Holy God were they a perfect end to a really great night and took pity on a bunch of us who showed up desperate after a show - but man that ramen!!!!! I had the black garlic tonkatsu, one mate had the OG and the other the white, and we shared chicken karage and pork dumplings. It was all AMAZING. And the area is just kind of idyllic. read more

Really cool little ramen spot. Walked in and was able to get a seat right away. Staff were friendly, and service was quick. I liked that they had the option for how long you wanted your noodles cooked, I wish more places did that. Was able to get my noodles more firm which I prefer. read more

Nice, casual Ramen joint with a couple other dishes. Chicken Curry was excellent...very crispy and not greasy, generous portion. Both ramens were solid. About $30-35 with a drink. I read more

The noodles didn't quite donut for me. Not the perfect texture. And the wait was somewhat longer than expected. And more importantly, the restaurant was a tad on the hot side. Better ventilation would have been better. read more

Shoryu Ramen - Signature bowl of amen. Personally, 7/10. - Japanese Near Me - London, XGL

The ramen was truly excellent, and the broth was impeccable. I also ordered a lychee cocktail and that was DELICIOUS. My dad also really loved the kara age chicken AS HE SHOULD. The chicken was tender and the accompanying sauce honestly slayed. All in all, 10/10. Excellent experience, highly recommend! Also, just the greatest staff. We came by after watching Hadestown around the corner, and the staff were really kind and welcoming, especially at the relatively late hour. We wanted to make sure we wouldn't be holding them up, but they graciously seated us and put our order in quickly so we could maximize our eating time. Thank you again! read more

I would say I am pretty predictable when it comes to finding ramen places. I ALWAYS try to go to at least one ramen place wherever I am. It doesn't always work out but most of the time it does. This time, it worked out. We chose this place because it got good reviews. The inside is really nice, rustic with a modern twist. I'm almost 100% positive we were seated upstairs. My fiancee and his sister both got the tonkatsu ramen. I got the Shoryu Ganso Tonkatsu, which is their signature ramen. I think it's really difficult to f*ck up ramen, so of course, the ramen was really really good. I also got the virgin yuzu mojito, which was tart, but I liked it. I couldn't tell if it was just me but the waitress was a bit short with us. Maybe I was just imagining it. Regardless, I can see why this place gets good reviews. It's a modern-rustic place for great ramen. Perfect place for friends and dates. read more

One of the best ramen I have ever tasted, centrally located, clean but busy. It"s about 10 minutes walk from Trafalgar Square. At 8 pm, the restaurant was still packed and people there were still people waiting in line. read more

The weather forecast in London called for sunshine. That sun never came and it was bitter cold. Nothing helps a cloudy windy cold day go by like a hot bowl of ramen! This place was a short walk from our hotel and we made reservations online in fear of having to wait in a big line. Many Filipinos were inside waiting tables and cooking. So not sure if this location is owned from someone in the Philippines? The food, service, timing was excellent! The ramen broth was excellent with a silky delicious pork flavor and would love to go return when in town. read more

Solid Michelin star ramen located just south of Picadilly Circus in the heart of London. Highly recommend the house ramen which had excellent flavours, generous garnishes and perfect flavour. Would have liked a tiny bit more pork belly but overall was fantastic. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a solid bowl of ramen in London! read more

I am so excited to write this review! Today I went to Shoryu Ramen for lunch and from the moment I walked in I knew it was going to be good! I went with a friend who is a ramen virgin and she left wanting more! Hands down the best bowl of Ramen I have had outside of Japan! We arrived around noon and the place was nearly empty! We noticed a lot of tables said reserved but thankfully they had a few open ones in the back. We were one of 2 seated tables. Our server was amazing and quickly came over and took our orders! I wanted something meaty and spicy so I went with the Karaka Tan Tan Tonkotsu! This was the best ramen ever! They ask you hear how you want your noodles. You can have them soft, medium, or hard noodles! I got it with soft noodles. It was a tonkotsu broth with a twist - rich and spicy marinated minced pork instead of one giant piece of pork belly! It had garlic and chiu chow chili oil! It was delicious and I finished every drop of my bowl! As an appetizer we decided to get the bbq pork belly buns on a steamed bun! They were super tasty and wonderful! It was so good! They were huge and had spicy mayo on them. The bun had a piece of cabbage and a cucumber spear on it! Each bite of the bun was delicious! The service was wonderful! Our waiter made sure we had everything we could want! The restaurant is kinda small inside, but it's a traditional ramen shop! I've never been in a ramen shop that's bigger than a counter and a few tables! This ramen shop also has a full bar for those who want a drink. They also give free ice! This is a big deal in Europe! I can't say enough good things about this place! Hands down this was amazing! I have nothing bad to say! I hands down recommended this place and it won't come to a surprise if you see me check in here again this week! I 100% recommend! read more

