I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mazilu Lanzhu Restaurant in Tokyo with a group of friends during our trip to Japan. As Muslims, finding halal options can sometimes be challenging, but we were delighted to discover this gem that offered an extensive menu of halal-certified dishes. Our experience at Mazilu Lanzhu Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to fellow Muslims visiting Tokyo.
Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff, who were knowledgeable about halal requirements and provided us with a dedicated halal menu. The restaurant itself had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a comfortable dining experience.
We decided to try their highly recommended dishes, ordering two servings of their spice beef ramen and two servings of chicken ramen. The moment our bowls arrived, we could tell that the food was prepared with utmost care and attention to detail. The aroma alone was enough to make our mouths water.
The spice beef ramen was an absolute delight. The noodles were perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of chewiness. The beef was tender, flavorful, and infused with aromatic spices that truly tantalized our taste buds. The broth was rich and savory, striking a perfect balance of spices and heat. It was evident that the chefs had taken great care to create a harmonious blend of flavors.
The chicken ramen was equally delicious. The chicken was succulent and had been marinated to perfection. The noodles were cooked to the same impeccable standard as the beef ramen, and the broth had a delightful depth of flavor. It was a satisfying and comforting dish that left us craving for more.
Apart from the outstanding food, the portion sizes were generous, ensuring that we left the restaurant fully satiated. The pricing was reasonable considering the quality and authenticity of the dishes we enjoyed.
Additionally, the service at Mazilu Lanzhu Restaurant was commendable. The staff was attentive, accommodating, and went out of their way to make sure our dining experience was enjoyable. They answered our questions about the ingredients and preparation methods, further reassuring us of the restaurant's commitment to halal dining.
In conclusion, Mazilu Lanzhu Restaurant in Tokyo is a true haven for Muslims seeking authentic and halal Chinese cuisine. The spice beef ramen and chicken ramen we savored were undeniably the best meals we had during our Japan trip. The combination of flavors, quality of ingredients, and the restaurant's commitment to halal dining make it a must-visit for halal-conscious travelers. I can't wait to return to Mazilu Lanzhu Restaurant on my next visit to Tokyo.

Read moreThe noodles were great, it tasted great the first couple bites. The reason I gave one star is simple. I asked at the register, "does your beef noodle soup dish contain nuts? I am allergic." I asked this in Japanese. She seemed to not have understood me, so my Japanese friend repeated exactly what I said.their answer was "No". I received the food, tasted. It was good. But, I felt my allergy coming... I was cautious and my Japanese friend went to ask the chefs, "are you sure there are no nuts in the food? Maybe in the rayu?" Again, they confirmed it was "not possible"
I managed to eat more, but to realize it was a mistake and I should have trusted myself. I barely made it back home, vomiting between stations.
This is food poisoning. This is dangerous. Luckily I'm not deathly allergic, and this will go away eventually. But I can assure you, whatever information about the ingredients your staff gets, they should be better educated about what goes into the food they serve. I can also assure you, that it does not matter what your boss or manager says about the food; I can guarantee there are most definitely nuts in your food.

Read moreTheir ordering system is quick and efficient: you order and pay at the register as soon as you enter the restaurant, get seated and just wait for a couple of minutes.
They only offer one main choice: beef broth, beef slices, daikon, corriander, green onion and chili oil. You can, however, customize the noodle size and shape, since they make everything fresh. You can also add side dishes, like beef gyoza or tea eggs.
I strongly recommend a thin and flat noodle shape. We tried both that and the thicker ones, and the former was much better.
The main dish is great: tasty broth and lots of spice. The beef slices are somewhat dry. Use the bib they provide, it's really hard not to get your clothes stained. The gyoza are awesome and combine well both with their respective sauce as well as the noodle broth. The egg has a nice, delicate flavour and runny yolk.
All in all, completely worth it...
