    We found this ramen shop due to it was close to our hotel, and it sure did not disappoint our appetite. Their ramen and broth was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered tan tan men, I ordered miso ramen and were very delicious. Kare age, gyozq were fried nicely! You need to stop by and try this awesome ramen shop if you are in Dusseldorf!

    This place does Japanese right! I have spent about four years in Japan and enjoy good Japanese food. We have been here quite a few times and they consistently deliver the same quality food and service. I typically get the Veggie Ramen and sometimes add the chicken (Japanese style) schnitzel. The chicken and broth are always piping hot. the chicken is fried in panko so it is nice and crispy. They leave the skin on one side, I always discard that part. The broth is soy-based with quite a rich peanut and fermented soy bean (natto) taste. We also usually order some gyoza, which is a nice starter. We always go when we are craving noodles, so I haven't tried some of there other dishes. Stay tuned! It is a fairly small place, so there may be a short wait if they're busy.

    Small Japanese noodle house with lots of locals. That is a good sign. I tried their headline noodles - it was good, deep flavored broth. However, what I liked more was the spicy miso broth that my friend had with the veg noodles. Good atmosphere and good people - good experience.

    Umaimon is a great place to eat. The chicken katsu is fantastic (unfortunately no pork version available) and the ramen is just to love. If you like authentic Japanese food, you should try the Umaimon.

    It was really good! My me and my cousins arrived quite late but the staff was still nice and polite. I doubt they're all fluent in German but it's quite easy to make yourself understood.

    Super awesome ramen. The soup is incredibly thick and savory and the atmosphere makes you feel very much at home. Home as in Japan that is. This is one of the best ramens I've had including in Japan. Not to be missedd

    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.

    This place specializes in onomiyaki (Japanese pancakes) and some soba dishes. I came by for lunch…read moreand was surprised to find that the atmosphere was pretty bustling. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside is decorated with old Japanese newspapers on the walls, dark wood tables, lanterns, etc. To the food. The onomiyaki did not appeal to me because they're kinda covered in mayo, which is a deal breaker for me. I was also somewhat shocked at the prices - 16.50 EUR for a fried pancake seems like too much! I went with yaki soba noodles with pork for a more reasonable 10 EUR. I wish I liked the noodles more, but they were just alright. After I ate most of them, I could see pools of oil left over. I have a pretty high tolerance for oiliness (vs. my zero tolerance mayo policy!), but even this was pushing it. Plus, for a couple Euros more, you could go to Soba An across the street & eat perfect handmade soba. Even though the food was only OK, other factors added to the experience. The service was speedy & they brought an individual carafe of iced tap water (!!), miso soup, side salad, green tea and seasonings. Also, the presentation was thoughtful and I appreciated the little design details. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would, but instead I'll round up. In the end, I'd come back because it's a cool place and a nice addition to Dusseldorf's Japanese district.

Driven by the description "Warme Küche…read more(Bistro) - Wochentags von 11.00 - 14.00Uhr" my wife and I stopped by today, Dec. 27, to delight in some Curry Rice and Soba Noodles. Just to be treated like scum for having the audacity to ask for warm food. The japanese lady (girl?) behind the counter said "Choose from the dishes in the counter", whereupon I responded that I am not there for cold food - especially given the wintry temperatures in Düsseldorf. I was told again that I couldn't have any hot food, to which I asked at what time the kitchen would then open? (We arrived at noon, but maybe they were delayed?) She hten curtly told me "There will be no hot food.", pointed to a small note on the glass shield that separates the customer from the kitchen areas and turned around to bitch with her colleague in Japanese. Which shocked my (japanese) wife as it was uttered in quite a loud voice and easily understandable. WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS? And where the courtesy to update your website if you decide to take a break from offering warm dishes? We have family in Germany and are there quite often - but never at Wayo again.

They have products from Japan, China, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Great Britain, America and France. I love that I can purchase a large bottle of my favorite pomegranate juice (straight from California) at a very reasonable price and also pick up my favorite Korean Ramen Noodles. There's a good selection of spices, baked goods, speciality drinks, chocolates, etc. They have a wonderful area with fresh produce and one of the best ice cream selections I have seen in the neighborhood. The service is always friendly, prices are fair, and the private parking lot makes it very convenient if you are driving.