This was a wonderful ramen experience. The food was delicious, and the beer was cold. I took the waiters advice on everything I ordered, so I can't tell you the name of any of it, but it was delicious. They provided a bib, which is something I'm not accustomed to, but found very useful, as I tend to get broth on my shirt when slurping ramen. read more

After a cold day walking around London, the idea of a hot bowl of noodles sounded great. There was a bit of a line to get in so that was a good sign. Turns out this is a chain. To some, that's off putting or inauthentic. But when done in a respectful way - and tasty way, who cares? When you finally get called for saying they hit a drum and yell something that's supposed to be in Japanese. Cute and sets the Japanese motif. I like that you are able to request noodle doneness for the ramen. In general, I found the ramen (we tried two different ones) to be a little bland but otherwise really good. It had the nice soft boiled egg (but with a slightly reddish yolk). The BBQ pork bao was pretty delicious with a substantial piece of meat. The Soho platter was a pretty posh sampler of food including sashimi, tempura, and Kara age chicken for two. They even had a near-frozen Asahi beer that really hit the spot against the fatty broth of the ramen. We skipped the cocktails but they looked really delicious. We skipped dessert but overall, it was a pretty good meal and surprisingly inexpensive vs. expectations. Would definitely recommend this place for ramen cravings! read more

We dropped in here one afternoon and were lucky to get a table. This is reservation worthy ramen. Service was attentive and pleasing. We ordered edamame and sweet potato buns. The sweet potato bun is exquisite. A vegetarian option prior to diving into a meaty broth is always welcome. We both order the house specialty ramen and are not disappointed one bit. I know the broth is good because by the end of the meal it is gone. After slurping down some noodles I drank the rest. So good. We would definitely visit this place again. read more

Visited due to the positive reviews online, but thought the shop was just mediocre. We arrived shortly after 11:30, but the restaurant was behind opening (opening listed was 11:30). After the employees finally gathered themselves, we were sat down and ordered a couple ramens and a takoyaki. The takoyaki arrived first and it was too heavily breaded, the octopus was barely noticeable. There was also way too much of the bonita flakes on top - there wasn't even room for them to flap around. The ramen came, and we were only delivered one. Our server seemed confused, but we were more confused - why would 2 people order 1 bowl of ramen.. the ramen was just ok. The noodles tasted packaged and not consistently cooked between the 2 bowls. The soup tasted less rich than it looked. Wouldn't recommend. read more

"My favorite stop in London ! and for years I had such a great experience here. The staff is very welcoming. They are very traditional ramen restaurant. They have a great variety for you to choose from and everything was very fresh the broth and the meat are made here. The Ramen was Amazing! The Pork cuts were the best I've ever had, melts in your mouth. Crispy chicken was also pretty good. Ramen broth is so good yummy especially in cold weather. Be prepared for a long wait to be seated though as it's super busy and I can see why! Can't wait to try other things on the menu next time & I Will definitely recommend this place" read more

A very good ramen place! Love their pork booth ramen, which was smooth and flavorful, yet not salty. The pork belly was also very tender! I also enjoyed the egg. The platter was very tasty, with really good portion. The chicken karaage was well-seasoned and the shrimp tempura went well with the sauce! Takoyaki was so-so, crispy but the internal was tasteless. The service was slow and not attentive. Asked three times for water before it came, and we were seated for 20 minutes already. read more

Wrong hours posted on Yelp. Smh sad for ppl to take an Uber here and seeing the wrong hours

I tried to eat at the one in Kingly Court, but the line was long for the tiny space and the people around me were smoking. Fortunately, this location was a short walk, and there was no wait for the seat closest to the door. Since it was just me, and it was quite late, I ordered and ate quickly. I perused the menu and the reviews, and chose the Karaka Tan Tan Tonkotsu (minced pork marinated in white miso, garlic, and chiu chow chili oil, nitamago egg, kikurage mushrooms, spring onions, ginger, and nori). Not knowing the best way to eat the noodles, I went with the standard futsuu. Broth was flavorful, noodles were right toothiness for me, toppings were plentiful, egg was tasty. I underestimated the difficulty of eating minced pork with chopsticks and the curvature of the bowl, but the flavor was great. Maybe some day I can go back with friends to try more, as the Italians next to me had ordered the takoyaki, which looked delicious (both themselves and the expressions on the faces of the Italians). read more

Best Ramen ever!! Curiously, when taken apart the individual ingredients are really good, but not my favorite. I prefer thicker noodles, the perfect egg and more Kimchee. However, it is this combination that adds to perfection. I had the Spicy Seafood Tonkotsu. I am delighted by these scallops that have a firm texture and full-flavor (being used to farm-raised ones). The Ramen is not spicy and you can add chili oil and grind fresh sesame seed to taste. My companions have the pork version that they love. With a bit extra, you can have a Shoryu bun and a boozy cocktail with your meal. Great if you love Ramen! read more

It's just alright. Okay ramen. Okay Gyoza, okay service. In a great location. I've had better Ramen in London. This place is ...... fine.

