Had to queue to get in, but it has a cosy, small venue vibe once you're in. Starters are a little pricey , but very tasty. Try the chicken kara-age

Mark Hughes

Best value authentic ramen I've had in Soho / central London. Scrap Wagamama, this is way better. Their signature tonkotsu ramen is delicious. Nice craft beer too!

Hannah Parvaz

Tiny little place with one vegetarian meal , but it's delicious. Cover everything you get in their chilli sauce .

Kiwi Wang

If you don't like a rich broth, this isn't for you. This is legit- thick and rich like you really get in Japan. I eat it constantly when I'm in London- unbelievably good.

The Times and Sunday Times

Tiny Soho germ of the now booming ramen craze. This place probably has the best stock. And best noodles . And definitely the best chicken karaage . Come alone with a book and hunker down. Read more

Tasty vegetarian ramen available. They make the noodles on site and they be good. Not cheap but very popular.

Kenp▲chi

Good food. The prawn goyzas are really good as well as the tempura squid , pairs well with a glass of Umeshu. The red mullet and shiso tempura tho aren't really tasty.

JP Hastings-Spital

There's a lot of bad chat here about the Ramen . It's damned tasty, it may not be authentic Japanese but that's not the point. IMHO the Soho Ramen is better than the Tonkotsu, but they're both tasty!

Aristotelis R

Go for the tonkotsu ramen ! Their place in Mare street is a lot better but this is good as well . Note to management: cleaning the toilets is not a monthly task, it's three times daily at least

Dylan Lowe

Probably the best bowl of ramen I've had in London – though still room for improvement. The signature tonkotsu is what it should be: creamy, subtly meaty, topped with succulent pork and oozy egg .

Jessica Leanne

Best ramen I've had for a long time! Needles just chewy enough and broth just right. Go for the Tokyo!

P N

Excellent! Price of tonkotsu is the same as everywhere else in London. Since making their own noodles , now the best place for this specialty. Karaage & rayu is the shiznit!

Joe Lee

Small choice of menu and serious about ramen ! Loved the Tonkotsu soup ramen , you can taste the pork broth and noodles had a pretty smooth texture. The gyoza wasn't anything special but overal good.

Karen C.

Noodles thin and really soft, completely lacking in bite and texture! Deep MSG-less pork broth and succulent slices of pork belly with seasoned free-range eggs sort of make up for it.

V H

Mmm! Ramen was great, Tokyo better than Tonkotsu, buth both really good. But the winner of the night were the pork gyoza and the pickled cucumber !

Shell ster

I always come here for the chicken Kara age and a bowl of Tokyo ramen with chili oil n bits of course! Best eggs out of all the ramen places .

Yugo Tham

Probably the best bowl of Tonkatsu ramen I had so far in London. Well cooked noodle and the soup is to die for.

Jennifer Lim

Finished my bowl of Tonkotsu to the bottom. Just perfect portion with delicious pork belly and flavorful broth. Real good meal overall :)

Vivian Tan

As an Asian and jap food lover, I would say the ramen is not fantastic but is good enough and worth the try. The service is good and place is clean as well .

Jess Mann

The pork , ginger & garlic gyozas are amazing. And it comes on the lunch menu !

Dorothy Googles

Tonkotsu's "Tonkotsu" ramen is delicious but only if you really love pork ! Otherwise the "Tokyo" Ramen is pretty nice. The seasoned egg is the best!

Emre Uğur

Good size of pot, delicious ramens and good value . If you want to eat ramen , try Tonkotsu.

eliza

Small menu but everything's delicious. Especially the tonkotsu - an almost creamy soup with tender pork . I would have it again in a second.

Stephen Tran

A little bit expensive but really excellent ramen . This ramen is the closest to ramen I have tasted in Japan. Really good.

Jade Tokarczyk

2nd visit here and had Tokyo ramen . Delicious soy sauce base (I prefer with chilli ) but clumpy noodles and tough pork .

Petra Vaupotic

Lovely rustic environment and delicious big bowl of ramen Tonkotsu!

Corinna P

Best not to consider the garlic on the table optional. Press in 3-4 cloves and add some chile paste. Sends the ramen soaring!

Polly Wnz

If you can't face the queues at Bone Daddies, this is a great alternative. Nice touches, good cocktails and flawless dumplings .

Lars Panzerbjørn

Phwoar... :-DThat was an amazing Tonkotsu Ramen ... Easily a contender for best ramen in Londinium...

Jon Choo

Pricey but delicious bowl of Tonkotsu. Try it! Goes well with the 8 Ball IPA .

Tee

The tonkotsu here is pretty good, lighter than at kanada or ippudo. Chicken karaage is the winner though!!

Gabriel Aleixo

Tonkotsu ramen , very tasty but much heavier than your usual ramen . Gyozas though were just perfect

Dolapo Falola

extra garlic is a must. fortunately they provide fresh garlic and a garlic press at the table.

Kim Pham

Don't leave without trying their signature "Tonkotsu" ramen !

Tiago Teixeira Correia

Great portions at a very good price. Also, best decor for an Asian in Soho

Neelu Kohli

Chicken rice was delicious and flavoursome ????????????????

Lizzie Duong

Nice ramen , yuzu lemonade wasn't as expected but staff was really nice and had the lemonade remade. Fantastic customer service.

Alvin Tien

Good ramen . The soup is one of the best in London.

Kira Rocha

Good for late meal. Ramen is good, and worth trying in London

Lucía Mariño

Extra egg portion totally recommended for the ramen !! I might even ask for 2 extra eggs next time!

Arturo B

8/10 Good place for Ramen . Recommended if you're in the area.

Art Garcia

Good ramen spot with fast service

Imogen C

Ramen , noodles made fresh on site, best mochi and flavours

Anastasija Blinova

Gyoza dumplings were great. Duck salad was ok. The duck wasn’t great, too dry. Drinks menu good. As well as cocktails .

Tracy Too

The tonkotsu is obviously a winner. Great mochi ice cream desserts too!

Andy Thornton

Lovely brothy ramen in a rustic communal dining space. Don't listen to the haters; the service is fine. Do need to sort out the shitty music though.

Nelson Correia

Get the Tonkotsu. Add loads of garlic . Drink a craft beer . Profit.

Kevin Kao

No wait, quick service . The tonkatsu broth and noodles were good. However the tamago (ramen egg ) was over cooked and the meat was just okay. Good for quick bite and not much else

Daniel Howells

Go for the very good tonkotsu, the clue's in the name of the place.
