Mapo Tofu has never been this good - Edit
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.
Read moreDuring 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 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.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next bowl of mapo tofu. Thank you again!

Delicious, reasonable prices - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read moreBecause "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.
Read moreThat’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.

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.

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

We really appreciate your kind words about the pricing and service.

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.

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.
