Had a great experience at Ramen Tanpopo. The broth was flavourful without being too salty, and the noodles had a nice bite to them. Portions were just right and the prices felt reasonable for the quality. Service was friendly and quick, even during a busy period. The place has a simple, cosy vibe, and the food came out consistently hot and fresh. Overall, a solid spot if youβre craving comforting, well-made ramen. Iβll definitely come back to try the other dishes.

Recommended by a chef friend of mine, I love their ramen and perfect for this Winter Season. All time favorite Karaage and Butter Corn Ramen will always be on our order from the menu.

The ramen at this place is absolutely amazing, and the side dishes are just as impressive. The service is excellent too. Itβs a great spot to come alone and enjoy a beerβthis one in particular is incredibly delicious!

I ordered karaage chicken here today, but it was undercooked. When I informed the staff, their response was, βWe are following the recipe.β Even visibly, the chicken was pink and looked undercooked, but they kept insisting it was fully cooked and safe to eat. Iβm really curiousβhow can chicken that still has a bloody appearance be considered fully cooked?

This is my first Google review. I had a solo dining experience at the ramen shop with two other customers seated nearby. While placing my order, the waiter asked if I was together with the other two customers, to which I replied that I wasn't. However, when they brought out the dishes, my ramen was mistakenly placed on the table of the other two customers. Upon realizing their mistake, the waiter astonishingly placed the partially eaten ramen from the other customers' table onto mine. I found this situation quite absurd since the ramen had already been consumed by the other customers. I expressed my concerns, but there was no apology throughout the ordeal. Eventually, they replaced the dish for me, but the lack of any apology left me feeling quite disappointed and disrespected. I won't be returning due to their handling of the situation, which has raised doubts about their hygiene standards in my mind.

[Update 01/07/2023] Came for dinner alone. The place was busy. I get it but I stood there and nobody paid any attention. Went over to the staff at the counter who only had to say no table when asked for a seat for one. Asked if I could wait for next available and he said no. I asked how long will be the wait, he said, don't know. I said, is it all you got to say, and he says yeah. And that's all he had to say. I was speechless and offended, and walked out of there. [Update 17/03/2023] Went back for Miso Ramen and KaraAge. Miso was definitely better than Shoyu for my taste, but chashu (pork meat) was still disappointing - too cold, dry and chewy. Wish it was more tender and juicy the way it should be, I think. Karaage was good - crispy, flavorful, and not dry. Still a 4 star until they do something about chashu. I tried Tokyo style shoyu chashu ramen. $16. You can up-size it for extra $4 which I took. Very good portion. I wasn't super impressed though. The noodle was too under cooked even though I prefer undercooked than overcooked. You definitely get a lot of meat if you order the $16 chashu one over the $13 basic one but the meat wasn't soft enough for my liking. A bit dry and chewy. Stock and Tare weren't that impressive either. I will try the miso one next time to see if it was just me or not. They sell Japanese beer too which I will have to try with Kara age.

Dined there on Fri. I ordered Miso ramen and it still tastes great as before. Saw the other table ordered karaage chicken and looked very tasty so went ahead and ordered one as well. Wrong decision!! When it came, it looked so greasy and didn't taste cripsy at all. Some could have also cooked a bit longer. When complaint to the staff at the counter, the reponse was that they used timer. I was a bit speechless. Have they not thought maybe the oil wasn't hot enough? Anyway, likely won't dine there again even though i would definitely miss their miso ramen.

Good ramen. The broth is beautiful. The pork didnβt taste like fire (bbq is best) and was not especially delicious. A bit dry. The egg was not as luscious inside as I would like. Bright and clean place though with spacious, well ventilated bathroom. Professional staff. All round good spot to stop but nothing exceptional.

I think I've gone past this place and never stopped to go inside. We were looking for a Ramen place and thought we'd give it a try and have now come back two weeks in a row. So far we've tried the T2, S2, M2, edamame and the katsu chicken rice. They're all very unique in their taste so you have to try and select the one that matches your taste buds. The difference between the T1 and T2 is that the T2 gets extra meat. The takeaway menu explains it all so I've posted a copy. I had the T2 and the M2. I requested for the addition of spice to make it medium spicy and they're both so good. If you like the taste of a strong soup broth, you'll love it. I personally prefer the M2 to the T2. If you like the creamy texture, the S2 is the goer. For kids, the T1 with the added corn went down a treat. The serving size is also very generous. There is a seaweed paper and we didn't know what to do and looked up some videos. I've taken a photo of what I did with mine and it tasted very good.
