    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

    Chicken kara-age and gyoza are superb starters.

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

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

    Nice soups, small portions, as is the place, I felt like a number and being rushed through my dinner. Feel bad giving negative reviews, but better go to Taro around the corner.

    Tonkotsu soup got taste and Tokyo Ramen pork tasted good. But not quite Japanese style as advertised. £11 for a rather cold ramen (should be hot). The egg and fish on the ramen soup were cold too. BAD

    The ambience is awesome, the food is average, the miso ramen is the worst I've ever had. So many alternatives in town it's pretty hard to find an excuse to come here. Doesn't live to the hype.

    They added 10% service charge to my bill and tried to take away my utensils whilst I was waiting for the main course to be served. The tonkotsu soup was OK, but have had better. Too watery.

    Amazing tonkotsu ramen. A little scoop of chili oil from the jar on the table makes it just perfect! So much flavor, yum. Cozy place for a relaxed but quick meal.

    Service was slow and unfriendly, waited over 30 minutes for gyoza, and 20 minutes for our ramen, and the restaurant was only half full. Wouldn't mind if the food was good, but Shoryu is much better.

    Servjng was decent. Tonkotsu broth (as of 07/12) was thin and watery. Comes with bean sprouts which is a rarity among other, more authentic tonkotsu ramen. Chasiu was fatty and ok. Not recommended.

    Staff were very bad tempered and didn't mind showing it which was a shame. Ramen was okay but Shoryu and Japan Centre both on Lower Regent st are better

    I vote this the best ramen place in London! Way better than Shoryu or Bone D's. The Tonkotsu is just perfect and the pork gyoza are the best I've ever had!

    Someone really messed up as my Tonkatsu broth had a burnt undertone and was just plain salty as oppose to rich broth. Not coming back here.

    Tonkotsu broth is too thin and isn't "porky" enough. Noodles and gyoza are ok.

    Terrible slow service, they only do two main dishes and it took over an hour to get them. Pretty bland noodles and not worth £11. They did reduce the bill by 50% to apologise.

    Tasty soup but the service is really really bad, the lady upstairs Sunday is really rude and carless about services.
