Umaimon in De Weteringschans

Nice little eatery with decent noodles

The food was tasty and served quickly, so I have no complaints about the food itself. However, the service was quite disappointing. It was a weekday and the restaurant was not busy, yet the waiter walked past me several times without greeting me or offering me a drink. I eventually had to get his attention myself, otherwise I felt like I would have been completely overlooked. I also noticed another customer trying to get his attention because she wanted to ask something, but he ignored her. She eventually sighed in frustration. Unfortunately, I had a very similar experience. The food was good, but the service definitely needs improvement. A simple greeting and paying a little more attention to customers would have made a big difference.

The ramen was quite good, but not mind blowing. The curry and the meat were nice, also very big portions. Would not recommend the gyoza though

Everything is amazing and wonderful ❤️ good service, delicious 😋 😍 and yummy yummy food, place look clean lovely people, feeling comfortable while enjoying your warm meal

Food literally came within a minute of ordering, yakitori was cold, gzoya were cold but even if they were hot they wouldn't have tasted spectacular anyway. Spoke to manager and was told a lot of fluff about it being freshly cooked, sorry but you can't cook chicken that quickly. I was told you should have said, well I would have if staff checked to see how everything was but it seemed they were doing their level best to avoid the customers altogether. Appalling, would have been better going to Febo

I’m a frequent customer at this restaurant because I absolutely love the food, but there’s one server who always makes my friends and me feel extremely unwelcome. It’s a shame because I love eating here whenever I receive good service alongside a great dish. Today especially was truly disappointing, I don’t think I’ve ever received such unfriendly service at a restaurant before. I don’t think I’ll be returning, which is a shame because this used to be my favorite ramen restaurant.

An amazing experience of tasting ramen in Amsterdam! Don't miss it!

Fantastic food, great efficient service typical of Japanese restaurants. Vegetarian gyozos and miso soup were delicious, also Chicken katsu. The homemade mint and lemon iced tea was really excellent too.

Good authentic ramen about €15 each bowl. The ramen portion is big with lots of meat. They also have curry rice and side dishes. Tap water on the house is available. Vegan options are available. (Prices are now about €19 for ramen in 2025)

I’ve been here more than 10 times and always order the same thing because it never disappoints! The food is consistently good, and the service is always fast. Definitely one of my go-to places at Leidseplein. 🍜✨

Delicious ramen dishes, hearty and not too expensive

Highly recommend for a good ramen. Staff is friendly, environment is quiet and food is great.

Very tasty, quiet and perfect for relaxing.

Great food options and nothing will disappoint! The portions are generous and the service is great!

The blonde Naruto Dattebayo ramen guy is a legend! Delicious ramen

Good eats. Very generous portions.

Amazing atmosphere and incredible chicken ramen! Located in a great spot near Leidseplein. The broth was rich and full of flavor. Definitely one of the best ramen spots in Amsterdam. Highly recommended!

Everything was amazing: service, ambiance, and especially the food! Best Ramen in Amsterdam for sure! Get the #1 with the fried chicken! It was the best I've ever had in my life!

Had a delicious meal! Service perfect!

Very good ramen! Nice price. Good location!

The Black garlic buta miso ramen is marvelous! So tasty! And very speedy service at a Saturday night. Also the homemade ice tea is delicious...😋😋

Wow, what an experience. I always love me a good bowl of Ramen and this spot does not let you down. I got the cashu spicy chicken ramen and you should to. Phew. Leaving full, warm and VERRY excited to come back.

The ramen was delicious, and the shrimp ramen is definitely my favorite. A special thanks to the Portuguese guy, for the friendly, attentive, and outstanding service.

The ramen is decent... but there is too much rice in the katsudon. Overall, the lighting is too dark.

Fantastically good ramen! Everyone in the group was very satisfied.

An average, good ramen restaurant where you can't go wrong.

Delicious ramen, and it was more than enough. Cozy atmosphere inside too.

It's the best ramen place in the city. They nail the egg, nice and runny and everything is delicious. Just go here!!!!!!!@

Very nice Japanese food, friendly service

What a wonderful experience here. Everything we were served looked fantastic and tasted even better. The ramen, in particular, was a real winner, with those perfectly grilled pieces of pork and the fresh spring onion that really finished it off. The fried snacks with a slice of lemon were also a huge hit with our party. The plates were cleared down to the last bite. We had a wonderful evening here and will definitely be back.

Good atmosphere and delicious ramen. We would love to come back here again soon.

Fast excellent service, food is delicious

Outstanding black garlic noukou ramen. One of the best I've had!

I am tourist to Amsterdam its was the best ramen i ever ate! I recommend it for all Plus staff was amazing with great service.

Aside from the strange design of the sink in the restroom (no matter how hard you try, your hand hits the wall and you can't wash it properly, making it unsanitary) and the fact that there are signs for Oronamin C and Fanta but they're not on the menu (they do have Kirin Beer), it's absolutely fantastic ◎ If you ask me if it's ramen, I can't deny that it feels more like an Asian-style noodle dish, but the taste was seriously delicious.

