Great way to have wonderful taste of the famous Shisen Hanten without the $$. This is a causal outlet and the food is great! Definitely will come back for more lunch!!! The soup of the dan dan mien what I have been looking for! I missed the taste that I use to be able to get it in Chinese restaurant in Japan! Now I have found it!
Tastes exactly like our favourite 麻婆豆腐 at Shisen Hanten.. No compromise on taste and quality at all.. Now we can hv our favourite 麻婆豆腐 and 辣子鸡 without breaking the bank.. Thumbs up! ���
Food was delicious, tofu cooked to perfection. Impeccable service from the counter staff, he served me and my friends with politeness and a wide smile which is so rare in the general service industry. Thank you very much, we'll definitely patronize again.
The food is totally awesome, the mapo tofu has the MALA wei important in mapo tofu.
The mapo tofu is rock solid and as good as the 2 Michelin Star Shisen Hanten. Highly recommended.
Tasty fare that's relatively cheap by CBD standards
I was looking for a good shop to utilize my voucher, and I came across this shop. I was attracted by their Mapo Tofu. I found the price quite pricey for just tofu as ingredients. But there is 20% off for take away, so I ordered their red chili dumplings which I was surprised. Tho, 5 dollars for 3 pieces were a little pricey too but it was good. I mixed my rice with the sauce it was really good, they put a lot of sesame seeds which made it fragrant. As for the Mapo Tofu, it is good too, you really can feel the numbness and the spices. Very authentic taste.
One thing worth mentioning, the staff there was super friendly and polite.
value for money. Lunch set can get you the best of both worlds, as you can choose spicy chicken（辣子鸡）as your side dish alongside Mapo Tofu rice or noodle. The Mapo Tofu is slightly oily, and suggest to choose the least spicy option.

Chen’s Mapo Tofu famous for their Sichuan-inspired Donburi & Noodles & being awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2019 / 2021. Upon tasting I can understand why.
What I tried,
Signature Combo, which came with a half portion of their award-winning Mapo Don, & a half portion of their Dan Dan Mien.
I ordered the level 3 for my Mapo Don & I didn't regret. My Mapo Don arrived in an inviting dark red colour & is very fragrant. I mentally prep myself it's going be very extremely fiery hot but it was less fiery than I anticipated. Don't get me wrong. It is spicy but is the kind of very addictive spicy kick that keeps you wanting more & is so flavourful. The silky immensely smooth tofu also fell apart easily in my mouth & pairing it well with the spicy gravy with a creamy finish. The fluffy short-grain rice soaked up the gravy very well, making me go spoon after spoon.
Dan Dan Mien
I had the dry version which was topped with a heap of minced meat. Must say this is nailed so well! The savoury-sweet, umami flavours of the peanut sauce coating well on each strand of the springy noodles giving it a umami nutty flavour.
Shoyu Buta Don
With extremely thinly-sliced Szechuan spiced pork stir-fried with onions & leek lay atop a bed of fluffy rice. The perfectly oozy onsen egg just make it more perfect! You get the umami flavour from the spiced pork, a poke on the oozing onsen egg and a good mix with the steamed rice just make it so satisfying.
Szechwan Popcorn Chicken.
The popcorn chicken is so irresistibly crispy and very flavourful from the Szechuan spiced. Pack a mild spicy punch, making it an addictive bites.
Spicy Szechwan Dumplings.
The skin was thin and filled with juicy flavourful minced meat. Flavour bomb!
Szechwan Century Egg & Tofu.
Soft silky tofu and century egg in mild spicy sauce that taste slightly sweet as well and is very refreshing. A great cold dish that does to help combat the spice from the Mapo tofu!
Sliced Pork Belly With
Pickled Chilli Sauce.
Eye appealing Szechwan style pork slices that wonderfully combine taste of deliciously
Pickled Chilli Sauce, that's full of punchy flavour.
I must say the Bib Gourmand is well deserved!

Ok now I know what’s the fuss about. I never really appreciate mapo tofu. Since I never had enough of them thus I’m unable to gauge what’s good & bad.
However the 辣子鸡 taste like salted egg chicken instead.
Gem of a find. The mapo tofu was really yummy and not too expensive. I absolutely love spicy food - over here u can choose how spicy u want the mapo tofu. I went for the highest (I recall level ?3) and it was a delicious kick.
