What a pleasant surprise: we live on Bermondsey Street and thus are surrounded by restaurants that charge you an arm and a leg. This place is a mere 10 minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of London Bridge, yet you feel like you've entered a different world. Tokoton Ramen is run by a team of three Japanese guys and we felt the personality of this trio throughout our meal. It's a very tiny space, but the food is excellent, the service is kind and the interior is cute. Nothing fancy, but it makes you feel at ease. We've already been looking forward to coming back and this time we'll bring our dog as canines are welcome!

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.

4-ish stars rounded up. 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 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.

My Kumamoto (Shio tare with 12-hour pork broth, chashu pork, wood ear mushrooms, garlic chips & burnt garlic oil) -- was wholesome but bland & the pork was dry. Beansprouts at bottom so very mushy. But burnt garlic &'egg epic. Miso (Miso tare with Shiitake mushroom broth & burnt sweetcorn + chicken) was excellent. There was a queue but service was quick and efficient. However, they automatically added service charge without asking for the two of us (so I didn't tip on top of that). Toilets clean. Small and crowded with some tables at windows / shared tables in middle

The chef understands fish and how to handle rice. He is Filipino but was apprenticed to a Japanese sushi chef for years and gets it. The fish selection is limited but well chosen. The presentation was clean and was not trying to be cool or flash. The miso soup, a good test of a Japanese restaurant, was well done. They even had deep fried lotus root chips, one of my favourite snacks (ask for them with salt). The service was warm, engaged and personal. I look forward to going back.

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.

If you don't pay attention you may walk past one of the BEST ramen experiences one may ever have…read more The restaurant was unassumingly stacked along all the other offering on Old Street. Upon entry, the staff greeted you warmly and were on point to execute a perfectly designed bowl of ramen for your eating pleasure. I honestly felt guilty from the way I enjoyed my ramen given how much my oldest daughter loves the food. I appreciated how open the staff was to making my bowl "extra" spicy and adding yet another egg even though it wasn't specifically on the menu but satisfied my particular desire. What added to the "realness" of the resturant was the steady flow of what seemed to be true ramen experts coming in and navigating the scene, menu, and food at lightning speed with even better eating results. If ramen is your thing, then you NEED to check out this place. Definitely one of the top spots for Ramen I've been to in all my travels. Sorry for no pics, but I dove in before I could contain myself, lol.

Also, they serve their beers in ice cold cups, so order a pint of asahi with your meal!
