It was not worth it. The slices of meat were too thin. The regular tonkotsu x would have been good enough. The hanjuku egg was not worth the extra as well. Instead of paying extra for the meat and egg, order a bowl of rice. There is plenty of small chunks of chashu and would go well to eat together after the noodles are gone.

Decent chashu pork belly; tasty but not the most succulent. Well-seasoned tan-tan minced pork but on the dry side. I requested kata (firm) noodles but the noodles were pretty soft.....still enjoyable to eat though. As for my drink I had the homemade jasmine tea lemonade. Kinda over-brewed-bitter lol. Very polite and attentive service (pretty much boosted my rating)! Overall I'd say this spot is a recommend from me if you already happen to be in the area.

Open kitchen in back Service quick and efficient. After selecting ramen you can choose to customize noodle firmness and soup richness. Manager or owner was close but not hovering. Only ordered Tonkotsu ramen but there is a large selection of sushi, sashimi and other Japanese specialties. Soup order rich had a strong pork bone base and was served very hot as it should be. Noodles firm as ordered. Good proportion of toppings. Order combination with Gyoza ordered fried. Gyoza were the weak point. Not sure why but had large white areas. See photo. Interesting toppings at table included pickled ginger and peeled garlic cloves with a garlic press. Sesame shooter, shoyu and maybe an oil. Chopsticks were nice disposable. Cost was about 15 pounds, a reasonable amount outside of Japan. Comparable to Chicago prices. I will return although there was an interesting Japanese restaurant with a belt across the alley.

Monday 4pm, 12/23, before Christmas, streets were full of people but no waiting queue so it was an…read moreeasy choice to decide to get food here. As it was recommended for a good Japanese ramen place. I would say about half of the tables were full late Monday afternoon. Server comes to take order and got the food in timely manner, about 10 minutes?? Bao Bun - Price of £13.30 for two is too much. This is expensive. Bun was soft and warm, fried chicken inside was good, but it did not justify the price tag. Size could have been bigger or price needs to be cheaper than £13.30. If not for Bao Bun, I would have given five stars. Tonkotsu (The OG) - No complaints. £14.80 feels cheap compared to Bao Buns two for £13.30. Noodles were good, soup had rich flavor from the broth, menma was crunchy, boiled egg was just cooked to perfection, there were even garlic cloves and garlic press at each table to use! I felt like I was in Japan. Payment at the table. Ask for check and one of the staffs will bring the credit card machine for payment.

Lool It is multiple stories floors etc etc...when you first walk in you are greeted with all these cute succulents for sale and other foliage. It smells great. There is also a banana pudding place to the right. They have signage on the wall that indicates what is available on each respective floor. They literally have everything to choose from. Mexican, Italian, English food and Gelato! Plus coffee! Since I was visiting London I decided to try fish & chips! Wow fried to perfection! The fries were so good, and the fish needs some Lowrys. There was literally no seasoning. There is also a outdoor seating area with a bar the 3rd floor ample seating. I really enjoyed this place. They also have cool renovated bathrooms in the basement.

Stopped by Mercato Mayfair on a layover with six coworkers, and it ended up being one of the…read morehighlights of our trip. The space alone is worth the visit--set inside a stunning cathedral with stained glass windows and beautiful woodwork, it's unlike anything else in London. Even the pulpit has been transformed into a gin bar, and there's also a German craft beer bar, which just adds to the uniqueness of the experience. The food options are incredible--basically something for everyone. We saw everything from homemade pasta and Napoli-style pizza to British grass-fed burgers, tacos and margaritas, pad Thai, Indian dishes, gelato, wine, and desserts like baklava and banana pudding. It's almost overwhelming (in a good way), and perfect for a group with different tastes. Seating is a bit of an adventure--main floor is first-come, first-served and fills up fast, the upstairs has limited small tables, and the basement offers more intimate, restaurant-style spaces that looked like they take reservations. My advice: get there early to grab a table, or plan to enjoy a drink while soaking in the lively, energetic atmosphere. Overall, an amazing spot for groups and a must-visit if you're in London and want great food, drinks, and a truly memorable setting. Until next time...

Looking for something different after enjoying traditional British fare for our first few days in London, we happened to be in SoHo and settled on ShoRyu, because we both love ramen. Seriously, what's not to love? SHORYU is located in SoHo (which is a MUST-SEE area in London), and is in a beautiful food court area, with three levels of different types of restaurants. We settled on the ramen, which happens to be on the ground level. We were seated at a table with a QR code on it, which allowed us to place our order. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and we opted to sit outside. We ordered the Piri Piri Tonkatsu and the Dracula Tonkotsu, and my wife also got herself an oolong tea. The prices were very reasonable (about £15-£16 per giant bowl of ramen), and the food came out very quickly. The broth was rich and full of flavor. The meats and other ingredients all tasted fresh and came together for a deliciously balanced meal. So If you're hungry and happen to be in the SoHo area, you can't go wrong with ShoRyu!!

Rec: Gekikara- this is a spicy tan tan (minced pork) ramen. I surprisingly enjoyed this ramen more than I expected as the spice was not overkill and you could still enjoy the taste of the pork-chicken broth. I loved how there were a lot of bean sprouts and wood ear mushrooms giving the dish a nice complimentary crunchy texture. Chashu came in interestingly long thin strips but had a good balance of meat to fat. Skip: Hanjuku boiled egg- found it rather bitter and way too salty. Over steeped in their proprietary sauce.

Also they seem pretty Covid conscious with the screens dividing between the tables. I ordered the Menya Ramen which is essentially the regular Tonkatsu Ramen. I really appreciate the fact that this one already had a soft-boiled egg in it which I always think is the best part about ramen, and this one is no different. Wasn't the biggest fan of the chasu pork, but I did appreciate the seaweed as well as the rich broth. I thought the amount the gave was also quite a bit for the price, especially with the amount of noodles they had. Overall, pretty great experience at Menya. Will definitely come back for more!

My son and I traded for a taste and next time I am going for the Menya Ramen, no spice. It was so savory, subtle, I wanted the bowl to be bottomless. Service was as prompt as possible for a Sunday afternoon after the museum. Line went fast. Thank you for the amazing meal.
