TAKEZO in Köln

Finest Ramen!! I recommend the black tantanmen 👌

Delicious food and great service!

The Takezo in Cologne is an offshoot of the original from Düsseldorf. The shop is very centrally located, just three minutes' walk from Heumarkt, and is easily accessible by public transport. I don't recommend the car because the parking situation here isn't great. The menu is very extensive and there are also vegan dishes if someone wants to avoid meat/animal products. The dishes are very tasty and fill you up - the price is debatable, but it is average for authentic East Asian cuisine. When we visited, the air conditioning was a bit overzealous, even though it was already quite cool outside. Overall, one could actually only complain at a very high level, and that's not the point. 😊

In my opinion the best ramen in Cologne! Highly recommended.

Very tasty food; the atmosphere could be more comfortable

Very tasty ramen and lovely service. Thanks!

As always, very tasty! Highly recommended!

So far every time has been just great. Very, very tasty, the ramen portions are large and all the broths are great in their own way

Very nice Japanese restaurant. The service is super friendly and accommodating. The food is also very tasty. Highly recommended

Very tasty and authentic ramen?

It's a bit out of the way and there's an "exotic cinema" nearby, which spoils it a bit at first glance, but once you take a look you'll want to sit down and try one of the delicious dishes! The service was very nice and polite and did a great job! Highly recommended!!

Unfortunately, the taste is still not consistent. When it's good, it's good, but this time the garlic flavor was too strong and the noodles were too soft.

I had soy sauce ramen. It was delicious

We're not from Cologne, but since the shop had good reviews and we really wanted to eat ramen, we came here and what can I say, it was really, really tasty. Nice service, delicious food and value for money is also great. Highly recommend eating here.

The tsukemen was very delicious! The staff's service was also great!

Très bon restaurant de Ramen à Cologne. Il y avait du choix. Nous avons pris un Torikara Ramen , c’est un Ramen avec du poulet Karaage. Nous avons ajouté un Tamago en plus. Le bouillon était très bon. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié.

I had plenty of ramens in my life. I’m a big fan of ramen. I can easily easily say they are on TOP5 best ramen I ever tried. Amazing flavours. I loved it. Good job guys. I also liked they speak japonese 🙈, I can’t speak but I love their culture hehe.

Das beste Ramen Restaurant in Köln! Schmeckt wie in Japan. It tasted just like when I was in Japan. It was so delicious!

The ramem was very very tasty. I can also highly recommend the gyozas. The food came super quickly. Not a long wait.

Food is great! Service great. Very pleasant restaurant!

Very tasty ramen. The food is very high quality and well prepared. Attentive, professional and friendly service. Price-performance is more than fair. Absolutely recommended!

Best ramen in Cologne. Very friendly staff and classic ramen shop atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Everything is cool again. Totally delicious ramen. Nice, attentive conditions and good food in a short time.

Today we went to the Cologne location of our favorite restaurant. As expected, the food was amazing and there was even a larger vegan selection than in Düsseldorf. Unfortunately, only the ambience can still be improved

It was very nice, cozy, cheap, cool vibe, good service. I'm very satisfied

Delicious food, fair prices and a nice ambience. Only the toilet is a bit too high and that is unusual and also a bit uncomfortable.

A really great restaurant. Very tasty and highly recommended. But be careful, the toilet bowl is a bit high in the men's room. This is a bit uncomfortable and unusual. I recommend bringing a stool for your feet.

Pleasant service, very tasty food, recommendation!

Very tasty food and friendly service

Inconspicuous restaurant, but super tasty and authentic dishes. Also lots of Japanese drinks. Friendly service and reasonable prices for the location. Clear recommendation!

I was here for the first time today, it was delicious and the service was great. Gladly again

It was very tasty and the portions are a good size The store was recommended to me by Japanese people from Düsseldorf

I've been here a few times and it always tastes great! 👌🥰 The Torikara Ramen is definitely recommended!

Five different meals and all delicious. Quick table allocation and very friendly service.

