Very enjoyable mapo tofu noodle, noodles are chewy and the sauce is not overbearing. Great for lunch

(Translated by Google) [Half & Half Mapo Noodles and Egg Fried Rice] Visited at exactly 12:00 on a weekday. There was no line, and about 80% of the seats were filled. There were three tables for two people and four or five tables for four people, and it was nice that they were considerate enough to avoid sharing tables. The interior was clean, and the fragrant smell of lard used in the stir-frying was appetizing. If the first floor is full, you will be guided to the third floor, and there is also an elevator at the back of the store. I ordered "Half & Half Mapo Noodles and Egg Fried Rice (1,200 yen)". A black paper apron, ice water, towel, and chopsticks were provided immediately, and the service was polite. It took about 15 minutes for the food to be served. There seemed to have been some kind of mistake, and the staff apologized many times, which made me feel embarrassed. It may usually be faster. What arrived was simmering mapo tofu and golden egg fried rice. The appearance alone is enough to whet your appetite. Mapo noodles: First, start with mapo tofu. It's hot, so blow on it well before taking a bite. It's not too spicy or numbing, and it's a classic "taste that everyone loves." It's very delicious, with a nostalgic taste that makes you feel like you've had it before, even if it's your first time eating mapo noodles. If you compare it to a commercially available product, it tastes more like Marumiya than Cook Do. Next, the noodles, which are also hot and medium-thick noodles that go well with the mapo tofu. However, the amount of noodles is small. Egg fried rice: The only ingredients are eggs and green onions. The rice is fluffy and light, with a mild saltiness, but it's delicious. This is actually the impression I got when I took a bite before eating the mapo tofu. If you take another bite after eating the mapo tofu, the saltiness is so mild that you can hardly taste it. However, it goes perfectly with the mapo tofu, and when you eat it with mapo, the balance of flavors is exquisite. It's such a perfect combination that you'll wonder if it was made with the intention of eating it like this from the beginning. Finally, I poured all the mapo tofu over the fried rice and ate it all. I considered adding vinegar or chili oil to change the flavor, but decided that it was the best balance as it was, so I ate it all as is. I was completely drenched in sweat after the meal. If mapo goes so well with fried rice, mapo curry noodles must be even better. Next time I'd like to try the half-and-half mapo curry noodles. By the way, when I finished eating and left the restaurant, there was already a line of about five people outside. It really is a popular restaurant. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 【麻婆麺と玉子チャーハンのハーフ&ハーフ】 平日の12時ちょうどに訪問。行列はなく、店内は8割ほどの席が埋まっていました。店内は2人がけのテーブルが3卓、4人がけが4〜5卓ほどあり、相席にならないよう配慮されているのが嬉しいポイント。店内も清潔感があり、炒め物に使われているラードの香ばしい匂いが食欲をそそります。 1階が満席の場合は3階へ案内されるようで、店内奥にエレベーターも完備。 「麻婆麺と玉子チャーハンのハーフ&ハーフ（1,200円）」を注文。黒い紙エプロン、氷水、おしぼり、箸はすぐに提供され、接客も丁寧です。 料理が提供されるまでに約15分。どうやら何らかのミスがあったようで、店員さんが何度も謝られたので、逆に恐縮しました。通常はもっと早いのかもしれません。 やってきたのは、グツグツと煮え立った麻婆豆腐と黄金色の玉子チャーハン。見た目からして食欲をそそられます。 麻婆麺：まずは麻婆豆腐から。熱々なのでしっかりフーフーしてから一口。辛さも痺れも控えめで、王道の「みんなが好きな味」。麻婆麺を食べるのは初めてかも、でも食べたことがあると思えるような懐かしい味わいでとても旨い。市販の商品に例えるなら、Cook Doではなく丸美屋寄りの味わい。続いて麺、こちらも熱々で麻婆豆腐とよく絡む中太麺。ただし麺の量は少なめ。 玉子チャーハン：具材は卵とネギのみ。ご飯はふっくら＆パラパラで塩味は控えめながら、やさしい味わいで美味しい。実は麻婆を食べる前に一口食べた時の印象です。麻婆を食べた後にもう一口食べると、塩味をほとんど感じなくなるほど控えめ。その分、麻婆豆腐との相性が抜群で、麻婆をかけて食べると味のバランスが絶妙です。最初からこうして食べることを想定して作られているのかと思うほど完成度の高い組み合わせです。最後は麻婆豆腐をすべてチャーハンにかけて完食。途中、酢や辣油での味変も考えましたが、このままでベストバランスだったのでそのまま食べ切りました。食後はすっかり汗だくになりました。 これだけチャーハンに合う麻婆なら、麻婆カレー麺なんてさらに旨い筈です。次は麻婆カレー麺のハーフ＆ハーフを試してみたいです。 ちなみに、食べ終えて店を出ると、外にはすでに5人ほどの行列が。やはり人気店なんですね。 美味しかったです。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) Their mapo noodles seem to be their specialty, but the appetizers such as dried tofu, three kinds of gyoza, and stir-fried bean sprouts were all delicious. (Original) 麻婆麺が有名みたいですが、前菜の干し豆腐や3種類の餃子、もやし炒めなどどれもおいしかったです。
