Takumi NINE Sapporo in Berlin

I looked for a Japanese man in Berlin by chance and was absolutely satisfied.

This place serves one of the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had! It was deliciously spicy and perfectly prepared. I highly recommend it, and the staff were excellent too!

Had the vegan Tan Tan Ramen. It was really great, but they quietly swapped the vegan mince for vegan meatballs, and yes, they sprinkled MSG on top too. Still tastes great, but for the purists who like their ramen without any additional surprises, here's a little warning!

Go, don't think about it, the food is very good.

Very tasty, very fast and incredibly friendly service! A little piece of Japan in Berlin. Prices very fair for the location in Berlin-Mitte.

It was the best tan tan ramen I've ever had in Berlin! The rich broth and chewy noodles were impressive. And the broth wasn't salty either, which was really nice.

I think the food there is very tasty and a lot of it looks (and tastes) homemade - as far as that can be judged, of course The atmosphere is rather dark and not particularly cozy. However, I find it original and it didn't bother me

Summary: very good ramen with friendly service and ok price for value in a bit a rundown interior setting, fast food style; 5 stars for the tantanmen, 4 for the rest Best dish: so far tantanmen (I would opt for the one without the fried chicken, just diced chicken). I went to takumi two days in a row to taste two different options. I know the chain from Düsseldorf/Köln Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): + tantanmen with fired chicken: very savory broth with perfect tanginess (not too spicy); nice bite of the noddles; they could add a bit more diced chicken - I had the tantanmen with the fried chicken, which I don’t recommend. Event though I ordered it on the side so that it doesn’t get mushy from the soup, it was still mushy and not a pleasure. = noukou tori shio ramen: white broth soup, which was good, but less savory. I prefer the intense flavor of the tantanmen. Again too little diced chicken. = gyoza with chicken: ok but nothing special, not very well-rounded seasoning; a better sauce mix would be nice Service: + friendly service = sometimes a bit disorganized Price: = ok price for value. I think the tantanmen with the fried chicken is too expensive for the quality Atmosphere: = fast food style; seating on stools and benches - a bit rundown and bit dirty My rating system - I focus on the food first and foremost. I aim to be truthful and try not to be biased by friendly service or other circumstances. 5*: excellent - I am rigorous in handing out 5* ratings 4*: good 3*: ok 2*: bad 1*: terrible

The food was very tasty, but unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. A polite request to close the door because of the cold was only met with a strange look. In addition, the waitress didn't speak any German, which made communication difficult. Of course, it's possible to have a bad day sometimes, and you can ignore that - after all, we're all just human. A friendlier and more attentive service would still significantly improve the overall experience.

Image menu does not give quite the right size of the portion. Tasty date bags with chicken, but 6 is too little. Order 12 for one person.

Unfortunately my partner and I was very disappointed with this meal.. There is always queue, and the place is cozy fast ramen atmosphere, and cannot falter the friendly and attentive staff. But the ramen was the worst we have had in Berlin.. We both had the tan tan veggie versions and it was covered in sriracha and the soup tasted high on the sodium and dried herbs etc.. along with frozen veggie meatballs and crumbed sticks of tofu this was highly unappealing and I wouldn’t go back to try more.. I realize my review is written as bad as the meal was.. I don’t do this very often but this sadly tasted like packet ramen and should be avoided. The meal was also one of the highest I’ve paid for ramen in this city and this includes many top chefs ramen. We didn’t take photos because it was so uninspiring. I can’t recommend this place to visit but we can recommend Niko Niko ramen instead.

Ordered for lunch on a weekday and received quickly and was delicious.

Great Service and food, sadly just chickenmeat also in my opinion a small portion of meat in the ramenbowl. Also the seating situation is very tight, you sit in my opinion too close to other guests, giving a bit buffet vibe.

I don't recommend it. Very weak ramen

Es gibt nicht viele Restaurants, von denen ich mir anschließend T-Shirts kaufe. Takumi ist eins davon, ob in Düsseldorf, Köln oder Berlin.

