Of all the ramen I've eaten in the valley; they're clearly working some magic in the kitchen here at Tanpopo. The tonkotsu broth was super light yet full of flavor. The think pork strips were so fatty and juicy and the soy egg was excellent once it hit the hot broth and I dipped my noodles into the runny yolk. Perfect noodles round it out with just enough bite to them and when combined with all the toppings in the bowl, it was a different yet amazing flavor each and every bite. Crispiest takoyaki I have ever had and will definitely come back for more to try their other ramen bowls. But for a guaranteed hit, I'll always pick the tonkotsu. Also butterfly pea flower tea is nice💜💜💜 as is the asahi on draft. Will definitely come back hungry for more.

Been coming here for many years now. It’s quite a popular hole in the wall style Japanese restaurant that serves many classic comforts. The food is great but honestly the service is kind of hit or miss sometimes. I feel like the staff are kind of awkward at times. Both with interaction and when it comes to actually serve the dishes. I think they could use a little work with that. But otherwise everything’s good :)

One of my favorite ramen places in all of Arizona! They take great care with the ramen and it's always delicious. The staff is great and I will keep coming back here!! Try the appetizers too - I've never gotten one I didn't love.

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.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ben Donie · Aug 2025

Not the same. We’ve been coming to Tampopo Remen for years and everything we had is just…noticeably different than it used to be. This used to be our top ramen place to go and now my daughter doesn’t want to go back. The service was quick and friendly. The tontatsu ramen was ok, but not amazing like it used to be. My daughter was disappointed in the shio ramen. The chicken karage is now served with mayo instead of the salt seasoning it used to be.
