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

Kwok Tang

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

Michael Amon

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.

Jon

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

Kim Pham

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 !

Rachel Poston

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 !

Rylan Holey

The Tonkutsu Ramen has a mind blowing soup . Definitely get a bowl of that and couple it with some hot Ancient Mountain Sake .

Scott G

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.

Ale Tower

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!

Cyrièle Piancastelli

Amazing ramen . Amazing sides. I also had a wonderful apple tart with candles for my birthday. Nice staff even though the restaurant was crowded .

Hannah Parvaz

The Pumpkin Korroke are one of the best things in my world. Use their chilli sauce , please.

Jordi Llobet

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!

Edd

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.

Ashley Dando

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.

Aidan Hornsby

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.

Daniel Bower

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!

Kevin McCulley

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.

Beto Versa

Veggie gyoza are delicious! Veggie noodles are usually lacking salt and spice. Who eats beef ones, loves them though.

Rasthy De Los Reyes

Fantastic ramen selection. Gyoza was delicious snack bites, and the ice cream were a nice dessert

Prins

Delicious vegetarian Shimeji & Shiitake Hiyashi Ramen Salad

Michelle Wild

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!

Dimitris Ntarladimas

The chilli chicken was good and the gyoza too, but the popcorn shrimps as a side was a farse...

David F

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.

Shannon Low

Best ramen in London . Tastier, thicker and richer stock than the Soho branch.

A.

Everything you love about Tonkotsu in Soho but just a little bit closer to home.

Doug

The pork dumplings & squid starters/sides were delicious, although the ramen portions are so filling we didn't really need them.

hello_emily

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.

Shell ster

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 !

María

The venue is amazing and full of good looking cool people. However the ramen is a bit meh...

Max D

Best vegetarian ramen I ever had! Great service ????

Daisy Janes

Tokyo Ramon bland in comparison to Tonkotsu which is delicious. Vodka and yuku lemonade really refreshing

Simon Willison

Warning: only open after 5pm during the week! Don't try and have lunch here on a weekday. Open all day at weekends though.

Fraser McIntosh

Great Ramen , great Gyoza . Fast service and delicious food

Mat A

Try a Japanese craft beer such as Yona Yona ale from Nagano

Ka Yuan

Gyoza 's! And ask japanese mayonnaise with your chicken karaage , makes it even better!

Emad Soliman

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

Will Fleming

Delicious ramen , super savory broth, and the gyoza are great too.

Russell Barnes

Best ramen in London - the tsukemen in particular is amazing.

Hannah Donovan

I used to be a ramen hater. If you don't like soup that tastes like pig sweat, the veggie option here is delicious ????????

Kevin McCulley

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 .

Mette Schou Andersen

Chilli chicken ramen were delicious and the space is georgious too :)

Bastian Greshake Tzovaras

The vegetarian ramen is nice. Curious to try the ice creams !

Jackson Gabbard

Good noodles . Doesn't really compare to authentic Japanese , but well worth the prices.

Campbell Ross

Solid Ramen and Chicken Karrage. Broccoli also goes down well .

Hugh Smith

They have a cheaper lunchtime ramen . Get the chicken kaarage on the side.

Russ Garrett

Good cocktails , great ramen , nice venue. Highly recommended.

Raminta Diliso

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!

Leïla Perrard

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 .
