Whether it's just the two of us or with a group, there have been no complaints on our end. Let's see how this visit went. We were seated once we walked in. Just like before, the decor was set up perfectly and each customer was taken care of by the wonderful staff making sure everyone was comfortable. No problems here at all. For the selections, we had pan-fried pork gyoza and I had chicken Katsudon for my entree (Sophia had her usual, chicken Katsu Ramen). Everything delivered was on point. Well-cooked and tasted great. I do wish I could add more, but when you eat regular dishes, there's nothing more to say. Thank you again Tanpopo Ramen for making Sophia and myself satisfied. Keep it up :)

I appreciated the simplicity of this place in that regard , the broth really talked for itself. Im not a fan of miso so I wasnt exactly sure if id like it, but like I said, best ramen ive ever had . Ive never had a good ramen egg either, sometimes they're just too egg-y or mucus like for lack of a better descriptor, I actually ate this ramen egg. It didnt taste like egg and had a very nice jello like texture, will be going back next time im in the area to try the katsu . Service was also very prompt & attentive. I was sat right away, I had my food within 10 minutes even though the place was a little busy since it was dinner time on a Saturday night, and the server was very nice. **Ramen excluded the nori**

Today I got the seafood ramen with mussels, clams and a couple of pieces of imitation crab sticks. The broth was warm and tasty, and spicy after adding generous spoonfuls of the chili oil, a must-add for cold, wet weather. I also snuck some bites of my husband's katsu-don and was a little jealous of how good it was. Next time I will get the katsu ramen bowl and have the best of both worlds. We also got sashimi and crab Rangoon for appetizers which everyone enjoyed. And my lychee ice tea was sooo good. It's a bit sweet but the lychee flavor was amazing and I can't wait to try the other flavors. Overall a great experience, especially after a day of traveling in chilly weather. Thank you for the great service and friendly welcome, can't wait to return!

I was really craving udon, and it's hard to find -- but I discovered this spot on Door Dash and…read morethought I'd give it a shot. I ordered the Kake Udon for me and two orders of steamed gyoza for my kiddo. I gotta say, I was surprised when the order arrived. The udon noodles were paper thin compared to what I'm used to. The fried tofu was so hard it was basically inedible, and the broth - well, it had little to no flavor. To top it off, my kiddo took a bite of one dumpling and then spit it out. This child DESTROYS dumplings, so I asked him what happened -- he said "who puts corn and carrots in a gyoza dumpling?!?" and I can't say I disagree with him. Pork and cabbage filling - duh! Overall, totally not our jam and we probably won't revisit it. I guess the reviews are based more on folks who haven't experienced true Japanese cooking? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure my Japanese host mother would have given it no stars.

Food - 9/10 I was in a ramen mood so I just got the basic Miso Ramen with an egg and Shrimp Tempura inside and it was pretty tasty and it looked like something from Naruto. Interior - 8/10 like I said, it's a small business and I wasn't expecting something big and decorative but everything looked nice and organized. There were still some boxes I saw out (During my visit) but I wasn't complaining, they had to work with what they had so I understand. Overall I would definitely come back and probably consider myself a regular customer but I wouldn't use DoorDash because the food would get soggy quick. I would give it a 9/10.

Looking at my tekka sake don from before to now, the meat slices are much thinner. I really miss how it used to be. The Korean chirashi was the most disappointing. Last time, we had large pieces of fish meat in a yummy gochujang style sauce. It was all about the fish and the rice. This time they mixed the salad into the bowl. There was SIGNIFICANTLY much less meat. I know times are hard and many things are much more expensive today, but these are pretty disappointing changes. Service is still very wonderful and they are kind. The presentation of the rolls is very cute. The special Japanese tables are a great dining experience. The restaurant itself is very well kept and clean.

Felt bad, but we made sure to put in our order, eat without making a mess, and leave. They have a sneeze guarded area where you can see all the options for the poke bowls, but you have to order everything at the kiosks. Make sure to scroll all the way down on your selections to see all the options/toppings. FOOD: ~Poke Bowls: I got the 2 protein option and my husband got the 3 protein option with rice. The salmon and tuna was solid (they were cubed), and the spicy tuna was the chopped and dressed type. The flavor and texture of the spicy tuna was good. ~Toppings: they have a bunch of different options for toppings where you can choose as many as you want, with only a few of them having a surcharge. ~~the ones we got were cucumber, edamame, green onion, ginger, crab salad (shredded kani), seaweed salad, garlic crisp, roasted seaweed, and fried onions. Everything was good ~Sauce (you can choose up to 2): got the standard sriracha mayo which was tasty ~Shrimp Shumai (3.5/5): standard - note they were deep fried ~Shrimp Tempura (4/5): solid - very crispy and good sized shrimp ~Thai Tea (3.8/5) with boba (2/5): thai tea had good flavor and just creamy enough. The boba was not good though. Overall, this place was good and better than I expected.