Okay, this is a great ramen experience! Te flavors of the Mala Chicken Noukou ramen are truly lively. Normally i would expect more meat in the bowl but i wasn't super hungry. Still, this was a great choice. The avocado salade is also a must try. Fresh and flavory. The service is good. Dutch or/and english speaking. Music isn't too loud and the restaurant noices are a perfect match with the interior. I will definetly will eat here again! Quantity: 9 Flavors: 9 Service: 9 Ambiance: 9

Excellent ramen. I'm a regular at the Takumi family. If you haven't tried #1 yet, go for it. Best ever. It's sad they don't have that in other takumis. One point of improvement could be to ask people not to smoke in front of the entrance because the little room before the entrance door gets full of smoke.

I was curious because they were looking for a good restaurant relatively close to the hotel located in the Museum Quarter, and it was an excellent discovery, from the service which was very good to the dishes, the service was fast and the food was excellent. A place I will definitely return to on another visit.

Cute waitresses and delicious ramen!! I chose creamy chicken… my Beautiful wife chose pork miso!! Delicious!! Nice ambiance, full house, everybody enjoying their ramen!! Good location. Authentic! Arigato Takumi staff

It was a bit crowded, but don't let that put you off; the staff will try to find you a table. We thought everything was delicious!

"What shall we eat?" was the conversation around 6:00 PM. Well, there is so much choice in town. How about ramen? Nah... no noodle soup. But wait, they have another version, and yes, without the soup. Perfect! The food was good, the atmosphere was great, and it really fills up. So apparently it is very popular. Service with a smile. It is much cozier inside than on the street side. If you prefer taking snapshots of people walking by, then the street side is for you. Good luck.

Simply the best place to go for ramen. Nuff said 😎

A wonderful Japanese restaurant! The food is fantastic, and the authentic atmosphere makes you feel like you’re dining in Japan. 100% recommended!

The food is really good. The portions are big. Although prices are not low it's a good place to eat. Service is also outstanding.

Probably in my top 5 ramen, the chashu broth is perfect, fatty and very tasty, though I wish it had a Little bit more meat. Get it spicy If You can handle.

The staff's customer service was really bad.

A simple and super efficient restaurant; the dishes are served quickly, and we found them tasty.

I went here back in 2023 with my Dad. It was amazing. Came back in 2026 with my girlfriend. The spicy ramen with the chicken goyoza was amazing and the best I have ever had.

Decent spot to get some food in Amsterdam especially when you have the munchies!

Very tasty ramen, the tastiest in Europe

Delicious food, also great for eating alone.

Outstanding Black Garlic Chashu Ramen 🖤 This satisfied every craving I had for umami and garlic, it's a deep rich broth balanced with hints of pepper and sesame oil. Finished every drop and just as good as ramen we had in Tokyo. The chicken katsu curry, miso soup, and kaarage were also satisfying. The restaurant is also cozy and service was great. Will come back!!!

Four years ago I lived in Amsterdam and went out for dinner with some friends. I ate really well, even though I’m not usually a fan of this type of cuisine. Every time I’ve come back to Amsterdam, it’s been a must-stop. Yesterday I went again, and it never disappoints. A safe bet for dinner.

It was delicious. I tried numbers R2 and R8; the Spicy one was tasty. The spicy takoyaki was a bit disappointing, though... The Bungeoppang for dessert was crispy and delicious. The Dutch waiter, who looked like Naruto, had a tsundere-like indifferent expression, but was surprisingly kind—providing bowls for serving—which touched me (he anticipated the customer's needs). I really enjoyed the meal.

Nice place with really good ramen.

There was a large group of men near our table who were being loud. It was very tiring and uncomfortable. Despite our requests for politeness, they didn't react. I'm a frequent guest at your restaurant; your food is always fresh and always tastes good. But the noise level could be compared to a club's commotion. You can't eat in peace or have a normal conversation.

The food was tasty; the ramen dish was nice and hot, whereas the curry dish was on the cold side but otherwise tasted good. Service, however, was a bit of a downside. We had to wait well over 10 minutes, after which we had to signal a staff member ourselves before we could place our order. The staff also came across as quite unfriendly in general. My girlfriend received her curry quite quickly, but I didn't get my ramen until almost 10 minutes later, by which time my girlfriend was already halfway through her dish. Communication among the staff also didn't seem to be going very well. We were told several times that the staff were serving drinks or dishes that the guests themselves had not ordered. The atmosphere also seemed quite noisy, even though there were hardly any other guests.

Getting cheaper with these 3 micro slices of meat and lack of black garlic in the broth

Great authentic ramen at a reasonable price in a lovely setting.

Delicious as always, fast and reliable!

Many vegan options. Black garlic ramen was fantastic. So was Gyoza.

Best ramen in Europe! Katsu curry was delish too!

Great place! Friendly staff and incredibly delicious food. Everything is fresh and handmade. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, good and fast service with friendly staff

Been here twice now, always so SO delicious. Will come here everytime i'm in Amsterdam from now on.

