I didn't realize this was a chain but the signals should have been clear when I sat down: lots of branding all throughout the place, a loyalty program with a QR code to scan, and a giant menu instead of focusing on specialties. While the taste of Shoryu is definitely preferable to other bland UK chains like Wagamama and Bone Daddies, you shouldn't choose one of their locations over the independent options throughout London as the taste is just O.K. Space and service is nothing special to write about. I suppose one doesn't come into most ramen places and rave on about either of those two elements but regardless, nothing to note here. I tried the Kotteri Hakata Tonkotsu ramen under the assumption that based on it being London that I was going to need to overdo it with flavor in order to compensate for the local disposition for having little and that was likely a good idea. It wasn't the best tonkotsu I've ever had but the pork and garlic broth was defintely tasty and the chasu was packed full of flavor; the noodles, on the other hand, were undercooked and uninspired. I also order a side of goma cucumber which is usually a light seasame infused starter for a heavy ramen meal but here I think they omitted oil all together so it was just chilli power and veg - boo. Overall, I wouldn't choose this over Ramen Moto or even Ippudo. read more

I love ramen so much and can't find anything decent back home, so took advantage of trying all the spots on vacation. This was definitely one of my faves in London center. The broth was rich and creamy, the flavors all blending so well. I also really liked the yuzu salt in the edamame (complimented by my yuzu flavored ramune soda). Staff was very kind. Definitely a crowded restaurant during the holiday season but they had quick turnover so didn't have to wait too long for a seat. read more

came here for lunch. It was a cold day and ramen sounded good. This restaurant is tucked in a shopping/food hall area. Quite a large selection to choose from the menu. We ordered the JFC Karaage bucket - quite a large serving of chicken karaage and the Kimchi Prawn Tonkatsu. The tonkatsu was delicious and the serving was quite large. Glad we didn;t order any more food as we were able to share and feel satisfied. The broth was not too spicy but very flavorable. Service was a little slow. We had a tough time getting someone's attention for drink refills. It's a very casual dining scene and we sat at the high tables. read more

Not a bad spot to grab ramen. They were busy but still manage to provide quick service. We got takoyaki to start out as well as a couple of ramen options. They were not bad but definitely not great either. Lychee cocktail was good but I can use a bit more lychee flavor in it. Overall a good experience, though not authentic by any means. read more

Stopped in on a chilly day for a nice bowl of ramen and was not disappointed. First off, I love that you have the ability to order directly online from your phone. It was so easy to scan the QR code, check out the menu and place my order. In fact, I was even able to get my Ramen just the way I like it because normally I'm too shy to ask the server to remove all of the ingredients I typically tend to eat around. It was quick and easy, and my order came out right away. Speaking of my order, I started with the gyoza, which came out still sizzling hot. They were perfectly crispy, but not burned. Next up was my Ramen. I opted for the one with the extra rich and creamy broth, which also comes with an extra egg. Additionally, I asked for the hot sauce on the side. I'd never tried this Ramen place before, so I wanted to try the broth before completely obliterating it in the hot sauce (which I definitely ended up doing, and LOVED it!). Between the gyoza and the steaming hot bowl of soup, this lunch definitely hit the spot. Seems like they have some sort of midday, happy hour,special pricing, however, I did not arrive in time to take advantage of that. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely return to check it out. read more

My trip here was an impulsive last minute 11:15 PM ramen stop while still in London for one more night and happy that I ended here. This location of the local chain was the latest to stay open and we made it before the kitchen closed at 11:30 PM. We were promptly seated and got some time to review their menu. We ordered a variety of menu items including their bun and cucumber as appetizers and they were both tasty. The big kicker was their tonkotsu ramen. From tender chasu to a super delicious/flavorful broth...this was simply a fantastic ramen. Best tasting among the 3 places I've tried while in London. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place to all! read more

The ramen here is delicious and so warm. They have traditional ramen as well as variations that are vegetarian. They have "buns" that have pork or tofu. You can make a reservation or walk in. The portion size is large! They also have a kids meal. read more

With about an hour before our matinee show in the West End, the hubs and I sought out a place for a quick lunch. He was in the mood for ramen and I'd walked past Shoryu several times during the week without realizing what a gem it was, but one glance at the reviews and ratings online indicated it would be our best bet. We arrived and waited in line behind a few other folks. None of us had reservations, but the host was accommodating all around. We were seated in the far dining area at a long bar with other diners facing the window. We ordered green tea, one BBQ pork bun, gyoza, Shoryu ramen, and a Dracula (garlicky) ramen with soft noodles. Everything was great, but our gyoza never arrived. Thankfully, it wasn't included in the check, so it was likely just a server oversight. We couldn't believe how delicious and authentic everything was! This is definitely a great spot with high-quality food and efficient staff. The thing that most amazed me about the ramen was that it arrived at the perfect temperature. Usually that first bite burns my taste buds, but not so here! I loved the seaweed, nuttiness of the sesame seeds, and incredibly tender pork. The hubs loved the super-garlicky Dracula flavor. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend this spot, even if you don't have a reservation. read more

