An absolutely amazing place! We came here for dinner tonight and were completely delighted. The ramen is incredible so rich, absolutely delicious, and authentic. The service is also top-notch; all the staff members are extremely friendly and welcoming. We would especially like to thank the wonderful lady who served us for the two amazing teas. This warm gesture on her part made our evening truly special and memorable. Thank you so much for such wonderful hospitality, we will definitely be back!

I was walking back to my hotel and there were few dining options so I stopped in with low expectations. Takumi was delicious! I had the bento box and everything was fresh and delicious! The French house wine was also very good. Highly recommend.
