Tampopo Kitchen - New York, New York

Delicious sushi spot in this sweet little neighborhood! The udon also looks great but we can never pull ourselves away from the sushi menu. The quality of the fish is excellent, and the service is always so warm and wonderful! Love sitting at the bar for a special date and enjoying excellent happy hour deals on drinks until 6pm daily. Highly recommend!

Tampopo hits the spot again with their Sushi & Udon featured menu items. I enjoy the food and dining experience.

I will say that this is very small location with limited seating so if it’s busy you may have to wait. However, it makes it a nice intimate vibe for a date or dinner with a friend.

I loved the Tan Tan Ramen with shrimp shumai appetizer. Everything was delicious and the sushi was prepared fresh in front of us. I will be back!

Sweet potato sushi was delicious! The veggies and rice needed something -maybe tofu? Avocado cream dish was also great!

Fantastic uptown sushi restaurant with fresh, quality cuts of seafood and tasty sake. You can see the staff making fresh Ramen noodles and broth daily. There are limited seats, but don't worry as plenty of bar stools are available. Sushi platters are great value and I absolutely loved the tempura prawn roll with avocado... The perfect mix of fresh, spicy and crunchy.

Was excited to try Tampopo Kitchen as they make their own noodles from scratch. Their broth is really good, and the ambiance and service are great, but...there's a reason most people rave about the sushi. I ordered veggie tempura kake udon (cold) and the presentation was good. I think the owners should teach the kitchen staff what real tempura should look and taste like. Not their fault, they don't know better. The batter coating was tough and over fried and not made with tempura flour. Also they were out of half the sake (drink) menu. Do better, owners! A nice addition to the neighborhood if they put in a little more effort. Maybe due to summer vacation. I might try again in the fall/winter but not really tempted to return at this point.

i am a simple girl with simple needs. tampopo understands this, and yet, even the most basic of dishes (avo cucumber sushi, miso soup…even their soy sauce) are prepared with a level of care and expertise that cannot go unrecognized.

on the other hand, i appreciate the uniqueness & customizability of their noodle soups. from the types of noodles to broths and toppings, any substitutions or special requests we have made were consistently executed to perfection. i actually have lots of dietary restrictions, so a restaurant that can accommodate is always a blessing. i really don’t mind ordering the same dishes everywhere i go, but it is great to have options here.

this is one of the first spots i think of when i’m looking for a nourishing, healing meal. staff and atmosphere are equal parts peaceful and welcoming, though we usually get takeout & picnic in the park.

We visited to celebrate, so as well as a little too much of the (very tasty) food, we each had a sake flight, which I would absolutely recommend doing if you'd like to discover your taste in sake, or just have an excellent experience. We got to choose from a rather random selection of cups for the sake and it was fun looking at the different ones and discovering hidden details. The three saki were not poured all at once, but in order through the meal (I saved a few sips for comparisons). We also had a pot of hot tea (genmaicha).

Food wise, we shared vegetable tempura, then I had udon soup and a pair of hand rolls. This was too much food!

Service was truly excellent, and I would absolutely recommend this place!

This is my happy place. All the food is amazing and the people are so open and delightful. I adore coming here and reading the manga wallpaper and the cool, hip, Japanese vibe. The sushi is impeccable. I think their fish buyer is a magician because the fatty tuna is AMAZING. Seriously, it's a restaurant that feels like a hug.
