We enjoyed two bowls of ramen - tonkatsu miso and tonkatsu with kimchi. Both were loaded with toppings, big slices of pork, seaweed, fried onions and mushrooms with a half egg. Very generous for the small bowl serving size. The broth and noodles were less than extraordinary. Broth tasted like it was made the same day. Creamy but lacking flavour. Noodles were also store bought, generic. The fried chicken was delicious. Served with teriyaki sauce and a side of special mayo. It was a nice addition to an otherwise bland ramen. The kimchi did add heat but still could not mask the missing pork flavour. This place was fine in a pinch but not somewhere I would make an effort to go to regularly.

Your standard Ramen place with various offerings of ramen in both a small and large size. Prices are okay. The small is like a large bowl of rice. The noodles were more like wonton noodles than ramen. The egg was okay but toppings in general could have been better. Unlike other ramen places your noodles are not swimming in soup . There is just enough to cover the noodles. Flavour of both was okay. Nothing memorable. The service was decent with regular check ins. The environment was a bit darker than what I am used to for ramen and it was really warm in the restaurant! Almost no ventilation at all. Hard to enjoy when you are sweating through your meal.

The noodles were OK - but a wee bit to saucy (wet) the bonsai soft-shell crab roll was the highlight.... I cant call this place a true izakaya as they don't offer Tokyo staples such as whiskey and sodas (highball). In fact they just carry beer wine and sake. Also they don't carry other izakaya staples such as tempayaki sticks nor does it have any of the festive menu combos that Japanese izakaya are known for. Considering sushi and japanese food in London is terrible for the most part, this place is a bit refreshing but not good enough for me to rate higher than three stars. Also something I ate gave me a moderate allergic reaction which hasn't happened to me once in 20 trips to Tokyo over the last decade. Not sure what it was. Hey - its better than Tonkotsu!

I was a little disappointed. First off, the items are way overpriced. While the chef may have been at a Michelin star restaurant in a previous time, this restaurant is not one, and the prices are way above what you would expect. Visually the dishes look impressive. For example I tried the fish and chips. It looks stunning. But the flavor is extremely lacking. The chips are paper thin and there is only 5 or 6 of them. The fish theoretically would have been nice, but the execution left a lot to desire. Having a fried crust but raw on the inside just didn't sit right. The remainder of the dishes were lackluster Overall, would not come here again. Overall,

Perhaps it's more lively on a weekday given the neighborhood. I came because I was craving cold soba and was not disappointed. The noodles are made in house and cooked perfectly, and the tsuyu had a rich depth of flavor. The tempura was light and delicate and also came with a flavorful sauce. They also seem to do sushi well, with nice touches like a brush to apply soy sauce so you don't overdo it on the dip. I had an umeshiso roll and it was quite tasty. The people getting real sushi seemed to be enjoying it. We also had a miso- beef tendon, which was on the specials menu. That was fabulous, super tender and flavorful. Overall they seem to do especially well at broths and sauces. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant with nice lighting and high ceilings. The service is kind and quick with water refills, but let us enjoy our dessert (sharp yuzu ice cream) and tea in peace. It was a nice dinner and worth the spend. We'll be back.
