Reviews
"The food came out suspiciously fast and did not taste fresh at all. Both times I’ve come food has not been appetising, and I’ve tried a variety of dishes - sushi, curry, noodles, ramen. All are below average and lack any real flavour. Avoid the edamame beans as well. Staff also made us feel unwelcome by giving us the cheque to pay while we were still eating. And they were watching us until we finished. 2 strikes for Takeichi and I will not return for to be disappointed for a 3rd time."
"Absolute must if u like Japanese food and are in town! We came on Friday for lunch.We were given two warm hand towels on arrival. Such a nice gesture. Place filled up fairly quickly after we sat down. I ordered umeshu (plum wine), that I wanted to try for a very long time. Very delicious - not last time I am having that one. We had 2 bowls of ramen (clear chicken ramen and creamy chicken ramen) with extra toppings and both were prepared very fats and were super delicious. The place is beautifully done. Currently live painting event we have enjoyed watching. Fantastic decore, music and atmosphere is just right. Staff was very pleasant and attentive. And once at checkout you can buy a little themed souvenirs such as origami. Enjoyed our visit veré very much."
"We mostly get pork ramens and this is our first time having the chicken variety - found them pretty good. Very tasty, flavourful, clean ramen. I like that they don't use the funky-type ramen noodles. The spicy ramen is too gently-spiced and needs to be level-up. The takoyaki serving is too small for the price. Mochi ice cream was a nice finish to the meal."
"Best ramen restaurant in New Zealand with unparalleled service and atmosphere! Me and my friends went to this restaurant a few weeks ago in search of a good ramen restaurant in Dunedin, we ordered the *rich in collagen* ramen, absolutely fabulous, it is the best ramen I had in NZ, and we are now regulars of the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant is also stunning, and price of food is not too expensive as well."
