Takumi Leipzig Chicken & Vegan in Leipzig

Food is great here, highly recommended! You might need to wait a bit to get a table.

Clear recommendation! The food was very tasty. The waiting time was completely okay even though the restaurant was busy. The service employee was very helpful and friendly - I had no idea what was on the menu but the employee explained everything to me very well and in the end I had a delicious meal in front of me 😋

Diverse selection and very tasty ramen! The ambience fits very well and is lovingly furnished. Top!

The shop is extremely busy, probably simply because there is a lot of vegan ramen here. But here's a rule from Japan that can apparently now be applied to Europe: Good ramen shops never have more than a handful of ramen on the menu. In any case, the ramen is just not good. Example Yuzu Ramen, carelessly put together and not coordinated with each other, the thin broth tasted as if Knorr chicken broth had been "refined" with ready-made lemon seasoning. The noodles had not taken on the bland taste at all. In addition to a few carelessly arranged pieces of vegetables, there was also an unappetizing, thick piece of chicken fat floating in the bowl; there wasn't much of meat to be seen. We ordered takoyaki that came with a sauce that tasted suspiciously like curry ketchup(!). When it comes to the negative reviews, the store is sometimes very sensitive to criticism, but that doesn't surprise me when it comes to the kitchen. But at least the service on site was nice and the atmosphere was nice.

Super delicious ramen shop! You definitely have to go, it's absolutely worth it😍 Accordingly, the ramen also has high prices. Only the service wasn't great.

Super tasty authentic ramen 🍜 clear recommendation!!!

It was very tasty, would be happy again

Bad food, bad service - no; no service, dirty tables, old dirty menus - what a disgusting place to eat. Avoid - rather go hungry…

By far the best ramen in Leipzig so far. The limited dishes are highly recommended. Very tasty strong broth. Unfortunately, the stools are a bit uncomfortable in the long run, but otherwise the furnishings are very harmonious and inviting. I come here again and again and have never been disappointed

Service was nice, location was also pleasant. Unfortunately, I found the broth (Miso Ramen) to be quite bland. There can be more boom in there. The toppings are also rather atypical and a bit bland for ramen. The waiter's pants were really cool though.

Likely one of the best Ramen places you will find in Leipzig. Let's start with the best: Their Karaage is amazing. It came out hot, larger cuts, solid crisp, fatty meat, juicy inside... it's a great dish! The Ramen itself had a very good broth and great noodles. We ordered Creamy White TanTan Men and Spicy Miso. I wonder if the recipe was adjusted for the area, as a lot of the garnish they added distracted from the actual Ramen experience, which was a shame. It started to overwhelm the dish, which some people may actually enjoy more than the traditional experience. The broth was solid but could have used more depth (it was lighter than my experience in Japan and LA). We had some bad luck with the service, where the waiter responsible for us kept forgetting about us even after approaching them. That was frustrating. It's definitely a bit on the pricier end (even compared to LA where I'm from). Usually I would have been harsher with the star rating, but I really appreciate them spreading the love for Ramen in Leipzig, so go check it out.

I have rarely waited voluntarily for food - after 20 minutes it was brought to the table, the place was full... It was phenomenally tasty, the portion was more than large, fresh, extremely tasty and the price was right. Gladly again!!

The service is extremely poor where cleaning, serving, ordering and paying are managed by one waiter. I spent 20 mins waiting for a seat where there's clearly an available table and more also waiting for more than 20 mins just to pay my bill. I am not complaining about the waiter, but how Takumi run a restaurant, if you just hire one more employee how much turn table you can generate is not that hard to calculate, tremendous amount of disappointed customers only make you survive when there's no competition. The service and operation process of Takumi in Germany is extremely poor, it only gets popular because people don't have a better option. The abnormal waiting queue is very normal for Takumi and as they would keep the table open and not serve anyone but Takumi Leipzig is a new low by keeping me waiting for crazy long just to pay the bill.

I really liked the large vegan selection! The taste was solid, I would have liked a little more spice. The service was really not good. I always have a lot of sympathy for the service staff but I was really very annoyed. At first we had to wait a very long time (Sunday 6:30 p.m.), which the staff can't do anything about, but later we realized why there were always such long waiting times: We had to wait a long time at the table to get tickets and be able to order. The food was brought relatively quickly (30 minutes). An appetizer wasn't included in the order but at least we didn't have to pay for it. Unfortunately, cutlery was only available upon request and we had to ask for napkins twice. When we were finished we had to wait a long time to be able to pay while many people were waiting for a table. That was a real shame.

So by far the best frame shop in Leipzig. I can definitely recommend it to everyone.

