The best street food venues of type "Japanese Cuisine" in Dusseldorf
Cool takoyaki snack bar in Düsseldorf's "Little Tokyo". Originally from Osaka, the octopus balls are the epitome of the Japanese snack and are prepared in the typical frying iron. Crispy, hot and delicious! Mayo sauce and mentaiko mayonnaise are a hit.
Aesthetic Japanese fusion burger spot with hype factor. It's not just the service, freshness and flavour that stand out, but also the inclusive concept. The creations based on fluffy, lightly baked buns are available with meat, shrimp, tofu, vegetarian, vegan and halal options.
Japan bar for Japan fans and anyone who wants to become one. The cuisine is spicy, hearty and really good. With omurice with fried oysters, karaage platter or takoyaki, you'll forget that you have to eat standing up. The deep-fried dough balls with octopus are a must.
Japanese restaurant with a simple, charming atmosphere and an exciting repertoire of dishes. You have to try the okonomiyaki in particular, for example with pork and kimchi. Also delicious: deep-fried squid tentacles, octopus balls and Japanese-style fried noodles.
With its cool interior architecture and anime-inspired design, this colourful restaurant sets new standards in terms of fast food aesthetics. It serves snacks, sushi and soups, all of which really hit the spot: Pommes Furikake, Samurai Dream Roll, Cheesy Ramen and Spicy Shoyu-Goma Tantanmen.
Asian fusion cuisine at upmarket prices, partly due to the exclusive décor with marble, jade and bling-bling. The quality of the fish and seafood is high and the glamorously staged, mostly Japanese-inspired creations taste excellent.
Karaage art in Flingern-Nord: here you can find the juiciest, crispiest and tastiest chicken pieces in the city. Kensuke "Kenny" Yano's small street snack bar also has a lot to offer: Japanese curry with udon noodles, matcha ice cream and hospitality.
Düsseldorf's famous ramen restaurant is regarded as a benchmark for soul food. Even after all these years, the mothership of the noodle soup pioneer, which is expanding throughout Europe, still delivers daily. Those who like it rich can order tantanmen, a sesame and miso broth with pork, vegetables and karaage.
Waiting times are almost a given at Takumi, but here it doesn't take too long to sit in front of a steaming bowl of tonkotsu ramen. The thickly cooked pork broth - vegetarian and miso-based - is served with thin, light-coloured noodles and all kinds of toppings.
Comfort food in Japanese. The various noodle soup dishes such as tokusei stamina, a ramen with thin slices of pork belly and vegetables, or mabomen with tofu and minced meat are the perfect tummy warmers and equally good soul warmers after a long day.
Popular, no longer quite so cheap Izakaya restaurant in "Little Tokyo". Sushi, sashimi and the various yakitori skewers from the charcoal grill are of good to excellent quality. If you don't make a reservation, you often have to wait a little. The front section is more cosy.
Japanese classics with a subdued atmosphere and a pleasantly limited menu selection. Chirashi sushi and sashimi are still (very) good, and the eel and tofu dishes are also delicious. Overall, however, the quality has noticeably declined recently - a pity.
Still an insider tip, but the karaage is really good: crispy on the outside, juicy and meaty on the inside. If you love ramen, you can get it here in three classic versions: Shoyu ramen with a soy sauce base, miso ramen with lots of umami and shio ramen with a subtle salty flavour.
