My boyfriend gave me what is now my favorite movie in the entire world- Tampopo- for my birthday. He is perfect, I know. Anyway, he and I have rhapsodized over where we could get such an experience without buying a plane ticket....

Just opened about 3 weeks ago. Nice space, right in the middle of all the jewelry stores. I don’t consider Tampopo ‘destination’ sushi by any means, but certainly is a nice new lunch option (especially since...

After reading about Tampopo on Lincoln Ave. further down on the board, my girlfriend and I have eaten there twice since we moved here in September. Both times, we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, feasting on such items as Age...

I was reading the exchanges from 7/12 about Tampopo/Porter Sq Exchange and suddenly developed a craving for katsu-don, despite the ferocious heat outside (a bowl of cold soba ramen would have been more appropriate for the...

Finally found a great sushi place relatively nearby (Sakura House in E Quogue) so my husband tells me to get "Tampopo soup". He saw the word “tempura” and thought that was it. You can tell we don’t usually go...

I saw Tampopo last night for the first time, and as may be expected I am feeling a serious urge to slurp down some good ramen tonight. I’ve combed the board for noodle soup suggestions and this is what I’ve come up...

Attending a two day conference at the Radisson Miyako in Japantown this week, we had the opportunity to eat once each at Sapporo-ya and Mifune. On successive days, each served us absolutely superb freshly made noodles. They were...

and other batter-coated stuff seemed to be the focus at Tampopo, the 2nd from the last of the tiny Japanese joints. So I got their matsu bento, which allowed me to sample a sweet corn croquet (pretty good, although I’ve had...

Food and movies: Two great tastes that taste great together.

I asked one of my friends (who is married to a Japanese) to look for Tampopo when he went to Japan last month. He looked, could not find a copy but found out that it will be re-relesed at the end of september. I’ve googled,...

Hi... Looking for those chokey chewy dough balls from the film Tampopo, that nearly killed the old gent (till they saved him with a vacuum hose). In the film, they looked like small bao, if I recall, but had this insane...
