Takumi in Düsseldorf

The food is great, the service staff are very friendly and attentive. Recommended for vegetarians. I'll be back!

+ Good atmosphere - Mediocre food

Very fast service. Delicious Ramen. And plenty of vegetarian choices.

The food, service and price were unbeatable! You can visit the store spontaneously without having to wait long. The ramen was great We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the service

Delicious food. Good flavors. Fresh and fast.

Delicious ramen, very fast service We sat outside

It doesn't have anything special. There are places around that make much better ramen. It's not worth the wait.

Japanese restaurant. Excellent ramen.

Perfect noodles are simply to die for, we go to the exhibition once every 2 years and have always been here for 10 years, service, speed, quality is always on top

Fantastic RAMEN experience. They are specialists, they offer a few variants, among which I would highlight the tonkotsu style of broth, my favorite. Bar that overlooks the kitchen, from where you can see the busy work of the cooks and the steaming pots of broth and other ingredients. Attentive service, prices in the norm. Highly recommended, although at night you have to go a little early, because it gets sticky.

Value for money could be better. The food was good, but not outstanding.

A very popular spot in Düsseldorf. There's always a long line later in the day. Food, drinks, and service are good and fast. Cool Asian style. The ambiance isn't very nice—there are beer tables outside. Restrooms could be improved. Otherwise, everything's good. Recommend the ramen 🍜

Was eating there for the first time. It's a hyped store here. This cuisine is not my favorite but it was very tasty. The only thing I have to complain about is the toilets there.

Great food. Definitely recommend it.

Our first impression is okay. Seemingly always full, it is common to queue to get in here. We were there in the evening during the week and waited for about 5-10 minutes. The outside area is equipped with red light that warms. While you're waiting, you can choose what you want, ordering goes quickly and the food comes very quickly. In general you feel like you've been mass processed, not very comfortable to sit and relax for a long time, but rather eat quickly and leave again. Because of the crowds, it would be very unfair to the other customers to stay here... The food is good, but not outstanding. Anyone who has ever been to Japan will be able to confirm this statement. All in all, it can ease your longing for the original. I would like to see a little more variety in the drinks menu, for example tea.

The reputation was real, after many years of waiting to go, without having to wait in the eternal line that there is always, we were lucky and arrived on a Friday at lunch time and ordered the signature ramen and a karaage miso ramen. They were both very tasty but the one that was really delicious was the Surf & Turf. Maybe it's worth waiting in line to get in, but only for the Surf & Turf.

Perhaps it was due to the overcrowding after ProWein? It was jam-packed, cramped, loud, and hectic. Complete with the peculiar atmosphere of a sperm waste warehouse.

I often walked past it because the lines were too long for me. Today I got there on time and the food was good. Atmosphere and service were great. Bonus point for the loud Japanese greeting and farewell.

really good food 😋 I’ve there multiple times and will go back

Very very tasty Japanese food! Highly recommended! No matter what you order there, everything is great 😋

Tasty and definitely deserves its reputation - you only have to expect a waiting time on the weekend!

I personally think this place is overrated. The service is fine and the restaurant way too cramped. Not worth the wait….

Wofür ist Düsseldorf bekannt? Richtig: Altbier und Little Tokyo. Und was isst man in Little Tokyo? Richtig: Sushi, Ramen Suppe, Karrage (frittiertes Huhn). Das Takumi ist für die Ramen ein guter Spot. Leckere Ramen mit verschiedenen Brühe . Karrage ist auch gut. Für Sushi muss man aber woanders hin.

Excellent ramen and very friendly staff. The place is small and a little bit noisy but it seems that is part of the plan to fight the cold from the outside.

A must-visit in Düsseldorf. The ramen is simply the best!

It's actually really great, but these chairs really tormented me.

Honestly idk why ppl are obsessed with this place, the ramen isn’t necessarily bad it’s just very mid, not to mention they use instant noodles

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with a good variety of options to choose from. The ramen itself is good, though the broth is on the lighter side. While nothing stands out as extraordinary, there’s nothing bad either—it’s a solid choice for a comforting bowl of ramen.

We had the Ika Geso and the Teriyaki Miso Ramen. Both were delicious. The service was super fast and extremely friendly.