Tiny eatery place , cosy and cute atmosphere.food genuine and extra yummy

The food is tasty that’s for sure but for that price I would expect to have a bigger portion of chicken.

Good ramen, a bit too much corn ;) Very nice and fast service, the prices are also very reasonable

Great atmosphere and excellent food! Highly recommended!

Best ramen! Never disappoint :)

Takumi never disappoints! Impeccably done ramen!

Lovely experience. Nice staff and the food is delicious

Great taste and service!! The taste of ramen I had in Japan

Very good service with professional, kind and helpful service. The food was fresh and well spiced with huge portions. Highly recommended!

Very tasty ramen and super friendly service, highly recommended!

Went here for a quick lunch - pretty much unplanned. The staff was super friendly and to be honest, the other customer’s ramen looked super good! However, because we weren’t super hungry, we opted for something light and not as much. The Karaage was super crunchy, the veggie tempura and marinated pork was also very good and flavourful (don’t get me started on the rice, it was amazing). The space is rather small, but still is able to give a cozy feeling. Maybe finding a seat around lunch time could become difficult.

Takumi is an authentic Japanese Ramen restaurant, not one of those Vietnamese restaurants that sell Japanese Ramen. The rich broth and tasty noodles make you feel like you're in Japan. The restaurant has a cozy vibe, and the staff is friendly and professional. With different types of ramen—from the classic pork-based tonkotsu to vegan options—there’s something for everyone. The fresh ingredients and bold flavors make every bowl delicious. If you’re looking for a real Japanese ramen experience in Berlin, Takumi is the place to go.

Amazing ramen, very authentic! It’s probably the BEST ramen I’ve tasted in town alongside with many Japanese dishes, it’s a must try. Highly recommended!

Ramen was delicious and the gyoza was to die for. If there's anything to criticize about the ramen, it's the noodles. These could be better.

Best ramen in town! Veggie is great too!

Funny little shop, nice service and delicious ramen 😄 I paid €17 for vegetarian ramen with an extra egg and a non-alcoholic beer. You can sit outside at the back, card payment possible.

Small cozy Japanese restaurant with a courtyard Ramen is super delicious. A must for every Otaku/Japan fan :) From now on it will be my first choice when I go to Berlin again

Like in Naruto Super nice staff and the soups are delicious, my favorite is butkimchi ramen

I recommend! Very tasty food, affordable prices! I was very pleased. In summer there is a summer terrace, but in winter there is only a small room with not many seats. So be aware that you may have to wait in line outside in the colder months. But it's worth it! It's very tasty here!

Very tasty in itself, Gijosa very tasty, but 4.70 for a small bowl of seaweed salad is a bit expensive. Soups but big and tasty. The tables in the courtyard are very nice if there is no smoking there. The toilet is in the courtyard and very small.

Ate very tasty! Thanks for the great service!

Here I recommend for Ramen. The best one in Berlin. I took Shio Ramen which is recommended menu. The soup is very nice and delicious.

Good food, a little expensive for such a small amount of meat in my kimchi-pork ramen.

I had actually already eaten, but it looked so good and inviting from the outside that I treated myself to a second dinner and I wasn't disappointed. Really very tasty!

Very tasty ramen. Feel free to come here :)

Ich gehe gerne mittags dort hin. Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Man kann sogar draußen sitzen, die Terrasse ist hinten und nicht an der Straße. Ich liebe das doppelt reduzierte Ramen aber auch die anderen Gerichte sind sehr lecker.

Tan tan ramen was delicious, the service was very good, they clean every table completely after every customer. Noodles are savory and it does not have unnecessary vegetables.

Lovely staff and the food is super delicious for a good price! I try and come back at least once every time I visit Berlin! We had the spicy ramen with chicken and 6 chicken Gyozas! Really delicious!

Absolutely cracking food, sweating bullets after taking down the Gyoza and Tam Tam.

