Dun Yong Kitchen - Powered by Taka in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Tour guide recommended place. Very local, nice atmosphere. Food was good, a little bit salty. (I still loved it)

I know its been a few years but I miss the chashu pork

Too salty ramen for me. I had a veggie ramen and a drink. Besides the drink I liked a glass of tap water and mentioned it was for taking medicine. They refused and told me I could buy spa blauw. Odd....if I only ordered tap water I could understand but I had a paid meal and an ice tea. You can show customer service by these little things. Not a place for me to go back to.

Really cool place on 4th floor of a supermarket. The food was Really good. I ate a Miso ramen

The veggie ramen is so flavourful and the staff is super friendly.

Packed with essential minerals such as sodium. So much sodium. Better with half the amount of salt. I found the same problem in other parts of Europe like Spain so it might just be a local level of salt. Very generous amounts of chicken and pork, cooked well. The grocery store downstairs is expansive and we'll stocked.

Ramen is very flavourful, and packed with blood pressure busting sodium. The chicken in the ramen is seasoned with a lot of salt as well, adding to the thirst inducing level of the meal. if they allow, ask for less salt. Bring a big water bottle.

I eat a lot of ramens and this one is my favorite, probably the best in my life, broth was very rich in taste, eggs and meat perfect, noodles very tasty, price is also very good. Staff are really nice and lovely.

Their Tan Tan men ramen 🍜 has a rich flavour as you would expect from a good place that takes care of their ingredients.

This must be the best ramen in Amsterdam. Not a lot of options for ramen but the one that I like is actually the best I had so far in Amsterdam! I really wish they are also open for dinner

Nice take on what the western people are used to concerning ramen, healthy gingery broth, wouldn't frequent it too often but it's a nice place to see another traditional twist on ramen. Last floor can hot and stifling under the sun.

The food wasn't good and overpriced and the place was dirty and broken down

Very good, tasted Ramen. Nice friendly service

Excellent Ramen, a very pleasant surprise, a bit hid away on the 4th floor above a Asian supermarket you will find Excellent Ramen, not 100% loyal to the Japanese one but comforting, tasty and reasonably priced.

Amazing food but the waiter is awful and rude. We left before even ordering and had a nice diner at Xian delicious food around te corner with good food and nice staff! Dun yong lost a big fan today!

The Ramen was alright compared to other ramen places I’ve tried. The overall dish I had felt like even if u had the correct spoonful of everything in the bowl the balance was off. It was a flavourful that sometimes felt overpowered by the slices of kimchi you added. This might of been an off day and I would like to go here and try the ramen again. The gyoza was decent and felt similar to other gyozas I’ve had before.

Tasty ramen and friendly staff. Good price-quality ratio.

Miso is too salty to bear… Onlu one waiter. Don’t expect any service…

Great food with tasty ramen. We need to wait a bit because it is a small and crowded place, but it is worth the nice food. Also, go up by the stairs so you can take a look at the nice products available in the store.

Nice hidden place at the last floor of the building

Really delicious food, different types of ramen available. So far the tastiest I have ever eaten. Very friendly service. Space is limited, so see if you can reserve in advance.

Tasty ramen for a good price. Friendly staff and you will be helped fairly quickly despite the queue. All in all a nice experience.

My favorite food in the city. Tan Tan Men is unbeatable. Thanks Taka for making my day every other week! Shout out to Kiki for great service each time. :)

ramen for non-asians 😔 salty but somehow still flavourless broth, overcooked egg, and overpowering kimchi, which i don't think belongs in ramen at all. the noodles were good but overall this doesn't even taste like ramen.

The best Ramen 🍜 in the world 🌎🌍 thanxxx to Taka!!!

