Reviews for Tampopo Restaurant in Gardena, CA
Great food, super delicious ramen + sushi. Customer service is excellent and friendly. Great ambiance as well. I highly... recommend it. Read more
Got the chicken teriyaki bento for dinner. The price was great - it's a great bang for your buck with massive portions. The... flavors are bland though. My favorite part was the gyoza and miso soup. The teriyaki sauce was unusual. The place was prettypacked when we went on a Saturday night and everyone sits in close proximity. Read more
Hands down one of my favorite places. I love everything I have ever tried here but some of my favorites would be the baked green... mussels as an appetizer, the Japanese burrito sushi rolls, and for the ramen I get the spicy seafood ramen with miso broth.Tampopo will always be one of my go to restaurants!

We came to try this place after watching the old school movie, Tampopo. Our expectations weren't high so they met it, but... unfortunately, they did not exceed it. Their ramen was very mediocre, didn't taste like the broth was cooked the traditionalway. It just tasted like seasoned hot water. The noodle was average as well. When we asked for the noodles to be cooked "firm",they seemed very confused which is a sign that it's not that authentic. I have to say that their combo specials are a gooddeal. You get more than enough food hence the 3 stars. Their service is also good and fast. I personally won't be returning dueto the share amount of better quality Japanese food in the area. But this place is worth a try! Read more
Easily some of the worst sushi I've had for the money, I was unimpressed with everything, and it seems like every dish on the... menu with the exception of a few have imitation crab, I would recommend going somewhere else. I've been to a lot of sushi placesand don't have very high expectations for any but this one definitely dropped the ball Read more
Pretty good portions and the quality is not bad. Got chicken bento and a few rolls. The dressing for the salad is actually good.... Our orders came with miso soup. Major plus: when ordering off-peak hours, they prepared the food super quick... I?d say it?d beready in less than 15 minutes! Would not recommend the tempura calamari though, it wasn?t bad but not the best. Read more
Disappointed again with the Sea Weed Salad. When I called in to order my food today I told the waiter to make sure that the... lettuce with the Sea Weed Salad to be fresh because last time it was wilted. Guess what? It happened again. On top it looksnice and fresh but once you dig in it's bad. How are we supposed to enjoy a salad when it's looks bad. Read more
Total gem and always satisfied. Staff is very present, which I appreciate. Food quality is consistent. They did remove their... lunch specials, which I know a lot of ppl liked, but I get it. It's a business and maybe it was wasn't the decision to continuethat offer. I still go. My favorites are ; chicken miso ramen, sun-kissed roll (no rice sushi roll), and thr sesame chicken. Allyummy.
