Tanpopo Ramen And Sake - Albany

This is our favorite little place! We just can't get enough! Everything is delicious, but my top picks are the miso ramen with extra pork and the pork belly buns. So tasty! And the lychee sake is simply amazing!

The Ramen was both flavorful and soothing. Perfect for a cold day. The quality of the ingredients were top notch and the portions were generous. Our server was kind and attentive. We only waited about 10 minutes to get a booth on a Friday night. Will definitely be coming back and taking more friends with us!

The curry was toooooo spicy. They tried to fix it and gave me a discount in the bill. Crab rangoon were so delicious.

Loved the food! Ramen was delicious. Sake was great. The only thing I'll say is the ambiance/decor is not that great. The restaurant is a little run down on the inside and the outside but if you can get past that, def come for the food.

My first visit here was fantastic! I started with the pork buns appetizer, and the pork was cooked to perfection—so tender that the fat just melted in my mouth. The flavors were incredible, and the bun had the perfect texture. For my main dish, I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with a marinated egg, which was excellent. The broth was both rich and delicate, the pork was seasoned wonderfully, and everything in the ramen was spot on. The portion sizes were generous too. The waitress was attentive and refilled my water without me even having to ask. The ambiance of the restaurant was a bit surprising; it was very small and quite loud. But with great food and excellent service, I’ll definitely come back the next time I’m in the area.
