I just returned from Japan and sushi had been totally ruined for me. I was worried that I'd never be able to eat ramen in the US again either, but Tampopo can still hold its own. Ramen is one of my favorite dishes and I try to try ramen all over Phoenix. So far, the spicy miso ramen here is still in my top three. I would have given them 5 stars 6 months ago, but I think their egg consistency had dropped a tad in recent past. The pork belly buns are also coming out a little stale lately. But I'm nitpicking. This place is a regular for me.
