“Popo?! Where? Oh, Tampopo. They're right over there!
Tampopo Restaurant has been a long term tenant at the Artesia City Plaza. I remember dining at the prior occupant (Sushi Samurai, I believe), many years ago. Originally planning to dine at Katsumura, only to find they're not open Mondays, Tampopo became Plan B for some sustenance.
Lunch Specials & 50% off Sushi everyday
Tampopo ramen & gyoza lunch special-
Priced at $14.95, the Tampopo ramen & gyoza lunch special was a good deal. The broth was thinner than what was expected, and the ramen wasn't al dente (more spaghetti-like) to my preference. However, the bowl of soup had an ample amount of food with three thick slabs of tender pork belly.
The gyoza provided a nice textural contrast to the ramen, and were pleasurable to eat.
Service was good. Seating was readily available and the wait was minimal for food. Parking is at the Artesia City Plaza, which can become quite difficult to find during peak hours. Tampopo is located in-between Bakers & Baristas & Sweetee Thai.
Not ramen quite comparable to a dedicated ramen shop, Tampopo's ramen & gyoza lunch special is still a bargain for a filling meal. Things are expensive now, so I find Tampopo's reasonable pricing & ample quantities and good choice when in search of a meal option in the area.“

“Great ramen and sushi restaurant in a small strip mall. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is not big, but has a large table in the middle for a larger group and some smaller tables for groups of 2 to 6, and some bar seating. We were warmly greeted and could sit anywhere. We ordered two ramen soups, a truffle mushroom variety and a spicy beef version. With both, we chose them as a combo with gyoza and spicy tuna, respectively. The soups came quickly and looked and tasted amazing. They played country music, which was a bit unexpected. But still 5 stars for food and service. Overall, a place we have bookmarked for our next trip.“

“Soooooooo goooood! Had the Black Tonkotsu soy sauce ramen with pork broth, bamboo shoots, soy sauce, green onions, egg, bbq pork, and black garlic oil. Everything was very fresh and savory! The second time I went there I ordered the Tonkotsu Miso Ramen that has pork broth with chatsu (bbq pork) topped with green onions, corn and egg.“

“Genuine Japanese Ramen with rich Miso taste. No other ramen shops serve this taste and only one in SoCal. It’s worth to spend your time to go to this place if you are Ramen Lover! Now they start serving Shio-Ramen (Clear Salt base soup) with Truffle oil flavor. This one is very good, too!“

“First time here. Ordered a chicken ramen noodles and a passion fruit drink.
When we first walked in, the line was extremely long. We thought we would wait for an hour. However, there, you order and pay first and seat yourself. The service is pretty quicc. We ordered within 15 min of arriving. As soon as we ordered, we found seats. Within 10 min of sitting, we received our order.
Pretty nice atmosphere.
Vegetarian options: My brother is vegetarian. He had a vegetarian ramen noodles nd white rice.“

“For the main course, I went with the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with umami, while the spice level gave it a nice kick without overpowering the deep pork flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the chashu was tender and flavorful.
I also tried the pork bowl and salmon bowl, and both were solid choices. The pork bowl had juicy, well-seasoned pork over fluffy rice, making for a comforting bite every time. The salmon bowl stood out with its fresh, high-quality salmon that melted in my mouth.
The service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was welcoming. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for ramen lovers and anyone craving a great Japanese meal!“

“It was 9:30 pm and we were looking for a place with soup that was still open, and Hiro Ramen fit the bill just fine for quick fast food ramen and udon.
My wife got the udon with tempura and I got the shoyu ramen with pork slices, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and egg. The prices seemed a little high on the menu but the portions seemed fair for the price and I paid two dollars more for the large portion.
The dining area was roomy. Ordering from a machine is not something I'm used to yet but the lady behind the counter walked us through our order and choosing what we wanted was not a pain.
Of course this is not a high end gourmet place but I have no problem giving it 5 stars on a quick noodle shop scale.“

“It's esp. good during chilly, cold weather. The (okonomiyaki) egg-noodle dish was tasty--would love for them to make it more Japanese style, so good!
Miso ramen was flavorful enough. Tuna on crispy rice YUM.
Poke was OK--maybe ditch the mayo & pool of soy sauce.
Service terrific. Sat 3:45 PM meal.
May Mako Ramen thrive through 2025 & 2026 (brace for it, America).“