If you want to enjoy real ramen, this is the right place! Taste and ingredients are of the highest quality. We also recommend the side dishes, which are absolutely convincing. After I've been there a few times now, I unfortunately have to give a massive deduction for the service. At times you feel like you've been turned off and forgotten. It can take over 10 minutes just for an order to be taken. The store is very busy, no question. But the organization simply doesn't work.

Spontaneously delicious Asian food, very nice service with detailed advice and recommendations.

An all-round delicious experience! The gyoza are delicious, but the ramen really stands out. An absolute must for ramen lovers! 🍜👌 Attention ‼️ The store can be very busy on weekends. But the wait is worth it. Best frame shop in Leipzig.

Highly recommended restaurant near the train station The service employee Minh explained various dishes to us and was always attentive. The food was great. We had different ramen, which had a very good seasoning. The noodles weren't overcooked either, which is what you often get. Definitely worth a visit and a fair price-performance ratio because the portions are filling. Guests should definitely try the gyozas

Minh is very hospitable and the food is great! Absolute recommendation!

Service is underground. It's hard to believe that it's possible to forget your guests in such a small room. The table is not wiped down, no card is brought. The waiter sits down next to you for a small order and is totally unfriendly and unprofessional. We had to wait three quarters of an hour to order while four groups that came after us were already served and finished their food.

Safe and stable artisan ramen. There are ramen restaurants all over Germany where you can enjoy consistent quality and a wide variety of ramen. When it comes to greed, it's the type of noodles, pork bone ramen, etc. It seems like the possibilities are still expanding...! If I was going to try a middle-class ramen shop, I would choose Takumi Ramen.

I have no idea how the main dishes taste because we went for the entries. The entries were fantastic! We had most of the entries of the fist side of the menu and one vegetarian spring roll. I actually liked the spring roll most. But all very tasty. I can recommend going to Takumi.

very tasty and super good service❤️ The waiter who served us was extremely friendly - we'll be back

Waiting a little too long but it was worth it

I can recommend it to everyone. Really delicious ramen that you could also get in Japan.

The food is good. But the Asian waiter's behavior... Do you really think he's Brad Pitt? Your relaxed attitude is simply disrespectful. You need therapy...

I can't fully understand the many positive reviews. The store was extremely busy. We were there at lunchtime. We waited a long time for the food and were unfortunately disappointed. The ramen is very simple and clear in quantity and consists mainly of noodles and a few pieces of vegetables… service very friendly!

Food was delicious, service friendly and fast, location cozy with Asian influences. A real "insider tip", which is no longer one. Arriving early saves you from having to wait long times 😂

To be honest, I was surprised by the large number of visitors and the high rating. I thought it would be something divinely delicious, but it turned out to be just an ordinary noodle soup. Absolutely nothing special and quite expensive for such a dish. I can cook much more interesting things at home.

We had to wait in line outside for a while, but it was worth it. Really delicious ramen with good noodles, super tasty soup and fresh ingredients. Crispy Chicken as a starter...highly recommended. Price performance is simply top. It wasn't the last time we were there.

Fast service and the long wait (45 minutes) for the delicious food was totally worth it. Very busy small location (space for around 34 guests indoors), so please allow for a waiting time. There is a star deduction for the service. After ordering drinks and food, the behavior of the waiter who served us made it seem as if we were on the farewell track. 😅 We wanted to order drinks, but this was ignored until the plates were cleared, despite letting us know and waving at us every now and then.

This restaurant was just a few minutes walk from our hotel. We were very lucky to get a table for three straight away. The ramen tasted fantastic. We particularly liked the variety of vegetarian dishes. We will definitely come back again.

Ramen in a spartan atmosphere, just like in Japan, but👍

I went there for the first time today and had the Shoyu Ramen with Crispy Chicken. It was incredibly delicious! The service was very friendly and the portion was more than sufficient. I rolled out happy after eating. :D

Best ramen restaurant in Leipzig. The food always tastes amazing, simply incredible. Only the waiters could sometimes show a little more motivation, but that's complaining at a high level.

Unfortunately, our waiter didn't know if I could take away food after my meal. He couldn't answer me when I asked what my vegan broth was. Unfortunately, the ramen was absolutely unspectacular, even though I already had the most expensive and “special” vegan ramen for a proud price of just under 17 euros. Unfortunately there's really too much hype.

I have had ramen every where from the South Pole to Japan. This place serves one of the best ramen I have had on this planet. Whoever does there noodles also deserves this compliment. Broth is complex but not overwhelming in any area. Well balanced flavors. Crispy chicken in the ramen was extremely flavorful with great crunch to the bite. Super affordable too.