The restaurant is tucked away at the top of the store, offering a stunning ambiance and a great view. I had one of the best ramen I’ve ever tasted! 🍜 We shared one dish between two, and it was more than enough. We were honestly disappointed to have found this place only at the end of our trip. The only downside is the opening hours, but despite that, I highly recommend this spot!🌷

You should arrive around 11.45 to ensure a seat. Their tantanmen is amazing. Super rich broth and the only actually spicy ramen in Amsterdam

Interesting place. Out of curiosity, I will come here again

taka ramen's tantan ramen is heavenly <3

The place is popular, and def expect to possibly wait for a table to become free. The ramen is good, and happy we tried it, but probably would opt for another restaurant next time if we're craving some ramen as we believe there are better options around. The gyoza as a side we could have missed, as it tasted a bit like mass-produced ones, like the ones they sell at Dun Yong downstairs. All in all fine to set the hunger, but unlikely to become a spot I'd go back to.

Service wasn’t the best as Taka is the only cook and there’s only 1 waitress serving/ catering to 20+ customers. The food was okay, however the soup base was very thick, thicker than gravy, it felt like eating potato starch soup. The ingredients were very flavorful tho and the ramen tasted authentic. Would perhaps return on less busy hours to give it another try.

Not a place to impress people with...UNLESS they are into amazing ramen. Best I have ever had!

I would say more like a ‘Chinese style ramen’ than Japanese but that could feel normal at the top of a 4floor Chinese store ;) Rich flavors of ShoyuRamen, kimchi, pickled ginger, egg, spring onions, meat in a very fatty fish-chiken-pork taste broth. It felt a bit too much for me in 1 bowl, I didn’t feel the balance that why the 4stars. The location is very authentic with a nice lookout on the top of the gingerbread houses.

Masterpiece, a feast for the mouth. Eat there, wait for the queue no matter what.

Delicious ramen. The broth was full of flavor...highly recommended.

Ik zie dat de meningen wat verdeeld zijn. Moet zelf zeggen dat ik de ramen hier toch wel heel erg lekker vond. Ik ben gegaan voor de Tan Tan Men (Dan Dan noodles, spicy, sesame, chicken and pork based broth) Eten werd super snel geserveerd. De pittigheid was precies goed. Ik heb een smaakvolle lunch gehad.

The food is delicious and the service is great! I tried gyoza and ramen and I would definitely recommend both!

I recently visited Taka Ramen, located on the top floor of a building with a shop on the main level. Accessing the restaurant is convenient, as you can take either the elevator or the stairs. Despite a queue upon arrival, it moved quickly, and we were soon seated. The menu offers a limited selection of ramen options, but we opted for the Tan Tan spicy ramen, which was nothing short of amazing. The broth was rich and perfectly spicy, complementing the noodles, which were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of bite. The addition of kimchi brought an extra layer of flavor that elevated the dish. While the restaurant is not particularly fancy, the focus here is on delivering delicious food. Overall, my experience was thoroughly enjoyable, and I look forward to returning for another bowl of their fantastic ramen.

I think it’s a cool ramen place, because of the location, if you seat by the window there is a nice view. I think the kimchi doesn’t connect with the ramen but the in overall it’s a nice ramen. Super fast service, kind service.

Never had a ruder service before, asked for some water, the server dropped a bottled water on the table, that's it, no glasses or cups offered, just a plastic bottle. When I expressed surprise in the form of "that's it? No cups?", and she snapped at me: you can ask for it, but you can't complain. Excuse me? As if she was doing me a favor. The ramen itself is really nonremarkable to say the least. The broth is dense but lacks flavors. The noodles are not well cooked and the worst, they put kimchi on top of every bowl without asking, and I never had ramen in Japan that automatically comes with kimchi. Never. It seems like a trick but at least people need to consent to it because not everyone is so keen on fermented food, period. All I can say is: don't go for the hype, unless you are eager to be scolded by servers because you don't want to drink water from a plastic bottle in a sit-down restaurant.

Soy ramen was way too salty, couldn't finish the broth. The pork topping tasted old and gave me indigestion.

