The ramen here is absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and super satisfying. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff were so friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. The atmosphere is also cozy and relaxing, perfect for a casual meal or a chill night out. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Japanese ramen with great service!

Been going to the original Tanpopo in Albany for years. The Schenectady site definitely holds up to the standard! Tanpopo is by far my favorite ramen noodle place and I've been up and down the East Coast and have tried many ramen noodle places. Speedy friendly service and tasty food. That's all I need. Oh and the spicy pork buns are *chef's kiss* 🤌🏽

The crab rangoon is to die for. When it was served I instantly popped one into my mouth and scorched my tongue because it was so hot. Once I recovered I did the exact same thing a second time because they're so yummy I couldn't wait for them to cool down to eat them. The service was very good, the food was served quickly, the atmosphere was very calm and comfortable. I will be visiting again soon!
