Very nice Tofu and Dumpling！

Visited for lunch on 8/31 (Monday). It was busy after 12:00. I waited 5-6 before being seated, but from sitting down until the order arrived was about 5-7 minutes, which I thought was relatively quick. ・Mapo tofu set meal (￥950) This was my first meal in this area under 1000円. The taste was decent too, so I think it's good value. The heat is restrained and mellow, but it's a distinctly Chinese kind of spiciness. It goes well with rice. Eating it on top of rice is definitely the way to go. The rice itself was delicious too. The egg soup and almond tofu were decent as well. Payment is cash or Paypay. Next time I'd like to order other dishes too. Thank you for the meal.

I visited around 11:10 on a weekday. I was the only customer until about 11:40. Maybe it doesn't get too busy before 12:00. I ordered the daily vegetable tanmen and half fried rice set (950円), which arrived in 5〜6 minutes. The soup had a clean, light salt flavor. I'd seen reviews saying the soup was astonishingly bland, but it actually had plenty of umami, with the aroma of charred scallions adding a tasty accent. What a review from someone with a clueless palate. The noodles were flat, or rather rectangular in cross-section, and very similar to 日高屋's noodles. The generous vegetables were welcome too. The fried rice was properly stir-fried for something included in a set. The almond tofu was the common agar type. These days many places in central Tokyo charge over 1000円 for this volume, so I think 950円 is reasonable.

The mapo tofu here is seriously delicious. If you go to 御茶ノ水, I really recommend this Chinese restaurant! The employees are polite too, with amazing hospitality✨

This is a Chinese restaurant in front of ワテラス in 御茶ノ水. I think 小川町 Station is the closest, but it's about the same distance from all the nearby stations, so the location is good. I stopped by at lunchtime, and perhaps because it was a weekend, there was only 1 group already there, so I got in without waiting. There are counter seats and several small to medium tables, with space for around 30 people, I think. The layout is long and narrow, with a private room at the back. I ordered the mapo tofu set from the lunch menu. It was delicious, with just the right spicy kick. An affordable and very satisfying dish. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good too. I'd like to stop by again if I get the chance. Thank you for the meal.