We came here by accident after wandering around London Soho. Apparently this place is a chain, but it's still pretty popular. We ordered the pork buns, Dracula ramen, and the karaka tartan. They even provide fresh garlic in the side for you to crush into the soup if the base is not enough. I did that on my already garlicky Dracula ramen and my girlfriend would not talk to me for the rest of the night. Oops. The food is good but they definitely use a lot of msg. Not a huge issue but you'll end up thirsty. I overall thought it was good and enough so that I would go again. read more

Overall the ramen is good. The noodles are softer rather than chewy. And the broth leans toward the heavier and saltier side. This is a very decent bowl of noodles. However our food didn't come out for 30-40 minutes and after talking to a worker, we found out our waiter forgot to put our order in. This was pretty disappointing because we were starving at that point. He obviously felt bad about it and took the service charge off of our receipt which was nice. read more

Shoryu Ramen - Miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - London, XGL

I am admittedly a ramen newbie, but this little Japanese ramen specialist on Denman Street was a wonderful surprise on a recent trip to London. It was a cold damp day, classic London weather, and we were hankering for a quick bite before heading out to an Arsenal football game and a big meal later that night. When we tried to open the door, people were spilling out due to the line! But the host managed to seat us all quite quickly as they turn tables over at a rapid pace. We split the spicy miso vegetarian ramen bowl and added seaweed and kimchi. I sipped on a special higher priced green tea and my husband enjoyed a matcha. The choices of ramen range from traditional with pork and a poached egg to vegetarian options. They also have sushi rolls and other Asian specialties. I was blown away by the flavors and that our spicy miso broth was not nearly as salty as I expected. The noodles were yummy and my tea was warm with great depth of flavor. I don't know how this place compares to other local ramen joints but our experience here was really very good and I would certainly come back for more traditional ramen when we are a bit hungrier. read more

My friends and I were so happy to have stumbled upon this place near picadilly circus! After walking around London all day we were getting a little hangry and chose Shoryu Ramen because it was very busy- go where the crowd is, right? Our waitress gave us a rundown of the menu and we placed our orders. My friends went with the most popular ramen bowl and I chose the spicy veggie ramen bowl. The noodles were absolutely delicious & truly hit the spot! The soup was pretty spicy though- and I consider myself able to handle a good amount of heat. My friends liked their bowls as well- commenting that the egg in the soup was really tasty. For about £12 a bowl, the price was right for us- we left full and no longer hangry. Definitely would recommend to people traveling in the area! read more

The restaurant charges a Mandatory Service charge 12.5%. Food is otherwise good. Ambience is good.

Came here for dinner a couple Sunday nights ago and had a good time. My friend and I showed up around 7 PM and were able to snag a seat right away. We shared the Chicken Karaage and then I ordered the Kotteri Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen. I'm not a fried chicken person, but the Chicken Karaage was nicely flavored and not too oily. My ramen was delicious! The broth was nice and rich, and the pork was amazing. It instantly melts in your mouth. I had my noodles cooked medium, which was perfect for me, but you can tell them how soft you want them. I wish they had a version of this ramen with a light kick to it (seems like the spicy things on the menu were really spicy), but it was delicious. Service was pretty friendly, would definitely come again! read more

So disappointed in our visit. I ordered the Dracula Tonkotsu and it was really bland and i had absolutely no garlic flavor. After I was done with my bowl I noticed that the table next to us had garlic cloves and a garlic press, so our table wasn't even set properly. The worst part was that I ordered a few appetizers as well but they didn't come until 15 minutes after I had finished my ramen. DO NOT get the char sui rice bowl, it's just two pieces of bland pork and some pickled veggies over rice. Needless to say the service is terrible, no one to come around so no one to ask where your food is. I mean who needs to provide service when there's already a service charge added to your bill right? read more

This is the latest opening from the Shoryu chain. I was here for the soft launch with 50% off on all ramen and the place was constantly full. Seating is much closer than the other Shoryu locations, which means it get really packed, but I didn't see any deterioration in service standards or serving time. The staff were all really upbeat and did a great job managing the constant crowd. Food is standard Shoryu food. Yummy broth, well cooked noodles, great buns. This outlet has a large wine list and a few extras on the food menu. I don't remember poached eggs as an option at the other Shoryu's or maybe I'm mistaken? Yummy food at the Tottenham Court Road station area. At least now I have a healthier option, if I want to grab a late bite when changing buses at this station. read more

