Babette’s Feast Tampopo The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover

Rob, you could try gwiv’s suggestion of tampopo. I don’t know if it’s a “special celebration” sort of place, but it’s a friendly comfortable spot. I also really like their soups. I’ll...

Tampopo in the Porter Exchange has them, and they’re made fresh (or at least they used to be—I haven’t been there recently). They were alright, though inconsistently cooked, sometimes a little underdone and...

Tampopo on 21st is tasy and inexpensive. The Bi Bim Bop is around $8.

rice dish, got chicken breast katsu don at Tampopo in the Porter Sq. mall which really hit the spot. I couldn’t remember which place people liked best but this worked out just fine. Scrambled egg, bits of ginger, good...

I was watching “The Big Night”. I think it is my favorite food movie (tampopo & eat drink man woman come in close 2nd and 3rd). The scenes in which they finally eat the meal, the people eat a multi-course italian meal...

love the simple taste of a light udon broth with aburagae (fried tofu) - not easy to find in japanese restos in t.o. - recently found it on the menu of Issmi, a sushi place on avenue/dunblaine (s of wilson).... has anyone seen...

Thanks, that was the funniest thing I have seen since "Tampopo." ER, it WAS intended as satire, wasn’t it?

place close to Venice and Centinela. While I like the ramen @ Tampopo also in Mitsuwa, I’m jonesing for Udon and Soba. I will go as far as Sawtell and Santa Monica but I don’t want to have to travel that far. Thanks P.

It’s on the north side of 1st street, between San Pedro & Central, across from the Little Tokyo village. Eating there always makes me think of Tampopo.

Both on 21st, just below Chestnut: Sushi at Tampopo? Good prices, not a lot of variety but good basics, i.e., if you want a dragon roll with uni, not your place, if you want a decent spicy tuna roll and some potstickers,...

! One of my favorite movies, and also about the perfect bowl of noodles, Tampopo. for this I would go to Rai Rai Ken in east village, that place gives me the Tampopo feel stealing the secret recipes for stock and the two lovers...

My first suggestion would be Tampopo on 20th near Chestnut (unless fast-casual Korean is too exotic or too casual). My second suggestion is Devil’s Alley on Chestnut near 19th. Although mostly a pub/“ribs/burger”...
