Tanpopo Japanese - Feock United Kingdom

Neutral Bay has so many great Japanese restaurants; I had always thought of trying Tanpopo, but the recent negative reviews put me off. After finally trying Tanpopo, I regret waiting this long!<br/ <br/ We ordered the eel don and the plain udon special with five pieces of aburi $16.90 for udon and five pieces of aburi?!?!? That is an insane value!!! . The food came out very fast and it was flavourful and satisfying. The eel portion was generous and very well prepared: a great grilled taste and the classic eel sauce was salty and savoury without being too sweet. My plain udon was nice and soothing with an umami bonito broth, and the five pieces of aburi were simple but very delicious. <br/ <br/ Within the crowded Neutral Bay Japanese scene I think Tanpopo is a great option for a yummy and satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

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.<br/ <br/ 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. : <br/ <br/ Service is fast even if the English imperfect.<br/ <br/ 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.

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.
