I had never tried vegan cuisine before, so I was surprised by how hearty and satisfying the dishes were.

One of my FAVOURITE Japan meals - Edit
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!!
Read moreEDIT: 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! - Edit
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.
Read moreAs 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 - Edit
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.

Spiced and flavorful tofu dishes - Edit
The restaurant serves a variety of Mapo tofu and gyozas. It is very well seasoned and goes great with rice. The restaurant is a bit tight but the atmosphere is nevertheless lovely and comfortable. Gyoza is crispy and freshly made.

Great little place - Edit
Staff were so friendly and helpful here. Beers were cold and glasses offered. A good selection of menu items but not too many to overwhelm. Gyoza were the highlight. Smokey, meaty and crispy!

Love :) - Edit
I love Mapo Tofu!
Read moreA wonderful, cozy little restaurant with a small but well-curated menu. We went there right at 6 PM for dinner, and it quickly started filling up with more guests. The staff were super friendly and spoke great English.
We had two small appetizers and then our main dishes — everything was really delicious! I love spicy food anyway, so I was more than happy. The only thing I’d wish for is a slightly bigger portion (I’ve got a bit of an appetite 😅).
Price-wise, totally fair. Would definitely come again!
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly and helpful staff , Fast service

Thank you so much for visiting and for your wonderful review! 🥰
Read moreWe’re so happy to hear you loved the Mapo Tofu and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and spicy flavors! 🌶️✨
And thank you for the kind note about the portion size — we totally understand a good appetite 😄
For next time, we actually offer a larger portion of Mapo Tofu as well (you can ask for extra Mapo Tofu / 麻婆豆腐増し), so feel free to try it if you’re extra hungry!
We really appreciate your kind words about the pricing and service.
Hope to welcome you again on your next visit! 🙌❤️

Loooved the gyoza - Edit
Super tasty, I had the red mapo tofu spice level 3 (中辛) and it was just the right amount of heat for me. We really liked the gyoza, they seem to use something to press them when cooking and the outside is really crispy and delicious. I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area.
Read morePros: Delicious, Reasonable, Nice interior
Cons: Small and fills up quickly

Very happy - Edit
Delicious vegan food and a really lovely, friendly waitress who was very helpful and spoke good English. I'm very tricky to accommodate as I'm both vegan and gluten-free - so no soy sauce, no vinegar etc. I explained my dietary requirements and the waitress chatted to the chef. She said the chef would make me tofu from scratch! I actually received four (yes, four!) different dishes. All were amazing. Very touched by this incredibly kind gesture. Plan to revisit before we fly back.

Not mapo tofu at all - Edit
I don’t understand at all the raving reviews. The food was really really mid. We tried four different types of mapo tofu and none of them actually tasted like mapo tofu. They were not authentic at all and mixed with weird ingredients like paprika, tomato, peanuts, tahini, indian spices and even cheese…..? The gyoza were good and staff friendly. The ambiance was not great with loud RnB music. Overall very disappointing, I don’t recommend

Probably best vegan restaurant in Tokyo at present - Edit
Not really much need for a further review of this place after dozens of others, but just wanted to share my opinion as stated in title that this restaurant is probably the best vegan option in Tokyo at this present time, after sampling a pretty decent portion of the options available. Honorable mention also to Yuu Gyoza near Ueno. I’ve also yet to visit some very reputable places like Saido which require reservations long in advance.
Read moreThe cheese curry set was very good, but I would recommend instead their staple “Kuro” sichuan pepper mapo tofu set, it’s delicious.
Pros: Best in Tokyo
Cons: Bit difficult to get to
TSUMINAKI.MapoTofu
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.
Read moreWe’re truly honored to be called “the best vegan restaurant in Tokyo” — that means a lot, especially coming from someone who’s tried many places around the city.
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed both the cheese curry and the “Kuro” mapo tofu — it’s one of our favorites too!
And yes, we’re a bit tucked away, but we hope the journey here is worth it 🙂
Thank you again, and we hope to see you back someday!
