This was the best ramen I have ever had. It was their traditional broth one. It was so rich and delicious. This place is so cute only three tables.

I did not expect to find such a delicious sushi place in Medicine Hat! The fish was fresh and delicious! I took the 15 piece omakase and it was amazing. My only complaint is they had so many different tuna options in the menu but I received only one piece of tuna nigiri and 2 shrimp nigiri (shrimp nigiri is my least favourite). It was still good but next time I’d choose my pieces instead of taking the omakase. I’m glad I got to try different types of nigiri though, they were different from I usually get and delicious! It was Halloween and mini mouse was there!

Can't say enough good about this restaurant, Everything I've ever tried here has been absolutely top notch. I like to try sushi everywhere I travel (including Japan) and this is in the top 3 sushi places I've ever eaten. The owners are great people and are always warm and welcoming. Seating is limited but the perfect amount for a restaurant like this.

Takumi’s Japanese restaurant is a tiny, super authentic restaurant that makes some of the best Japanese cuisine in Medicine Hat! This restaurant is a one man show and the chef takes a lot of pride in his food. He has cooked internationally, from Korea to Japan and I was shocked to see him working in our little town. The restaurant is small, and has seating for around ten people, so be sure to make reservations, as he works hard and fast. He does takeout as well. But be warned that they often have to turn people away or you might have to get it as takeout instead, as it’s usually very busy. The staff is super friendly and very kind though. The sushi is fabulous, the homemade, crispy pork gyoza are amazing, the yuzu chicken karage and poke salad are top notch! The ramen though, is crazy good; I have had the black truffle ramen and curry ramen and they are ridiculously delicious. The truffle toro aburi nigiri is a must try too. Amazing food from one lone chef; Medicine Hat is lucky to have Takumi! Great sushi too!

Warm & family-run restaurant with delicious menu. Food is outstanding and meticulously balanced, planned, and executed. I don't think I give compliments lightly, but this place far exceeded my expectations and I would visit Medicine Hat again to drop by in a heartbeat!

My husband and I started the tradition of going to Takumi for ramen for my birthday a few years ago. We just finished my annual meal tonight and I’m SO freaking happy. My husband got the karaage ramen and I got the chili crab, and we shared the number 23 sushi between us. It tasted incredible. The service is always friendly and even though it’s a bit slow, that’s because the chef is busy making magic food. In a world of fast food, this is one meal worth waiting for.

Finally got to try the ramen everyone’s been raving about!! Took dad here, I had the spiciest ramen bowl on the menu, dad had the fried chicken ramen. Both were amazing!!! Enough leftovers for another good meal! Then went again with some friends the following month!

Best restaurant in Medicine Hat. Very small with seating for only 10, for the best experience without all the noise and bustle of the crowds. Food and service is top notch. If you want AUTHENTIC Japanese food, this is the place to go. We go there at least once every two weeks. EDIT: it’s been 3 years, and this is STILL our favourite date night spot. The food is always amazing, and Chef and his wife are so friendly and provide such a happy and welcoming atmosphere. We regularly recommend Takumi to anyone and everyone, for a great dining explanation, every time we have the chance.

If I could only choose one place to crush my cravings for great Japanese food after staying all over Japan for months, it would be here. The Hakata Tonkatsu ramen is AWESOME, like I stepped off a plane right back in Fukuoka, and it is hot and FRESH. The salmon is very high quality and tastes better than most places Ive been, and the Yam tempura slices are BIG and offer great value for your money. With a few Japanese beers on hand and a compact but cozy atmosphere, its easily had the best Izakaya vibes Ive found anywhere in Southern Alberta. My only complaint is that I cant rate it higher on Google, if you like great Ramen and quality sushi, youve gotta eat here

★★★★★
October 22, 2024

The best restaurant in Medicine Hat, hands down. Small, locally owned spot. As I told my wife, this is the only restaurant where Im willing to sit next to front door as long as I can get in to eat. Any choice of Ramen for the win.

Best Japanese food in 200km radius.

October 22, 2024

First time it was happened to us and I can t even imagine that this service experience was very terrible! From the beginning the waitress was rude, she don t know how to say please! Food was ok! I can t believe that the waitress are asking for the tip after i pay my Bill. It was so rude. Why she need to ask for the tip? That is up to the customers if they want or not? Its not a mandatory. I don t believe to her that the owner is asking for the tip? The owner needs to thank if there s someone who comes and purchase from the restaurant. The waitress is insisting my god! I have cash put on the table before i left that embarrassing experience i change my mind. I been working in the hospitality for more than 15years but i never been trained my staff to do the same thing. Tips is the reflection of their service. Tips is only an extra. I will never come back again.

