This is a ramen store that I would go to every weekend if I could. The restaurant is small and cozy. It is always busy so make sure you come early if you come with a big group. Their ramen is delicious, my favorite one is Tonkotsu, the soup is so fragrance with the perfect chasu, grill pork belly cook to perfection, I always order extra because that is how good they are. Their noodle is so tender but yet cuper bouncy with each bite. I highly recommend order extra noodle because that thing is so addictive. We also order Takoyaki and Agedashi Tofu for appetizer, which are delicious. The Soymilk base vegetarian ramen, and I quote from my partner “The broth is to die for”. The service is super fast and friendly, I highly recommend this place if your date loves animate and Japanese cuisine.

Authentic and amazing! You can see them making the ramen, and the ambience is great with generous serving sizes. The ultra spicy ramen, wings, and mocha mochi were all delicious.

I'm originally from Hawaii and part Japanese so my expectation for Japanese food is quite hi! The food did not disappoint the atmosphere was amazing and the chefs did a great job of making the food. Highly recommend 10 out of 10

Overall a pretty good bowl of ramen. I would eat here again but it's not exceptional. I had the Tonkotsu ramen. Broth was flavorful, slightly salty, and on the thinner side. It did not have the white, bone broth consistency and flavor I expected for Tonkotsu. It had one whole, lightly soy marinated, egg which was nicely soft cooked. There were 2 pieces of chasu that had a light grilled taste but were not otherwise marinated. The pork was average in flavor,  but not special and portion size was a little skimpy. The  toppings were fairly typical and the noodles were cooked well. By the end of the bowl, it did seem a bit too salty.

Service was fast and friendly. Nice, clean atmosphere.

Realistically a 6/10,

Tampopo ramen is very decent, offering a variety of different flavors and appetizers. For me, this was a higher rating maybe a few years ago when it was harder to find good ramen in Arizona. However, with more competition it is hard to say I recommend this place. Simply, it is slightly pricey for what you get, and the ramen is just fine overall.