Ramen is the whole point, and it is excellent. A well hidden restaurant, friendly personnel and a great price in the very center of Amsterdam.

Delicious ramen and luckily enough napkins to wear as bibs

From an Asian’s standpoint, this is a bit too much overrated. It is definitely not an authentic Japanese ramen store though the food quality is fine.

The ramen was amazing. Chewy noodles and tasty broth. The miso was a bit salty though. The staff was very friendly and the prices were fair.

Great and fast service, excellent food and easy going over all mood, right on the price too,

We went here Friday after noon. It was busy. Only one lady working on the floor. She was very cool and handling everywhere( cleaning tables, welcoming customers, receiving payment, serving food etc etc) without being stressed. Respect for her. Maybe one more helper on the floor would be better. The menu is very simple and easy to choose. The food is ok. I would recommend and come again here when will be back in Amsterdam.

Small restaurant serving ramen and gyoza, informal setting, beautiful view of the canal. We tried the different types of ramen and also a portion of gyoza, all very good. Friendly staff, they were available to give us a car seat for the one year old girl who was with us.

Is there a name for being the OG and the GOAT at the same time? Yes, Taka Ramen. 10 years being undefeated. Try it and you’ll open your eyes.

Good place, somewhat difficult to find and quite poorly signposted. You have to take the elevator to the fourth floor to reach the restaurant. Good ramen.

The miso and soy ramen were very good and the size was quite large.

Nice location. Very good ramen. Not expensive.

Delicious ramen with good views of the canal. The waitress is lovely. The place is quite small and you have to take the lift to the 4th floor. ideal

The best ramen in town so far. Tan Tan men is just super yummy. The broth is thick but not heavy. No extra condiments needed. Delicious as it served. Their gyoza is irresistible. If you sit by the window, you will be spoiled by typical Amsterdam view. Always interesting. The meals are served very quickly. Be ready to wait in the queue. If you sit at the bar table, then you can chat with Taka who is very friendly.

the food is absolutely splendid. The broth of the tan tan men noodles is so rich, I 100% recommend trying it. I love that it’s located on the 4th floor of the supermarket (toko dun yong) making it easier to buy a mochi for dessert!

I've been here multiple times, and the chef still amazes me. The food is delicious, and there is great service, that's fast too.

Fantastic ramen, really good. The service was unbelievably bad. Our waitress was so extremely rude, it almost ruined the meal

A few years ago we recognized this as a hidden treasure. It was messy but delicious. The cook cooked in the middle of the place and also served it. The sea food pancake was delicious. with tables here and there and people were seated at a large table. Delicious . Now everything is very neat in the business. But the ramen was no ramen for me and certainly the plain boiled egg that was in it was a disappointment. Fortunately, there are many other ramen places in Amsterdam where it is still very good. Shame about this place!!!

De ramen soep was vroeger heerlijk hier . Nu is daar niks meer van over .. zelfs het ei is een gewoon gekookt ei . Jammer van dit zaakje echt slecht geworden .

we were 3 people, the waitress welcomed us directly upon arriving on the stairs and served us about 5-10 minutes after we were seated at the table. excellent and hot ramen. I highly recommend

Food was OK but not the best ramen I had. Tan tan men had waaay too much oil added. The egg was overcooked. Service lady was very bossy. There were 2 empty seats at the bar but she said it would be too crowded and made us wait for a table. But then made the next couple who arrived after us sit at the bar anyways, while we were still waiting for a table.

One of the best in the city, just like nam kee you come for the etching not the atmosphere

Great ramen and very good shop on the lower floors. Can be quite busy around lunch.

recommend! There are only three types of ramen on the menu, soy sauce, miso and vegetarian, as well as the spicy Japanese Sichuan Dandan noodles. delicious. The location of the restaurant is hard to find. Go first to the Chinese Super League and then to the fourth floor.

