Tampopo is a great movie. And yes, it's true that there is roughly no etiquette whatsoever in asian cultures (at least taiwanese/chinese). Do not be polite at a Chinese dinner table - shoveling noodles into your mouth at a grotesque pace is considered complimentary of the host/chef.

A good Taiwanese movie that involves food is "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman." Great story.