Anyone not giving this place 5 stars is insane. The food is probably the best Ive ever had in 20 years of living in canada. Its melt in your mouth sushi can not give enough stars. Ive eaten sushi in the best restaurants in western Canada from thunderbay to Vancouver and none have ever come close to this location. The chef is a master of his craft along with his wife who can take full orders without writing anything down. Wish I lived in medicine hat just so I could eat here on a regular basis. If you like sushi you need to eat here, you wont be disappointed. Please medicine hat treat these people like family, you wont get better sushi in your lifetime. Should be $50 per roll its that good.

I m a seniors and from time to time I treat myself with a meal out. About a week ago I went here which I often do and my bill for take out came to $14.12. I gave the young man working there a $20 bill and he said loudly how much change or is it a tip. I was embarrassed and then asked or $2 back. I ve always tipped 10% and this was disrespectful and embarrassing. I ll hesitate to go back in there the foods ok though

This is an excellent restaurant. Fantastic ramen and homemade gyoza. I recommend ordering the Lion King roll, it is one of the best sushi rolls Ive ever had.

Great place to eat decent quality sushi in Medicine Hat. Family owned, and it shows that the owner loves his work. The food tasted great, although some of sashimi was not fully thawed out. The only downside is that the place is small so you may not be able to find a seat at certain times, or for larger groups.

I recently visited Takumu restaurant and was blown away. The menu featured a variety of different ramen bowls, each with its own unique combination of broth, noodles, and toppings. I opted for the truffel ramen, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. The noodles were perfectly cooked and had a nice chew to them. And the toppings - including tender slices of pork, were fresh and delicious. The only downside is the egg was overcooked. Yolk was not runny. However the broth was so good it didnt matter. On par with some ramen place i had in japan

Passed by Medicine Hat, wanted to get a Chirashi Don because it s perfect for lunch when weather is getting warm. It came with a miso soup; soup was deliciously rich in flavour. You can tell a lot about a Japanese restaurant from its miso soup. The portion and the amount of different fish in the bowl are enough to put a lot of Japanese restaurants in big cities to shame for the same price ($23). The rice is well cooked and seasoned. Chirashi Don rice is tricky, but the chef managed to balance the vinegar level pretty well. Will come back if passing by Swift Current again.

Found a hidden gem for sushi (nigiri) lovers. Do yourself a favor and order a 15 piece chef selection set. Culinary skills on cutting fish slice is superior. Fresh ingredients, nice vinegary favor rice. Complement wasabi with real Japanese horseradish. This is not an ordinary sushi that you found in buffet. The store is small and slow pace. Be patient to wait for your treasure. It takes time to create good memories. Thanks Chef SeHo

Unfortunately my experience in this place was bad. I drove long way from another city and I was so hungry, when I ordered ramen and sat to wait for my order, chef came to me and said that I can t eat inside, because I made order near the casier . I told him that I didn t know about this rule, but still he was rude and continued to say something, like I can t share my ramen with my husband (ramen was really big and I couldn t finish it by myself ). He said if my husband wants to sit here with me, he must to order something, but he wasn t hungry. Ramen was not bad, but he spoiled my mood with his face and words. Of course I never will come back to this place, because they don t know how to talk with customers, better to find place with polite service. I spent 20$ for ramen in that place, paid for service but got bad mood and experience in the end

If you have a craving for sushi, ramen, poke, Bento or anything else Japanese (or regionally related); you gotta check this place out. (The salad looked nicer than it does in the image, I couldnt help but take a bite before I took a picture haha.)

Exceeded all expectations. Very tasty broth and chashu (better than some places in Calgary). The food tastes like it is made with love. So delicious I had to go twice in a week. Thanks for being amazing!

