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!

Sweet little place! Worth the walk! - Edit
This is a very small place with limited seating. Very casual. The mapo was great, and the service was fun. Great chat with the engaging and friendly young owner. A bit out of the way, but worth the walk for a budget meal. Seems to have a nice local clientele.

Mapo-Tofu heaven - Edit
This restaurant is heaven for mapo tofu lovers or those who will come to love it after coming here!
Read moreThere are several mapo tofu dishes to choose from aswell as very delicious gyoza and dessert.
I got the deluxe set which came with 4 different mapo tofu, rice, pickles and gyoza.
Everything tasted differently and delicious in its own way. The sesame one is very creamy whereas the spicy one is already quite spicy, but you can have them make it spicier if you want.
The gyoza are crunchy on the bottom and soft at the top, filled with tofu and vegetables and very juicy).
As dessert I got the tiramisu. It was delicious but I wouldn't call it tiramisu, rather 'douhua tiramisu style' or something like that. It was silken tofu drizzled with sirup and cocoa powder and an gold leaf. But I would come back to that restaurant for this dessert alone!
The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is really nice and relaxed.
Pros: Very tasty mapo tofu, Variety of dishes, Very friendly staff
TSUMINAKI.MapoTofu
Thank you so much for this amazing and detailed review!
Read moreWe’re thrilled that you explored the different flavors of the deluxe set — and we love that you picked up on the creaminess of the sesame mapo and the bold kick of the spicy one. You clearly have a great palate! 😊
And thank you for your kind feedback about our tiramisu. It’s true — it’s more of a “douhua-style tiramisu” and we really appreciate your creative naming idea! Actually, we’re always looking to improve our recipes, and your comment helps us keep evolving.
We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed not just the food but also the atmosphere and our team. It means the world to us.
We can’t wait to welcome you back for more tofu joy anytime!

An exciting mapo tofu selection - Edit
I'm always excited at the prospect of a mapo tofu but I chose a bit poorly here. I got a cheese curry mapo and it was a tasty curry sauce but lacked the flavours that I really want in my mapo tofu. I was hoping it would be a bit more fusion but it wasn't. It was still a tasty dish but just not quite what I was looking for.
Read moreMy partner got a classic mapo tofu and she was very happy with her choice. It hit all the mapo tofu notes she was looking for and she was happy that it wasn't too spicy.
We all got gyoza too and they were delicious. They were quite small and very crispy. The main thing in the filling was some nicely seasoned silken tofu. I also got a cacao tiramisu for dessert. This was fine but nothing special. It didn't have any soaked biscuits and mostly felt like silken tofu sitting in a sweet syrup with a dusting of coffee and cocoa on top. I wouldn't order this if I went again.

Amazing! - Edit
Also another homemade and cozy small place we've eaten, all perfect! Free water like all restaurants we've visited so far and a very nice staff! We ordered the cheese curry and the mild white sesame tofu, both so delicious... The only sad point was all gyozas were already sold out at lunch time 😢 a good excuse to come back! Lol 😆
Read morePros: Staff, Food, Price
Cons: Unfortunately no gyoza, Unfortunately they don't offer dessert

Seriously good flavors, friendly vibes - Edit
Tsuminaki Mapo Tofu is well worth a visit, especially for the deluxe set meal that includes several tofu dishes (each with quite different flavors) served with rice and a plate of exceptionally tasty gyoza. It’d be great if they could add some green veggie options to make the meal more balanced, but that’s the only thing we missed. Everything we had was first class, and the service is very friendly and helpful, too.
Read moreHighly recommended. Enjoy!

My first time trying mapo tofu! It was so good and the gyoza were my favourite I’ve had in Japan so far. I don’t have the highest spice tolerance (embarrassing I know) so opted for the ‘recommended’ one and it was delicious
