The table set-up was perfect for our large group, and the staff assisted in pushing two tables together for us. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

The menu has options to satisfy every palate, but their outstanding signature pork ramen is the standout dish.

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 :

The broth smelled a little bit weird but I thought it was me being overly sensitive. 30 minutes later, I had to throw up. I’ve had diarrhea, nausea and stomach pain daily (even 13 days later) and suffered from dehydration. Unfortunately, I have to wait for my test results to come back until I can get antibiotics and have to continue suffering until next week...
