    Kotteri Hakata Tonkotsu with extra pork and Kimchi👍 Their steamed buns are also good, bbq pork or gluten free chicken. Go for hard noodles - that's the most authentic way (and tastiest too!).

    Lovely ramen. The Dracula will incinerate any vampires within a mile radius - both safety conscious AND delicious! Tori kare age men and also good. Very friendly service even at the end of the night.

    The Shoryu Tonkotsu is a must! So tasty and filling, the pork slices were melting in my mouth, worth the waiting outside in the rain as the place is quite small. Avoid the gyoza, pork inside was dry

    Great place for all the ramen aficionados. I've tried Tonkotsu and it was definitely one of the best ramens I had. Super intensive broth and quality toppings. Worth recommending.

    Possibly the best place I've ever eaten this kind of food. Clean, great flavours and amazing textures. Ask for a recommendation, they will guide you through the menu. Their famous Ramen is unreal!

    The ramen selection is great & nice you can add extras such as nori & egg. They have garlic cloves on each table with a crusher. Soup base is a little too salty. Felt really thirsty after the meal.

    Kotteri Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen. You can add your own garlic or order the Piri Piri spicy sauce and other additions and adjust it to your taste. I ordered the noodles "hard". There is "extra hard".

    Tonkotsu is amazing! Creamy but light! If you want a kick get the piri piri one..or if u want yours more garlicky get the Dracula! Sides have expanded and have quite a variety!

    Best Ramen so far in London. Karaage is also very good and so was the Nigori Chai cocktail. Come early in the week to avoid the queue.

    Amazing ramen. Super authentic, and just like in Japan. Go for the Tonkotsu (pork based) ramens, they're the specialty and the best :)

    Tonkotsu (a pork bone broth) ramen a specialty here. As a half Japanese guy who used to live over there, can definitely recommend this fine establish complete with decent beers and friendly staff.

    Probably the best ramen/japanese restaurant in London. They got gluten free dishes too! Prepare to queue a bit outside during the weekend.

    The food is tasty and filling. However it's overhyped, thus making guillable Westerners fall for it thinking it's the best Japanese place in London. Staff are somewhat inefficient at times.

    Hakana Tonkotsu is great. Move over Bone Daddies. Great tempura soft shelled Crab and great selection of Sake. Be prepared to queue.

    Would come back again and again. Great ramen and hirata buns. Staff excellent. One improvement: install more fly lamps. Plum wine - just do it.

    The current seasonal special, the seafood kimchee ramen, is seriously, seriously good. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a stayer.

    Delicious ramen for London standards. Make sure to head there early as it gets really busy! Flavorful soup base but egg was over cooked.

    Good food, but I always walk out of ramen noodle places thinking the same thing. Is a bowl of noodle soup, 1 drink + service really worth £20. I'll keep coming back, but doesn't mean it's good value

    Fend off the summer heat with the Cool Hiyashi Tantan: cold ramen served with a chilled spicy minced pork dipping sauce and BBQ pork.

    The curry ramen has exceptional broth, and a very generous portion of karaage therein! Delicious late-evening dinner spot.

    My Dracula tonkatsu was salty, hot, delish. I had no. 2 firmness for my ramen but if you like yours with a bit more bit, get there harder noodles!

    On top of their gorgeous ramen, try their Hirata Buns! It's super delicious and so far is our favourite Hirata Buns in London <3

    Hakata Tonkotsu is the best. Service good but tables are really close together and it gets a very crowded. Do order the Harata buns.

    I ordered Hakata Tonkotsu as it was described as thicker&creamier soup than other. But the soup was not even thick as what good Tonkotsu(pork broth) is supposed to be. Not as authentic as their egg

    The Ramen was very good especially the spicy miso is lovely. I would not reccommend any side dishes or any other dishes apart from the ramen.

    If your here during the half price promotion, expect to line up for 20-30 mins before you get in then 40-50 mins before you get your £4 ramen soup