My favourite ramen restaurant in Amsterdam. Ramen is super delicious and definitely worth the price. There is a wide range of ramen. The service is lovely and quick. Love this place 🥹

The ramen is very good, the service is fast and friendly, the place is big and nice

Awesome food. Tastes like in Japan! Thank you for the delicious meal.

very delicious food. great variety. kind staff. amazing atmosphere

The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is homey and inviting, and the staff are very welcoming. I really do not have any complaints.

The food was so delicious that I'm still thinking about it at 2 in the evening (my friends said they were doing the same!) we will be back soon for the delicious hot food, the relaxed atmosphere, the good service and all the beautiful decoration😁👍👍

Great restaurant with great service. The ramen was amazing and puts the UKs efforts to shame. The artwork is fresh. Best hangover cure!

Friendly and professional staff, nice and casual environment, and the food tasty at a reasonable price.

Quickly grab a big portion of ramen before the concert starts. Simply good, and the place looks neat.

We order ramen mala the flavor is really nice

Excellent Asian food, like the ramen. A good option in the center of Amsterdam.

We've already eaten here twice and will probably come again before heading home. The food is delicious and hot, fast. No reservations necessary.

It's really delicious~!! The miso ramen, spicy ramen, and curry are all delicious~ The spicy ramen reminds me of Shin Ramyun~ Everything is delicious except the kimchi. The kimchi was so sour that the cabbage melted. ㅠㅠ I'm satisfied with the atmosphere, the taste, and the service.

The food was very good, perfect for warming up on these cold days. We happily returned twice during our five-day vacation! Recommended.

The restaurant was so crowded, you need a reservation... We went without one and waited for about 25 minutes... Honestly, the restaurant wasn't amazing. I tried the Japanese restaurant next door, and it was much tastier... We ordered chicken skewers, but they had a chicken smell, and we didn't like them.

We walked in and we pleased with the ambience. However, I was quite disappointed with the Ramen. I was served like warm broth with hot noodles; the broth should be hot, not luke warm... Nearly cold. Also, the Ramen was bland. This place is not worthy of 4 stars.

A must try ramen spot! It’s the perfect place to warm up on a chilly rainy night.

One of the best ramen places we’ve ever been to! I tried the spicy one, and it was really tasty.

Commercial place, the quality of the food is okay nothing special. Good if you are in the area and don’t want to wait (is without reservation also for big group) not bad but not also the favorite place that you’ll remember.

Fantastic experience, great food and friendly staff. Will return when next in Amsterdam.

The ramen is good and the service is very friendly. I liked that it was spicy, but not too hot to eat. The portion is generous and the Calpis is tasty too.

Top Tier Ramen Restaurant 🤤🤤 Would spend my v-bucks here all day!

Very good, excellent service. It's a very touristy area, but I would definitely go back!

I visited yesterday and tried the chicken ramen. To be fair, it wasn't bad, but I have to say it was pretty average, nothing special or memorable about the broth or toppings. Based on the hype, I found the overall experience and the restaurant itself to be overrated. It's fine if you're in the area, but don't go out of your way expecting a standout bowl of ramen.

We listened to my dear daughter, who said we shouldn't be prejudiced, and went in as a family. They have a very good and delicious ramen on this cold Amsterdam evening. If you ever find yourself in Amsterdam, you absolutely must visit Takumi Umaimon.

i go to takumi quite often, and this time was the first in Amsterdam. The atmosphere was great, pleasant temperature and soft music. the staff could be a bit more friendlier when taking costumers, but its not much of a bother to me. the food, i got the karaage curry & added marinated eggs extra. The eggs had little piece of eggshell that i bit on, its unpleasant to have that feeling on your teeth.. and second, when the plate just arrived at my table, some parts of the rice was hard, so i only scooped from the bottom. explained to the staff after paying, and the lovely gentleman replied accordingly and respectfully. i really like takumi. so i'll still come back at other locations.

We had a great experience in this ramen restaurant. They gave us very good seats for lunch. We ordered ramen and gyoza. The ramen was big, so the staff offered to split it for us and brought an extra bowl — it was very nice of them. I also tried the plum wine, and it was very tasty. We liked the place so much that we came back again the next day for lunch.

I ordered spicy kara-ebi kushi miso ramen - which combine crispy chicken bites and shrimp skewer with vegetables and flavorful mild spicy soup. It was really tasty - perfect for cold weather. I also had homemade ice tea with lemon and mint, was good as well, but i cannot really feel hint of lemon or mint there. Service was really nice and friendly, venue is spacious, plenty of sits. Prices are also average, they have loyalty system as well, which is very nice

It's amazing! I've been here several times and it's been perfect every time.

Good vegan options available. The vegan abura soba was absolutely delicious! Staff were friendly and helpful. The vibe in the restaurant is bright. It seems popular so try to avoid peak dinner time, or try to be early so you don't have to wait in line.

Excellent dinner, the dishes were high-quality and delicious. I highly recommend this place.

Nice restaurant! Interesting history with pictures on the wall 🌆

It's definitely worth a visit!!!

Excellent place to eat ramen even alone 😉

We're already familiar with this chain; we've been there several times in Milan. Very nice place, with a wide selection of dishes. The ramen and gyoza are very good. Service is always friendly and fast. Prices are average.
