About this spot
This Shinjuku spot blends Sichuan heat with izakaya comfort, featuring spicy Mapo Tofu and savory xiaolongbao that melt in your mouth. Locals flock here for the bold numbing spice of the hotpot and the generous portions served at this affordable 2F location.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Mapo Tofu while it's still bubbling to get the perfect balance of Sichuan peppercorn heat and tender tofu.
- Ask for a side of plain white rice to soak up the rich, oily sauce from the braised pork dishes.
- The xiaolongbao are best eaten by biting a small hole in the top first to avoid getting soup on your hands.
