Comment: Fantastic uptown sushi restaurant with fresh, quality cuts of seafood and tasty sake. You can see the staff making fresh Ramen noodles and broth daily. There are limited seats, but dont worry as plenty of bar stools are available. Sushi platters are great value and I absolutely loved the tempura prawn roll with avocado... The perfect mix of fresh, spicy and crunchy.

Comment: I am a simple girl with simple needs. tampopo understands this, and yet, even the most basic of dishes (avo cucumber sushi, miso soup…even their soy sauce) are prepared with a level of care and expertise that cannot go unrecognized.on the other hand, i appreciate the uniqueness & customizability of their noodle soups. from the types of noodles to broths and toppings, any substitutions or special requests we have made were consistently executed to perfection. i actually have lots of dietary restrictions, so a restaurant that can accommodate is always a blessing. i really don’t mind ordering the same dishes everywhere i go, but it is great to have options here.this is one of the first spots i think of when i’m looking for a nourishing, healing meal. staff and atmosphere are equal parts peaceful and welcoming, though we usually get takeout & picnic in the park.

Comment: We visited to celebrate, so as well as a little too much of the (very tasty) food, we each had a sake flight, which I would absolutely recommend doing if youd like to discover your taste in sake, or just have an excellent experience. We got to choose from a rather random selection of cups for the sake and it was fun looking at the different ones and discovering hidden details. The three saki were not poured all at once, but in order through the meal (I saved a few sips for comparisons). We also had a pot of hot tea (genmaicha).Food wise, we shared vegetable tempura, then I had udon soup and a pair of hand rolls. This was too much food!Service was truly excellent, and I would absolutely recommend this place!

Comment: I order from here often and appreciate that they are in the neighborhood. The food is great and fresh, well prepared but the wait is long. Even when ordering more than an hour (2 hours to be specific) in advance for pick up I still had to wait 25 min while they were making the food after the time it was order to be picked up. That’s just poor service.And I wish they would stop using plastic bags. At this point that’s just not ok.

Comment: The Japanese Curry Udon was delicious. In particular, the broth had deep, rich umami balanced with warm spices. Curry was one subtle note in the symphony of flavour, which is not what I expected. The noodles were excellent, just the right chewiness.

Comment: This place is fantastic, the neighborhood is very lucky to have this spot. The quality of the sushi is outstanding, the people are always so friendly, and you cannot beat the value. It’s a perfect afternoon when I’m at the counter watching Perfecto make — surprise — perfect hand-rolls, swilling $5 Asahi and enjoying delicious bites of fish and rice. They’re doing very good work here.

Comment: We went twice in a week and brought the one year old baby who was messy.Still they welcomed us. The sushi and tempora was delicious. We loved the rolls and saki. The baby loved the chicken meatballs. The server was wonderful. Its a very small place right on main street Hudson Heights.

Comment: Love, love, love Tampopo Kitchen! My family lives at the top of Inwood and we regularly order take-out for delivery. We usually get sushi and occasionally noodles The sushi is always fresh and delicious, meals are consistent, beautifully packaged, ordering and delivery are easy and efficient. I have to eat gluten free for medical reasons and have never been glutened from their basic maki rolls and nigiri (make sure to get ones that dont feature any soy sauce). Plus they have the option of gluten free tamari. It is impossible to find gluten free take-out/delivery in the neighborhood so I really appreciate Tampopo Kitchen!

Comment: I ordered from Tampopo Kitchen recently, when we had friends over, some of whom are vegetarian. I found plenty of vegetarian options on the menu and ordered an assortment of sushi rolls (we loved the Hana rolls) and a variety of udon noodles. Our guests, definitely foodies, praised the dishes, and overall we had a lovely, memorable meal from a local small business. Warm glow all around.

Comment: So glad to have this excellent new place deliver up here to Inwood (just after Ger Shushi, also very good, moved further South, leaving us in a quality sushi desert...but no more). Fish is well-selected, especially fresh and nicely crafted, we also like the fine presentation that makes an evening dinner into something of a party.

Comment: Fresh ingredients is key when offering sushi and sashimi style dishes. I decided to order a little more than to satisfy my hunger because I wanted to try their menu. Fantastic! Tuna Don superb, Mixed Seafood Don, wonderful! The Sea Eel Don: generous with the Eel. California Rolls with real crab: No Joke, they had nice fat pieces of REAL CRAB!! I think weve all had our fair share of that red-dye fake stuff, not here, only the real deal! Thank you Tampopo!!

Comment: What a great spot in our neighborhood. It has all the things I love about Japanese food. I had the trio tartare over rice and tempura vegetables and it was delicious. The noodles looked to be made on site. I can’t wait to come back and have some sake next. Definitely, give this place a try.

Comment: My wife and I are so pleased at this excellent addition to the neighborhood. We have ordered various soups, sushi, edamame, and other items. Everything is exquisitely prepared with the freshest ingredients.The menu is varied. If you wish to spend less, there are entry-level preparations. If you wish to go high-end, there is much available as well.The restaurant is take out only, which usually meets our needs, but if you are seeking a sit-down Japanese restaurant, you will have to go down to their sister ramen shop down on Bennett and 181. One amazing thing about their service is that, when you order, they give you a fairly precise time that the food is ready, and when you arrive, it is indeed ready.Try it, and enjoy!!

Comment: Delicious udon. Just moved to the area and have tried the sushi for lunch (solid option, great value) and had the tan tan udon for dinner. It was packed with umami, the noodles are homemade and have the perfect amount of chewiness. The order was ready quick, staff are really friendly, and it was super fresh when I brought it home. Great spot in the area for takeout.

It may not be as cheap as other neighborhood sushi places, but its better and a treat for myself. I ordered vegetable tempura too - it was very good and crispy even after the takeout. I am happy that they are here now.

Comment: I had high hopes that this would be a delicious new addition to the area. And it was better than I expected!! The insane quality Wagyu beef role is just stupidly tasty. The donburi is a special treat because the quality of fish and rice is excellent! The noodles are so good, and the broth is the best kind of umami experience, like gold and rainbows and mushrooms. I also had the real California roll, which I love because the real crab is just incomparable to the cheap rolls you get at normal places.If you don’t care for exceptional rice and delicate fish, house made noodles, excellent broth and soy sauce that are not industrial grade jugs of serviceable stuff, this place may take a repeat to get used to the new perspective. It’s like listening to a song you thought was weird, but you gotta give it another go to appreciate what is being performed here.I’ll be going back for more regularly. Give it a try. This is a high level restaurant hiding in a cute location.

Comment: Tasty, high quality sushi, take-out only. We enjoyed our rolls especially the wagyu beef roll made with A5 grade Wagyu beef—umami explosion of flavor! The udon broth was subtle and layered and the handmade noodles possessed a delicious depth of flavor. This is not your “fast food” sushi joint—treat yourself!
