Service was good, my friend had a sushi roll she liked. IMO the pho didn’t have flavor aside from fat. I have had pho many times other places, but this is the first time I got it and that’s all I tasted. This might be how it is supposed to taste, but it is not my preference. I miss pho king in waukesha.

The tonkatsu ramen had the worst chashu that I've ever been served, by a wide margin; if you can even put a slab of boiled pork in the same category as chashu. I think the picture speaks for itself. The rest of the tonkatsu was tolerable, despite a mildly stale aftertaste. Gyoza was very good. Good service.

My family loves getting takeout from Tanpopo. My kids could eat their ramen every day, and I love their sushi! We had a delivery get switched from them tonight (well, from the delivery service, not the restaurant) and Tanpopo went above and beyond to make sure we got our correct food with a little extra to make up for the hassle too. Really appreciate them.

We love the vegan ramen! Tanpopo is our go-to place. We have also had the spring rolls, gyoza and sushi and all were delicious! The service is always exceptional, too.

For non frequent ramen eaters, this will suffice. For seasoned ramen eaters, look else where.
Wife and I are frequent ramen eaters and we wanted to give this place a try since we were in the area. The pork belly buns were just pulled pork with no additional flavoring. The pork itself had a strong pork flavor which can be off putting for some that expect actual pork belly. The sushi was just okay, it had a nice crunch to it, but I would compare it to a step above bought sushi which isn't saying much.
Finally, the ramen was really subpar. The tonkotsu broth was really just the broth of the same pulled pork served with the pork "belly" buns. The broth was extremely "porky" and lacked any sort of umami flavor. The egg was not marinated at all an was just a plain egg. The pork pieces were just that, pieces of pork that were likely the same cut of the pulled pork. It was definitely not pork chashu one would expect although to their credit, the menu merely says pork.
The overall high review rating stems mainly from the excellent customer service.
