I wqs looking to good ramen and everywhere we went was closing then I stumbled across Takumi not remembering the name and I did walk by then other day telling my teammates how good they were. Then we got lost and needed up at Takumi and I said don't worry friends this place is really good. The service is great, I do recall familiar faces and they were friendly. I mentioned I was here last year and came back to try. I ordered the Terriyaki Miso Ramen and won't was better than I remembered. I ate all of it and the soup as well it was that good. If you want good ramen then stop by Takumi.
Best ramen I've had in a long time!!! The broth was so rich and flavorful the noodles were PERFECT, chewy but not rubbery Miso broth was the best I've ever had the flavors blended perfect and my tempura shrimp wasn't over cooked and you could taste the freshness In the shrimp! Spicy chicken wasn't too spicy it was perfect balance, it was missing some soy sauce but after adding it the flavor was perfect! Not a fan of the chicken meatball but everything else was great! The gyozas were amazing we preferred the chicken over the vegetable but it was good overall!
I'm shocked at all of the raving reviews here and on Google. It doesn't bother me that it's not authentic (fusion is great), however what was lacking were all the individual components -- they were not done well at all. The shoyu broth was bland (tasted like regular chicken broth with a bunch of soy sauce), ramen egg was way too salty, and wontons were very sad and flattened, not much filling at all. The restaurant itself felt kitschy and a little offensive (dramatic random "Asian" iconography). Would not recommend.
This restaurant was amazing. The decor was nice and the neon lights added a great ambiance. The service was fast and good. The ramen here was some of the best ramen i've ever had. I have the miso tonkatsu ramen with pork katsu. The broth was really flavorful and the pork was super crispy and juicy. The noodles were also really good and had a bite to them. I am so happy to have stumbled upon this spot! Definitely a must if you're in the area.
The decor here reminded me of an action anime! The servers speak English and they have English menus. The chicken Karaage tasted like it had more of a beer batter crust than a crazy crispy Panko. But it tasted good. The hot sake came out too hot to handle for quite some time--I was duly warned by the server for good reason. The ramen had firm noodles and a surprisingly flavorful miso-black garlic broth. The thin slices of pork was tasty. Not the best I've had but a satisfying bowl nonetheless.
Before I die, I'd like to have a bowl of Takumi chicken ramen. We've been a fan of Takumi after discovering this chain in Amsterdam. We went out of our way to also seek out Takumi in Milan. Coming from LA where ramen shops are a dime a dozen, I've had my fair share of ramen. I would gladly invest my life's savings if they wanted to open a shop in LA. Their broth is on par with Kagari, the Michelin chicken ramen, in Ginza, Tokyo. The perfectly crisp chicken skin and sausage skewers nicely contrast with the silky, rich broth. Curly noodles were consistently cooked al dente. My dad doesn't typically like ramen but he asked to come here for lunch everyday so we ended up eating here 5 times during our Barcelona trip. The staff didn't even need to give us a menu as we became regulars. On the last day, my mom got tired of eating ramen so she opted for curry katsu and that was well executed, too.
Walked in here and we were seated quickly. Staff seemed busy but were attentive and friendly. The place was busy and seems popular among the locals. There was ample seating but not much floor space. The Japanese decor was refreshing and seemed to have been put together with great care. We ordered the black garlic ramen, chicken gyoza, and the miso vegetarian ramen. The black garlic ramen had a rich broth, lots of pork, and ample toppings. I've eaten a lot of ramen and this was comparable to some of my favorite ramen places. The vegetarian ramen had really flavorful, marinated tofu and a rich broth, as well. There were lots of vegetables included. Great standard veggie ramen. The chicken gyoza was pan fried on the outside and had a nice golden crust. Very satisfying and a good appetizer before a piping hot bowl of ramen. Food came out pretty quickly, as well. You can sit indoors or outdoors, though I recommend indoors because the soup can get you pretty sweaty in the sun!
It's a tiny local, and they have many ramen options. I highly recommend the one that comes with shrimp tempura (picture attached). It's small but cozy, an decoration is on point! Perfecto for fun pictures for Instagram and a tasty dinner. Spicy plates are perfectly seasoned, not overly spicy. It's a more place to gather with friends, more than dates or romantic scapes
This is a great late night ramen joint in the intersection of placa tetuan and passeig san joan.. The ramen was good. Thin chewy noodles and a hearty broth. I ordered the dan dan which has a bit of miso and picante spice. It was topped with some ground pork, bok choy, scallions and a piece of nori. I would definitely order it again. Oh, and don't forget the side of kimchi. It was nicely fermented and spicy. No complaints and the Korean in me was grateful to see it on the menu.. We also got the chicken tonkatusu curry. It was basically rice topped with chicken and a plain curry sauce to the side. It looked boring and tasted kind of bland. I wouldn't order this again. There are a few table outside so bring Fido. They have Japanese cervesa. YUM! Open late and friendly service and decent prices!
really great ramen spot would highly recommend! my family got the teriyaki miso ramen, spicy teriyaki ramen, and the pork ramen and all of them were delicious. we also got one bottle of hot sake and it was some of the best sake i've had. the setting has fun decorations and they actually have two locations across the street from each other (presumably because it's so popular)
I was looking for a ramen place after a morning of shopping and saw that this place was rated very highly on Yelp and Google. Interior is very nicely decorated and it was a little bit busy around 2 PM on a Monday. The service was very fast though. I got the miso buta tama ramen and it was average. The noodles had a good texture. The soup broth was overly salty and I was so thirsty after my meal. The vegetable was also slightly undercooked. Sadly, not a very authentic ramen spot I think I would categorize it more of a fusion spot. I'd be open to trying other ramen spots around but won't come back to this place. read more

