Tsukemen was delicious. Huge portion and intense flavours. Their thick noodles were very good. The broth could've been warmer though. This branch is in a large space so no queues
This is a solid go-to place for ramen . Won't change your life but you will hopefully have a very satisfying meal. Good selection of starters & drinks especially beers . Definitely a 7-8 out of 10 place
The eponymous ramen is very good, on the porky side, with a rich broth, chewy noodles and big almost too big chunks of pork belly . The karaage chicken appetizer was boneless and fried perfectly.
Lives up to the standards of their Soho flagship, even right after opening. Some new dishes on the menu, starters excellent as usual, and ramen consistently great. Less cramped than Soho too
Not as good as their Soho location, but definitely still worth a visit. The Tonkotsu ramen is lovely. Be sure to try the chilli oil !
2nd best ramen in London . It’s amazingly rich flavours and variety of soups and dishes is dreamy. Get the Tonkotsu soup and the karage chicken !
The Tonkutsu Ramen has a mind blowing soup . Definitely get a bowl of that and couple it with some hot Ancient Mountain Sake .
Food was tasty, and the is a rather unique selection of alcoholic drinks - indie Jap beer and cocktails too. Staff are helpful albeit a little slow at times. Branch more quiet than the West one.
The tonkotsu broth is enriched with lard, giving it a white-ish colour and much stronger piggy taste. If you prefer lighter broths go with the mushroom version!
Amazing ramen . Amazing sides. I also had a wonderful apple tart with candles for my birthday. Nice staff even though the restaurant was crowded .
The Pumpkin Korroke are one of the best things in my world. Use their chilli sauce , please.
Little bit expensive but everything was so good. Nice cocktails as well . All the food was good and a friendly staff served us.
Tsukemen with special shoyu tonkotsu broth (soy sauce + pork ) is amazing. If you like tonkotsu broth but want a bit punch, go for it!
The broth was light and rich at the same time it's uncanny. Ramens in Asia are shockingly salty and fatty but the London ones are just so balanced. Ok the chashu was fatty but my face wanted it.
Ramen was tasty and I will certainly return and enjoy them again. The service by Grumpy Antipodeans needs improving greatly which ruined our experience overall.
Not quite Bone Daddies , but this is definitely the best ramen near Hoxton / Shoreditch. Sometimes you can even see the noodles being made in the White room out back.
The Tonkotsu is incredibly rich. Huge pieces of pork belly and a great broth. Service was a little slow when we visited however.
Tbh the ramen is average but the sides are ???? Just get them!
Venue is likable but the constant trains shaking the whole place is a distraction. The four main meals consist of three different pork , bamboo & spring onion dishes, and one with mushroom instead.
Veggie gyoza are delicious! Veggie noodles are usually lacking salt and spice. Who eats beef ones, loves them though.
Fantastic ramen selection. Gyoza was delicious snack bites, and the ice cream were a nice dessert
Delicious vegetarian Shimeji & Shiitake Hiyashi Ramen Salad
Food was great- a shame the staff were clearing our plates whilst we were still eating and packed people in so tightly you were literally sat on top of strangers!
The chilli chicken was good and the gyoza too, but the popcorn shrimps as a side was a farse...
Nice setup and friendly staff . Kara-age was a little undercooked and fatty. Ramen was very salty - in all honesty I think the ramen at Wagamama is nicer.
Best ramen in London . Tastier, thicker and richer stock than the Soho branch.
Everything you love about Tonkotsu in Soho but just a little bit closer to home.
The pork dumplings & squid starters/sides were delicious, although the ramen portions are so filling we didn't really need them.
I had high expectations but my cocktail was served with flat lemonade , kitchen forgot our order & tonkotsu ramen was pretty average. Chicken kara-age was very nice though. Won't be back.
It's closed on a Monday whilst licencing gets sorted. So happy that they have the Chicken Kara-age. All they need now is the Tokyo Ramen !
The venue is amazing and full of good looking cool people. However the ramen is a bit meh...
Best vegetarian ramen I ever had! Great service ????
Tokyo Ramon bland in comparison to Tonkotsu which is delicious. Vodka and yuku lemonade really refreshing
Warning: only open after 5pm during the week! Don't try and have lunch here on a weekday. Open all day at weekends though.
Great Ramen , great Gyoza . Fast service and delicious food
Try a Japanese craft beer such as Yona Yona ale from Nagano
Gyoza 's! And ask japanese mayonnaise with your chicken karaage , makes it even better!
As far as ramen goes, this place is quite poor. Nothing next to bone daddies , which is also nothing compared to Cocolo in berlin. The sides and beer were amazing. Ramen needs a world of improvement
Delicious ramen , super savory broth, and the gyoza are great too.
Best ramen in London - the tsukemen in particular is amazing.
I used to be a ramen hater. If you don't like soup that tastes like pig sweat, the veggie option here is delicious ????????
For £11 per bowl I'd like more than three pieces of pork , four of bamboo and about half a chopped spring onion . £2 for a can of diet coke also a little needlessly expensive .
Chilli chicken ramen were delicious and the space is georgious too :)
The vegetarian ramen is nice. Curious to try the ice creams !
Good noodles . Doesn't really compare to authentic Japanese , but well worth the prices.
Solid Ramen and Chicken Karrage. Broccoli also goes down well .
They have a cheaper lunchtime ramen . Get the chicken kaarage on the side.
Good cocktails , great ramen , nice venue. Highly recommended.
Great venue but the food needs improvement. Starters were unseasoned and noodles/broth arrived cold, pork was chewy. Watching the chef make ramen was interesting though!
I'm not so found of this place. It's good but I had better ramen , staff is nice but not so helpful. Doesn't taste as authentic as expected from officially home made ramen .
The best thing on the menu: chilled chicken chilli ramen. Ask for half the broth because it's quite salty. Crazy delicious and a touch spicy ???? - Kim Pham
The Dracula Tonkotsu is amazing, the black garlic gives an amazingly rich flavour. Very moreish. Char Sui BBQ pork belly, nitamago egg, mushrooms, ramen, ginger, sesame, nori seaweed. Gorgeous. - Slynky Cat
