February or March 2009 will see the opening of the third location of Byeong-gwan “Ben” Yu’s Tampopo, which already has locations at 21st and Chestnut and Seventh and Sansom. It’s slated for the corner of 44th and Spruce, right next to Brendan Hartranft and Leigh Maida’s forthcoming Local 44 Beer Bar. Yu says the menu will be “almost identical” to the other Tampopos, with the addition of ramen noodle soups and an extended selection of tofu- and vegetable-based dishes. Tampopo’s dual BYOB policy — meaning bring your own bottle and bring your own bowl (the latter saves you money on your order!) — will apply here, as well.
