Sushi is decent for the price, however beware that they put 90% rice and 10% fish and other ingredients. You get what you pay for

Stumbled upon this location looking for somewhere to eat and when I tell you the amazing smells drew us in like a siren call??? There was a barely noticeable wait and we spent it eagerly looking at the menu. Service extremely prompt and scrupulous. Place is a bit small and they fill the space, so be prepared for loud noises. Food came out pretty fast, especially for being slammed, and it was all very, very good! Tried the ramen, udon, and one of the 'baked' rolls. 100% would come back to try more of all of the above!

I recently tried this ramen spot, and it exceeded my expectations.

The broth had a deep, layered flavor that tasted like it had been simmered for hours. The noodles were perfect and overall it felt thoughtfully prepared. Service was quick, and the atmosphere was warm and cozy.

A great place for both ramen lovers and newcomers.

I love Japanese food, if I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life, I would. I also tried many Japanese restaurants but NOTHING beats this place. Everything is fresh and made with patience. And when I say everything is fresh, I mean every single thing, some places usually give out pickled ginger but not here, they slice it themselves. I love this place and this will be my new spot. 🥰

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.

We ordered a lot of food. Different rolls, salads, Ramen bowl, pork cutlets, fried chicken dish, mixed tempura, teriyaki chicken plate. Everything was fast, fresh and incredibly delicious. We used to drive from Norwalk to Tustin for great sushi. I'm so glad we found this restaurant. It's a small building, can seat 10 or so groups of 2/4 people. Tables are pretty close together. Worth the squeeze 😊

This is not the Tampopo I usually go to...I didn't like the fact that the shrimp tempora wasn't a whole shrimp it was pieces of little shrimp that were chewy.
