Although I have to be careful not to encourage such behaviour.  It might backfire rather badly.  So if you know me personally, know that if you nag too much, there will be consequences to bear.  I can be a rather difficult person if I put my mind (or even half) to it.

The restaurant itself has a well-designed and cozy atmosphere. We tried the Shitaki gyoza, which was decent but not outstanding. The Tokyo ramen and Geki Kara ramen were both very delicious. We also ordered a children's dish for the kid, who only partially enjoyed it (not many kids like edamame). In conclusion, this is a great spot to visit on a rainy day.

The ramen, with homemade noodles is just so fresh and tasty. But I have to mention the service too. I hope the owners know what they have with the dyed red haired girl because she is incredible; warm, friendly, efficient and lovely. Best Ramen in London served by the best staff. Keep it up gang and look after your excellent staff too :