Super disappointing ramen and dining experience, both the broth as well as the noodle consistency left much to be desired. Total overkill on the green onions as well as the pickled ginger--no one needs that much pickled ginger. The broth was incredibly watery (probably why there was so much ginger, to make up for it) and the noodles gummy and limp. The sliced pork topping left much to be desired, flavorless and mostly fat. £11 on average for a bowl of ramen isn't worth it, and in Soho, there are much better options like Bone Daddies, which is right down the street. Also had a side of Shishito Padron Peppers, which sound interesting, but for £7, save your cash as these were quite lifeless and dull. You get 10 or so little green peppers with dipping salt, womp womp. When we went, they were out of fried brussels sprouts. The venue was incredibly stuffy, hot, and uncomfortable, and we had to request glasses of water multiple times. Location is a little hectic as it's right on the edge of Shaftesbury so you're going to have to hack through the crowds of tourists just to get to the little nook where the shop sits on Denman. I wanted to return to try the bao tacos, but after this experience, I'll probably save the hassle and calories for a more interesting place like Bao Soho. I'd even take my chances at Ippudo. read more

Shoryu was a pleasant surprise for me. As a ramen lover I'm always up to try new restaurants that claim to be great at preparing it. Plus, it would be my girlfriend's first ramen experience. The menu is self explanatory so that newbies won't feel aside. I had the shoryu signature ramen and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was amazing. I can definitely say this was the best ramen I have ever had! (I've never been to Japan ;) ) Overall I was happy with the experience specially because we both enjoyed it a lot! I would just point that the waitresses could be a little bit more proactive and outgoing. Oh...I almost forgot. The mochi is AMAZING!!! read more

Shoryu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - London, XGL

Very close to Piccadilly Square, in one of the side streets. Being welcomed in Japanese at this restaurant already makes the experience worth while. It's usually very crowded but I've always been lucky so far. The tonkotsu ramen are one of the best I've had, I went for the signature dish and every time it did not disappoint! I ordered gyoza as an appetizer once but could not finish the ramen then. Big portion! read more

Shoryu Ramen - Signature tonkotsu ramen - never seems to disappoint! - Ramen Near Me - London, XGL

More like3.5 star but I want to round it up to four since service was good and efficient. Coming from NYC where ramen shops are popping up every corner and have been to Japan multiple times, I couldn't say Shoryu is in the top tier. But with all fairness, it is above average among ramen shops outside of Japan. I was introduced to the shoryu by a friend when I visited London last week. We went to the one on Denman street on a Friday night. Busy but the wait time wasn't too bad, prob about 20 mins. For comparison, the wait time for Ippudo or other somewhat decent ramen shops are at least 45 mins. I tried the Kimchi Seafood Tonkotsu which, instead of the traditional char siu topping, came with loads of seafood, amago, Kikurage, Nori, Spring Onion, Beansprouts, Sesame & Fried Shallots. The broth was rich and though not as spicy as I would prefer, warming me up tip to toe on this cold winter night in London. We also took the sake flight which was pretty good value - for under 10 pounds you got 4 shorts of sake - junmai and ginjo, I believe. I also tried the White Natural at Regent Street location during lunch the other day. It was vegetarian friendly - ramen in a Shiitake & Konbu Gluten Free Soy Broth. it was light yet packed with flavor; feels very healthy. Perfect for lunch. Best part - quick and no wait. Services at both locations were consistently good. Will definitely come back next time in London. read more

Shoryu does some things very well. There's no denying that their soup base is good, it's not ridiculously rich like bone daddies but you get enough to order another portion of noodles when you're feeling hungry. You get the choice of tenacity with noodles, so if it's not to your liking, well, it's your own fault. The starters (I've had the salmon okra, the fried chicken, the Hirata buns), are all okay, but over-priced. If it were just the noodles I would give Shoryu an easy 4 stars. However, some of the flavours are a bit hit and miss. I never understood the yuzu ramen, which is sad, being both yuzu and a ramen lover. All in all though, generally happy with the tonkotsu based ramen, the tonkotsu flavours comes out well in all of them, even the curry ramen. Do visit, everyone I talk to has their Shoryu/Bone Daddies/Tonkotsu/Ittenbaru allegiance. I'm still mixing things up ;) read more