Always delicious! The frames are very tasty and the sides are also great. Especially the gyoza 🥟 and edamame!

Unfortunately the 2 most popular ramen at 6:30 p.m. are already out. That's why I couldn't try again. The other ramen are very similar in taste. I still really enjoy being here. Young, very friendly and professional staff. Probably no longer an insider tip.

Super super delicious food! ❤️❤️ The service was extremely friendly

Best frames I've ever eaten... very friendly staff

Large selection, delicious food.

A really nice, small place in the middle of Leipzig where you can enjoy very tasty ramen (also vegan) or a few alternative dishes (but that's not the point here) in a convivial atmosphere. The service is always friendly and as quick as possible in a place that is always busy. If you would like to try one of the special ramens that are offered in limited quantities every day, you should be quick. They are in great demand.

Love their Ramen & triple fried chicken.

We went to Takumi on a Friday evening and were lucky to get a table after about 20 minutes of waiting. The restaurant was very busy and a bit noisy, but the atmosphere was still pleasant. The food was really good. The kimchi was nice and spicy and fermented, the croquettes were crispy and the vegan ramen was very flavorful and filling. The portions were large and the prices were fair. The service was friendly, but it took a while before we were served. This was probably because the restaurant was so busy. A reservation is not possible.

Small but nice. A great selection of dishes. Fresh ramen of the day. Some ramen are only available with 30 servings per day. Since I was late, the ramen mentioned above was no longer available. So I got advice on the miso ramen. It was just delicious! Afterwards there was black sesame ice cream, which I can also highly recommend. A word about the team and service is simply great. There may be a bit of a wait at peak times but it's worth it.

Great service😁and tastes very tasty😋

We wanted to eat ramen during our short visit to Leipzig. This restaurant was just a few minutes walk from our hotel. We were also very lucky to get a table for two straight away. We had a nice table by the window. The selection of appetizers and ramen was large. The food came quickly and tasted really fantastic. It was also very plentiful. Many thanks to the nice service. We will definitely come back again.

I think it's very overpriced for what comes in the bowl. The main ingredients were broth and noodles. There was also a leaf of pak choi, 2 mini pieces of meat and a touch of sprouts. The taste was ok or bland. It's not worth 16 euros for me.

Ramen is very tasty. The service was new and a little unsure, but friendly. The prices are reasonable.

For me the best ramen in Leipzig! 😍 There aren't too many seats, so you sometimes have to wait a while until a table becomes available, but it usually takes less than 15 minutes. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I've been there several times and both the chicken ramen and the vegan ramen are absolutely delicious and large portions that fill you up. 😊

Very tasty ramen in an authentic atmosphere. Cozy, delicious, casual and tastes excellent. Always my pleasure!

The owner's service was bad. Free drinking tap water in German I asked for it, Taking water that is sold for a fee at will I was ripped off by saying I couldn't cancel. Water cost over 5 euros. The food was delicious, but It was a price that made no sense and was a waste of money. Donburi is definitely not recommended.

Incredibly delicious... no wonder the place is full just after 5 👍👍💯

Die Ramen sind eher durchschnittlich, die für den Preis gebotene Qualität stimmt leider nicht.

Liebes Takumi-Team, ich möchte meine Begeisterung für euer Restaurant ausdrücken. Das Essen war nicht nur unglaublich lecker, sondern auch äußerst authentisch. Die Atmosphäre vermittelt keinesfalls den Eindruck eines gewöhnlichen Bistros, sondern transportiert das Gefühl einer echten kulinarischen Reise. Vielen Dank für dieses unvergessliche Erlebnis!

Das "Takumi" besuchte ich heute das 1.Mal und fand es bedauerlich, dass die vegane Ramensuppe (für meinen Geschmack) inhaltlich und geschmacklich recht schmal ausfiel - mit einfachen Mehr-Zugaben, hätte hier ein Geschmackserlebnis serviert werden können. Auch beide Vorspeisen waren nach meinem optischen Erleben eher banal in der Ausführung - ohne jede Deko und beide ausschließlich mit Majo - statt die Chance zu ergleifen, die wundervolle Geschmacksvielfalt der asiatischen Soucen zu präsentieren. Nachwürzmöglichkeit wurden keine auf den Tischen angeboten und das Fehlen jeglicher Tischdeko ergeben eher ein puristisches Bistro-Feeling. Wenn man asiatische Speisen auf Bistro-Art wünscht, dann ist (nach 1. Erfahrung!) das "Takumi" zu erwähnen. Vielleicht will ich mich ja irgendwann noch auf eine 2. Erfahrung einlassen...?