I would give 0 stars if I could. Refused to serve a family with a toddler. We waited at the door till 5 mins after the opening time before they finally opened the door and then told us they would not serve us as we had a toddler and they have no high chair. I said they used to have one and they said now it is broken. So I said that s okay he can sit on my lap. They said no all the larger tables have reservations(there was not one person in the restaurant). I said that s okay we can push the 2 smaller ones together and they still refused to serve us. It was just them making up one excuse after the other till we finally conceded and just left. It s too bad because I ve enjoyed their food in the past but the service has always been terrible. Kid-friendliness: Obviously not kid friendly as they refused to serve my son

We were excited to eat outside! And Ramen could be the best for the season. We came in at 820pm ( Takumi close at 9pm). We were told that they would not accommodate us ( dining) coz they will close at 9pm! I do understand that cleaning / and preparing for closing will take time but should just put 8pm close for dining!!! Just disappointed and even told them that we will leave at exactly 9pm . I think 40mins before closing would be enough to give customer service.

It takes a lot to get 5 stars from me. Takumi is well deserving of it though. Note: This is not a cheap, all-you-can-eat sushi place, this is somewhere you go if quality sushi is on your mind. Now, whenever a special occasion comes up, Takumi is at the top of the go-to list! The wonderful staff here will always make you feel welcome. If you like sushi or ramen I would highly recommend trying a dish or two.

Due to a great mixup earlier in the week, I finally had a chance to stop in. The advertised karaage ramen, (Japanese Fried Chicken Ramen) Being new to Ramen I was looking forward to this. I was totally blown away. One of the best meals I have ever eaten. When you go to restaurants they have Salt and pepper or hot sauce ketchup on the table, this place does not and now I know why. Was seasoned perfectly. Just the right spice. I just recently ventured to Japanese food, real Japanese not Edo Japan. My next meal is gonna be chefs choice. Thats how impressed I was.

Ive never tasted a more amazing flavour combination than the phila bacon roll that they offer, I recommend this restaurant to anybody that wants sushi in the Medicine Hat area. They offer soups, rolls, tempura, Gyoza, Nigiri, Aburi style Nigiri, combos, rice bowls, ramen, and even party trays! The owners seem to be a great couple that really care for their small business. They do take-out during Covid and when they were open, were very adamant about following AHS regulations in regards to taking down a name and contact number for anyone dining in. Masking until youre sitting and eating is recommended. They have touch free payment and hand sanitizer is present at the entrance and by the cash.

We were happily surprised to recieve a full refund today after our delivery experience 2 days ago. I dont hold the establishment responsible for the 3rd party delivery, but the fact that you went above and beyond to resolve this speaks volumes to us, we will gladly try your establishment again when AHS says we can dine indoors and return the refund with a new meal. Thank you for showing people that you do care about customer experience.

We almost walked out of this place as they had no tables but oh boy are we glad that we stayed. BEST JAPANESE FOOD EVER! Amazing quality and amazing flavours! Saigon roll is the best Maki roll in the whole wide world. And that Ramen,.so good! Do yourself a favor and go here! We ordered seaweed salad, this seemed pre-packaged as the flavour seemed familiar at another sushi place that we frequent.

We stopped here on the way to Calgary. The sushi was excellent and the service was so friendly. The yam roll (one of my personal favourites) was the best Ive ever had.

Read alot of great things so my son and I were excited to try. Maybe it was just an off night or care not put in because it was delivery. But really not impressed. Both sushi rolls were falling apart and rice scrapping off before we started, ramen was not appealing, neither of us ate it and we normally love ramen. Both of us pretty unsatisfied. Maybe in the future might give another try but unlikely.

This place was really good. The sushi was very fresh and perfect ratios of rice and fish. They make their own dumplings! I request a pan fried option for the dumplings because pan fried is better than deep fried imo. Rice a bit too sweet for me, but I suspect it was just accidental overseasoning. Despite my little gripes, this is a high quality place. I would recommend this to anyone willing to pay a fair price for top quality japanese cuisine.

We are very lucky to have this caliber of food available to us in our small city. Thank you chef Se Ho!

Really nice little place. The food is just awesome. I tried one of the Ramen, some rolls, and sushi; really good quality and taste. One thing I really like about this place is they have yellow tail sushi/sashimi, one of my favorite, something other Japanese place in Medicine Hat doesnt have. One downside is the place is really small, probably a good idea to order take out if the place is busy.

Remarkable hidden gem here in Medicine Hat, the attention to detail and execution of the Ramens both my wife and I had were flawless. Do yourself a favor and support this great local small restaurant which is far superior to a chain or franchise offering Japanese fair. In closing, I would like to reiterate the new found passion I have for the broth, deep bold flavors loaded with a variery of Umami notes.
