TAKEZO in Köln

The taste is convincingly good! Authentic.

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

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.

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.

Very authentic ramen - absolute recommendation🥰

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!!!!

Great food, great service, highly recommended

It was a delicious meal with my boys. Very cozy

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

Really delicious, always happy!

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.

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

Great food, very nice service. 5 stars

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

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.

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

Super tasty, almost like in Japan

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

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

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.

Very tasty ramen and friendly staff.

Wow!! Like in Japan!! My favorite place to eat!

For me the best ramen in Cologne! It's best to make a reservation in the evening or bring your own time.

Very tasty food but a bit slow service

Service was fast and lovely, as was the food!

These are the best ramen I've ever eaten

Good customer service Food is nice

The food is very tasty and the employees are very nice

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

Whish I'd stumbled upon this earlier!

Nice restaurant with friendly service. We have been visiting the restaurant for many years and can only recommend Vegan white Tantan to everyone!

For me, absolutely the best ramen in Cologne! Very nice staff, the food comes quickly and is simply unbeatably good.

Very tasty, very good food and good service. 10/10 would recommend.

Good food, nice staff and you can also have your food packed if you can't quite manage it 👍

Good ramen at reasonable price.

My favorite is Karaage, and my husband always orders tako kara (fried octopus). The noodles are so yummy, all of the them. But our faves are the simple one. If you are not in the mood to eat noodles, the chasu don or chasu mayo don is my recommendation.

Best ramen in Cologne, we always come here, even the little things are good - Cha Mayo Don on the 1st place.

Very tasty and extremely plentiful Very friendly staff

The food tasted very good with a short wait. The service is very polite, so wonderful! Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Clean, neat. I think it is one of the top Japanese ramen restaurants in Germany. There is a children's menu and children's dishes are also provided, so it is great to go with young children. The lunch menu is good value for money and the special menu is delicious!

It has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We have authentic ramen, so please try it! ^_^

Overall very good experience. Food was delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant suffers somewhat from the bright light. The people serving are friendly and accommodating, although they are unfortunately a bit rare at the table.

It was very tasty, there were four of us. Everyone liked it.

nice service, fast service, delicious ramen soup..

Food is so delicious and the service is so great. Felt like in Japan

My favorite ramen shop and one of my top restaurants in general! Super authentic and simply delicious. In addition to the ramen, I can also recommend the Cha Mayo Don :)

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

Unfortunately, long waiting time. The ramen was worth the wait though. Delicious!

Delicious food with good price.

Best ramen in Cologne! And super nice staff :)

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere and incredibly creative menu XD! 👍

They best TanTanMen ramen in town. Very authentic and delicious!

For me, definitely top 3 ramen in Cologne!

Very good ramen, inexpensive and service outstanding! I can only recommend it :)

Super friendly staff and for me the best ramen in Cologne! Clear recommendation to anyone with an appetite for authentic Japanese cuisine.

Simply one of the best ramen I have ever eaten. The place gets crowded because it is very popular so, plan accordingly.

Great and friendly staff! Tool care of my allergies, and took it very serious ! The food were tasty!

I've been dining here regularly since seven years ago, but today’s experience was the worst. The new waiter had a bad attitude and did not respond to our inquiries. We felt discriminated against because she didn't do that to Japanese people.

The food was super tasty. Prices reasonable. Unfortunately, when paying, there was a bit of confusion about who had what. But otherwise everything was great.

Very good place, super good ramen and inexpensive dish

Just ordered a ramen via Uber (highest ratings, just like here). The highlight was 2 small breaded pieces of chicken. The rest hardly differed in all respects from instant noodles from the supermarket - and that for €16! So in my opinion, reviews on all possible platforms are no longer reliable - I mean, honestly, almost 4.5 stars here on Google is really a joke in my experience!

Good Beer, Good Food, Reasonable Prices

A little bit of Japan in North Rhine-Westphalia! Super!!

My very first Ramen! The Ramen was super delicious! I could eat daily there. Thank you Ramen Takezo for this first and great experience! Also the service was great and very friendly!!! Looking forward to my next visit. Arigato ありがとう

Probably the best Ramen in Köln. Legitimate ramen eggs (tamago), delicious soups. Fast service.

The store is almost empty but the property keeps people in the line because they don’t have enough people to clean the tables for tens of minutes. Well, maybe, maybe don’t open a restaurant since you guys clearly are not good at it?

Made us wait 1h to tell us we cant eat all together when they have the means to. Totally wasted our time, thanks for nothing.

