    One word. Service. It was awful! My friends and I had to wait over an hour for just our drinks, and then another 50 minutes for food. They didn't bring our orders out at the same time either. The waiter didn't apologize, and they didn't even come to check up on us periodically. The food itself was good, but it would have been better if the service was good too. We were completely ignored and luckily we only had to pay for our drinks. I will not be coming here again, and they need to do a better job. Maybe hire more capable people. I had the spicy vegetarian ramen.

    Not sure why the previous comment are this bad but I actually had great service and great food at this place. We did go to Shoryu later than the normal lunch hours and didn't wait at all. All of us are incoming students but we haven't obtained our student card yet. Our waiter asked one of us a few questions and gave the student discount to the whole table. The ramen is good. Personally I think it's a bit too salty for me, but I know many people order it because they like that salty flavor. The food was pretty quick. I think we waited for around 10 minutes. They made the process letting seven people pay as easy as possible. I never see it went that smooth when I was back in the US.. Will come back for sure.

    Shoryu opened last week on a freezing cold day in Oxford. They had the bright and cheerful idea of offering a free bowl of ramen to the first 112 people through the door. Stupid enigmatic mystical number. As committed tasters of ramen across the civilized universe -- regulars at the Mitsuwa foodcourt in Costa Mesa, Ippudo in Berkeley, and Yama, Ootoya and Sunrise in New York -- wife and I had elected to go there anyway at some point, and since we happened to be in Oxford on the opening day we thought we'd go and try and get the free ramen. Who don't like free things, after all, specially when it's ramen. We were queueing in the bitter cold, we got there twenty minutes before they were due to open, and it looked close but possible. People in the queue ahead were counting heads trying to work out whether they'd qualify for the free ramen. The characters in front of us reckoned they were at the ninety eighth point. So we stuck it out. This precise point is where Shoryu BITCHED IT UP ROYALLY and caused a PR scandal. We stood there and as the minutes passed observed several people cut into the queue at different nodes. All these genial people letting their friends in. "Dude! You made it! Get in front of me!" "Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Hop in!" "Great to see you! By the way VUCK THOSE PEOPLE BEHIND US INCIDENTALLY THEY ARE NON-HUMAN SCUM NOT REALLY REAL PEOPLE ANYWAY." They dehumanized us. They ghettoized us without a thought. Don't these people consider the ramifications of their actions? Pro-slavery scum! People kept cutting in and people behind them kept leaving the queue to recount heads and see if they still qualified for the free ramen. People were becoming discouraged. People were becoming actively sad and angry. People were losing enthusiasm and losing their feelings of generosity towards their fellow man and also towards the ramen restaurant called SHORYU. It became confusing, the counting of the heads. We became fatalistic. The punchline, as you might have guessed, since Trump is in the White House and life is encrusted with unfairnesses, is: we got to the door and the people directly in front of us were given the last ticket. Still the French maitre d' tried to usher us into a crammed corner. We asked, "Well, do we get the free ramen or not?" and almost as an afterthought he said "...Nnnnnnnnnnnnooo... not exactly... not really... no." I exploded. "There's been people cutting in for the last twenty minutes. You should have handled this better. You should have given numbered tickets out to people as they queued in good faith, and you should have given people fair warning when they weren't going to qualify. You should be ashamed. What you did isn't right. You let in evil. You're like the waiter in La Nausee. You won with murder. YOU VOTED FOR TRUMP!" I left that place and addressed the people still queueing, like a good radical. I said, "Free soup's off and it ain't coming back!" You can call us cheapskates if you like and say we brought it on ourselves by being skinflints, and "perhaps we probably did," but I also maintain that SHORYU bungled it badly and treated their potential patrons poorly, and now we have irrationally taken against Shoryu and their food and it would be a gross betrayal of our characters and our integrity not to mention our immortal souls to ever eat there. That is that, we'll never go there. We have withdrawn the one thing we still have, our discernment as customers. "The one thing we have is our freedom to die." We went upstairs to PHO instead. Shoryu stands with queue cutters -- queue holders -- seat holders -- throat cutters -- Trump voters. Which side are you on?

