Our Sichuan Mapo Tofu (麻婆豆腐) is the real thing — silky cubes of tofu simmered in a bold, fiery sauce built on chili bean paste and Sichuan peppercorn. Crafted with authentic spices for a true taste of Sichuan tradition, right in downtown London, Ontario.
Mapo tofu is the most famous dish to come out of Sichuan province, loved for its signature 'mala' character — a warming chili heat layered with the gentle, tingling numbness of Sichuan peppercorn. We simmer soft tofu in that bold, brick-red sauce until every silky cube carries the full depth of flavour, then finish it fresh in the wok for each order.
If you have only ever had mild westernized tofu dishes, this is your introduction to authentic Sichuan cooking. Spoon it over steamed rice to soften the fire, or order it alongside milder Cantonese dishes so everyone at the table finds their comfort zone. Available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery from Richmond Row.
Mala (麻辣) combines two sensations: 'ma', the tingling numbing effect of Sichuan peppercorns, and 'la', the heat of dried chilies. Balanced correctly — as it is here — the effect is addictive rather than punishing, which is why mapo tofu has fans far beyond Sichuan.
Order Sichuan Mapo Tofu with steamed rice for a warming solo meal, or add it to a group order for the spice lovers at the table. Online ordering covers pickup and delivery throughout downtown London and nearby neighbourhoods.
Unlike typical food-court fare, every order of Mapo Tofu is cooked fresh by the chef the moment you order — never pre-made, never sitting under a heat lamp.
Located at 368 Richmond St on Richmond Row, Lucky Cat offers fast online ordering with pickup and delivery across downtown London, Woodfield, SoHo, and nearby neighbourhoods.
Cool the heat with Oyster Sauce Broccoli, YangChow Fried Rice, or a Cantonese Chow Mein shared across the table.