Ticking another ramen place off the list! For the London ramen lover I would place the type of ramen as a cross between Ippudo and Bone Daddies. They have a bit more adventurous combinations (for the Bone daddies lover) but also classic taste (for the ippudo lover). My friend had a cha siu bun which was tasty ( I didn t try it). As for the ramen, my friend got the classic tonkotsu and I had the dracula tonkotsu. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the broth was super tasty, although my ramen were overflowing with garlic (hence the name dracula) it didn't mask the beautiful taste of the broth which I found really good! Shoryu is right up there with all the favorite ramen places in London and I would gladly come back anytime!!! read more

It was a late night and I was roaming around Piccadilly Circus, hunting for a bit of food after a long evening of exploration. At 10 PM, I happened to stumble on Shoryu and they were open. Service and seating was very quick, primarily due to the time of night - and even at that, the server was very kind and attentive. I ordered the chicken wings and Karaka Tonkotsu and both items were spot on. The flavors were strong, but not overpowering, and the ramen itself was cooked just right. Their drinks were good, but not great or really mind-blowing. If you're around the area and looking for a late night spot to eat, this will fit the bill. read more

Shoryu gets really crowded really fast. We tried coming here a couple times previously but have been scared off by the queue. To avoid queues, come at an off-peak time! Only when we decided to go for a very early dinner were we able to be seated immediately. Anyway on to the food... the karaage hirata bun is a MUST! Really delicious. Soft bun with juicy fried chicken. I had the dracula ramen, which was very nice. The broth was rich and tasty, but wasn't overly salty (which is my main complaint about Bone Daddies). My one complaint was that there was far too much garlic! I usually love extra garlic, but they were a bit too generous for my liking. Come here for delicious ramen. Enough said! read more

Ever since I saw their huge bowls of ramen and their Hirata buns through the window of the Carnaby branch I have been dying to go here. A friend and I decided to go for dinner before the cinema so chose a restaurant closer to the Piccadilly Vue. On a Friday at 6pm we hadn't booked but were able to walk straight in and get a table (bewarned the whole table must be present, as I was 15 minutes early but they wouldn't seat me until my friend arrived). The staff are friendly and you receive a warm welcome (including a bang of their gong) on the way in as you pass through their iconic Shoryu curtains which adorn the doors of each restaurant. We chose the hottest day of the year for a massive hot bowl of ramen however the restaurant itself was kept cool with air con and luckily the restaurant had plenty of tables so we weren't crammed in even though we were sat on a sharing table. We had received a flyer while walking down the street for free gyoza each (such luck!) when ordering a bowl of ramen so we decided to take it steady on the buns (needed to save room for cinema snacks!) and just ordered one pork belly bun (£4.50) to share. Most of their ramen dishes are based on their tonkotsu pork broth (Each pan takes over 12 hours cooking and is made of collagen, fat, marrow and calcium and combined with 'motodare', a concentrated base of soy and spices to create the final soup) and then laden with thin noodles, which they ask how you would like them cooked (I went for medium). They all contain char siu barbecue pork belly, nitamago egg, kikurage mushrooms, spring onion, sesame, ginger, nori seaweed. The variants from there allow you to get a slightly spicier broth, a broth with lots of garlic, meatier broth and also a choice with seafood or chicken in. I chose the Dracula, which has the addition of caramelised garlic mayo and garlic chips sprinkled on top and my friend went for the Kotteri which had a much meatier broth. Both were really really good - filling, warm and HUGE. Neither of us could finish them. I thought there was plenty of pork (which was so tender) however my friend thought there could have been more for the price. My one niggle was the cold egg however I just didn't eat it :). On the table you also have a pot of sesame (which I didn't spill - honest) and a bulb of garlic along with a crusher so you are able to add additional sesame/garlic to your taste, which I thought was a nice touch. The pork gyoza are served in a VERY hot skillet but to be honest for me were a little bland and chewy. The only real let down was the pork bun which was cold with a chewy, glaggy bun - I have definitely had better from a few different restaurants in Soho. To drink we both stuck to tap water which made the bill with tip a very reasonable £16 each (with free gyoza as well). Although it is £12 per bowl of ramen, I would definitely come again. They are so filling there is no need for any sides so for a delicious tasty dinner out £12 seems reasonable. I will wait to enjoy on my next ramen on a winters evening though. read more

I like the location and set-up of the Denman St spot but somehow the food tastes better at the Regent St location. There is a more space at this location and the furniture and airiness just feels cozy. The Piri Piri broth was spicy and flavorful but from what I remember, my tasting of this dish at the Regent St location was better. Also, similar to the Regent St. location, I think that the fried chicken could have a crispier crust. Other than that, the dish had nice juicy white tender chunks and came with some spicy powder and Japanese mayo. Service was fast and friendly.

