In this humorous paean to the joys of food, a pair of truck drivers happen onto a decrepit roadside shop selling ramen noodles. The widowed owner, Tampopo, begs them to help her turn her establishment into a paragon of the "art of noodle-soup making". Interspersed are satirical vignettes about the importance of food to different aspects of human life.

"Throughout the film is a love a food; how that runs in both conventional and unconventional ways of displaying that appreciation. At the end of this movie I just want to eat some ramen at a nice hole in the wall restaurant. "
Kweku Ananse Haki
"A string of loosely connected vignettes about food (ranging from comedic to perverse) surround the main story of love for a shop, ramen, and the girl running it. It came out in 1985 but feels oddly fresh."

"This was delightful. Watch with your favorite self-serious foodie friend. "
