I went to a popular restaurant that was rumored to be very delicious. The menu was ordered through a QR code, making it difficult to know what to order or what was recommended. In this unfamiliar situation, where was I? What did I order? As I was pondering, the staff recommended a spicy beef soup flavor. I chose the mildly spicy option. The soup had a unique addictive flavor, and the noodles had a strong presence. There were chunks of tender, flavorful beef simmered in the soup. The restaurant seemed to be popular among young people, and I was one of the few older customers there. Lately, Ueno has been seeing more Chinese-style restaurants opening up. I look forward to exploring more new places next time.

White fish and pickled vegetable soup with rice noodles for 1408 yen. The soft round noodles, fluffy white fish, tangy pickled vegetables, bean sprouts, green onions, cilantro, bok choy, and wood ear mushrooms can be confirmed in the dish. The soup has a gentle sourness and is not spicy. I added vinegar and chili oil for extra flavor later on. It's a hearty dish. I couldn't add any extra toppings because my stomach was full. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the noodles. I'm sorry. You might be able to find a similar dish at a food stall in Ameyoko, but it's too hot today. The restaurant has good air conditioning and a clean atmosphere, so I chose to eat here.

I visited the restaurant for a slightly late dinner. You order from the menu using a QR code. There are so many menu options, it's overwhelming. I decided to choose something from the spicy section. I can't remember the exact name, but it was a spicy dish with pork offal. It was my first time trying it, so I chose the least spicy option, which was still quite spicy. It was ready in about 10 minutes. Just looking at it, I knew it was going to be spicy. I took a sip of the soup. It was delicious, but very spicy. The dish had plenty of offal. It also had Chinese cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, thin tofu, enoki mushrooms, coriander, and noodles. It was piping hot and spicy, so it took me a while to eat. The soup was spicy, but also had a lot of umami flavor. I couldn't help but drink it. Be careful when eating because it has a lot of Sichuan peppercorns, black pepper, and chili peppers. Even the least spicy option was quite hot, so be cautious when ordering. It was delicious. For me, the least spicy option was already very spicy. I would definitely come back when I crave something super spicy.

At Tenfu Li Rice Noodles in Ueno, I tried the extremely spicy white fish and green Sichuan pepper mala soup rice noodles that always have a long line. This was my second visit to this authentic Chinese spot in Ueno Hirokoji. The green soup with abundant Sichuan pepper oil was so spicy that it was the spiciest thing I've had recently.

Around 1 pm on a holiday. Inside the restaurant, there were solo diners, friends, couples, and people taking a break from work. It's a welcoming place to enter. The interior is clean and gives a sense of security. The restroom was a bit messy, but it was not a big issue. It was my first time trying authentic Chinese food! I was nervous as I looked at the menu, which had a wide variety of options. I decided on a dish with tomatoes and thinly sliced beef that didn't seem too spicy. It wasn't spicy, but it was very hot. The dish had tomatoes, beef, tofu-like ingredients, enoki mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, bok choy, and rice noodles. It came in a big pot-like container, which made me wonder if I could finish it all, but I devoured it. The noodles were white and had a chewy texture. They were very delicious. The pickles were self-service, but I didn't eat them because the dishes looked dirty. Next time, I want to try something spicy.

Ordering is self-service, with all native staff in a laid-back atmosphere. The toppings are unique and interesting. The pot is large but the noodles are not that much. The noodles are round and thin, about 1 millimeter in diameter. Even without ordering toppings, there were some bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms, and fish paste sheets in the dish. The Sichuan-style broth was "medium" spicy and even spicier than Mongolian ramen... it was so spicy that I couldn't slurp the noodles. I tried to slurp with a spoon, but still choked. It was tough. Maybe it was because there was a layer of fat on the surface that made it hard to cool down. When I tried the soup after it cooled down, it wasn't as spicy and had a good flavor. It was impossible to enjoy it while it was still hot. The beef was tender and delicious. I recommend others to try it when it's not too hot to fully appreciate the flavors.

