Mapo Tofu - New York

I eat (from) here at least once a week, yet, I hadn’t posted about it so far. First, it was Mapo Tofu (I’ll post a picture the next time I eat that here). These days, it’s dan dan noodles. I’m addicted. Such a great balance of salt, spice, sweet. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:

A must for casual, flavorful Chinese. I spent several hours looking for good reviews, reasonable prices and location close to our midtown east hotel...in the end decided to walk down Lexington till we found somewhere we wanted to eat.. We noticed a fairly busy Mapo Tofu so decided to give it a try. So glad we did...very welcoming staff, prompt food service and of the 4 dishes we ordered, only the roast duck was a bit dry..the rest...chicken pieces with roast chilies, prawns with mixed vegetables, lo mein, spinach and garlic were delicious. Prices very reasonable too.

We stopped in last Thursday night for dinner.

I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but I wouldn't balk about returning. Not sure I'd get hot n' sour soup again.

My friends and I stopped in at Mapo Tofu for a somewhat late but quick dinner on a Friday night.
