The take
The Take
The Vibe
What's Beef presents a no-frills, beef-forward vibe set firmly in the everyday traffic of Immermannstraße. It is a focused, contemporary burger concept with an emphasis on sourcing, a tight menu, and straightforward service and atmosphere. It sits in a mixed-use block amid retail and casual dining, drawing passing footfall rather than destination diners. Expect a pragmatic, workaday energy: bustling, pragmatic and tuned to quick turns rather than long, formal meals. The overall impression is modern casual: straightforward, centered on the food and the steady stream of local and commuter trade.
Best For
This is a spot for people who want a straightforward, quality-focused burger without fuss. It suits solo diners, commuters and groups looking for a casual stop near the main train station and the Japantown cluster. The counter-service model and compact, beef-centric menu make it a good fit for lunch and casual dinners when you're in the neighborhood and want something quick and satisfying. It is a convenient neighborhood option that complements the busy corridor it occupies.
Ordering Tips
Practical preparation matters more than reservation strategy: public records for the venue are sparse, with no confirmed website, phone number or documented booking method. It is a counter-service or walk-in venue, so plan to arrive without a reservation and order at the counter. Expect a focused menu highlighting signature items (Ruby’s Bacon Beast, the Wagyu Burger and Selim's ABC) so narrow choices and straightforward ordering are likely. If you want to avoid peak footfall, visit outside the busiest commuter windows; bring patience for a quick, high-turnover experience.

Where to go if this does not fit
Choose Yabase when the group wants a more planned Japanese dinner and is comfortable with a €€€ choice. Choose Takumi when ramen is the main reason for the meal.
For a more casual Japanese alternative, Takumi Chicken & Veggie is the better fit for that specific brief, while Takoyaki Teppachi works better for a snack-led stop.
Restaurant context
How it compares with nearby Düsseldorf options
What's Beef is the easier casual choice when the group wants burgers and a central stop near Immermannstraße. Yabase is the better fit for a more deliberate Japanese meal at a €€€ level, so choose it when the meal itself is the point rather than a quick refuel.
Takumi and Takumi Chicken & Veggie make more sense when ramen is the non-negotiable. They are more focused by format, while What's Beef is more useful for mixed groups that want familiar food and less debate.
Takoyaki Teppachi and Yaki-The-Emon are better cross-shops for snack-led or grill-led Japanese eating. Pick What's Beef for convenience and an easier group consensus; pick those peers when ambiance and cuisine specificity matter more than speed.