At Tenfu Li Rice Noodle in Ueno, a new authentic Chinese restaurant that has been attracting long lines since its opening, I tried the Sichuan-style rice noodle soup with duck blood, pork tripe, topped with a fried egg, white fish, and quail. The restaurant offers a variety of soup bases and toppings to choose from using a QR code on the table. The portion was generous, with chewy rice noodles that were very satisfying. It's a great spot for solo diners looking for a genuine Chinese dining experience.

Honestly, the price is a bit high for lunch, but the portion size is quite generous with satisfying amounts of meat and noodles. The service is mostly self-service. The clientele at the restaurant is mostly young Chinese people. I've been there twice, but on the third visit, it felt like the portion size had decreased. They need to maintain a quality that matches the price, otherwise it's not worth going out of your way to eat there during lunchtime.

Sour Fish Fillet Rice Noodles 1408 yen at Tenfu Li Rice Noodles (Ueno). This place has a strong mainland China vibe even during the daytime. It's a rice noodle shop. I was intrigued by the fish fillet on the menu, so I decided to try the recommended dish, Sour Fish Fillet Rice Noodles. It arrived in a large pot-like container. The soup was a slightly sour and spicy chicken broth with pickled vegetables. The fish was soft and fluffy, maybe a type of freshwater fish that I'm not familiar with. At first, the smell was strong, but as I ate, the spiciness and numbness made me gradually get used to it, and the smell didn't bother me anymore. I was worried about finishing it all, but I easily ate everything, even drank half of the soup. It's perfect for the upcoming season.

A Chinese rice noodle chain has unexpectedly expanded to Japan. I ordered the spicy rice noodle soup as advertised. The soup is very spicy, but the tripe and rice noodles lack flavor. The price is also high at 1480 yen. Maybe it would be better if it wasn't so spicy.

Specializing in rice noodles, Tenfuri Rice Noodle Shop is located in Ueno Okachimachi, just a 5-minute walk from Okachimachi Station. The shop, which opened in February this year, offers popular Chinese rice noodle dishes. The interior is stylish and clean, with a unified red color scheme. One recommended dish is the Tomato Stewed Beef Tail Rice Noodles, which features tender beef tail stewed in tomato sauce. The noodles have a chewy texture and a smooth mouthfeel, with plenty of ingredients packed in. Customers can choose from 4 soup flavors and around 40 types of toppings, as well as customize the spiciness level from 0 to 3. Another must-try is the Homemade Fried Rice Cakes, which are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The Red Bean Glutinous Rice Balls with Brown Sugar and Kinako are also a delicious dessert option, with a sesame aroma and a sweet finish. Indulging in sweet treats after spicy noodles may feel like cheating on a diet, but the irresistible flavors make it worth it.

The food itself was delicious. It's authentic Sichuan cuisine, so be careful if you're not a fan of spicy food as it can make your tongue numb. However, there were many other points that caught my attention aside from the food. I think some of the issues may be due to the fact that the restaurant is newly opened. I wish the menu had proper Japanese translations and explanations.

Tomato and thinly sliced beef rice noodle soup for 1,408 yen. Today, I visited this place that just opened on February 27th. It seems to be a rice noodle specialty shop, but there is no information on the menu or prices, so I decided to check out this new place. I went for lunch. At 11:47 am, my colleague and I entered the restaurant, with no other customers present at the time, but 12 customers arrived after us. It seems like all the other customers were of Asian descent. The menu had a lot of options, making it difficult to decide what to order. I quickly made my choice, but my colleague took almost 10 minutes to decide. You can also order using your smartphone. The food was served quickly, arriving within about 3 minutes of ordering. The soup was a bright red color and bubbling hot. It contained beef, tomato, bok choy, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, a cotton-like tofu, enoki mushrooms, and scallions. The soup looked spicy, but the flavor was actually quite mild due to the tomatoes. The soup was incredibly delicious, with a flavor that I really enjoyed. The rice noodles were white and had a chewy texture, but I would have preferred them to be a bit firmer. The beef was tender and moist, with a generous amount in the soup. I realized that I had requested cilantro, but it was not included in the dish. By the time I finished eating, I was sweating from the spiciness of the soup. It was very tasty, but I felt that the price was a bit high for just rice noodles. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. Visited for lunch on March 1, 2023. No rating given.