“To be fair I haven’t really tried the ramen here. I’ve ordered through DoorDash and I’ve tried a few of the bowls here. The beef sukiyaki bowl was a tad salty for my liking but I appreciated the whole egg and ginger that came with it. Also tried a few of the rolls, spicy tuna, so good and eel roll. Maybe it’s cause I ordered through DD but everything was just average to me. Nothing really stood out to me. Price is good though. The bowls are filling and reasonably priced.“

“Me & the wifey wanted to randomly select a ramen spot we had both not checked out to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary.
A pretty good choice for the tastes were on point and quite delicious for our Ramen cravings.
Wifey got their Signature Tonkatsu Ramen with wood ear mushroom, corn and a side of garlic butter for the both of us to share.
I got the same thing without the fungus among us and corn. However I got it spicy and boy let me tell you it was quite spicy, Got me perspiring and gasping. Don't get me wrong it was well worth it for the flavor taste buds kicked in overdrive and lead me into pure Ramen ? joy.
I had to eat the Ramen at a slow pace which gave me time to enjoy every slurp and chew.
If you love spicy like I do, go ahead and get it spicy. If this level of spicy was hot, I don't wanna know what the 'Super spicy' level is all about.
Oh yeah we did get an order of their 'Lolipop' chicken which was really crispy and delightful. Not quite the Karaage as it may seem. Traditional Karaage has more ginger kick than this one, however it's still a great appetizer which comes with a nice spicy plum sauce for dipping and a small mini spring salad.
Service was decent, the restaurant was clean and organized.
I'm not quite sure if I'd come back to this one, however it was a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed being out with my wife.“

“We came here just for some bites. No ramen this time. Staff is friendly, eager to serve your food and help with anything. I love the big wave art on the wall with the several characters all over. Seating area is comfortable. My advice for the hand roll is try to eat it quickly because whenever I leave it sitting for a bit it just kinda turns a little chewy.“

“An Evening at Kin Izakaya: Where Tradition Meets Ambiance In the culinary haven that our city embodies, Kin Izakaya emerges as a sanctuary of authentic Japanese flavors combined with the convivial spirit typical of Japan’s iconic gastropubs. It’s here that tradition and modernity collide to create not just a meal, but an experience worth savoring. The moment you step through the doors of Kin Izakaya, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both lively and intimately comforting. The ambient lighting, coupled with rustic décor and understated oriental motifs, offers a welcoming reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The soft murmur of patrons engaged in animated conversation sets the backdrop for an authentic izakaya experience. Kin Izakaya’s menu is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese fare and innovative culinary creations. The tapas-style dishes, perfect for sharing, encourage a communal dining experience. From the delicate flavors of their sashimi to the robust, savory notes found in their yakitori selection, there’s a delightful complexity in each dish presented. The agedashi tofu, with its perfect crispy exterior giving way to silken tofu within, is a testament to the chef’s prowess in honoring traditional flavors while serving contemporary palates.“

“This ramen chain maintains its quality standards throughout their various branches. I’ve been to some of their other locations and haven’t ever been disappointed. They have 3 vegan ramen options along with some vegan appetizers. I did the Impossible Rice Bowl and the Impossible Gyoza. Both were very delicious. The restaurant is situated in a nice outdoor shopping mall with adequate indoor and outdoor seating. Can’t say there’s anything wrong with this restaurant.“

“My husband and I have tried ramen in both Japan and Korea. We couldn't forget the rich and creamy pork bone broth of tonkotsu and miso ramen, so we decided to check out this restaurant, and the broth is simply a masterpiece. For Koreans, this could even be a perfect hangover soup after a night of drinking. The broth is top-notch. We went during lunch, and the prices were very reasonable. I think we'll be coming back often.“

“I had never tried Ramen before and I wanted my first time to be at a well-known Spot. I know SLR has many locations to choose from. We got the classic ramen with mini app for only $20.50 dine in. I thought that pricing was decent. Food came out quickly and It was delicious! I can't wait to go again. The location is a bit small inside but we ate on the patio which was nice for a May evening. Lots of free public parking.
Look at this beauty of a photo!“

“My brother and I wanted to try a new ramen place and ended up here. The food itself was great as I got the bulduk ramen and tempura shrimp and my brother got the tonkatsu. It was all good until I wanted the check. We sat for 30 minutes waiting for a check. The front of staff was more concerned with the group next to us or being idle. I have pressed to call for a server multiple times and hearing the ping letting them know a table needed help but I could not get their attention. I only got my check after the table next to us asked for a check when I told them I wanted a check. I partly blame the system for not properly letting the staff know since the ping only went off for a server request but also for how unattentive the staff is to some other guests. We were at the corner of the bar.“