Die japanische Küche ist so vielfältig und qualitätvoll - leider findet man im Takumi davon nur einen Abglanz. Die bestellte Ramensuppe war mit nur wenigen Zutaten recht einfallslos gestaltet, die Nudeln noch sehr bissfest. Die Bedienung war sehr nett, stand jedoch fachlich nicht gut in der Materie. Bei den kleinen Holzhockern, auf denen man sitzt, muss man aufpassen dass man hinten nicht runterfällt. Fazit: wenn man das Takumi als Bistro begreift statt als Restaurant, geht es, obwohl dann die Preise etwas hoch sind. Es gibt in Leipzig mehrere Möglichkeiten, stilvoller, mit einem besseren Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und in gemütlicherer Atmosphäre japanisch zu essen.

Dieses Ramen Restaurant wurde mir von mehreren Seiten als das Ramen Restaurant in Leipzig empfohlen. Ich hatte bis jetzt leider noch keine richtig gute Ramen hier und auch im Takumi konnten meine Erwartungen nicht erfüllt werden. Ich hatte die Mala Paitan, die Brühe war leider wenig komplex und hatte fast keine Tiefe im Geschmack. Das Topping mit dem Crispy Chicken fand war saftig und lecker. Meine Freundin hatte Tan Tan Men, die fand ich leider noch enttäuschender und zwar auch ganzen Linie. Das Personal war nett, das Ambiente fand ich auch gut.

Wir haben ohne Reservierung ein Tisch für 2 Personen bekommen, aber bestimmt weil wir direkt 17 Uhr gekommen sind. Jedoch sollte man im Vorfall reservieren, da sich doch schon eine Schlange gebildet hat. Was mich auch nicht wundert, denn die Ramen sind unglaublich lecker! 😋 Die Kellner:innen sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam trotz des Stresses. Es ist ein etwas kleineres Restaurant, weshalb man sich vielleicht eingeengt fühlen könnte. Dennoch würde ich jedem Ramen-Liebhaber dieses Restaurant empfehlen! 🍜

Es war soooo Lecker und alle so freundlich

Bin sehr zufrieden, Ramen super lecker, vorallem das Limitierte Special, die Vorspeisen und auch die Zusatzspeisen (Side dishes) fand ich lecker. Ich probiere mich gerne durch die Karte durch. Schicke kleine Bänke zu den Tischen zum sitzen echt gut, auf Innenraum Design wird Wert gelegt, viele Pflanzen, echt gemütlich. In Bahnhofs Nähe.

My personal go-to for ramen, just perfect!

Sehr nettes Personal. Essen überzeugt. Die karte jst zwar ein bisschen klein aber dafür beherrschen sie das Handwerk sehr gut. Nur zu empfehlen.

Ich freue mich 80er, wenn ich in einer Stadt Ramen essen kann. So großartig im Geschmack, sehr schön angerichtet, tolles Geschirr. Ich komme wieder, hat mir sehr gut gefallen! 🥰

Super leckere Ramen und freundlicher Service. Das Shoyu Ramen war perfekt nach einem regnerischen und kalten Tag. Toll ist auch, dass die Bonuskarte in allen Takumi Filialen gültig ist, bspw. auch in D‘dorf.

Keine Wartezeit, super lecker, Nudeln on Point und sehr freundliche Bedienung! Gern wieder :)

Die Ramen waren wirklich super frisch und lecker. Das Lokal ist sehr ansprechend, nur sitzt man leider viel zu eng beieinander.

Gerne wieder. Sauber und freundlich. Waren bei einem neuen Besuch wieder geflasht.

Super schönes kleines Lokal. Sehr gut frequentiert. Wir hatten Glück einen Tisch zu bekommen. Das Essen war She sehr lecker. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

As an Asian person in Leipzig, it’s hard to find restaurants that are acceptable. This is the absolute best ramen in Leipzig, and one of the best Asian restaurants! Super friendly and great service. The ramen broth is rich, flavorful and authentic and so are the ingredients and dishes. The employees are enthusiastic, friendly, eager to serve and they are experts on the food! The ambiance is also nice and cozy. It’s rare to see an Asian restaurant in Leipzig this passionate and engaged, what a breath of fresh air! It will definitely be one of my regular restaurants in Leipzig (and I have high standards so this is a very short list!)

Einfach nur sooo lecker, so frisch, tolles Personal

Awesome ramen restaurant with tasty chicken und vegan ramen. The staff is very friendly and likes to help. The place has a chill design and beautiful flair. Recommended!!

Sehr leckere Ramen und sehr guter Service. Eine wirklich gute Erfahrung. Absolute Empfehlung.

Super leckere RAMEN 🍜 und netter Service. Wir kommen sicherlich jetzt öfter vorbei.

