Online Reviews Summary

Authentic ramen and more: Reviewers praise Takumi for its rich, deeply flavored broths—from silky chicken to hearty tonkotsu and inventive surf-and-turf creations—perfectly cooked noodles and generous toppings. Sides like crisp gyoza, juicy karaage, octopus and even katsu make it a standout destination for anyone craving genuine Japanese flavors in Düsseldorf. Warm service and atmosphere: Nestled in Little Tokyo, the cozy diner-style interior with an open kitchen creates a vibrant, welcoming vibe. Guests appreciate the professional, bilingual staff, quick attentive service and English menus. Seasonal specialties, Japanese lemonade, ramune and on-site snacks keep the experience fresh, while vegetarian options ensure everyone finds something to enjoy. Insider tips: Expect queues during peak hours (around 15–25 minutes) and bundle up in winter, as lines form outside. Cards are accepted but reservations aren’t possible, so arriving early or off-peak helps secure a spot. While you wait, consult the Little Tokyo district map to discover nearby eateries and shops.

One of the best ramen restaurants

Takumi in Düsseldorf has already earned a firm place in the Düsseldorf restaurant scene. In addition to Düsseldorf, there is also a Takumi in Amsterdam, but we will not go into this here. Takumi offers grandiose ramen dishes that you can refine with even more delicious side dishes and additional ingredients. If you are ever visiting Düsseldorf, I recommend planning your time for lunch at Takumi.

For us, Takumi in Düsseldorf is one of the best Japanese ramen restaurants. It is inexpensive and extremely delicious.

Small and fine

Takumi Düsseldorf is a very small restaurant and does not offer space for many guests. It often happens that a long queue forms in front of the restaurant. This alone shows that people are willing to queue for a long time for a quick meal.

Special promotions

A visit to Takumi is especially worthwhile at lunchtime, because special bargain menus are offered. Here you get a ramen dish + 1 extra side dish such as gyoza (Japanese dumplings) or kara-age. For a then really cheap price between 12.80 € to 13.80 € there is really nothing to complain about.
