After traveling around Switzerland for a week, it got to that point in the trip where we…read moredesperately needed Asian food. We were passing through Düsseldorf for half a day and saw they're known for their Japanese food, so we decided to check out Takumi! They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. AJITAMA TONKOTSU RAMEN: I'm a tonkotsu person and almost always order this over other types of ramen. Not sure if I was just so severely deprived of Asian food, but I felt Takumi's tonkotsu ramen ranked pretty high on my list! And coming from SoCal as well as having lived down the street from both major Japanese food hubs in Los Angeles, that's saying a lot! Good amount of pork, the noodles were cooked to the perfect texture, and the broth was rich without being overly salty. I don't usually enjoy other types of ramen so I can't speak for those items from their menu. But I slurped my entire bowl of tonkotsu ramen dry! KARAAGE: Large pieces with crispy exterior and super juicy interiors! I wasn't expecting much but in the end I was super happy we ordered this. Overall, amazing tonkotsu ramen located in Düsseldorf's Little Tokyo.

I ordered a Japanese eggplant dish as an appetizer and it was great, my sushi was a plate of sushi and a roll of my choice....I loved every piece. Fresh, nice rice and the servers dressed in authentic looking Japanese outfits, right down to the white socks and the thong wooden shoes. It was a nice change from the regular German fare in Dusseldorf.

Sowohl Menü als auch Einrichtung und das in Kimonos gehüllte Personal entführen den Gast zumindest kurzzeitig nach Südostasien. Das "Benkay" ist in drei Bereiche gegliedert: Die "Fish Corner" mit Sushibar ist der klassische Restaurantbereich. In den Tatami Räumen können Gäste privat mit eigener Servicekraft speisen. Und im Teppanyaki werden Fleisch- und Fischspezialitäten -- darunter das berühmte Wagyu-Rinderfilet -- vor den Augen der Gäste auf heißen Eisenplatten gegrillt.

I went there for lunch and got the vegan ramen, which was tasty and a pretty good portion. The ramen was 7.50 which is a good price for lunch. They also have a deal during lunch where adding a tea is only an extra charge too (which is 1 or 2 euros on top of the ramen price), so me and my friend took advantage of that! My friend got the classic beef ramen and he also liked it. Can recommend YUZU for sure!

We were delighted that Takeichi was open on a Sunday when quite a lot of other businesses are closed! We snagged the last available bar seats facing the window- this place was BUMPING on a chilly Sunday afternoon even at 3pm. The kimchi as a starter was a win, better than what we can find in Amsterdam. The takoyaki was also delicious- served piping hot and resh. We tried the delicious tan tan men, and their shoyu ramen. The tan tan men was my favorite - creamy chicken soup, sesame paste, chili oil. I'm not sure why the shoyu wasn't as tasty, but the portions were perfect and the amount of noodles was just how we liked. Prompt and friendly service, casual atmosphere with lots of space, and everything you could want on a wintry day. Thank you, Takeichi, for warming us up!

I ordered that would unagi bowl and my wife ordered the charisdon bowl. Quality of cuts of the sashimi were great, and even the Unagi was really flavorful. It is a tight little shop, so you gotta sit really close to other people but overall everybody around there is very friendly

FOOD & DRINKS Another day, another visit to a Ramen…read morerestaurant in Düsseldorf. I went with the recommendation and ordered the Mali Tora Soba. The soup was very oily. I would say a bit too much for my liking. It also wasn't really spicy just in case you are afraid it will burn your tastebuds. Instead it was more fragrant and I strongly believe the reason for that is because of the famous Chinese chili oil they added to the broth. In particular the one with crisp chilis. The minced meat did not have too much flavor. Overall it was still a nice bowl of ramen. SERVICE Unfortunately the service felt rushed and busy. ATMOSPHERE Sadly they still haven't opened the restaurant for dining inside. RATING Personally I would only come back again if I can eat inside the restaurant to enjoy the Japanese flair and I would skip the recommendation and try something else. It wasn't bad but it wasn't special enough.