The ramens are fantastic! I went on two consecutive days because the food was so good and reasonably priced. I dare to say that this place has served the best ramen that i've had so far. Would recommend.

The vegan ramen was delicious! Unfortunately nothing with tofu. You still got full :)

Delicious ramen, authentic and very filling :) The ambience could be made a little nicer, but it's enough to eat deliciously

The best ramen I've ever eaten! The yakisoba were also outstanding Really authentic Japanese food, I'll always come here from now on when I'm in Cologne

very tasty ramen, fast service 👍

We like coming here. The food is delicious, the price is right, the portion is sufficient.

Ramen: The soup was lukewarm !! There was no steam ! The taste was quite normal. Fried rice: The taste was quite normal. Waiter: Bad attitude. We usually leave a tip in cash when we leave the restaurant even if we pay by card, but the waiter here changed his attitude drastically when we paid by card at the register without a tip into the tip-box ! No matter how many times we said greetings and called out to him, he completely ignored us even though he could hear us. If he behaves like this at a ramen restaurant in Tokyo, rumors will spread soon and the shop will go out of business. We never recommend here at all.

Food was so amazing here, didn’t know I was in Japan???! A little on the salty side for the shoyu ramen but the ramen texture was really to die for. Just what I needed after so many weeks of European food.

My favorite ramen restaurant, I and my husband come here everytime we visit Cologne.

Small but nice ramen bar near the Heumarkt. We recommend. The broth was rich and the noodles were cooked to perfection. I also had an egg as an extra topping. It was still liquid on the inside and well cooked on the outside. There aren't many places, so I would recommend making a reservation.

Was there on a Saturday lunchtime. The location itself is run down and the worst ramen I've had. The prices are on par with the alternatives. Never again!

Best ramen outside of Japan period! Plus friendly staff. Reasonable pricing and kirin in iced glasses, on tap. What more could you want? By the way, it's also very tasty when delivered to your home, as the pasta isn't overcooked here. Arrive home still very firm to the bite.

Super nice restaurant, nice service staff. Prices affordable. Food arrived quickly and, above all, was served hot. The best thing for me was the music that fits the restaurant. I would describe it as Asian pop music. So luckily no German radio with usual radio pop music.

The food was super delicious. And you have a lot to choose from And they were the best and tastiest gyoza I've ever eaten

The Soup of the Shoyu Ramen is perfect. The staff is very kind. In busy times you have to wait sometimes but it’s completely worth it. It’s very close to the ramen you get in Japan. The price is quite high but in my opinion it’s better this way so I don’t get to go every day and thus this experience is always special. The Kirin Draft beer tastes also formidable because they cool the glasses, just like in Japan. ❤️

Ramen here is truly amazing. That was my first time when one bowl kept me full for the whole day.

Super tasty, very friendly staff

every time I get the menu and check out, the waiting time is very long, there is only one waitress who was very busy, but the other waiter seems to be chatting and laughing with colleagues in the kitchen during the break, so the Store is very busy for a waiter, I hope the store manager can schedule the waiter better，hopefully there will be no bullying

Delicious authentic Japanese ramen bar.. Would love to come back...

Good ramen, good ambience, delicious hot food. Gladly again. You have to wait a bit for the order but it's worth it.

the best ramen, fresh and the way it should be.

I've been here many times. This time I ordered tsukemen, and I was impressed because the taste was just like the one you get in Japan!

We wanted to eat something for 6 people. Since there was no table available for 6 people, we pushed 2 chairs to a large table for 4. This is probably not welcomed in this restaurant, because we were asked quite harshly why we sat down at one table and not spread out across two tables as the usher instructed. Well, when you go out to eat together, you don't want to be separated. And not in this tone at all. So we spontaneously decided not to order anything here and ended up in an extremely nice, tasty and friendly sushi restaurant a few doors away. Saved evening.

Unfortunately, I can hardly say anything positive about this restaurant, as we (6 women) only walked about 5 minutes. could stay in it. We wanted to sit at the table as a group of six and put a chair at the front of a table for four. The restaurant was almost empty. Then the owner came? and tell us in an unfriendly, almost threatening tone that only three people are allowed to sit at a table at a time. We got up and left. Luckily, there is a very nice sushi bar three doors down where you can sit at a table for six. So the evening came to a happy end.

Very tasty ramen bar. Went in without a reservation and got a spot straight away on Saturday evening.

The outside may seem inconspicuous, but inside the restaurant shines with its unique style. The menus are authentically designed and the taste of the ramen was absolutely impressive. The dishes were served quickly and at the same time, and the staff was extremely friendly!
