot to us that you found the flavors comforting and approachable, even if you’re not big on spice.

Seeing locals and visitors from around the world sharing the same space is something we truly cherish, so your words really warmed our hearts.
We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next bowl of mapo tofu. Thank you again!

Delicious, reasonable prices

I've never had mapo tofu before, but I thought this place was great! Different types of rich sauces that the tofu was served in, very savory and complex flavors. The udon noodles were also savory and seemed fresh. The dumplings were especially fantastic, and my favorite dish here. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert, and it was not at all what I was expecting; it seemed more like a pudding than tiramisu, with some cookie crumbles, but it was still very good. Would definitely eat here again!

Aimed at tourists

Mapo Tufo (sometimes written as "mabo tofu") is one of my favourite meals. So when Happy Cow listed a restaurant that serves nothing but mapo tofu, I had to go there! Which is easier said than done, because Apple Maps dropped me off at the wrong place. Then I tried Google Maps, which took me to the exact same spot! Only after I asked a local for help, I found out it was some 500 metres away from the spot that Apple Maps and Google Maps told me to go. To avoid any and all confusion about the address, here's the GPS coordinate: 35.66645 North and 139.75150 East.

Because "Tsuminaki Mapo Tofu" is located near the Shimbashi area, it is aimed at the night life. People come here to eat, drink and party. So don't expect a fancy place, but rather a simple yet accommodating restaurant. The menu is both in Japanese and English. It clearly lists how spicy each meal is, since mapo tofu can (and should!) be extremely spicy. Since I visited for lunch I didn't feel like a spicy meal and ordered the "white sesame mapo tofu".

It arrived quickly and was nicely presented. I also noticed it's a bit simple. It only comes with white rice (no brown rice available) and the amount of vegetables is negligible. It is just a bowl of tofu in broth. Since this restaurant claims to be a mapo tofu specialist, I expected something beyond the average; something only a specialist can make. Instead, the meal gave me the feeling Tsuminaki is aimed at tourists who enjoy mapo tofu for the first time.

Nonetheless, the taste of the tofu in broth was decent. And given the friendly price, who am I to complain?

Pros: low prices, easy meal

Cons: I expected more from a specilaist restaurant

Thank you for sharing your experience and for making the effort to visit us.

That’s actually the first time we’ve heard about navigation apps leading guests to the wrong spot, so we’re a bit surprised. It may have been a temporary map or device issue, but we’ll check with the platform just in case.

Either way, we truly appreciate that you still managed to find us despite the trouble — thank you for that.

Thanks again for coming and for taking the time to leave a review.

One of my FAVOURITE Japan meals

Came here because it was highly rated and it did not disappoint. Some of the tastiest gyoza I’ve ever had and mapo tofu was delicious too. Tried both the golden and the red pepper (spice level one was perfect for me). Also tried the chocolate and the matcha tiramisu which were both just okay. But the dinner was so good we would definitely come back!!

EDIT: returned here the next week and tried the red mapo noodles and loved it even MORE💗also got more gyoza (of course!!) and ice cream which was great and better than the tiramisu.

Delish!

Chose this restaurant based on Happy Cow reviews and it did not disappoint. The gyoza was amazing. We ordered more since we liked it so much.

As another reviewer mentioned, the portions are a bit on the smaller side. If you order the set, go for five gyoza instead of three, and order at least a medium-size bowl of rice.

Service was great. Staff speaks English. Happy to add another five star review for this establishment!

Tasty mapo tofu

We tried Sichuan pepper and "White and red" Mapo Tofu with rice. Both were delicious, but I liked Sichuan pepper more, it is recommended for a reason. The portions are small, I suggest taking at least a medium portion of rice and adding gyoza, which are also small.