Very good authentic ramen👌🏼recommend! Best ramen in Köln😍

Food and service as always top, I like to go here, it's in the inner circle of our Cologne Ramen/JP restsurants

Super tasty! Never had such good ramen.

Finally, a proper ramen bar in Cologne, that was a very long wait. The soup is great, pork belly is so tender and juicy. The boiled egg is perfectly half-boiled. The portion is rather big for the small portion. Very friendly service, too. Season with some vinegar to bring the flavours to live. Enjoy your ramen! Excellent starters, too.

Super tasty ramen. The ambience is good and the service is very friendly and accommodating.

Incredibly good ramen. Karaage and gyoza were also delicious. Service was very friendly. The ambience could still be worked on a bit. The front part looks more like a canteen.

The food here is always devoured quickly! DELICIOUS! Very friendly team. You feel very comfortable here :)

I am a fan of ramen and very picky when it comes to eating it. I have lived in Japan for a year and this is without a doubt the best ramen I have eaten in Europe, including restaurants in several countries. If you like ramen I highly recommend it!

the best ramen of my life. this is a 100% authentic Japanese ramen restaurante, it has so many good options on the menu that it’s hard to choose. also i loved that in the bathroom there was hand cream, cotton pads, ear pads and Listerine with one-use cups. me and my boyfriend usually look for the best ramen restaurants in our trips and i’m so glad we found this one from the first try, if you’re looking for authentic japanese cuisine and drinks then this is the right place. i don’t think that there’s something else better in Köln, or in whole Germany…. but i wish we had a ramen restaurante like this in Barcelona

Here you can find the tastiest ramen in Cologne. That's why we've been here several times. I think the empty plate speaks for itself. 😋🙏🏼 The Kotteri Shoyu Ramen is highly recommended. 😍🤤 The ambience fits well with a snack bar and the service is very attentive and friendly. ☺️

Delicious food and friendly service staff!

Authentic, cozy and very, very tasty

The offer with the beer and the 2 different starters was a very good choice. Frame good too. There are also interesting drinks.

The food was great 😋 The service was also great. We are very satisfied and will definitely come back.

The lunch menu offering miso ramen with chashu mayodon is unbeatable

As always, great and friendly service.

Good and tasty esysen, great and fast service, always happy 😋

The best Japanese food in all of Cologne. I can't decide between my favorite dishes!

Absolutely amazing frame bar. If anything could be improved it would just be the ambience

The miso ramen was great! A nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Very nice, the vegan miso ramen was very tasty. :)

Very good vegan misu ramen. Happy to come back ☺️

Simply delicious. Best ramen in town!

Best ramen in town. Far better then some hyped places like Takumi or Daikan (IMHO) They also offer some delicious sides like butaniku- or chachu-don. Yes the place doesn't look as pretty as Daikan, not even by a long shot, but if it's just the food you're after, this is the place to go.

I can only recommend! Really good service and food is amazing and authentic!!

While looking for a good ramen bar in Cologne, I finally found it. Been there for the second time and wasn't disappointed. Starting with the small starters: the kimchi tastes fantastic, you can't go wrong with the gyoza and the edamame - they taste good. The Chige Ramen blew my socks off, I recommend getting Chashu and Ni Tamago for 2.50. The staff are very friendly and everyone deserves high praise.

Delicious Ramen and Sake :)! Great service :)!

Everything great! Food was delicious and service was very nice!

Authentic and delicious ramen. However, I ordered the vegan TamTam Ramen and then found minced meat in it. Unfortunately that's not possible :( I pointed this out to the waitress. There were a few cookies as compensation, but personally I would have found it fairer if I hadn't had to pay for my dish.

We are regular guests because we are very impressed by the quality of the ramen (the noodles are particularly noteworthy) and gyoza here. We are always treated kindly and have never been disappointed.

Very tasty and authentic ramen.

Super delicious food! Gladly again

The most authentic ramen in Cologne so far, very tasty!

Super good food,so taste yammy yammy yammy🥳🥳🥳🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋😋

Large menu with good enough food. Not the same as what you would expect in Japan of course.