I had one of the best ramen in Europe. Takoyaki were also very yummy. Gyozas are just standart quality. Ramen 5* Takoyaki 5* Gyoza 4*

Very tasty, recommend the Noukou Tori Shio Ramen!

The most delicious Asian food we have ever tasted. Really homemade. The staff is very friendly. We will definitely be back many more times. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious. Great service and seating outside!

I would say the best setting in Berlin and Brandenburg ;-) very tasty and large portion. The service was also very friendly and the ambience is nice, there are also outdoor seats at the back.

Tasteless salt water instead of pho

Soup is too salty to digest. No slices of pork as usual. Average.

Ramen is simply delicious and the restaurant I visited was really amazing! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a warm bowl of ramen. The staff was very friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more pleasant. As for the food, the ramen soup was just incredibly delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the broth had a deep, rich flavor. The various toppings and side dishes complemented each other perfectly and made every dish a taste experience. Overall, my visit to this ramen restaurant was a real culinary experience that I can only recommend to every ramen lover!

The ingredients are not balanced. There is a ridiculous amount of protein. The broth was nothing special. You’ll probably add some extras to make it a proper ramen, so you will end up paying 20€ for a ramen which consists of 3 small slices of chicken, one egg, and some seaweeds. Too pricey — especially for what you get.

Excellent food and service. I went in shortly before closing time and they treated me very kindly as if I had a reservation. Delicious food and the staff were very attentive.

The octopus balls and ramen are both salty, and overall taste good

Very nice, cozy restaurant with a great yard. Here you can eat authentic ramen, the service is very friendly and it was a top price for the quality. I'll go back. Absolute insider tip!

The ramen was a little too high on sodium and you could tell the meat was fried to perfection but there was a certain smell from the oil which made it not as appetising as it should have been.

Amazing ramen experience in Berlin, very tasty, and the Spicy Ramen Meat is insane!

Very good ramen - both vegan and meat. Onsite you can but ramen t-shirts, ramen instant soups. The staff is very friendly.

I know the restaurant through my uncle and aunt, the food is really delicious and everyone is very friendly :)

An ok place to fix your craving for ramen but the broth feels too salty to be authentic. Good portion.

Awesome Ramen in the heart of Berlin. Recommended

Delicious ramen, building is a bit small but still the service was great. I would go back if I’m in the area

The staff is very nice. The atmosphere is casual. However, some of the dishes only have the name in common with Japanese cuisine, as I know it from Japan. It starts with the typical sauces and spices that are sometimes missing and ends with the more Mediterranean salad. So you shouldn't expect too much from a culinary point of view here. But definitely OK for a quick snack during your lunch break.

I have been there twice and it's always amazing! the lamen is very delicious and the service is really kind.

These guys serve absolute banger of a ramen. I try to visit the place every time I’m in Berlin. Has not let me down yet.

One of the best ramen I’ve ever had in Berlin! The takoyaki was perfffffect tho!!!🫶

Waited 15 minutes for the waiter to take our order. The drink came immediately, but the food didn’t arrive even after one hour of waiting. We paid for the drink and left disappointed.

Exceptional, both the food and the service. Had ramen, seaweed salad, gyoza, chicken katsu. Must go back next time in Berlin

Absolutely delicious here. Suitable for vegetarians, which is not exactly standard for Japanese food. And the service is great too.

Very friendly staff, the food tastes great, it's my favorite ramen in Berlin, and I think the prices and offers are really okay. I really enjoy coming here.

You can do it now. The ramen is not like in Japan.

I would love to come and come regularly. Ramen is always delicious. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to eat delicious ramen.

A nice restaurant with a good ramen. You can sit both indoors and outdoors. The staff was super friendly. Ramen itself was also very good.