1. Service - our waiter was awesome. Funny guy, and deserves a tip! He recommended what beer to get, and gave us a little run through of what to eat as well. There, you wait to be seated, order at the table, and pay at your table. 2. Price - Prices may vary depending on what you order. But regarding on Ramen dishes only, it can be from 11 to 15 pounds. 3. Ambiance - Awesome decoration. Looks fitting and petit. 4. Food - My wife and I both had the Shoryu Ganso Tonkotsu. This is their signature ramen noodle soup. We thought it was flavorful and very filling. It is prepared in Pork broth, Char Siu BBQ Pork, Nitamago Egg, Kikurage Mushrooms, Spring Onion, Sesame, Ginger, Nori Seaweed, and fried shallots. 5. Cleanliness - Food and tables were clean, but toilet didn't flush so nicely that night I was there. read more

Heatwave in London. Warmest summer ever and what better than a super hot face melting bowl of Ramen! Gambate! Itadakimaaaas! I peeked over the door noren and I see this place is packed already. I guess I wasn't the only one mad in the brain to eat hot ramen on a hot day. Anyhoo.. I held up 4 fingers and the hostess seemed to know I meant .. table for 4. So she led me to the tiniest of tables, crammed next to 2 of the tiniest of tables, and with a quick Hai Dozo.. I was left there. But,... but.... I cannot possible traverse the tiny space between the tables to get my seat on the inside. I mean.. people were already eating , and their bowls of ramen was perched on their tables, and I would most def, either knock their table over... or even worst.. go past the tables sideways and put my butt right over their table.. So I gave the hostess a helpless look.. ehh...sumimasen... but she looks away. Fine.. be like that.. so I proceed to wedge myself between table and takes seat.. So uncool. Tho my wife rolled her eyes at me. I needed ramen, I needed something to restore my center. The walking and sightseeing and meal decisions while visiting London has been exhausting. I needed ramen to get back to basic. We got us, Dracula Ramen, Regular Tonkotsu, I think there was Spicy Miso too. tldr;- None was spectacular. It wasn't bad. But it lacked an identity. The noodles was text book, the broth standard, the chashu pedestrian, the toppings bleh. In a sea of ramen.. Shoryu ramen did not stand out one bit. Service was so-so. I don't expect it at a Ramen-ya anyway. So I was fine with bare minimum. I don't know if there is better Ramen in London. This isn't bad, but I would search harder the next time for something better. read more

Awesome! Quick and delicious. Try the fired chicken rolls and spicy ramen. So good. Decent cocktails too.

Best Ramen I've had outside of Asia . I remember when I lived in Singapore I used to eat so much Ramen but then I left had found it tough to find something reminiscent. Well I've finally found it and I'm so thrilled. The menu is nice and simple with only delicious dishes. Service was outstanding and Giorgia, the manager of the Regent Street outlet is lovely as is her team. I've left the days of flashy restaurants behind and much prefer the chilled out relaxing environment like Shoryu Ramen. I'll be going back again and again and recommend you do the same. read more

Why is everything in london so expensive... Came to london for a vacation, mid week through our trip of course I start to crave asian food and whats better than a hot bowl of ramen? Shoryu specializes in tonkotsu soup base which is my favorite. They have different option for the thickness of the broth. If you are used to eating ramen def go with the rich broth option as their regular broth was a little on the bland side. I love the egg as its the perfect yolk consistency. Service was pretty good also, very fast and attentive. While the noodles are pretty good here, it is hard to stomach the fact that I spent almost $100 US dollars here for 2 bowls of ramen, 6pc gyoza and an icecream dessert. It cost like $30 for a bowl of ramen and $5 to add just an egg...if you are a local then definitely check out this place as their ramen is pretty good but if you are travelling from NY i would say to skip it and save the $. read more

I've been to many ramen places in southern California, which is crawling with Asian food places including ramen. While studying abroad I was really missing a dose of Asian food and had heard such good things and was so impressed with Shoryu! I think it's the best ramen I've had yet. Now that I'm back in the States, I find myself craving Shoryu all the time. I've had the original once in Carnaby, the signature ramen twice and the Dracula once on Regent St. All were so good! The broth is amazing and the egg. Ugh, the egg. Perfect. Just how it should be done! Having gone a few times, I found it not filling enough, so I recommend rationing your broth so you can get extra noodles if you're still hungry! The plum wine is also great. A really nice complement to the savoury noodles. I didn't liked Asian steamed buns growing up but the pork belly hirata buns changed my mind. So good! Next time I'm in London, definitely making a stop at one of my favorite trendy restaurants!! read more

Tasty ramen with the beautiful chew to the freshly made ramen. Stumbled upon this place since we couldn't find the place we were looking for but, we love finding new gems. Food was really good, broth was very tasty. The calpico mojito was very refreshing since it was blistering hot in London. The chicken karage bun was good but I loved the tonkotsu ramen. I would have had another bowl of just the broth. Love the find and will be back the next time I'm in town. read more
