Tampopo Ramen

Excellent choice! I finally stopped walking by/wondering and curious…I’ll be back! Don’t delay, go eat there. I had a lunch special and it was delicious. Started off with a nice friendly welcome and concluded with a good price! YUM

The food was delicious, I had the miso ramen and the matcha cheesecake. The broth got lukewarm quickly, so I had it fast. My friend had the shio classic ramen with pork and the hot chili oil on the side. Overall it was delicious. Thanks, kitchen team. Service could have been more hospitable, more attentive. I get it, I work in the industry myself, but the way you chat it up in the back with your friends with a smile, is the way you should act on the floor with your customers. As soon as we walked in, we waited for someone to say hello, but understandably that took a minute since one person was taking orders. I thought there was one girl but I think there were like three girls working on the floor. Anyway, after they cleaned the area they just dropped the menu on the counter with no regar

Excellent spot. The place is small, but totally worth it. They have counter seating right in front of the kitchen, so you can watch them cooking. I tried the spicy miso ramen and it was amazing — broth on point, perfect portion, and a reasonable price. Definitely a place to return to, even as your first stop when you arrive in NYC.

Had brunch with a good friend, we both had meal sets with happy hour drinks and dessert! Came out to about $48 each, and the sake cup with the panda design is free to take back home! This is the best, authentic izakaya-style Japanese restaurant in Washington Heights. Music wasn’t too loud but still contributed to the good vibes. Shout out to our server Peter!

The mini-sized ramen set was satisfying and well put together. I wanted more dumplings, so I ordered another one. I think I’ll be craving that ale beer again, too.
