Went here on work trip near the Markthal in Rotterdam. Amazing Ramen, quick and excellent service. I ordered the crispy tofu, it was delicious not too soft or too crispy, great glaze poured over. For the main dish I ordered the R2 - Spicy chicken teriyaki ramen. Great serving and full of flavor. We all were very satisfied and full, perfect spot for ramen if you're visiting Rotterdam. Very well decorated, we sat next to the kitchen that a plus to be able to see all the cooks doing their thing. read more

Before arriving I heard great things about Takumi so I decided to drop in for lunch and it was perfect! The service was great and it wasnt too far from where I was staying! read more

Very cute atmosphere but overall pretty disappointed with the food. Ramen lacked any depth or real flavor unfortunately and same with the crispy tofu appetizer. Definitely not worth the wait read more

Loved the atmosphere in the markthall and the vibe of the restaraunt. I liked the spicy miso broth which was very flavorful. But was not a huge fan of the karaage. The karaage becomes less crispy pretty quick after being in the ramen soup but I imagine would be better as an appetizer. Loved the veggie gyoza as well. The service was great! read more

Hip Ramen joint right off the town center. We visited Den Haag on a rainy day so ramen was just what we needed. Takumi is a chain, we saw one in Antwerpen and possible Brugge too. Living in the Bay Area California and having been to Japan five times, I'm a bit picky about Ramen. Den Haag is quite international, but given Asian food in most European countries I visited (20+) has been Europeanized I didn't expect much, just noodles in hot broth will do for the rainy day. We ordered the Butatama Miso, Veggies Miso, and curry katsu chicken. Was pleasantly surprised the miso broth is quite good, ingredients were fresh, and cha-chu pork was decent. Service is friendly. Curry chicken was just a-ok. Quite crowded and mostly college students and yuppies. read more

WARNING - FOOD POISONING - We thought there was something different about the chicken when we were eating it, and 1 hour into our 12 hour flight we both had severe food poisoning resulting in chronic diarrhea, stomach pains, cramps, nausea, continuous vomiting, and a burning fever and chills. We are now at day 5 and our stomachs and body has still not recovered! THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER REVIEWS OF FOOD POISONING FROM THIS DISGRACEFUL RESTAURANT! Do not risk eating here whilst you are on your holiday! They should be shut down, given this was no accident due to the multiple times it has happened and pure negligence! STAY AWAY read more

Great japanese restaurant, my japanese friend said she felt like she was in a ramen / yakisoba shop in Japan! They were playing extremely modern pop japanese music as well, and the presentation of the dishes felt extremely authentic. We really enjoyed the okonomi gyoza, crispy, light, and flavorful. The yakisoba came with miso soup and seaweed salad (which is extremely rare to find here!) We got both a chicken karaage yakisoba and pork belly, and I thought the chicken karaage could be a bit crispier, but the pork belly was marinated and sliced really well! Lively atmosphere and friendly waiters as well. read more

Just the ramen my boys were looking for! In fact we went back for lunch the next day. Place is a cutely decorated Japanese noodle shop. This shop served the worst hot green tea I've had in my life. It was tasteless. I definitely order the the bottled green or the oolong if you're not up for a beer or a Ramune. read more

Nice place. Good food and friendly service. Huge bowl of teriyaki spicy ramen. Outside and inside seating. Definitely recommend this place. read more

When I was in Rotterdam, I was craving some Japanese food and I stumbled across Takumi on Yelp. I was curious on how Dutch Japanese food would taste, specifically ramen, so I gave Takumi a shot. The service was great and the ramen was ok. The broth was a little too watery but it wasn't too bad. Overall, I'm glad Rotterdam had this spot to offer and it definitely satisfied my cravings. read more

This is a well decorated ramen spot in the middle of a busy area. They are usually fairly busy during peak hours, thus service is fast and sometimes feels a bit rushed. I stopped by on a Tuesday before they got super packed and was super excited for a good bowl of ramen, but left a bit disappointed. This is your definition of a "fusion ramen bar". Large menu selection without any focus on a bread and butter soup/noodle base. I ordered a Tokyo traditional ramen and was immediately put off by the fact that they used grocery store quality egg noodles instead of a higher quality wheat noodle. I was still willing to give it a chance based the favorable reviews. The ensuring slurps confirmed my suspicion that this place is quite over hyped. YMMV but the traditional Tokyo soup was rather salty and full of flavor additives. The chashu portions are good, but lacks flavor, and in my opinion, under cooked. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I personally wont recommend this spot to my peeps. read more

Takumi - Traditional Tokyo Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Rotterdam, ZH

Didn't expect there are so many Asian restaurants for a business trip in Netherlands. On a cold night, came to Takumi for some comfort ramen and It didn't disappoint. I ordered the black garlic tonkatsu ramen and it is legit. It helps when the noodles are imported from Sapporo's Nishiyama Seimen. Cha Su is fatty and the half volcano egg is get right. I will definitely be back and sample their curry next time. read more

Takumi - Bikk - Ramen Near Me - Rotterdam, ZH

This was my first meal in Rotterdam. Maybe it was because there wasn't that much going on near the Centraal station, or because I hadn't had ramen in weeks due to traveling, but it was just perfect. The place is huge - there are basically two seating areas. I copped a spot by the wall and ordered the traditional shio ramen. Their menu is a bit confusing because it has a lot of text. But basically, most bowls come with the same toppings (cha siu pork, soft boiled egg, bamboo/menma and naruto), with slight differences. You just choose which broth you want. Their noodles are imported from Japan, and they have them hanging in a big refrigerator by the front. Really cool to see. And you definitely get to taste the difference. Really springy noodles with just the right amount of slurpability. The broth was great too. Clear but meaty. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you need a ramen fix! read more