Dirty/fatty style of ramen. Good, but nothing groundbreaking. Nice for a bite if you're in the area.

Quite a hearty meal, but incredibly tasty

The service is quick and everything is very clean. However the food is bland especially for the limited menu options. Also at their price point you can get a lot better.

Taka is the best!! With Kiki & Kin in the service is amazing

1. The ramen broth was not seasoned well, lacked depth and probably time. It was also very greasy until the last bite due to the oil. 2. Because the broth was not well seasoned, the toppings such as Kimchi were much too strong, it also contained pickled ginger as a topping, which is far too intense in terms of taste and in my opinion does not fit in a good bowl of ramen. 3. The noodles hardly had any taste, in combination with a tasteless broth this didn't really help. 4. The egg and chashu were tasty. All in all, not worth repeating for us and therefore one to quickly forget, unfortunately, quite an expensive joke at almost €17 for a bowl.

I’ve had ramen here several times over the years. In the past I was a fan but the recipe seems to have changed. The new recipe is okay as a unique interpretation of ramen, but it is not really what I expect when I want a bowl of ramen - I personally prefer more subtle flavors. During my last 2 visits I found the broth to be heavy with lots of oil, very strongly flavored with lots of ginger and with a very thick consistency. Standard toppings include kimchi, which is also very strongly flavored with a lot of garlic. Overall nothing wrong with the dish per se, the portions are decent and the quality is good, but the flavors are just not my thing. I don’t suppose I will visit again even though I really love the location.

我真的抱着很大的期望爬上了高高的楼梯！ 但是两碗拉面都很咸很咸，我这辈子从没吃过这么咸的食物。 日本拉面怎么会做得这么难吃，是我在阿姆斯特丹吃到的最难吃的一家！避雷！

Wir waren zu zweit mit einem Kinderwagen für unseren kleinen Zwergspitz (Dieser ist komplett drumherum geschlossen). Wir wurden nach oben in das Restaurant geschickt um dann wieder rausgeschmissen zu werden. Danke für gar nichts!! Sehr unfreundliches Personal, nicht mal ein „sorry“ oder sonst was… Wir wurden rausgeführt, begleitend mit Personal, als wären wir Hochverbrecher. Keine Empfehlung meinerseits!

I came for lunch around 3pm on a Friday so there was no waiting. I asked for a recommendation and went for the spicy tan tan men which ended up being a great choice. A deep flavor with fresh ingredients and just spicy enough to make your mouth water. Will be coming back!

Definitely worth a visit. The restaurant is on the 4th floor of an Asian market where you can buy everything from fruit and vegetables to rice and chopsticks and furnishings. The restaurant has a small but very good menu. The service was super nice and quick. The view over Amsterdam while eating is also a positive surprise

Delicious food. The quality of the windows is top notch! Perfect proportions

A humble unpretentious eatery with good ramen that is hard to find these days. (Also literally hard to find because it is on the fourth floor of the Asian supermarket. I like my ramen and my broth thick so this is my place. The topping consists of kimchi, chasyu and a soft boiled eggs among others. Great taste and very chill atmosphere

Very good service and incredible ramen and mochis 💖

I have been so unfathomably ill during the first week of school, and after suffering through another painful Dutch class I came here to eat. I was recommended this place by a staff member at my program - it did not disappoint. Trekking up four flights of an Asian department store was well worth it, the ramen was fantastic and the atmosphere spot on. Perhaps I am cured?

Oooo my..,. This Ramen is epic! The best I've tried in the Netherlands so far. Loved it!

This is the absolute best ramen I've ever eaten and I've tried many in different countries. Wish I was still in Amsterdam just to go again

Hearsay isn't always what it's cracked up to be. After standing on the stairs for a while, we were assigned a table and again waited a long time as other tables ordered first. Ordered 3 different noodles, the flavors did not differ much. Ordered 1 portion of noodles without pork, which turned out to be vegetarian, as it contained no meat. Pity, and no communication about it either. I also ordered 1 portion of dim sum, which was forgotten and ended up being halfway through the noodle soup. Very unfortunate, but you can find a lot in the store, including: spices and kitchen accessories.

