My wife and I were working in Easton, Connecticut and we wanted a great meal and something different. She used Google Maps to locate Takumi Ramen which had really great reviews. Prior to entering the establishment we took the time to read the window signage which detailed how they prepare the Tonkotsu Broth which is the base for various Takumi Ramen flagship meals. Takumi Ramen is a great, local, non-chain, and family owned restaurant that blends tradition dishes with creativity and love! The family originally operated a restaurant in Flushing Queens, New York but relocated to Connecticut for a better quality of life. Takumi Ramen is a beautiful and cozy eatery with casual attire offering a warm and inviting atmosphere where one can relax and enjoy delicious appetizers and entrees as well as unique hand made beverages, and desserts with family and friends.
They have a simple smart menu that is not too busy but has something for everyone! You can have a delicious meal and beverages coupled with warm, friendly, and attentive customer service without riffraff. The establishment is definitely a popular place with the locals and it is a refreshing change from the chains! It can get very busy in there with walk-ins, and online orders, so arrive early and you won't be disappointed! Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the host Chloe. She was very friendly, pleasant, professional, and had a genuine smile. We were quickly seated, provided with menus and our beverage order taken. Chloe was also our server along with "Belly" the really cool Bellabot.
Chloe asked us if it was our first time and we replied in the affirmative. Again, she smiled welcomed us and made us feel at home. I asked her what is your best and most popular Ramen meal and she immediately recommended the Volcano Ramen. Truthfully, we do not generally order appetizers but the food looked and smelled so good we had to try something. With that being said, we wound up having the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings which Chloe recommended. The dumplings were cooked to perfection and were absolutely delicious! For my wife's entree, she had the Chicken Ramen and I had the Volcano Ramen. We also enjoyed the Brown Sugar Bubble Tea which was an added treat. Chloe and Belly quickly brought out freshly prepared entrees. We could immediately tell that the food was prepared with love, care, and passion.
Everything was absolutely delicious- prepared, portioned, cooked to perfection, and served hot! Chloe was very attentive, friendly, efficient, personal, and happy to help! She takes pride in offering exceptional service and an attention to detail. In short, the fabulous food, awesome customer service, and clean bathrooms made for a great dinning experience! We will definitely be returning here to try some of their other very...
Read moreIncredible! I've been looking for authentic Japanese food in my area for a long time that wasn't too far of a drive. Did a Google search and found Takumi had just newly opened and only 10-15 minutes from my house so I figured I'd give it a try. I ordered the Takoyaki Octopus balls and the Stir Fry Pork Belly Ramen, and it definitely did not disappoint! Takoyaki is one of my favorite foods and I absolute loved Takumi's. The Stir Fry ramen had such incredible flavors and the Pork Belly was nice and juicy and flavorful. I think I found my new go to spot for Japanese food. I never normally write reviews but just had to. Wishing much success so I can keep coming and enjoying your food. Highly recommended. Cannot wait to try the ramen soup next, and of course more...
Read moreWe came for lunch on Saturday. The restaurant is clean and elegant. The staff are friendly. We ordered some appetizers, ramen noodles and bobba tea. Everything was delicious. We devoured all food in no time. Even my one year old ate half of noodles in a bowel. The highlight of the ramen noodles is the broth, which is fresh and rich in flavor. Chef Alan came to our table to greet us and ensure we liked the food. He told us that they make the broth fresh every day and all ingredients are selected with a high quality. You can definitely tell that the food is made with premium quality by its looks and tastes. Will definitely come...
