“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.

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.“

“The service at this place is EXCELLENT. They went out of their way to support us dealing with our toddler (extra cups, a fan to play with, etc.). The food was equally impressive - simple and delicious. Bonus was the very cool mural that combined famous anime characters. A lovely little spot we will be coming to regularly.“

“Gomen is my family's favorite restaurant. At other restaurants, we'd be chugging water, but here, we feel soothed. Our favorite dishes are cold ramen,Korean Style Chanpon and fried rice, and on weekends, we always go for the free kid ramen. They also serve you some K popsicle or mochi ice cream as a complimentary dessert.“

“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!“

“My teenagers and I had the Motto Black, the Motto Red, and the Motto Special. All bowls were tasty and delicious. Noodles were fresh and the chaschu melted in your mouth. Staff was super friendly and attentive. I would recommend as a casual and family friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back again.“

“Tried this place for the 1st time. At the door, you notice the sign that says Military Discount. Thank you for that. Started with Egg Rolls and Spicy Edamame. Great portions, amazing flavors. Sushi had Salmon and it was very good. The ramen was Pork based ans it had a good kick. Good spicy with so much flavor. I gave the 4 stars because they have TV's and I wanted a basketball game. They couldn't change the channels for whatever reason. Asked for the bill and apply the Military Discount on the bill. The discount only applies to the Things I ate/ordered. I was there with my wife so they gave us 2 checks. It was pretty weird but oh well. But that doesn't change the fact that food was great and I want to try more items on the Menu. Good beer selection too 🍺 🍻 Enjoy!“

“Our go to Ramen location. My daughter and I have been coming here since before they got popular. They definitely put out a great ramen and various offerings including sushi rolls. Highly recommend coming in earlier for dinner as they fill up quickly, especially on Friday/Saturdays.“

“It's cramped inside but they outdoor seating which was perfect for the weather. First time visiting. We would go again if we're in the area again. Service was pleasant. Very friendly.
I do suggest trusting your guy when it comes to spicy. The whole family went to dinner. Totally forgot to take a picture. We we hungry 😁
I got the spicy ramen (I don't remember the name.)with pork belly and it was a level 3 spice. I love spicy food but it was almost too much to enjoy the flavor of the soup. I'll get it again but we all tried it and we felt a 2 would be perfect.
Hubby got the Gyu something. It was steak, rice and curry. I'm not a fan of curry but it was pretty good. Meat was super tender.
Son got the same dish I got but not spicy. His was really good. This why we think a spicy level 2 would be good. His could use more spice and my could use less.
Daughter in law got a poke bowl, I think salmon. Great size. Very good portions for each ingredient.
We would order all the same things but make a few alterations but worth hunting for parking and small space for eating.“

“Went in for happy hour. Service was great and prices were well under what you would pay at other ramen establishments. The super spicy ramen was good could use a little more heat. I am not a sadistic hot spice eater so believe me when I say that it was good but notquite sneezing and sinus releiving.
Over all great experience for an up and coming area I will be headed back next week!“

“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.“

“I loved the vegan broth options! Glad we could find a place that has more vegan friendly broth and toppings! Our server Jeraldine was awesome and she took care of our complicated order due to our food allergies! We will be back again!“

“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).“

It's a self service restaurant along with the side dishes such as pickled radish and red ginger which I thought was really nice!

“My new favorite sushi spot in Long Beach. Omg - once, they had some uni from Japan (not Santa Barbara, like most uni here) that was unREAL. I’d advise getting some of the regular sushi/sashimi and not just rolls. Their ramen is bomb, too. As are their appetizers. We usually get the spicy edamame. The owner is a gem, too. Really nice lady who remembers her customers, which always feels nice.“

“A random tiktok video brought me to this place, and boy, am I glad it did! I had the Rare Steak and Crunch Brisket Pho, and it was the best I've ever had. The size of the bowl is absolutely perfect. I left feeling full and very satisfied. The service was fast for a relatively full lunchtime. I am definitely coming back!“

Ever since my friend showed me this place I been hooked ever since and now I take my friends here. I also recommend there dumplings which I always get. The Service here is always nice as well. They do a good job at answering all my questions and have always been kind.“

“We went for lunch. Had their combination option: Shoyu noodles & the crispy chicken appetizer. Those crispy chicken appetizers were really good. Add a touch of the lemon with the sauce...great! The shoyu noodles were very good too. They add more items in their bowls than some other Ramen places...they add the seasoned egg and seaweed to their bowls at no extra cost. Excellent value for the money. We shall return!“

“Had a great experience here. Got pot stickers and the mild beef ramen and it was so good. If I lived closer I’d come more often. I think I spent around $20 for my meal. The workers were so nice and the one guy was asking every single person that came to the counter if they were okay/ if they enjoyed their food which I thought was very sweet. Music was a bit loud but I was by myself so that’s the only reason I noticed. Highly recommend going if you’re looking for a ramen spot and it looked like they had a lot to choose from sushi wise.“

“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.“

“Had AYCE sushi. Pretty high quality sushi. The fish to rice ratio was very good. The speciality rolls were also very good. AYCE was a little on the pricier side at around $33 but you’re able to order regular menu dishes that were cheaper ($15-$20)“