Food was delicious in itself. I particularly found the miso broth and the ramen noodles themselves very tasty and tasty. The staff was also super friendly and very quick. Unfortunately, the high expectations of the place were not quite met. In particular, I found the broth a little too cold or not hot enough, which meant it cooled down quickly & the karaage was so in the ramen that it was more wobbly than crispy.

Very authentic ramen served by an all Japanese crew. Very tasty and reasonably priced. To avoid long waits during the day, come in the evening on weekdays before closing.

You have to be lucky to find the time you get there. I've sometimes had to wait for a table or seat at the counter to open, so be prepared for some time. The food, however, is served very quickly. Small but nice.

Takeaway food. Tiptop. Very nice employee and had dinner with us in 5 minutes. We can highly recommend it

Amazing ramen, the service was fast. Usually there are queues, but it’s worth it.

How to make Tonkotsu Very delicious

You have to eat here if you’re in Düsseldorf. The ramen is more than amazing. Even tho you will probably have to wait a while to get seated it’s worth it

Not quite what I expected. The food was OK, but I expected more for the price.

You don't need to say anything more than “TOP”. As always worth a visit. One of my favorite restaurants in Düsseldorf 😋

It's not the first time they eat ramen here, as always, it's very tasty. I recommend

Increíblemente sabroso y rápido! Muy entretenido, se hace un afila pero avanza muy rápido. Ramen increíbles más otras cositas.

Mega great food. Very tasty, good service. We'd love to come back.

The seafood noodles were successful, but the one they called special was not very good. I think the pasta is bought ready-made.

Very good shop, the food was really good and the staff was friendly, unfortunately there isn't enough space in the shop itself for the application, but there is tent space outside for that.

Ottimo posto per mangiare Ramen ma anche altri piatti giapponesi preparati velocemente ma con grande cura ai prodotti . Informale volutamente , si può entrare con short e ciabatte piuttosto che con una giacca classica . Ha un ottimo dehor con riscaldatori. I camerieri sono velocissimi ma anche professionali e sempre sempre con il sorriso ! Bravi ristoratori

Extremely tasty, prices very fair. It was very worth it!

Very friendly staff and the food is very tasty. The food is served quickly and hot and there is a good selection of different ramen, rice dishes and side dishes

Not good at all, don't get the good reviews. Go to Oststraße, there are way better Ramen places.

The staff just slams our menu up even when me and my girlfriend just finished looking up the menu without saying excuse me at all. Not a good experience at all. The food is mid.

bad service attitude, doesn’t let us read the menu at all. I wouldn’t go again.

Takumi 1st is a fantastic Japanese restaurant! The ramen is authentic, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The other dishes are also fresh and high quality. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly and attentive. If you love Japanese food, you should definitely stop by here – highly recommended!

We eat here on a Sunday evening. You had to wait a bit until a table became available. The best ramen I have eaten in Germany. We had the Karaage Miso Ramen and the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen. For starters we had gyoza, takoyaki and teriyaki chicken. Everything tasted wonderful. The Yuzu lemonade is also highly recommended.

A place where delicious, traditional Japanese dishes are served. There is always a queue at the door, but the circulation is high and the employees provide very fast service and are very friendly. We liked the taste of the food, but do not have exaggerated expectations. Ramen portions are huge, it is difficult to finish it unless you are very hungry.

The service is designed to ensure that everything works quickly and in an optimized manner, but this does not give you the feeling of being rushed. So great! The food as such was also very tasty and delicious. This is authentic Japanese cuisine that you can't often enjoy outside of Japan. The staff is also absolutely friendly and they represent the store quite well. I'm super happy! :-)

very good tan tan men with karage and egg

Auténtica comida japonesa, la mejor que he probado. Incluso quería llevarme algunas a casa para compartirlas con mi familia. El restaurante es pequeño que tienen asientos exteriores. Pero la comida es excepcionalmente buena.

Delicious ramen and the side dishes are also great. The service is very good and super fast. Unfortunately you have to wait a relatively long time to get a seat outside in the cold. Ambiance so only 2 stars eat 4-5

Delicious food but in my opinion it doesn't live up to the hype. Absolutely solid restaurant, authentic and great service but I still expected more.

From a long-time customer's perspective, this restaurant has gone from bad to worse. The new manager is clearly unfit to run this restaurant, the food has gotten worse since the chef changed, the waiters are getting more and more impatient, and three of the four waiters don't speak German. I spoke to the cashier in German and she rolled her eyes. She seemed to forget that this is Germany and not Japan and that even in Japan she shouldn't treat customers like that. Japanese speaking customers are very welcome here.