Loved the food here. The service at first was confusing because no one talked go us but I think they were just a little short staffed and then we were attended to pretty promptly. We both had ramen and some chicken based apps. Didn't expect such amazing ramen in Spain but it was great! read more

Barcelona is a city well known for its international cuisine options, and in my opinion Takumi Ramen is a prime example of that. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen which happened to be a great choice. Broth was rich and flavourful but not thick or heavy at all, veggies were soft and perfect and the meat melted in my mouth. Also, huge portion - enough Ramen to satisfy all my cravings and then some! Also, Takumi Ramen is located in a beautiful and convenient downtown area. Completely recommend this place!! read more

It was my first time visiting Barcelona and I noticed that there were many Japanese restaurants almost every block. I did some research and decided to try this place to see if the Japanese food in Spain is legit :) Overall I loved the experience. Their ramen is good.. and believe me, I'm born and raised in Japan so I know what I'm talking about. I tried their spicy ramen (I forgot the name. Not the spicy miso). It's a modern ramen and to be honest I don't like to call it ramen, but ok. I also tried my friend's spicy miso ramen, karaage, and gyoza. Yes the spicy miso is legit. I loved the broth and it was cooked perfectly. Each gyoza was small but it was delicious too. The place is pretty small and it stayed packed the whole time I was eating. Actually there was a big wait list by the time we came out (9:30ish) so plan to go a little early.. like 7:30 ish so you can get a table. People eat dinner very late in Spain as you know. read more

Stumbled upon this place one afternoon. The menu was awesome. So much to choose from... I couldn't pick. I decided to try the spicy miso with fried chicken. It was outstanding. The broth was perfect, not too spicy but still had a spice to it. I would highly recommend this place. All the staff was super friendly. Very affordable too. read more

We had lunch in Saturday. The place was super busy and it took us 45 min to sit for the lunch which was the only negative point. We had one spicy chicken ramen and fried chicken with curry and rice plus two Japanese beer. The food was just spot on and all you want on a breezy winter day. The broth was rich and the chicken was cooked to perfection. Real taste of Japan in Barcelona. read more

I am a huge fan of Japanese food, as is my family. After getting a little tired of seafood, we decided to look for a Japanese restaurant that served Katsu curry as well as ramen. Takumi ramen was the perfect spot! Their Katsu curry was fabulous, and the rest of my family enjoyed their ramen. However, they couldn't help but steal bites of my curry, so if you're struggling to decide between the two... go with the curry read more

Don't know where to get good japanese food in Barcelona? Do not worry because this place has got you covered. They have great bento dishes and a la carte items if you're not too hungry. The prices are very reasonable and the service is great. Would not hesitate coming back here. Also great if you would like to take a break from the Spanish tapas read more

I wasn't expecting to find such a great ramen spot in Barcelona but of course it was a nice surprise! Takumi Ramen is pretty legit and has so many choices of food with something for everyone. I really like the vibe a lot here. I brought my entire family here and everyone was able to find something that they liked. Apparently they have one of these in various cities over Europe so they must be doing something right. I would definitely recommend coming here if you want a break from the regular tapas-style restaurants that are so popular in the area, it's a nice change. read more

Randomly found this gem while looking for a place to get soup. It was day 6 in Barcelona and we needed to change it up a bit after having tapas pretty much every night. We got there around 20:30 and the place filled up rather quickly with a line forming outside. We shared the ramen, torikatsu set, and the matcha toast. Ramen broth was good albeit a little on the saltier side while the katsu was solid. Getting the matcha toast felt like it was too much, but we were craving something sweet. Would recommend this place if you're in Barcelona looking to try something other than Spanish food. read more
This is a cute, kitschy ramen place with neat decor (a bit of a darker street vibe). I ordered the spicy Mala chicken broth. The crispy chicken skin was pretty good and so was the broth - very creamy and earthy. The noodles had good texture. The dumplings were maybe a bit of an after thought. But, overall it was really delicious and it came fast. Servers were really nice. A bit expensive, but good overall. read more
