Tampopo

My friend introduced me to Tampopo, and I thought it was great. The food is reasonably priced and it tastes good -- there is a solid variety of options on the menu ranging from Yakisoba to Bibimbap and more. The staff is also extremely friendly, and the service is fast. After you finish your food, you bus your own dishes and bring them to a bin. Definitely a spot worth checking out in the area.

I stopped by for an impromptu lunch here at Tampopo as I've walked by it many times and haven't had a chance to try it yet. It was really cute inside with a decent amount of seating. I got myself a lunchbox, with the fried dumpling option and the tonkatsu. My partner also got a lunchbox with spicy pork stir fry. It comes with a salad with sesame ginger dressing and plenty of edamame beans. I really liked the composition of the box, although I do wish we had soy sauce to come with it for the dumplings (though, I didn't ask so maybe they just keep it behind the counter).I would describe the cuisine here as Japanese-Korean fusion, and I think they do a great job of offering a lot of different dishes from both cultures. I really enjoyed my tonkatsu, they definitely didn't skimp on the chicken pieces (they gave me a TON) and the plum sauce was the right amount of tangy. I felt like the meat portions for both honestly were really generous compared to other places I've been to with bento box options. The price also was super reasonable. They have water for diners but also have a fridge full of delicious drink options like Ito-En tea or Ramune for you to choose from.I really loved the spicy pork my partner got as well and kept stealing some from him. I thought the marinade was really delicious. I definitely will be coming by here again whenever I have a craving for a nice hearty lunchbox meal, or for takeout. Service was great and the food came out pretty quickly. I'd highly recommend!

Pretty good, kimbap, Dolsot bibimbap, veggie tempuraOn point but not super authentic. I think it's more of a Japanese Korean fusion. But still tasty. Why isn't kimchi given for free with every entree? Also needs optional metal spoons for dolsot bibimbap lest you have a partially melted flaccid plastic spoonGood drink optionsGood serviceQuiet ambiance

I recently heard about Tampopo from a friend and, after seeing the prices and pictures online, I was very excited to try them. The restaurant felt like a small, family restaurant. They also had a wall with their most popular items if you get overwhelmed with options like me. I ordered a bowl of squid with white rice (they also offered brown rice) and my friend ordered the beef and spicy chicken bento box. Unfortunately, the restaurant closed off its dine-in section so we had to take the food home. Regardless, the food was delicious. The squid was a mix of sweet and (slightly) spicy. The portion was great for the price and I was definitely full after finishing my bowl. My friend also enjoyed their bento box and actually had some leftovers, which they saved for later. Overall, the food was delicious and the price was great compared to other restaurants near us!

My co-workers and myself order from here religiously. Spicey chicken bowls are a perfect quick dinner.

This was my third time eating here and I generally enjoyed it every time.For Tampopo to be located in a very competitive foodie area, it seems to be doing very well. This spot is a nice eat-in / take out hybrid and has a chill environment. I've only order the rice bowl with spicy chicken. I honestly assumed the chicken would be THAT spicy but it was! And In a very good way. The chicken was a bit dry, but overall pretty good seasoned well. I tried some type of unsweetened tea drink that I absolutely hated, but that's what I get for ordering something I knew I wouldn't like since I'm not the biggest unsweetened tea fan.It's also a little pricey, but overall its good quick group hangout / meet up spot to chow at.

Love this place. Have always loved eating in as it's a byob but love getting take out. Great food and super high quality. Great value and really good service. Definitely a place to try.

After my second time ordering takeout from here, I can confirm the same assessment as most of the other reviews here - Tampopo is pretty great no matter what you get. Last time I had the salmon bibimbop, which was pretty tasty, and I'm picky about bibimbop. I think I might have liked my soba noodle salad with tofu and spicy dressing this time even more though. The salad is super filling so either order when you're really hungry or if you like having leftovers. My partner can confirm that the yakisoba noodles with tofu are also very good, but the curry yudon tofu is GREAT. I have to admit I was a bit envious when he got that the last time we ordered. I was thinking of getting it this time but decided to go for something lighter. Now he's declared loyalty to curry yudon tofu for all future visits so I've lost my chance. Guess I'll just have to try japchae noodles instead next time...

Food was great and the server is very friendly! Bibimbop gyuksoo was delicious and so was tofu katsu. Good portions and feels healthy fresh and light

I get this place at least 3x a month. It's great and it's decently priced. I always get my food consistently good and the front staff are always nice people.