Am absolutely in love with this place! The location is a lot more spacious than its other location and not to mention to ramen is stays true to its authenticity in terms of flavour, toppings, and those extra dingalings you get to add on to your bowl for that extra kick. Mushroom with tofu and their fishcake starters are rather oily.. Was rather disappointed with their fishcake when it came in form of those rolled ready made ones you can get in supermarkets. The cheese wasn't particular either. As for the ramen. Oh bless me, I'm already salivating. Dracula Tonkotsu's broth was as described, thick, and bowl full of flavour. The pork based soup tasted a bit fatty.. But in a good and authentic way. The full on toppings also didn't disappoint. I'll give the quality of their thin noodle 4.5 stars. Either way, it tasted heavenly, heavily garlicy, and should never be ordered if you're on a date. Their ramen ranges from £9.50 to £11.50, I'm stuffed, though the price is a little steep for ramen don't you think? But again, this is London. You're eating Japanese in London. Europe. God, how I miss those cheaply billed New York days.. My second visited called for a miso based broth which I had secretly regretted after glazing over my friend's bowl of Char Shui tonkotsu. And hell yea there were so many pieces of char shui my friend literally said-- 'can't deal'. Oh, and sights of some Japanese eating there, so that should be a good confirmation right? Overall, Ichiban Y'ALL! read more

Most people so far will have tried this place as a result of the superbly generous 50% off ramen deal. As a result will have missed out on some of the starters. This review is partly to tell you don't, as the Hirata buns are unmissable. Service is not normally one of my complaints (food is king amongst all) But when it affects me getting a free starter, it's gonna make it into my review D: Basically we queued for a while then were taken to our seats by a man that reminded me very much of Mr Miyagi from the Karate kid (no offense to anyone intended) with a friendly smile and similar dress. There we were left. Nobody attempted to ask us if we wanted drinks, nor were we given any menu. So we just kind of sat there a while till we decided it was becoming a joke and asked for menus. Once ordering, we looked around and little plates of raw cabbage were being handed to every new group that was being seated around us. Now I didn't remotely want or have a need for cabbage at the time, but if you don't get something everyone else is getting, then it's a matter of principle. This really annoyed our group. Anyway, this poor service is reflected in the 4 stars. The food itself with no feelings to hurt, was a different story. Stunning. The starters, Hirata buns with bbq pork, chicken and salmon were TASTY. Think soft white chinese steam buns flat and folded in half. I ate two by myself and they aren't small. We also got the soft shell tempura crab which was okay. That extra hirata bun and the crab was a small mistake along with ordering 1 ramen and an extra to share with the group. After all 50% off means you should eat 50% more right??? Well the ramen soon arrived and I was around 40% full but looking forward to the delicious Hokkaido curry ramen that had been smelling so good on the table for a while. The chicken karate well crispy, despite being submerged in hot soup. The pork broth still standing out against what appeared to taste like katsu curry. I was convinced I had ordered the best dish. The noodles were particularly nice. Good texture and firmness without getting soggy throughout the meal. The cold ramen is also good. The chilled spicy mince sauce was different to anything I've tasted as a dipping sauce with flavours hard to identify, but citrus was quite strong. Anyway, I was sad that our group couldn't finish the extra bowl of cole ramen. Anyways, I hope to go back, hopefully before the 50% promotion ends :) We shall not make the same mistakes we did on this visit and over-order with some luck. read more

Shoryu Ramen - Katsu Curry Ramen. - Ramen Near Me - London, XGL

So the word on the street is that Shoryu has been opened by the Japan Centre, so off I went for lunch with a friend. The place is sleek looking, black design, dual store space, although the tables are slightly cramped together. At lunch time it was super busy, must be a testament to how good its food is. I believe I had the dracula ramen (can't remember - see photo) and I remember the broth was quite mild but I prefer this broth to the broth at Tonkotsu and at Bonedaddies. The egg however, pales in comparison to the runny yolk amazingness that is the egg at Bonedaddies. It is not too thick and creamy, how this compares to authentic Japanese I could not say, but it was nice and gentle to my sensitive stomach. Drinks on the other hand could do with some work. My lunch mate's drink tasted horrible, and mine was just decent. It felt like too much ice went in so it went a bit too watery. Please introduce some nice drinks for people like me, I have a super sweet tooth. I do not really care that much if the drink is super unhealthy :) Overall, I think I would come back here again, maybe to try the hirata bun, but Flesh & Buns come first for that. read more
