The ramen is exceptional. The broth is delicious. They added the mushrooms and corn and I had to slice pork which is perfectly. What a great ramen dinner!. The mango macha tea latte was very good.

I had been craving ramen for most of my trip. I originally wanted to make it to Ramen Wasabi, but I never quite found the time. In the end, Takumi Ramen turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen and the Harami beef skewer. The ramen was fantastic. The broth was rich and satisfying, and the chashu pork, soft-boiled egg, and bamboo shoots were exactly what I needed after spending the day walking through Forest Park and Pilsen. The Harami was equally impressive. Simple, perfectly cooked, and incredibly flavorfulβeverything youβd want from a grilled beef skewer. The atmosphere was another highlight. Cozy, quiet, and comfortable, it felt like the perfect place to recharge after a long day of exploring. Whether youβre eating alone or with a group, itβs an easy place to settle in and enjoy a great meal.

Dimly lit, quiet ramen spot at the very top of the best of the best ramen bowls and broth in the city. Flavorful as all hell and the spicy here actually means spicy lol. The service was great, the staff was very attentive and rounded frequently. Also: three bowls, an order of gyoza dumplings, a boba, and a ramune all came out to be almost $25 cheaper than other establishments with similar (high) quality ramen. Can't wait to stop by again

Great service. We tried a few appetizers and they were okay. Ramen: I ordered the spicy miso ramenβit was a little salty and not spicy at all. Atmosphere: The vibe is great; I love the style and dΓ©cor. Overall: Not a wow for me, to be honest. Would I come back? No.

No reservation needed. Casual Monday night dinner. Yakitori platter: beef was good. Pork was okay. Chicken thigh was dryer than bone in chicken wing. Okonomiyaki: more doughey. Could have more seafood chunks. Tonkatsu: Clean broth, could be creamier, but it wasnt as oily. Comes with seaweed, egg, chashu, and bamboo shoots. No corn. I like the noodle texture Spicy miso: flavorful.
