From Citysearch

If you are feeling: a) hungry, b) impatient and/or c) broke, this ramen house in the heart of Japantown is what you're looking for. Despite the bad lighting, vinyl furniture and foreboding health code scores, Tanpopo is packed most nights with middle-aged Japanese men and the young hakujin who've discovered it. Walk in and the one waitress--a sort of Japanese version of ''Flo''--will tell you from across the room where to sit (she's also the Maitre'd), but if you can, grab a seat at the bar, if you don't mind watching insane Japanese game shows. You'll find a broad range of Japanese foods (sushi, terrayaki, etc) but do like the locals and ignore those; everyone's here for the ramen, which comes in bowls big enough to dunk your whole head into, or share with a friend, whichever you prefer. The collegiate ration is an art form here, coming in variations from miso to kyushu, with chunks of chashu pork, red ginger, bamboo shoots and even sauteed vegetables, but don't worry: this stuff is as completely devoid of nutritional value as ever.