    Came here as a party of 4 and luckily had made a reservation so got a table by the window…read more For drinks got the elderflower lemonade with no ice which was a mistake as it was sickly sweet. I ended up adding fair amounts water to soften the sugary taste down a bit. However encountered better luck with the choice of our food as both starters just blew away everyone on our table. We decided to get both of the Sharing Boards and oh gosh, brilliant decision as the food was excellent! 1) Bao Bun Board: just super delicious. I liked the crispy hoisin duck more than the BBQ pulled pork, and also liked the self service aspect of this (you had to make your own Bao bun). Really appreciated that they served generous amounts of the stuffing elements for the bun and all 4 items just complemented each other. 2) Age Board: the blackened chicken and tempura cauliflower bites were amazing! As were the accompanying sauces. The duck spring rolls were okay, but definitely for our group the chicken & cauliflower won when it came to tastiness. The cauliflower bites especially just super crisp while the chicken was so moist and with just super delicious spices! We should have stopped there and ordered dessert instead next, but we didn't realize so had also ordered mains! I got the Shio Ramen; other members of our group got the Bibimbap with Shrimp; Kung Pao Chicken; and Chow Mein. Btw, if you are worried that the menu selection seems all over the place when it comes to Asian food with Japanese, Korean, Sichuan Chinese & Hong Kong being represented with the menu choices our group made, I want to reassure anyone reading this review, that the food is tightly focused and the restaurant is Pan-Asian rather than Fusion Asian cuisine, so it all tastes fairly authentic. I had a taste of the Bibimbap and it was deliciousness! I think I might have enjoyed my Shio Ramen more if I wasn't already massively full from the Entree's. However if I return back to the restaurant, I won't get this ramen menu item again - I wanted a wee bit more vegetables plus the broth was a bit too bland for my taste. I put in copious amounts of dark soy spice and chili oil to spice it up. I also don't think the taste of the semi-cured chashu pork belly as the protein in the ramen was all that great. Don't get me wrong, the pork tasted delicious, but I wanted more of the fat to be present and mix with the ramen broth and instead it was more smoky taste elements. Overall however, service was great and as mentioned previously, those two starters hit it out of the park. I'd definitely return and get those two tasting boards again! Yelp 172/ 2019

    This is one of the few sit-down restaurants in Terminal 3 at LHR. We had lots of time before our…read moreflight and decided to check it out. You sit at communal tables without backs (which isn't the most comfy), but the menu is extensive and healthy. We ordered teriyaki noodles and yakisoba noodles with shrimp, and both were good. They were very mildly spiced, though, and we both needed the seasoning spice that was on the table. I guess I was expecting more authentic and bold flavors, but this is very, very mild (perfect for fussy eaters and kids). PROS: * free hot green tea * scan a QR code to pay so no need to wait around for a slow server * plenty of healthy, vegetarian, and vegan food options * good cocktail menu for a pre-flight tipple * chopsticks, forks, and sauces on every table CONS: * service is mostly nonexistent; a server will take your order and deliver your food, but you won't see them again after that. * the kitchen is slow, so allow around 30 minutes to get your food (a real problem if you're in a rush to catch a flight) * uncomfortable picnic style, communal seating I would probably eat here again the next time I'm flying out of Heathrow, especially because there aren't many other sit down options in Terminal 3.

Nothing like a bit of ramen to warm your belly up.) We were sat upstairs and brought water and menus. At first, I thought, what a cool small ramen spot - but no, there's a downstairs!!! There's actually loads of space! Do not be deceived if it's full upstairs, chances are there's seating downstairs. The lunch menu consists of any small ramen bowl on the menu and a side for £9.95. I chose the pork, ginger and garlic gyoza, which came to the table fresh from the kitchen. For mains, I chose the Miso mushroom ramen, which was absolutely delicious. There was a variety of mushrooms which topped the homemade noodles, accompanied with a seasoned egg, black kale, bamboo shoots and spring onions. The broth was made up of konbu and shiitake mushroom and was miso based. Delicious!! I had the option to upgrade to a large bowl for an extra £1.95, but it was rather filling! I would definitely come back again to try more from the menu; I've got my eye on the chilli chicken ramen for next time!

The noodles were done just right and weren't too chewy or undercooked or over cooked just done perfectly.

I had the pork, ginger and garlic gyoza to start and they were plump and juicy as advertised. I had the Tonkotsu ramen which comes with the delicious pork broth. It came with roast pork belly, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, spring onions. Very filling and good value for the money. I will be back.
