Tampopo Restaurant

On the outside, the place looked very unassuming. The wooden bars that show through the door gives the impression that it was not open for business, but the neon open sign was on. Inside, the place is small and cozy. Tables were adequately spaced apart. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food and had no complaints so that’s always a plus. The rolls were pretty good. Miso soup was just right. Portions were good. Service was also good. The crew members were quick to remove empty dishes. This was our first visit to this place so, hopefully, the next ones are as good or better. (I did notice the sushi chef not wearing gloves while preparing the rolls.) Btw, parking spaces are tight.

This place is great if you're looking for decent quality sushi on a budget. We came for a quick lunch and tried a mix of items on their lunch special. My favorites were the teriyaki and Tempura. We also got the sashimi, cutlet and a roll. Overall I was happy with the food and even more so with the price. I would definitely come back here

Good food with very generous servings! Their rolls were our favorite, they were really good. Their bento boxes were good too however the meat was quite hard to chew. Service was very impressive!

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 😊

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. Lunch Specials & 50% off Sushi everyday 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.