An interesting experience of Japanese cuisine.

Delicious ramen shop, I came here through recommendations online, it’s really Japanese style ramen, very authentic❤️

The food is good, but always very cramped and crowded.

Little Tokyo Japanese ramen shop near Königsallee in Dusseldorf. The soup is a bit salty, and the sliced ​​meat, bean sprouts, and noodle are not considered delicious. There are 6 of us in the group. As soon as we entered, they immediately assigned us a seat and the service was very good. This is a store where you have to queue up

Super tasty ramen and fast, friendly service. Definitely try it!

Not up to the standard at all. I have much better one in London. Sorry Dusseldorf. The pork should be thinner and with fats and very tender, almost melt in your mouth. As you can see from the photo, no fat, too thick and it is hard. Besides, it is cold. The egg is also not tasty. The soup is ok but can be thicker. No sesame offered. When I saw the menu that Kimchi is also on the menu. I know it is not authentic. Why people queue for this restaurant. Are they also trapped like me or they don’t know what Japanese Ramen should be like?

I've been eating at Takumi 1st for years and it really is the real and best Takumi! The vegetarian ramen are super delicious. Bring a little time because waiting in front of the door for a seat inside or outside (heated with radiant heaters) is standard. It's worth it though. Who the If you want to order take away you don't have to wait in line and can go straight in and order at the checkout. Payment can be made in cash or by card. Price performance is also right. My 5 year old son also likes to eat his ramen there.

We haven't eaten such bad food in a long time. The broth just tasted burnt and the “crispy chicken” tasted like anything but crispy chicken. I would never leave my food because it's a waste of food, but this time we had to leave all 3 bowls because every time we took another bite the whole thing would come back up. Also, after we talked about it and we didn't eat anything at all, we wanted to talk to the boss, but the employees said there was nothing we could do about it. In the end we had to go to another restaurant because we left all 3 bowls and were still hungry and still had to pay the €71. Neither a discount nor a real apology was given. The least would be an apology. So we would never come back just not tasty at all.

like in japan i have no more words go there it’s sorry the wait

The wait in line didn't take long. It was delicious and large portions, I couldn’t finish it.

First experience with ramen and it was delicious! Be patient because you may find some queue outside, but the food is good and the service really fast.

Authentic Japanese ramen with an excellent broth and fresh ingredients. The taste is unique and the ambience is very inviting. An absolute must for ramen lovers!

Whether it's ramen in soup or the starters, it's all damn tasty and you can't get enough of it. The price is also absolutely right. Unfortunately, the queue, which often takes up to an hour, is really worth it and you'll enjoy coming here. It's a shame that the room isn't bigger and can fit more guests, but you can also choose one of the other Takumis in the Japanese quarter.

We were thrilled!! We had previously been to a popular ramen restaurant and we didn't like it at all and were very skeptical about it today. It was really tasty!! We ordered more because every bite was an experience! Service was also super friendly! Happy to come back!

Very tasty ramen soup! I ate ramen for the first time today and it was delicious and very filling. This time we were lucky and didn't have to wait long. We'll definitely be back 😁

Went with a friend nice atmosphere, sitting together, great and tasty. Delicious!

Let me say from the beginning what I will say last. After waiting in line for about 20 minutes, while I was at the front of the line, a group of 6 people (most likely Japanese) entered directly in front of me. I waited silently to see what would happen. I guess they went out again because there was no room. In about 2-3 minutes, I was invited in. I sat at the table shown to me. After 30 seconds they asked me to move to another table in the corner. They arranged a table for a large group (6 people) and this group was a Japanese group of 6 people who entered in front of me. As far as I know there is no reservation system. Everyone has to wait in line. Maybe this group is a regular customer of the shop, I don't know. But it bothered me a lot that they let them in instead of the people behind me in line. As far as I know, "respect" is very important in Japanese culture. But I saw a "disrespectful" behavior here. As for the food, I tried gyoza and takoyaki. The gyoza was delicious, the octopus in the takoyaki felt a little too “rubbery” when chewing. The sauce and especially the mayonnaise on it were very delicious.

Amazing place run but Japanese with original delicious ramen!