For me the best place to eat ramen in Leipzig :)

Klasse Gerichte... mal was Neues. Das Ambiente ist ok. Wohl auch eher für jüngere Leute.

Kleines einfach eingerichtetes Restaurant, das sich auf Ramen spezialisiert hat. Extrem wohlschmeckend und sattmachend. Dazu super freundliches Personal. Für mich bisher geschmacklich das Beste, was ich bisher in Leipzig erlebt habe.

Biiiig bowl of ramen and tasty small snacks

Really tasty Ramen with many Vegan options. The atmosphere is also nice. I’ve never been to Japan but I had the feeling that it would be something similar. Price for one Ramen around 15€

Vom Essen her ist es eine 5/5! Wir waren zu dritt und wird hatten zwei Mal die Ramen mit Chicken und einmal Vegane Ramen. Beide waren mega lecker (sogar besser als Umaii). Die Brühe schmeckt fantastisch und mein Highlight war das Grüntee-Matcha Eis 🥺 Vom Service her waren alle super super lieb und mega freundlich. Ich würde da dennoch eine 4/5 geben, da es wirklich mangelnde Personal gibt für so ein kleines Lokal 🥺 Das kann natürlich auch passieren, wenn jemand mal krank geworden ist. Ich kenne es selbst von der Gastro, dass man dann sehr gestresst und hektisch ist und das fände bei so einem Lokal nicht so pralle :( Fazit: Ich würde trotzdem wiederkommen 🫶🏻

Ramen und Gyoza sind absolut köstlich und auch preiswert. Der Service war fix und sympathisch. Sehr empfehlenswert!!

Takumi ist ein Phänomen! Vor dem Stammhaus auf der Immermannstraße in Düsseldorf bilden sich täglich lange Warteschlangen. Und das nicht erst seit gestern, sondern seit vielen Jahren! Die Speisekarte wird dort bereits den Wartenden vor der Tür überreicht. So können sie zügig bestellen, nachdem sie Einlass gefunden haben. Und umso schneller sind sie wieder draußen und können Platz für neue Gäste machen. Mit drei Personen einen Vierer-Tisch belegen? In Düsseldorf undenkbar! Platzoptimierung ist hier Trumpf! Und das alles nicht für ein saftiges Steak oder für leckeres Sushi, sondern für Ramen (eine japanische Nudelsuppe). Man glaubt es kaum! Das Konzept ist so erfolgreich, dass Takumi (per Franchise) inzwischen auch in zahlreichen anderen Städten vertreten ist. In Leipzig, unweit der Eisenbahnstraße, hat im Sommer 2022 schon die 41. Takumi-Filiale eröffnet. Ein Gedränge wie im Düsseldorfer Stammhaus herrscht im Leipziger Takumi noch nicht. Als ich gestern gegen 17.30 Uhr vor Ort war, waren allerdings auch schon einige Tische belegt. Freie Tischwahl bestand also nicht mehr. Das Ambiente im Leipziger Takumi ist schlicht, aber angenehm. Der asiatischstämmige Kellner sprach akzentfreies Deutsch und war auch im Übrigen sehr freundlich und kommunikativ. Da gibt es wirklich nichts zu meckern! Aber Ramen ist einfach nicht mein Ding! Ich habe "Tan Tan Men" für 14,80 € und einen warmen Sake für 5,90 € bestellt. Preislich geht das in Ordnung. Aber lecker war das alles nun wirklich nicht. Der Nachgeschmack der Nudelsuppe war geradezu widerlich. Der Sake (immerhin 0,2 l) war nicht richtig warm und wurde in einem großen Becher serviert. In gehobenen japanischen Restaurants wird Sake in einer heißen Karaffe mit kleinen Bechern gereicht. Es bleibt das Phänomen Takumi! Für die Takumi-Gründer handelt es sich um eine wahre Gelddruckmaschine! Ich wünsche der Inhaberin des Leipziger Takumi viel Erfolg, damit sie die hohen Franchise-Gebühren nach Düsseldorf abführen kann. Ramen-Liebhaber scheint es ja genug zu geben (warum auch immer). Nur mich wird das Takumi Leipzig sicherlich nicht wiedersehen. Dafür hat Leipzig zu viele andere Restaurants, die mir mehr zusagen.

Beste Ramen Suppe seit Taiwan. Super. Ich komme wieder. Die Miso Ramen ist mit frischen Zutaten gemacht und schmeckt genau richtig.

Looks like a trendy place, always people around, ramen is fresh, The ramen is nice and tasty, the service is Asian. The only negative thing is that the meat is very small with 50% fat.
