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.

Pretty solid ramen shop!…read more I ordered the gekikara and it was pleasingly spicy; not chugging-water-spicy but still in-your-face-spicy. :p Very flavorful broth but as a nitpick it was a tad overly salty. 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.

We went here after seeing Wicked around the corner at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, so it was pretty late (about 10:30). They close at 11, so we felt a little bad coming in so late, but it's nearly impossible to find somewhere still serving food in the area. They were so welcoming to us, and brought our food quickly. We were completely finished by 11:15! It was a cold and rainy night, so this really hit the spot. I can only hope that, someday, I'll be able to find such an amazing ramen and service combination a little closer to home.

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.

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.

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.

Tokoton Ramen is run by a team of three Japanese guys and we felt the personality of this trio throughout our meal.