Nice restaurant with particularly nice staff and a really excellent ramen. The queues can be intimidating but it's worth it. Only recommended

Food is ok. Nothing memorable or special. The ambiance is fun though.

The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. I loved it.

Sunday evening, 3 adults. We waited 20 minutes in line to get our table inside - for the bravest there is also a tent outside with heating lamps. The place is very small and very basic (no placemats or glasses for drinks) with an open kitchen. Fast and very kind service, even if you perceive that they need the table as soon as you finish eating. Good ramen at prices in line with all other restaurants

Tasty (4/5), but unfortunately quite crowded and a long waiting time. Rather expensive for what you get.

Unfortunately there are always long waiting times in front of the door, but also in front of the checkout to pay. However, the food tastes excellent.

Fast and nice service. Gyoza and Ramen very good, solid portion :) Recommended 🤗

nice atmosphere, food served quickly. great place

I feel like it's suitable for foreigners who don't know about authentic Japanese ramen. The atmosphere is very Japanese.

Very strongly recommended for Ramen fans out there. Absolutely amazing Ramen. The most delicious Ramen I have eaten. The chicken broth was delicious and the noodles were also full with flavours. We had three different Ramens and everyone was satisfied with their dishes. The service is quick and attentive. The waiting time is a little longer than any other restaurants in the area but the crowd and the queue speaks all about the quality of the food here. The card payment is accepted.

It’s quite delicious for Europe!

Excellent, super fast service and very good taste

Takumi 1st serves close-to-authentic Japanese ramen varieties indeed. Every time my wife and I are in Dusseldorf, we always make a point to have their ramen. It is not easy to find good ramen in the city, in which we are currently living in Germany. The restaurant exudes nice Japanese pub vibes although the venue is not spacious enough. My wife and I ordered Deluxe Miso Ramen and Tonkotsu Ramen. 1. Deluxe Miso Ramen : Superb texture of the ramen noodles, slightly runny egg yolk, crisp bok choy and shrimp, crispy and light exterior of the karaage with the right amount of seasonings. Last but not least, it was the broth, which was the highlight of the dish. It had deep flavour from the milky bone broth. The chef could have reduced the saltiness slightly though. 2. Tonkotsu Ramen : Great texture of the ramen, crisp blanched bok choy as well as bean sprouts, decent-sized of the pork. Needless to say, the ramen noodles also had fantastic bounciness. One point to suggest would have been to reduce the amount of salt in the broth.

This place is always bustling with people, and it’s no surprise why. The taste is consistently good—simple, authentic, and satisfying. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy an exceptional ramen experience. The atmosphere is lively yet inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a hearty meal. I had a fantastic time with delicious food that truly hit the mark. However, be prepared to wait—there’s often a line outside with eager diners waiting to be seated. But trust me, the experience and flavors are well worth the wait!

Everytime I visit Düsseldorf, I have to eat at least one bowl of tonkotsu ramen from here.

The one and only Takumi is this one. Super delicious ramen, believe me, the queue is worth it!! The only criticism: There is little vegan/vegetarian selection. I believe there is exactly one vegetarian choice of ramen. Gladly more and a completely vegan version 🌱

It’s one of the best ramens in Dusseldorf but I am not sure if we are coming back. The whole experience felt very rushed: they give you the menu while you are still in the line and will probably wait for another 30 minutes. We asked to be seated inside because it was 5 degrees outside and we were with a kid but the door was constantly opened and it was very cool inside. However, the worst of all of it is that I got a food poisoning and had stomach problems the whole night after eating there

Great Ramen in Dusseldorf. There was a queue to get in when we left so it must be popular!

Great authentic ramen. Always full with a queue. We had the tonkotsu ramen which was very satisfying in the middle of the cold winter nights. They also had ramune which were a welcome surprise.

Tasty Ramen, fast service. Well priced.

The shop is not recommended for people who don't eat pork as the selection is very limited but it was still delicious. If you want to try ramen for the first time, there's nothing wrong here, but all ramen are made with tonkotsu broth

Super tasty and quick food! I am thrilled with the Shoyu Ramen, they tasted great and were served quickly, perfect for lunch! The atmosphere was pleasant, but it is not a restaurant for relaxing. I will definitely come back!

Exceptionally good food and nice, quick service!

Tasty, fast, typical and good ramen.
