Takumi in Düsseldorf

Super delicious food. Fast service

Whenever I'm in Düsseldorf, I try to eat ramen here. It simply tastes excellent. You feel like you've been transported straight to Japan. Cold recommendation!

After ordering, I received delicious ramen with no waiting time. The original goods are also cute 😍

Super delicious Japanese food, I can absolutely recommend it!

The queue is long, but it's delicious.

The ramen is excellent and cooks quickly.

The Tantanmen Ramen was very tasty. Unusual for me, with chicken. Reasonably priced. The staff was ok The location looks old.

We were there 30 minutes before opening and the queue at the restaurant developed quickly. When we entered we sat directly at a window seat and ordered 3 ramen. The restaurant was filled in no time. Our choices were the Ajitama Tonkotsu Ramen, Kaarage Miso Ramen and Kaarage Tokyo Shoyo Ramen. We also separately ordered the vegetable tempura and a Yuzo lemonade. Tasty, authentic ramen with an excellently balanced proportion of the individual components. The Takumi team is professional, friendly and accommodating. The ambience seems very familiar and the atmosphere is absolutely great thanks to the open kitchen. Large portion for a fair price.

Kind staff, great fried chicken and curry. Highly recommended

Düsseldorf is a city renowned in Germany for its significant Japanese community, making it a promising location to find authentic Japanese cuisine. During a visit to the city, I discovered a restaurant there called Takumi. As the numerous positive reviews it has received would suggest, the Japanese ramen served at Takumi offers a truly authentic flavour experience. The pork-based broth, which tastes as though it has been simmered for a considerable length of time, has a rich and deeply satisfying taste. The noodles and the meat are cooked to an appropriate texture, achieving a very good balance with the robust soup. To complement the delicious broth further, I also ordered a side of rice topped with Karaage (Japanese fried chicken). The Karaage was expertly prepared; it was delightfully crispy on the outside whilst remaining tender on the inside, and its taste was superb, providing an excellent addition to the meal. Furthermore, seeing the Japanese chefs at work in the open kitchen adds to the sense of authenticity and instills confidence in the quality of the food being prepared. One practical piece of advice for potential visitors: if you plan to visit during the lunchtime period, be prepared that you might encounter a significant queue, particularly if you arrive even slightly after the service begins.

Visiting Takumi 1st feels a bit like starting a new favorite episode. As soon as you arrive, you think you've landed in a side quest: lots of people, full shop, tension building. But don't worry, the level is doable. Despite the crowds, we were quickly brought to a table, almost as if an invisible host with teleportation had guided us through the crowd. The crew there is like a well-coordinated team from a shonen anime. Fast, friendly, attentive and with a smile on his face that would energize even a tired sensei. There were five of us, three of them children, and everything went as smoothly as a slice-of-life finale. There are no reservations, but it's like a good training arc: If you want to avoid the rush at peak times, you should think carefully about your timing. Otherwise, you may have to wait a little longer with your stomach growling. The food was an absolute power-up. We had a mixed bag of appetizers, ramen and curry. Everything was delicious, warm and full of flavor like a freshly cooked bento box moment. As a snack, I can particularly recommend the vegetarian gyoza and the fried squid pieces. The gyoza are crunchy-soft with an umami effect, and the squid pieces definitely deserve their own boss fight. I'd love to come back. Next time maybe with chopsticks in hand and intro music in your ears.

Great veggie ramen, takoyaki and kimchi! The atmosphere was bustling so be prepared to wait!

Authentic Japanese restaurant with authentic food! Ordered teriyaki, gyoza, ajitama tonkotsu ramen and surf & turf ramen. Would like to have more spicy level on my tonkotsu ramen but other than that, all good :)

It was super tasty and the atmosphere was just great ✨ We will definitely be back 🍜🥰Thank you very much for the great service! If you like my feedback - please leave a like!👉🏻👈🏻

The ramen was delicious😊 The Korean staff was so cute too☺️

I was in Dusseldorf for the day and found this lovely place that reminded me to the Ramen bars in Japan. The Takoyaki tasted just like the veggie one I had in Osaka, and brought me wonderful memories, the vegetarian creamy ramen is also delicious!

I can't believe I'm saying this. But this restaurant is a FULL 10/10 and I left happy with a full stomach. The food tastes great, the service is FAST and the atmosphere was warm and cozy DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!

Authentic Japanese restaurant. There is always a small queue, but it moves very quickly. The staff tries to seat everyone as quickly as possible and feed them delicious food. The prices are reasonable, most portions are quite large, but after eating there is only a pleasant feeling of fullness.

Best ramen in town Verry friendly staff and so good food like you re in japan Tomo arigato gosaii mas

TAKUMI 1st DÜSSELDORF: TOP-TIER RAMEN! 🍜 Rich and incredibly flavorful broths. 🥢 Special shoutout to the Japanese lemonade: a uniquely refreshing explosion! 💯 An authentic taste experience. Go for it!