Vanwege de review hier gegeten maar erg zout en bij varken allergie krijgt u gewoon een vegetarische soep... de 3 smaken op het menu verschillen niet veel van elkaar. Lang op de trap gewacht, en vervolgens was er bij het bestellen ook geen goede volgorde waardoor we weer erg lang gewacht hebben.

For me this is a hidden gem. Very small and easy menu - three ramen soups (one vegetarian option) some different starters. Loved the miso ramen (rather thick broth). It is on the top floor of a big Asian shop, this makes this place and the experience authentic. Restaurant is small so be prepared for half an hour queue around lunch time.

The best ramen EVER. I never ate something so delicious and tasty. 10/10

The best Ramen in Amsterdam bar none!

Ramen was OK but not really warm and also had a very bitter taste. No extras, no toppings available.

Kimchi here seems to have lost it way and ended up in the ramen. On the contrary, succulent slices of chashu are nowhere to be found.

i was really excited to try this place because of the positive reviews. it took a while to finally make time for this, because it never fitted my schedule to visit during the afternoon. basically they sort of have the same kind of soup with the toppings but every bowl is tweaked a little differently. i ordered the miso ramen, as you can see in the picture it was well plated, but when i tried the soup it was really thick and not really liquid, as if there had been added quite some -starch. that kind of affected the taste and experience for me. personally, the ginger in the ramen was not really my thing either and overall, it was okay for me. but sadly not to be repeated!

This is more like homemade food than restaurant food! And I mean that as a compliment! The broth of the ramen is very umami, the noodles very chewy. Yeah this is really as good as it gets. Prepare to stand in line though.

Probably the best ramen I’ve tried so far in Amsterdam! Tan Tan Men was incredible, ramen egg was perfectly done, flavor was on point and they add kimchi inside which is a really nice touch! It’s fairly spicy so if you can’t handle spice I’d suggest choosing one of the other options on the menu. Menu is small but executed perfectly which I appreciate about places like this one. They are open only for lunch so plan accordingly, mind that it’s usually packed so if you’re in a group you might have to wait a few minutes. I would definitely put it on your list if you enjoy exploring Asian cuisine. I’ll be going back for sure!

Very impressive broth and the kimchi topping is unusual but awesome.

Advice from the locals. Omg tasty Ramen 🍜 for 16,5€. The portion is huge (couldn’t finish) No reservation and just a few tables . Payment just with cards .

Amazing ramen the one you can find in this small restaurant which is kind of hidden. Worth it to wait the queue in case you go during the weekend. The service was really kind and the food came quite quickly. 100% recommendable!

great ramen, and some life changing gyoza- possibly the best i've ever had.

They should have a vegan option, it’s just vegetarian

Lekker eten, wel snel komen anders staat er een rij

Ik heb hier vanmiddag gegeten het was super lekker en de ramen was goed en snel bereid en de dumplins waren zeer sappig. De service was snel en aardig en de sfeer was heel gezellig. Vandaar de 5 sterren.

Interieur is ongelooflijk lelijk, en er is totaal geen sfeer. Maar Taka maakt echt heerlijke ramen, nog nooit een ramen met kimchi gehad maar een heerlijke toevoeging. Normaal bij ramen charsiu pork maar hij doet het met een soort stoof vlees wat ook top was. Ik heb de ei liever een beetje vloeibaar van binnen deze was doorgekookt. Heerlijk gegeten. 2 personen 2 ramen was 33,90 euro. Side dishes zal ik niet adviseren die komen allemaal van dun yong toko en is niet huisgemaakt.

Best ramen in Amsterdam for sure.

Best ramen ever tried. Say delicious…is nothing…it’s a must 🍜🍜🍜🍜