In my opinion, this is by far the best ramen in all of Cologne. In contrast to the many other pseudo-Japanese restaurants in Cologne, you can actually get authentic Japanese food here. Among other things, thanks to some interesting side order options and various Japanese drinks. Visually, the shop may not appeal to everyone, but you can still enjoy your food there in peace and quiet, both alone and with friends.

Very pleasant atmosphere, clean bathrooms and great food. Everything is also very affordable

Yammy yammy yammy 🥳🥳🤤 really enjoying my food

Super delicious food no matter what time of the week you go. Quality is always best. The atmosphere is cozy and as an anime fan it's great to hear appropriate opening music. Highly recommended

Delicious miso ramen for a very, very good price! I can only recommend it

The taste is convincingly good! Authentic.

Been here several times and enjoy coming back every time. White Tantan knows how to inspire :)

Food is super tasty, service is friendly and fast.

Very authentic ramen - absolute recommendation🥰

The BEST authentic Japanese ramen! If I could, I would eat here every day. I've eaten here so many times that I can honestly say that every ramen and other dishes are excellent. I can wholeheartedly recommend the store.

Soups are delicious and the noodles are special. They have a bite and taste the best of all the ramen bars in Cologne.

It was a tip and should be the best ramen in Cologne. The two of us tested the small restaurant or rather fast food joint. It was relatively full at lunchtime and we still managed to get a table. I didn't find it comfortable in terms of the interior; it looked more like a kind of fast food restaurant. The audience varies from young to older, although the proportion of hipsters is unfortunately high. Remember, hipsters are not necessarily a guarantee of tasteful cuisine. I found the map relatively confusing, despite the many photos. If you're looking for vegetarian dishes, you'll find what you're looking for, but there's not much. I chose a bowl of rice with thin pork and pointed cabbage because I'm not a fan of pork belly. When you forgo it, the choice became narrow. A dish was on the menu but could not be ordered. Then I have to say, nothing against dogs, but at table height or even if it's in a bag on a chair, I kind of have a problem with that in the restaurant. The food was reserved relatively quickly, the service was friendly and attentive. Although my dish was generous in terms of price-performance ratio, it somehow only consisted of rice, pointed cabbage and a few strips of meat that were, so to speak, wafer-thin. I have to say the smell didn't make me want to eat. The food was too expensive for rice, lots of pointed cabbage and a few strips of meat. It tasted mediocre, as if I were pouring bland soy sauce on rice. My girlfriend had ramen and it didn't taste great either. I can't understand these good reviews. But maybe everyone's taste is different. I wouldn't recommend it.

Simple restaurant, very tasty soups and nice service:) highly recommended!!!!

Super delicious food. Very good portion size and great prices. The staff is very friendly and you just feel very comfortable.

Great food, great service, highly recommended

It was a delicious meal with my boys. Very cozy

I was super excited. My shoyu ramen was super tasty, the staff was very friendly and everything happened super quickly. I went there spontaneously with a friend because we were craving ramen and we weren't disappointed.

Really delicious, always happy!

Great food, very nice service. 5 stars

It was tasty, inexpensive and very friendly at takezo. I was missing a little more topping selection for the vegan ramen.

The food is really delicious even if the prices are a bit higher. However, a visit is definitely worth it. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. A small disadvantage is that the clothes smell like food after the visit. If that doesn't bother you, you can definitely have an enjoyable and filling time here.

Currently my favorite place in Köln. The Ramen are just perfect and also the side dishes or dishes with rice are authentic and delicious.

Nice place with a quick and efficient Service. Waiters are Kind and ramen is delicious :)

In my opinion, the best and authentic ramen in Cologne right now!

Best ramen restaurant for me in Cologne. Clear recommendation!

Delicious, large portions. People stand in line waiting for tables. I definitely recommend it to those who are tired of German braurai

A bit of a wait but then quick and very tasty!

Best ramen shop in Cologne without question, very authentic and even with vegan broth! The wait is definitely worth it.

Super tasty, almost like in Japan

Food teste good, clean and fast service. Will come back again!

Simple, practical setup. The food was very tasty. Service nice and attentive. Parking is quite difficult. However, it worked on Sundays.
