Food was delicious, but the other customers were extremely noisy.
I wish I had brought earplugs because it was actually hurting my ears.

=====MENU=====
〇Mabo tofu set meal
〇 Actual cost: 900 yen
-----You can reach the store in about 3 minutes on foot from Akasaka Station, or 5 minutes from Akasaka-mitsuke Station. It is a popular Chinese restaurant along with "Sichuan Snacks Yun Lianfang" located on the 1st floor. Selected as one of Tabelog's 100 Famous Restaurants.

Visited right after opening on a weekday. It's best to visit early, as the place fills up before 12:00 and there is a queue.
This time I ordered 4. Mapo tofu. Free refills of rice and soup.

As soon as it is served, the unique scent of Japanese pepper and mapo wafts through the air. The tofu was soft and had a nice aroma.
It's freshly made, so those with a bite or cat tongue may have a hard time.

The side dish, including the almond tofu, is also of high quality.
It's easy to see why it's popular.
Furthermore, mapo tofu has a unique flavor, so if you don't like ethnic foods, it may not suit you.

Above is 900 yen per person. Surprising cost performance considering the location. It had a charm that made me want to come even at night.
I'm having trouble deciding whether to try another menu item for lunch or to have a full meal at night. Recommended.

Mapo tofu is very delicious.
For lunch, you can eat this much for 900 yen, so I recommend it. (Additionally comes with almond tofu)
It gets crowded at lunchtime on weekdays, so it's best to go a little early.