Here for business and had the weekend free to check out Rotterdam. Had a craving for noodles and found this gem. Spoke with one of the staff and this place has only been open for about 6 months. I had the traditional Shoyu Ramen. The food was very tasty. The service was okay, but they acknowledged and apologized about the wait and the food came very quick after that. Really yummy Ramen and very good service. Place was jammed on a Saturday night but because of how quick the food comes out the tables turn quickly. I will be back next time I make it to Rotterdam. read more

Takumi - Yummy Shoyu Ramen at Takumi!!! - Ramen Near Me - Rotterdam, ZH

A new addition to the ramen-scene in this town. Across Takumi there's Set and I guess Takumi felt confident enough to take on the competition. And so quick after opening I dare to say they are winning. I had ramen and tsukemen in Japan a couple of times and also a few times in Düsseldorf (Naniwa). It's fair to say it's very hard to come close to the quality in Japan and most restaurants I've been to in Europe don't. Luckily Takumi is actually a place worth considering since a bowl in the EU (€10~€14,50) is just a bit more expensive than a bowl in Japan (+/-€10). Actually I didn't go for a bowl of ramen but for the tsukemen. The noodles are firm enough and certainly above par, nonetheless they could have a tiny bit more flavor. The dipping sauce is more watery than I'm used to but I like the mild taste. Sometimes restaurants make it very salty, which of it self happens quite often but I like it this way. Portions are relatively large, at least I wasn't disappointed. As for the ramen, the rest of the (experienced ramen eaters) table agreed Takumi does deliver and it's quality is the quality competition should aim for. They can expect a revisit in the near future! read more

Nice place with very friendly staff and tasty ramen soup. Not so much choice for vegetarians, but i found a vegetarian version of soup. The place is quite busy what means that the food is good. They offer matcha & black sesame ice cream which are my favorite!!! Definitely worth to come back!!! read more

Takumi - Vegetarian spicy ramen soup - Ramen Near Me - Rotterdam, ZH

Since I know the Takumi 3rd in Düsseldorf, I also liked to visit the branch in Rotterdam. The ambience is a bit different, the restaurant in Rotterdam is e.g. much bigger, but overall very nice. We also got a place immediately. Fortunately there are two vegetarian Ramen soups (spicy and miso), which we both ordered. Various toppings are offered, my recommendation is the marinated egg. read more

Great authentic Japanese ramen. Busy place but fast service and it's worth the wait. I had tan tan men, my absolute favorite and a Calpis to drink. The ramen was nice and spicy and the noodles still had a bite. They have a variety of ramen and Japanese curry. Starters are the classics like karaage and edamame. Would definitely recommend a visit :-)! read more

Both the Mala Tonkotsu and the Miso Tonkotsu are among the best bowls I have had in Europe! The restaurant is very busy at but we got a table within minutes on a Saturday. The menu has a wide range of options, with Miso, Shoyu and Shio Tonkotsu in a few varieties, a spicy Mala Tonkotsu, Tsukemen, Tantanmen, Chicken based and even a vegeterian broth available. All of these can be expanded with extra pork, an egg, butter and several other options. For those who are not looking for Ramen, there are also rice dishes and gyoza. We'll be back soon! read more

Not as salty as Takumi in Düsseldorf. Enjoyed a lot. I had curry rice, which I think you can't get in Takumi Düsseldorf. Brickny, thanks for that nice lunch. read more

Had a lunch here close to opening hour about 2-3 weeks ago. Place quickly filled up with people. Couldn't find a menu online, also no menu outside the restaurant. A bit more expensive than other ramen restaurants in Rotterdam/The Hague, 12-14 euro for a bowl of ramen. Menu includes different types of shio ramen, miso ramen and tonkotsu ramen (option to add extra toppings). Rice bowls with different types of meat toppings, and snacks like gyoza and takoyaki. The restaurant specializes in Sapporo-style noodles (also famous for miso ramen), but I specifically came to this place for the tonkotsu ramen and takoyaki, since I haven't found these on the menu's of other local ramen places, had not yet tasted these yet, and are not easy to prepare yourself even with good access to Asian supermarkets. The takoyaki (fried balls, filled with mostly batter, and some octopus) were brushed with sweet savoury takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise. Did not include bonito flakes. Tasty and recommended if you want to try out new food, but as I said before, haven't had much chance yet to compare these with other takoyaki. Tonkotsu (pork bone broth, boiled for many hours) ramen bowl was huge and tasty, and quite a different taste than other usual ramen broths. Bring a good appetite if you order ramen here. Broth is quite salty, but not very much more than other Dutch ramen places I've eaten at. read more

Great ramen and curry place in Rotterdam. Has a nice selection and the ambience is great! Staff is also very friendly. Definitely one of the best ramen in the Netherlands. read more

My first every visit to this restaurant (today) was great, I like a lot of things that are offered from this restaurants. The food is great, it suits the price but I can't find regular beef other than Pork, chicken and vegetarian. I hope in the future they serve regular beef. Overall, it was a great eating experience! read more

We are only in Rotterdam for a few days and went here last night based on the reviews we read here. This was the best Ramen noodle restaurant I have ever been to. I had the Special Shoyu Ramen, and it was delicious. The broth was just right, and I liked having sesame seeds and spicy sesame oil at the table to add a little to the top. The service was great, and the staff was really nice! read more

Was expecting fresh ramen for this price but ended up paying €50 for instant noodles in pretty plain soup, deep frozen dumplings and two drinks. read more