It contains enhancers, it causes me heavy migraines after I eat here. I wonder how tasty it would be without it

Tantan ramen is my fave! i’ve been 2 times redeem my guest card meaaans more than 20 times come here😁😁😁

I always love to come to this restaurant, I have been coming every year for the last three years, each time I am able to return to Berlin. The special edition ramen 🍜 it's, in my opinion, one of the best flavours I was able to taste. Very warm and homey feeling ! The staff is always nice and fast in delivering the meals! Make sure to try the back of the restaurant, the architecture of the behind building is amazing

The ramen and gyoza are very delicious! During our time in Berlin we were here two days in a row because the food was/was so delicious. The service and atmosphere are also great! Thank you for the delicious food. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone if they are in the area.

one of the few places where Ramen broth is delicious 😋 Besides Ramen, I always get the gyozas. They never let me down 😋

No crust on gyoza, price to quality ratio not good. Noodles could not hold the flavor of the soup.

Everything very tasty and authentic!

It's a small restaurant, but it has a nice atmosphere and the ramen is delicious! Sebi will be back!

Best ramen in Berlin (and I’ve tried a lot), and very friendly and excellent service

Very nice service, nice ambience and a nice cool terrace in the inner courtyard. The food we ordered came in a very short time and we enjoyed it very much. We'll definitely be back soon. 👍

From the start, we were the first to be seated bc we were first in the line but for some reason we were last to be given menu and last to take the order which wasn’t that bad but most people might find that a bit disrespectful. Second thing was I ordered vegetarian ramen and I was given one with meat which I didn’t make a problem about, just took the meat out and ate it and made sure I’m paying for what I ordered, not for meat one. Last thing was, place felt a bit tacky and It just worsened the whole experience. Food was okay, but wouldn’t say it’s worth coming early/waiting. Almost every ramen I ever ate was better than that.

The ramen was very tasty. We took "Namban Shoyu Ramen" and "Noukou Tori Shio Ramen (Limited Edition)". Bon liked the first one more, because it had a richer taste and a very juicy broth. The second ramen was also delicious. But I would definitely recommend Namban Shoyu Ramen more. The prices are good, I read that you can also take a business lunch if you arrive before the break. But we didn’t have time and had dinner. We ate outside, very nice. The waiter was also wonderful. Very positive experience, we will come again 🫶🏻

I can remember that the vegan ramen was designed and implemented really creatively about 2 years ago. Nowadays, every vegan ramen bowl simply has a schnitzel. For me this feels like a step backwards. I can also easily make a vegan schnitzel at home

Japanese support ◎ Ramen and gyoza are the best!

We showed up quite late on a weeknight and they said if we would wait 5 minutes they could put a table for 6 together. Absolutely worth the wait. I still think about this place every day the food was incredible! It absolutely worth the wait and the staff are amazing and so friendly. My boyfriend really enjoyed the ramen and is desperate to go back to Berlin just to go to this one place!

Every time we are in Berlin we have to come here, it's a small, fine ramen restaurant. The selection is great and the employees are great too. Also very child-friendly.

I'm starting to get used to Takumi. As always very good.

Small but nice atmosphere! Friendly staff and fairly quick service. Very good and tasty vegan ramen!

The food is great and also the service is nice…it’s just a bit expensive, but worth it.

Unfortunately another place to avoid in Berlin. The stamp card is a failure, stamps are only available for expensive ramen (€17.5).

Real tip - great food, quick preparation and very friendly service. Totally recommended!

Great Ramen, attentive staff, tiny and cozy location. Good prices for big ramen.

I was looking forward to a nice portion of ramen, so I ordered the Tantan Men. It was actually supposed to taste like sesame, but unfortunately none of it came through. And only a single leaf of pak choy... It's a shame.

Legit awesome Ramen. 🍜 Best Ramen in Berlin.

i ate ramen for the very first time here and it was delicious. the prices are acceptable, waiters were friendly and the ambience was nice as well. sadly i couldn't finish my bowl because i was so full already, despite not eating anything else that day. i definitely plan on coming here again.

Absolutely delicious. One of the best ramen I’ve ever had. Also really good vanilla mochi. Definitely recommend. I had the special ramen (not sure if it was a limited edition or if it is always on the menu), super creamy and tasty.