Recently, there has been an increase in rice noodle shops, and a new shop has opened. They use a system where you scan a code with your smartphone to place an order. There are many different options, so you won't get tired of eating there. The chicken broth has a lot of flavor and you can also get your collagen intake. The rice noodles have a slightly chewy texture and were very delicious when served piping hot.

In February 2023, for dinner, I went to a restaurant in Ueno. I got off at JR Okachimachi Station, crossed the pedestrian crossing, entered "Kasuga Street" from "Ueno Chuo Street Shopping Street", and turned left into a side street. I found the shop I was looking for, which was called "Tenfu Li Rice Noodle Specialist Shop". It had just opened on February 27, 2023, and there were many congratulatory flowers lined up. The interior of the restaurant was brand new, and both the staff and the customers were mostly of Chinese descent. I sat at a table for two and ordered the tomato and thinly sliced beef rice noodle for 1,280 yen. The piping hot pot arrived in just 5 minutes. I took a sip of the unique Chinese soup, which had a distinctive flavor. The rice noodles were thin and had a pleasant texture and mouthfeel. The dish was filled with ingredients such as tomatoes, beef, bok choy, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, tofu, and shallots. The portion was generous, and I left the restaurant feeling very satisfied. The menu had a wide variety of options, and I was curious about trying other soup bases as well.

I tried it for the first time, but rice noodles are delicious, especially when paired with Tsingtao beer! Recently, it seems that there are more and more shops handling rice noodles, but whether it's new or becoming a trend in the future, if it doesn't go well with Tsingtao beer, I won't approve. That's why I visited the rice noodle specialty shop Tenfu Li Rice Noodles in Ueno Okachimachi. Rice noodles are a type of noodles made from rice, a specialty of Yunnan Province in China. The shop opened on February 27, 2023. When it comes to ordering, you can choose from several types of spicy soups, such as spicy Sichuan, sour and spicy, or intensely spicy. The staff mentioned that the extremely spicy ones are quite intense, so be careful! I ordered the Sichuan-style lamb spare rib rice noodles! You can also choose from a wide variety of toppings, almost all the ingredients used in the regular menu can be selected as toppings. I added scallops to my lamb spare rib rice noodles, and the portion was quite generous with plenty of vegetables and spare ribs, providing a satisfying meal. The spiciness was just right, but if you like it even spicier, you can adjust it. The rice noodles are quite soft and smooth, similar to somen noodles, but they blend well with the soup. The quantity is also quite substantial, so those with small appetites may want to avoid getting extra servings. The side menu or dessert was also delicious, with my companion particularly enjoying the fried mochi with black honey and soybean flour. It was light and crispy, not leaving a heavy feeling in the stomach. As for me, I was completely satisfied with the side menu and the Tsingtao beer in my drink. Rice noodle specialty shops might become more popular in the future. The variety of toppings is enjoyable, and Tsingtao beer goes well with them. Tenfu Li Rice Noodles is a great place to visit!

Adding duck blood to the white fish dish was quite close to the authentic taste and very satisfying. The tomato beef dish was average. There was a lot of fish and rice noodles. There are many options to try, so I would like to explore more.

I went with a friend. It is a specialty shop for rice noodles. The rice noodles were delicious.

I had tomato and thinly sliced beef vermicelli. The soup had a rich umami flavor from the broth and ingredients, and it was very delicious. The noodles were smooth with a good texture, and the beef was tender with a great seasoning. Thank you for the meal.
