Restaurant Review: Takumi Dusseldorf – Rotterdam

I visited Takumi twice in the same week, in the beginning of June, I heard that it had officially opened and I was really excited to try it. It’s been a while I had real good Japanese noodles so I took my coworker there. She’d never had anything like it so I had to introduce her to some of it.  We got there early because we were catching a movie later, it is only a short distance from the movie theater.

As we made our way in we were excitedly greeted with a loud “Irasshaimase (いらっしゃいませ)” which of course had me instantly sold. It’s all you hear whenever you enter any shop or restaurant in Japan.  it means “Welcome!/Come in!”

The second I noticed was the interior. It was nice, clean, very Japanese. A lot of wood aswell. I heard Japanese music playing and the staff was dressed in a black jeans and black/blue shirt. We were seated and asked if we would like a drink, we opted for (chinese) Ice tea.

After we made our pick, which was really difficult to be honest, we decided on a Spicy Tonkatsu and a less spicy variety of it and some Takoyaki.

The next week I took my mom and Nicolette/Kaori with me to eat there. I was craving it badly all week.

We got there when the weather was absolutely perfect and when we were shown a table we sat outside to enjoy the last bits of sun and the vibrant West Kruiskade.
We ordered a set of Kimchi and Gyoza. Both were near heavenly aswell and all three of us had to stop ourselves from ordering more of it.
