Tampopo is a charming restaurant run by a seasoned Japanese couple, offering a cozy and friendly dining experience. The menu includes a good selection of authentic Japanese cuisine like curry, noodles, tempura, katsu don, and Japanese curry risotto. Dishes are well-balanced in flavors and homemade, with the katsu being perfectly crisp and the curry risotto tasting delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making diners feel like they are being fed by a lovely Japanese family. Customers have praised the incredible pork katsu curry, the best tempura they've ever had, and the comforting, flavorful dishes. The tempura is fresh and beautifully presented, just like in the pictures. Service is quick and welcoming, with staff paying great attention and care to every guest. Although seating is limited and service might not be the fastest, the overall experience is highly recommended. Prices remain surprisingly low for the Boston area, making it a great spot for anyone craving authentic Japanese dishes.
