Located in Saint Paul’s historic Lowertown is a surprisingly authentic Japanese noodle shop. I loved the hot and cold noodle dishes. I was less happy with the fried mackerel, but I knew that when I ordered it. Stick to the noodle dishes, and you will be delighted. The sesame flan is to die for.
The decor is austere and hip. Tanpopo doesn’t take reservations, so be prepared to wait in line. At night, there is plenty of free street parking.
P.S. If you have a free evening, checkout the movie by the same name.
