This is a quickie review of one of my favorite lunch spots in Wilmington, DE. This is definitely worth you checking out if you like Chinese food. But Bo you say, Takumi is a "Japanese sounding place". Well your right, they do have a full sushi bar, but I have to say their Chinese food is much better for lunch. having tried all the local spots for bento boxes, I can honestly say that for the price, you can get a bento box in other places, but I digress.
In the photos shown my friend and I had the pork belly with pickle (top) and the pork with garlic sauce (bottom). The porkbelly was nice and tender with the fat falling apart as you tried to pick it up with your chopsticks. The flavor was a well balanced combination of sweet and savory. It is heavy but since there's not that many pieces, about 6 or so, you don't feel too bad for indulging.
The pork with garlic sauce was labeled to be spicy on the menu but it was fairly mild. Compared to some of the other dishes they have that are also labeled as spicy I have to say be careful they are not all equally spicy. The Chicken with Pepper for example is very spicy for most tastes. The pork was nice and tender and the dish had a strong fruitiness and tartness that was very complementary of each other and the crisp celery and bamboo shoots.
At about $9.95/person before tip, this is a really good place for lunch if your in the Wilmington DE area. Taste is great, price is reasonable, all in all I'd say i'd give this place a 8/10. Till next time, eat well my friends.
