Takumi Tonkotsu Ramen Amsterdam De Hallen — Restaurant in Amsterdam

This was by far the best Japanese Don I’ve had in the Netherlands!

After our pottery painting session yesterday, my best friend and I were craving some good soul food — and Takumi Tonkotsu Ramen Amsterdam absolutely delivered.

We arrived on Saturday around 14:15–14:20, and more than half of the tables were already occupied. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, the staff were super friendly and quickly found us a table. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfectly matching the kindness of the team.

We started with the Yuzu Lemonade, Spicy Okonomi Karaage, Teriyaki, and Ebi Furai Gyoza Don. The Yuzu Lemonade was incredibly refreshing — honestly worth every bit of the €5 — and paired beautifully with the chewy, flavorful Spicy Karaage Chicken and juicy Teriyaki.

The real star, though, was the Ebi Furai Gyoza Don. We ordered it as a set with miso soup and salad on the side, which made for a hearty and well-balanced meal. Since we were sharing, the staff even brought us an extra bowl, spoon, and fork — such a thoughtful gesture! The ebi tempura was wonderfully crispy, the gyoza had the perfect chew, and the vegetables with rice tied the whole dish together perfectly.

We left completely satisfied and already can’t wait to return to try more dishes. I’ve officially added this place to...

The best ramen in my neighborhood, i like the ramens here way more than the curry , i always receive dry rice with it , maybe it’s just my luck i don’t know ! Plus the curry it self is not really any better than Japanese curries i tried before! The purple cheese cake is a waste of money in my opinion.. it was really bad ! But ! The main and the most important is the ramen .. and i love their ramen, i never can complete that huge portion.. friendly staff , but i was served the food before the cutlery during several visits . One last important tip , please be carful of cleaning the dust of the lamps above the tables, sometimes when people opens the door the tiny dusts come in my food , and even make me sneeze. Anyways i showed the waiter yesterday how dusty was the lamp .. it’s not that hard to clean it once a week at least ! But still i love the place and i go...

I have tried almost every ramen place in Amsterdam. This isn't the worst, but it is definitely below average.

Kara age curry was OK, but nothing special.

The tonkotsu ramen broth was bland and watery. Pork overcooked. Noodles very thin and tasteless. And worst of all, they put coriander in the ramen. Weird.

Kimchi way too salty. Miso soup very bland.

Chef Mike (the microwave) is far too busy for a fresh food restaurant.

Doa are allowed inside and outside. Service was friendly and welcoming.

It's a shame because it's the only ramen place in the area that serves lunch. I'll wait for dinner and go to one of the other better ramen places...
