UPDATE – NEW OWNERS – Dont goIm really sad to be writing this review. Tanpopo was my favourite date night spot. We have returned to Tanpopo at least 5 times since the new ownership in the hope that it was just teething problems and things would get better. They havent. Overly thick and chewy sashimi, rude service, loosely rolled sushi, skimpy servings, cold dishes (that are meant to be hot) and a wait of over an hour between my main and my husbands main a just a couple of reasons why I wont be returning. I feel disappointed and will be looking for another regular Japanese haunt. For context, 9 months ago I wrote this review: I come to Tanpopo almost weekly with my husband for a sushi and sashimi feast. We are never disappointed and now cannot eat sushi elsewhere as it’s hard to match the freshness, delicacy, generosity, price and excellent service. I love the spider roll & aburi chirashi. Ramen is amazing and it’s BYO
Tanpopo’s ramen are some of the best in Sydney. Whilst their restaurant layout and kitchen set up is a bit rough-and-ready – the ambience isn’t quite first date impress material – we haven’t had a bad ramen yet.Whilst we’re locals we’ve tried ramen all over Sydney – had some good and some bad. However Tanpopo has remained consistently good with the pork always ample and super succulent, and the soup not too thick and not too thin, with every addition available as extras if you want more pork, seaweed etc. They don’t scrimp on extras. Lucky us not having to travel for tasty take-away. :)Service is fast even if the English imperfect.If you want fine dining don’t bother coming here. But for fast, flavoursome and friendly service Tanpopo won’t disappoint.
Tanpopo is our to to Japanese restaurant. The ramen is delicious, not overly thick. Miso eggplant is incredible. Agadashi tofu melts in the mouth. Tempura vegetables are light. Sashimi super fresh.
Sort of expected a bit more from Tanpopo but I guess in the end it was alright. The eggplant was nice, but Im pretty sure it can be better. I mean it wasnt enough to go around ordering it again. Ramen was salty and heavy, but a decent size and if had with something light, may balance out. The Tanpopo volcano roll didnt really appeal to me when it first came out, and taste wise kinda turned out the way it looked. It was just so heavy and creamy, didnt expect it to be to this degree, and I could barely taste any of the ingredients inside the sauce overpowered it all. Finally, as much as I was happy I satisfied my sashimi craving, I found some pieces to be a little chewy and they didnt melt away in my mouth like I had so desperately wanted them to!
We usual come here for a nice sushi dinner, never tried something else from the menu though. The sushi is nice and fresh, take a bit long to be served but surely worths. Recommended.
Super glad we decided to eat at Tanpopo, Neutral Bay is full of Japanese restaurants and this is up there. It’s nothing fancy but the food is fresh and tasty. I’m a sucker for a volcano roll because the sauce is super yummy. The soft shell crab is a must try as well as the ramen. I don’t usually like tempura however they have perfected it so it’s not oily but light and crunchy.
Disappointing. Cold, wet day so we got our hearts set on a great Ramen. What came out was semi-cold, flavourless and a real let down. Friendly service, but they may want to rethink the open kitchen. It so messy and looks terrible.
