Great casual ramen spot. Welcoming vibe and attentive service. My friend and I shared everything. Loved the salmon avocado salad with ponzu sauce, it was so delicious and beautifully presented. The bibimbap with marinated beef and fresh veggies was very filling, it had more veggies than beef though. We also had the shoyu tsukemen, a cold thick noodle topped with egg, fishcake, broccoli and hot flavorful chicken broth. This was my least favorite, I thought this was just ok. Not sure if I'll be back anytime soon since I'm usually not around this area, but would recommend if you are, price is affordable. read more

We came here on a rainy Saturday night as it was conveniently located near Washington Square Park. We ordered some ramen, sushi and other small dishes to warm us up. The ramen was fairly standard and satisfied our hunger. The sushi was decent. The fried chicken was probably the best item we ordered as it was juicy and crispy. The service was fairly quick and friendly. Overall it's definitely not a super fancy ramen spot but is a good spot if you're looking for a sit down space that's also fairly casual. read more

Really attractive location and inside decorations of Japanese culture which I believe the restaurant leans on to attract its customers. It's a quaint atmosphere once inside. This was my first ramen bowl, and I am content with the experience because it matched my expectations. Social experience with a small portion of protein and overall food inside the ramen bowl. read more

I've been a fan of Ramen Takumi when they were over on 11/12 street & university. Love that they're closer to my office. Came with my girl friends for a quick dinner and everything was great!! No wait, around 5pm. Service was quick and the waiter was patient... you know, when girls are catching up, we forget to decide on food. Food came quick and was so tasty and warmed our body & soul on a cold winter night. It does get crowded around 6pm on a week night and the place is full of chatter, and slurping! Def a great place for a quick. It's if you're in area! read more

Ramen Takumi - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Nothing beats a steaming bowl of ramen on a cold day. Ramen Takumi offers a variety of ramen options alongside traditional Japanese favorites like chicken katsu, teriyaki, sushi, and more. Their Tan Tan ramen is a delicious spicy broth with thin noodles, ground pork, boiled egg, scallions, bean sprouts. I expected it to be spicier, but you can request your preferred spice level. The service was splendid, and I felt like I has always been taken care of it. The spot itself is really cute. The walls are decorated with manga, which gives it a fun vibe. read more

Ramen Takumi - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Ambiance (4/5): Inside is super tight with tables almost sitting on top of each other. However, the establishment has a very cozy vibe with the wooden panels along the walls. The place is dimly lit with a moderate noise volume. It was a full restaurant at 7:30p on a weeknight but I was solo and seated immediately. Service (5/5): Several staff members bustling around but I felt like I was attended to during my whole stay. It took approx. 20 minutes for my ramen to be served. Tonkotsu Ramen (4/5): The broth was umami but missing something (I had to ask for chili oil for additional flavoring/spice). The charsiu pork was a bit on the dry side but at least they were two medium sized thick cuts. The soft boiled marinated egg was delicious. The ramen noodles were straight-cut so not the usually chewy bites that I prefer. I think overall, it was good but not everything I had hoped for. read more

When it's cold outside, a warm bowl of ramen usually does the trick. Came across this location after a long Black Friday shopping adventure. Walk-ins are welcomed and we got seated right away. From ordering to the food arrival, it was an acceptable time. For Food we ordered a miso and shoyu ramen. Both were good, but personally the miso was a lot more flavorful and richer than the shoyu which tasted a bit basic. Overall I would recommend coming and trying their menu, will come back again to try others read more

A great place to stop by if you're near Washington Square park. This is a spot I frequent that always has great customer service and seats quickly. The space is self is very beautiful with anime and mangas illustrations on the wall and cherry blossoms trimming the wooden panels along the ceiling. The food is great, I usually go for a Tan Tan ramen if not the sushi. Recently tried the YUBU set, it's pretty good the Spicy Tuna was great, it was sweet and filling. Highly recommend. read more

I was in the neighborhood . I got the shoyu ramen to go and I like how careful they are packing the food . The soup was a little on salty side but over all it was good. The chasiu was good and the noodle. It wasn't over cooked and wasn't too chewy. The food came out pretty fast . read more

Came here for dinner a few weeks ago on a Thursday and it wasn't too busy at the time. We ordered a few things, all of which were great - and service was fast and efficient. The vibe is casual and I can imagine given the locale, it's probably ideal for college students in the area. Would definitely recommend the karaage as well as the chicken katsu curry ramen! The menu is pretty expansive so I'll definitely stop back in to try other items. A great last minute option for an affordable and delicious meal. read more

