About this place
Thin slices of chashu spread across the bowl and a generous mound of spring onions make the Takumi Chashu-men a satisfying choice when you’re hungry. Some diners have noted that the topping includes plenty of lean chashu, easy to eat with the noodles. Others describe a generously filled bowl with spring onions, chashu and menma. It’s a good way to enjoy the house’s pork-and-soy ramen with all its toppings.
For a lighter change of pace, there’s chūka soba in a clear soy-sauce broth. Diners who have tried both report that Takumi ramen comes with thin straight noodles, while the chūka soba is served with medium-thick, curly noodles. The difference is in the noodles as well as the broth: choose the richer pork-and-soy bowl with its substantial toppings, or the lighter chūka soba. Ordering different bowls to share is another option.
The menu also lists wonton ramen and tsukemen, with a choice of hot or cold noodles. Gyoza or mildly spicy fried chicken make handy sides, and beer is available too. Diners have reported ordering the tsukemen hot, or enjoying beer and gyoza at lunchtime, so there are options beyond making noodles the sole focus of the meal.
The restaurant is in the Hyakumanben area, and reports describe a counter-only dining room, which can suit a solo meal. The listed information says it serves lunch and dinner, closing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On the other days, it is open from 11:00 until 0:00 the following day.
