Tampopo — Restaurant in Philadelphia

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...

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...

Hot, fresh, flavorful Korean food with quality ingredients. Having this place in the neighborhood is a home run. If you’re ordering for the first time, I recommend the spicy chicken bowl, which is cooked to umami perfection: hot, salty, smoky, with a touch of sweetness. Same goes for the stir-fried noodles, which are hand-pulled, well-seasoned, and served with fresh vegetables (which were also cooked to perfection; wish they were a little spicier though). I should add these are the best spring rolls I’ve ever eaten. Dumplings...
