Tampopo Sushi & Nikkei Kitchen

Don’t be deceived by the photos, there is no ramen here. The Food though was great and properly seasoned…I would have given 4 stars if only they arrived on time. It took us 1 hour from ordering to get our plates. They did give us some complimentary drinks though.

This used to be the best ramen restaurant in Bremen but, like other restaurants, closed down during the pandemic. When it reopened I was looking forward to enjoying the same food and service. I was bitterly disappointed. The ramen chef has gone so there’s no ramen, in fact no Japanese food at all. It’s all Hispanic food but they kept the Tampopo name which is deceiving! Now it’s just formulaic, uninteresting dishes with lots of rice and salad. The service has changed (it’s got worse). If they had rebranded and changed their style I might have rated my experience higher but instead they tried to regain the pre-pandemic clientele by claiming the restaurant is still a ramen restaurant which it isn’t. A very poor experience and a very expensive one! If you like Hispanic food then do yourself a favour and go into the city centre and enjoy the same food for half the price. But don’t come here expecting Japanese food. That’s long off the menu here.

Edit (replying to owner’s reply to me): hi, owner. Actually, I DID talk to you - well, not you, but whoever was there. They just told us all the foods we came for were no longer served there anymore. And how were you going to help me exactly if I couldn’t get what I wanted?
Firstly, I haven’t been to your restaurant in a loooooooong time (as you put it) because there was something called a global pandemic which shut your restaurant (or, more correctly, the restaurant you took over) for almost two years. When I did discover it was reopened there was no more ramen and the Japanese dishes were gone or fused in with Latino cooking. Just to let you know (in case you didn’t) that Tampopo is the name of a famous Japanese movie about, yes, you guessed it - RAMEN! You chose to keep the name even though you don’t serve ramen anymore. This is misleading. If you advertised yourself as a pizza restaurant or a hamburger grill then didn’t serve those foods wouldn’t that also be misleading? Why, then, didn’t you change the name and rebrand as the type of food you actually serve.
I think the previous owner quit not because of the reason you gave me but because of commercial reasons - much like a lot of other restaurants. You just took over the place and kept the name to keep the reviews and the reputation it had before you took it over. You only serve Beck’s and some over-priced cocktails which are disappointing compared to what the previous owner provided. Your sushis are just rice rolls with vegetables in them. Nothing spectacular. Basically, the part of the food you are trying to serve as your selling point - Japanese food - is your weak point. I don’t need to reach out to you or talk to you. I just need to eat at a place that serves what they say they serve. Tampopo used to be a ramen restaurant but no more. But what you sell isn’t even Japanese. That’s why you get one star and a negative review.

Why would I eat here if there's no ramen anymore. Reserved a table in advance for a good bowl of ramen, since this place is still the first to show up when you Google ramen, only to be surprised that it's been taken off the menu. Will never come back :)

Our family all love these South American mix with Asian dishes! Very tasty! The restaurant service is also very friendly. It is a restaurant that will make you want to visit again. :-)

5 stars for absolutely fantastic service. Customer focused and flexible. The food is also quite tasty. Now for the summer months there are several extra seats outside.

The ramen was simply excellent. I have been to takumi and takezo in Düsseldorf. Tampopo is just as good, if not better. Wonderful cloudy savoury soup base, great noodle consistency and I love the extra touch of pickled Ginger. I will be back!

The food is really good and worth five stars. However, the ambience is not too comfortable, loud music. Also, for some reason they were really slow to serve the food.