Perfect! Polite and friendly staff, delicious ramen… and not only ramen

I've never enjoyed food so much. Honest. Me and my girlfriend were there today and ordered ramen with mushroom broth, rice with fried chicken and octopus balls. The octopus was so delicious, I would have loved to order more if I still had room for the other stuff. It was prepared very quickly. You can be really happy with the prices! You also get really full. I will 100% come back! The design inside was really inviting and you felt like you were in a series like this.

The best Japanese food outside of Japan. Ramen at least.

"Authentic ramen experience in the middle of Düsseldorf!" I was absolutely thrilled! The ramen was incredibly flavorful – perfect broth, perfectly cooked meat and really tasty noodles. The karaage in particular was a highlight: super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside – exactly how it should be. The service was quick and friendly, despite the house being full. You can tell that the cooking here is done with love and experience. For me, definitely the best ramen restaurant in Düsseldorf. I'll definitely be back!

Must Try food place in Little Tokyo Street😍

A must every time I'm in Düsseldorf :)

The food was tasty and quite authentic.

Very popular restaurant on Immermannstrasse, which means you should wait a bit The selection of food is great, and we were also satisfied with the service and ambience. However, the broths could have tasted a little more authentic and less monotonous. Overall, still a good restaurant.

The broth was nice, but the ingredients, especially the egg and meat, were cold. The noodles were also undercooked. The service was very rushed; staff kept checking if we were done so they could clear our table quickly and seat the next customers. It was a very stressful experience. I do not recommend this place.

The soups are delicious, the gyozas are very delicious! But the octopus balls had too much sauce.

You are welcomed with top service and immediately feel at home. The food is for anyone who likes Japanese cuisine, the spiciness of the food is customizable and super fresh. I am very satisfied with the visit and will definitely come again.

Tasty ramen, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Got a seat quickly, the staff helped us as best they could in English and were very cute. Definitely recommended for ramen fans!

Great ramen and absolutely authentic interior

Nice service, good food and no long waiting times. Really a good spot to eat ramen.

We ate there - it was busy so we had to wait a bit before we could order. We had the “ramen” dish with baked chicken twice. The taste is really great! For my taste, however, it could have been a little more vegetables or chicken. The portion was still large and filling.

The dishes are delicious. I liked them so much that I went back 2 days later to try the other options on the menu with 5 friends. On my second visit unfortunately I was not as satisfied as on the first visit, because while my friends received their dishes quickly, which is a plus for this restaurant, my dish took 15 minutes and I still had to remind the waiter that my dish was missing.

Strong, 1A frame, unfortunately no longer an insider tip

The food is absolutely delicious and the prices are really good.

Really very friendly and fast service. The ramen came quickly and was delicious.

Unfortunately service was very disappointing!

It was my first time eating ramen. And I love it. My husband had already been to Dortmund and Bochum and now he really wanted to go to Düsseldorf. We didn't regret it. We combined the visit with a concert that took place in Düsseldorf. It was super crowded. Also in front of and in Takumi. But it comes and goes, so we didn't wait more than 20 minutes. However, things would have looked different if the weather had been bad. So! Definitely bring some waiting time. As soon as we were seated the menu came. The drinks and food were taken quickly and 5 minutes later, our Surf n' Turf Ramen, Takoyaki and Gyza were at the table. Super delicious. The portion is huge, very filling. Don't believe it at all. All the food is really very fresh. And the service is very customer-oriented and attentive. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for the delicious food.

Good Japanese snack. We have been here many times. The food is great. Price performance is right. The ambience is very simple, but everything is okay for a quick lunch.

Very tasty ramen. I can recommend everyone who comes here. The ambience and also the service staff are top and actually leave nothing to be desired. I recommend this store!

Takumi has so many good reviews and rightly so! We really enjoyed the food, miso teriyaki. We were served very friendly and left the restaurant feeling full and happy. The restaurant is ideal for a quick, tasty meal in a small space. We recommend this restaurant 100%!

I'm generally skeptical of hyped shops and could never motivate myself to join the almost always-present queue at the restaurant. But recently there was no need to wait and we spontaneously went in at lunchtime and I was very positively surprised. Great ramen and very tasty ingredients, plus Japanese lemonade and very friendly and quick service. Not expensive at all. It was very tasty, I'll definitely come back again. Arrigato!

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

+ Good atmosphere - Mediocre food

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

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

Delicious ramen, very fast service We sat outside

Delicious food. Good flavors. Fresh and fast.

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

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

Japanese restaurant. Excellent ramen.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 😋

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

How to make Tonkotsu Very delicious

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

very good tan tan men with karage and egg

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! :-)

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.
