Reviews for Takumen in Long Island City, NY
The place had a nice ambience and the servers were really nice. There was unfortunately no dish in particular that stood out as... amazing or particularly memorable. The ajitama egg was certainly overcooked. It was pretty decent Japanese fusion food I wouldsay. My favorite dish was surprisingly the cilantro chicken ramen, very comfort foody, would order that again. Read more
Really good neo Japanese restaurant! Reminds me of what my mom cooks at home in Japan<3 This place feels like a modern cafe... restaurant in Tokyo. Clean, stylish, and good jazz music. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic modern Japanesefood! Read more
new American izakaya! Cozy summer island vibes inside (also outside seats). The staff is very attentive to have your order and... prepare our seats even though we haven’t make a reservation. We walk in on a weekend noon. We got ramen (one is shio ramenwith mucho cilantro) delicious and refresh. However, the drinks macha americano taste less caffeinated than expected. For icedmacha latte with almond milk, milk flavor is stronger than macha. If you happened to be nearby and willing to try outnon-traditional Japanese food, come visit. They have plenty options from noodles to rice bowl. Maybe to check out their dinnerand alcohol next time. Read more
Such a great place tucked away from the busy streets of LIC. Everything was delicious and the vibe was spot on. We tried some of... their favorite options which includes karagge, curry, and cold noodles. Stop by if you’re in the area because you definitelywon’t be disappointed! Read more
Loved traveling by to find awesome food. I love having Japanese in the city. I love their menu as it was creative! My kids got... the kids ramen with a toy which they both loved. I got the chicken rice bowl that was very delicious! I love all the differentflavors! Staff were friendly and welcoming when we walked in. Prices were good. They had both indoor and outdoor dining. Wedidn’t get our meals out at the same time however we had a nice time that it didn’t bother us. I appreciate the kids eatingfirst anyways. Thank you! We don’t come to this area often but I definitely recommend and shared on my fb with my friends andfamily! ?????? Read more
pros: the food was fresh, kind wait staff and fun atmosphere. cons: the service was incredibly slow. it took 20 minutes for the... waitress to even come to our table, and just as long to get the check. A large table that came in after us got served muchfaster, but the smaller tables were neglected. it’s small and cramped inside, with one bathroom so a line forms for itquickly. for a place that charges premium pricing for ramen, service should be better. In an area that has a lot of goodoptions, this doesn’t cut it. Read more
Takumen has been on our bucket list for a while and we finally got a chance to visit. Their decor is artsy and cool with cozy... ambiance & modern furniture. There are Japanese tableware, stationery and adorable ornaments available for sale. The foodoptions on the menu were decent and we got 2 bowls of Spicy Goma Miso Ramen, Soy Garlic Wings, Panko Ebi-Katsu and Avocado Saladto share with a group of 4 adults and 1 kid. The portion was good enough with a little high price in our opinions. We lovetheir chicken wings so much, which was flavorful and juicy. My husband preferred their broth of ramen, which was rich & creamy,but it's too salty for me. The fried shrimp was kind of overcooked and dry inside but with crunchy layer. There is both indoor(vaccination cards required) & outdoor seating available but it's super popular that reservation is highly recommended. Read more
