I got the beef bibimbap and everything tasted so yummy and fresh! The interior of the restaurant is really cute which made the whole experience very comforting. Their Gochujang sauce is also great

I ordered beef bibimbap (loved that they had brown rice option) with miso soup for take out. They prepared the food within 10-15minutes of ordering. I've been missing authentic korean food and the food was amazing and satisfied my needs. Oh and for the egg, I added fried egg at home myself. As a korean i would rate this place price and taste 10/10. Definitely would visit again :)

Oden udon in stone pot was delicious - this one is not a vegetarian dish, but I noticed a menu with many vegetarian options

I got the udon noodle stir fry with chicken and kimchi and my partner got the chicken rice bowl with fried pork dumplings, we both got bottles of tea, for 40 total. All of it was super delicious, especially the sauce used in the udon noodles and the chicken itself. Good portion sizes, fast service, good atmosphere, like a small fast-casual setting. Will definitely go back!

The food is incredible tasty and fresh. My go to order is the chicken bimbimbob with a fried egg. Prices are pretty reasonable as well! You can dine in but it’s more of a take out vibe.

If there were more stars to give for this rating, I would give them. This restaurant is genuinely so good it's amazing. My mom and I got a pork and chicken bento box, and everything in the bos was so good! The pork tasted like the Korean BBQ style you'd find in Korea, while the chicken was very well marinated as well. The vegetables were so good, especially the edamame, and the fried potato ball tasted exactly like the one I had in Korea. The food is so filling, yet the portions aren't too much and aren't heavy. For the amount of food you're given, the price is pretty amazing as well. 1 chicken bento is pnly arpund 10 and for the amount of food you get, especially the amount of meat and the quality, its a steal! They also have aloe vera that I've personally seen in Korea, which is pretty cool and are very delicious. On top of that, the atmosphere is so relaxing and the decor is beautiful! There's calming, classical musical playing, and the walls are filled with pretty diamond art! The people who work there are also very nice! They're so kind, and the man at the cash register was very helpful and has a very relaxed demeanor. 15/10 would come again. Honestly, I think I'd eat here every day if I could.

Been steadily trying all the dining establishments close to my apartment. Most are either overpriced or downright nasty. To my delight Tampopo is neither ! Today I tried the spicy chicken rice bowl. It was at a great price point of 10 and the serving size made me feel like I got my money's worth. The bowl itself featured two broccoli florets with a serving of rice and spicy chicken. The chicken is quite spicy and the flavor reminds me of gochujang. Cooked to order the chicken was succulent and flavor was on point. I will be coming back to try the other fare.

I'm rarely compelled to write a Google Review (in fact, this might be my first) but Tampopo on 44th is such a treasured part of living in this neighborhood. The atmosphere is warm. The staff are attentive and kind. The food is delicious and high quality.