My friend and I came here on a saturday afternoon around 12:30PM. Surprisingly, it wasn't packed despite it being the weekend near NYU. I am NOT complaining though. The seating was decent and once we chose a seat, water was given. The wait staff also noticed when water needed to be replenished which is definitely an added bonus to our experience. My friend ordered a miso tonkatsu ramen while i had the chicken katsu don that came with a miso soup. Overall, I think my food was just a tad salty so I had downed quite a bit of water. Despite that, if I was in the area and craved it, I may still go. It wasn't the best that I've had yet I would not say it's the worst either. If you're in the area and need a quick bite, I don't think this would disappoint. read more

Had to come here since they offer an NYU student discount and are so close to campus, I figured this would be a great place to get ramen on a cold evening. I went with a friend and we shared the "Stern Roll" which was pretty okay, and kinda pricey, even for sushi. I went for the dipping ramen made with chicken and chicken broth (the default might be pork on that one), and the noodles were good but the broth was too salty for my liking. We also ordered the chicken katsu set which is definitely the most bang for your buck and it comes with a Japanese curry upgrade and the curry was so flavorful and definitely worth the additional $2. Service wasn't great, we had to make it in time for class and kept having to chase our waiters down, despite it being not too busy. Come for the lunch specials! read more

The food here has been generally fine, with a benefit of some beer and sake selections that aren't commonly served. However on this visit the ambiance was terrible. They were loudly playing the worst music I've ever heard in my life. I'm pretty sure it was AI generated, every song sounded exactly the same and sounded like chatGPT rambling aimlessly about a topic: a lake, stars in the sky, a cafe, whatever. I could not wait for the check to arrive so I could leave. My companion didn't even finish her meal. Just awful. read more

Good food and service. Ambiance is also chill and music is not too loud. I got the una don with miso soup

Was seated next to an openly racist and homophobic group, making offensive comments, saying SLURS, accents, to my table, and taunting their waitress. I spoke up to other staff and he said "what do you want me to do about it?" in a condescending way. They did not want to make a "scene", and said himself the behaviour was just because they were "drunk", but continued to serve that group much more alcohol (it is illegal to serve alcohol to patrons visibly intoxicated!) Extremely disappointing. read more

I have eaten here numerous of times( the spicy tan-tan and the Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen being my favorites) I have also invited friends here, prices are not bad for being in SoHo as well as for the portions!! Service is amazing as well!!! Cant wait to continue to eat here! The wall has manga panels that I thought were really cute, there are seats for solo eaters by the windows as well! Overall I really liked the environment (^--^) read more

I wanted sushi. Nothing crazy good, so I came here after class. It's a ramen place so I wasn't expecting anything too good, but this 7-Eleven sushi is better. The miso soup is came with was also really salty. I came with a friend and his ramen took very long and we didn't get to eat at the same time. The ambiance is nice and it's in a convenient place. I would not recommend going here unless you have to. read more

We love this place and come with the family all the time. Such nice people and yummy food with fair prices.

ignore the one stars saying the service is shit. if anything the service is THE SHIT (ba dum ching). smiles everywhere and asked me two times how's everything WITH SMILES, and the ramen itself is top notch (coming from a chinese who loves jap food, so trust an asian will ya). savory broth, thick but not sticky. pretty normal interior no dirt no nothing iffy; the bathroom's dope cuz it's got crowdsourced graffiti on the door. overall 5/5 no cap. good college lunch grab joint too! read more

Totally fine ramen spot by NYU. Super appreciate that the hot tea is free and the service is friendly and prompt. The ramen can be heavy on the scallions and onion, yes. Just let it cook in the broth so they soften. Broth is mild, which I preferred. I guess the full egg in your bowl is not a thing anymore based on the half egg I got and the photos I'm seeing lol. read more

Ramen Takumi - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

A really solid place for ramen, sushi, and rice bowls. The ramen was the best part. The noodles were appropriately soft, the tan tan broth was nice and spicy with a rich flavor, and the garnishes were well balanced. The veggie tempura was weaker - I wasn't sure what veggie I was getting when I bit into it! Just seemed like fried dough. The agedashi tofu was also something of a disappointment; not enough lightness fried texture on the outside, and only 2 pieces of tofu, with way too much ginger and scallion. The caterpillar roll, eel and avocado, was quite decent. In short, I'd say focus on the ramen! But it's still a good place for other items as well. read more

Service is prompt and very friendly. Shrimp dumplings quite tasty. Rolls are fresh, good and generously sized. Chicken teriyaki was nice, but too salty in my opinion. Good tea. "Green tea mont blanc cake". It's about the size of a large cupcake, chestnut cake with green tea frosting, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Fun! Pleasant, casual ambiance. read more
