Suggestions, please? I’m looking for something other than Kenzo, which is my standby. I want good toothy noodles, and, as in "Tampopo", a profound broth. Location and ambience don’t matter much if I can get lost in...

Are there any really good vegeterian ramen soups out there? I just watched "Tampopo" and now I really want some good Japanese noodle soup...

I thought this piece on chefs as movie characters was quite nice——it’s commentary interspersed with video clips from a number of recent and not-so-recent movies centered around serious cooks (Tampopo, Eat Drink...

La Cocina?! Near a place called Tampopo?

I don’t know how authentic it is, but Tampopo on Mentana (just south of Mont-Royal)has a great Yakisoba dish.

I’ll go anywhere, but have no car to call my own, so would prefer suggestions in DC or on Metro. The dumpling is the key (shrimp only, not the pork-and-shrimp kind please), but related menus welcome, as are Tampopo-style...

Looking for a good falafel or shwarma around U of T. Prefer spot to be near or on College rather than north on Bloor.

Read that yesterday. I must admit to being someone that has a soft spot for good food movies including Tampopo, Eat Drink Man Woman, Big Night etc. With the growing intersting in things culinary and the arrival of the superstar...

Aubergine, You sushi request sounds like a perfect fit for Tampopo. Good, relatively inexpensive, sushi with a wide assortment of ramen and non sushi offerings. I have posted on Tampopo, one of my favorites, a number of times, I...

I don’t think it exists for many of the reasons that Herb stated in a post earlier this week. For relatively inexpensive Japanese/Korean non-sushi, I really like Tampopo on 21st between Chestnut and Walnut. The bi bim bap...

I second El Fuego. Very fast, not too 'spensive for what it is. Unless you want to sit down and relax for a while, El Fuego is hard to beat. Tampopo isn’t too bad, and right on your block of Sansom. Coco’s on 8th St. is...

Is there any place in the boston area that offers authentic Japanese ramen? I haven’t had any since I lived in Tokyo and I want to share the “ramen” experience with my boyfriend. I haven’t tried Tampopo in...

Hey erik – did you by any chance try the ramen? I saw some interesting stuff on their menu and wondered how it compared to tampopo.

A colleague is in search of “really good Ramen” with a Tampopo-like atmosphere. That’s the first requirement. The second is that it be in Gardena, although if there are none in Gardena, any location will do....
