    An elevated ramen spot inside the upscale Selfridges department store (in their fancy "food court" area). Ramen was ok; soup flavorful. Service was relatively fast. Environment pleasant by the standard of food court. Price wasn't cheap.

    Tonkotsu Ramen - broth was overly thick. Not the best ramen...terrible IMO.

    Yikes, this is probably the worst ramen place I have ever been to. As one who has been to Japan, and also coming from the San Francisco Bay Area where there are some pretty good and authentic tasting ramen houses, this was the worst. I went with the Tonkotsu ramen and I opted for the extra noodles and mushrooms. I really didn't see a difference with the "Extra Noodles" and that costs me an extra £2. The broth was terribly thick as well. I can see why they had the option for extra broth too as I decided against shelling out another £1 or £2 for extra flavored water. Worst idea ever to come here. Total waste of a meal on my first trip to London. But it wasn't really my choice as my friends were starved and we were in Selfridges and this was a convenient choice due to the cold London weather. 1 star from me as "Eek! methinks not!".

    Coming from LA I have high standards for my ramen noodles. The noodles at this spot is pretty average. I ordered their tonkatsu, their flagship noodles has ok broth. You can taste the bone being cooked for a long time and the both is rather creamy, however somehow it's a bit on the bland side. The garlic could be a bit stronger. The pork belly fell apart and the egg was a tad overcooked. It's better than an average fast food restaurant but definitely not a gourmet noodles place worth going out of your way to try.

    Tonkatsu Ramen was just what I was looking for. It was flavorful and the egg was medium boiled just the way I like it. Being in London I didnt think that there would be good Ramen especially at a food court. They also have a delicious hot sauce that I put into my soup. It will be my go to ramen place. I also spoke with the guy behind the counter and they have a full restaurant as well. Another bonus is that they have really good Japanese beers- more than just the normal Asahi and Sapporo. I wanted to try all of them. The gyoza was good but they steam them- got a little sticky. As a freshly made gyoza I think they would taste great fried too.

    We stopped here during a shopping excursion on Oxford Street. The restaurant is located inside the food court at Selfridge's department store, so as you can imagine it's quite packed and tough to find a spot to sit - especially if you are with a large party. Service was fairly quick, and the ramen was good enough to fill the void. Broth could have used a bit more flavor, but the noodles were cooked perfectly. The egg in my ramen had quite nice flavor. I enjoyed adding their homemade chili oil/paste to spice the ramen up a bit. I admit that I do like things super spicy, so my palate is probably not like most people. All in all, a good spot for a quick bite especially on a cold, rainy day when you need a bit of warming up.

    Soy base soup was good coz I don't really like thick broth. Had to wait a bit during lunch hour, very few seats. Inside Selfridge so convenient to eat something after shopping.

    Been a looooong time! Really need to find more legit places!

    Very authentic Ramen. My kids loved it and said this was one of their favorites. Staff was super nice as well.

    Is it crazy to call this place the best soup place in the world.... maybe but it was definitely the…read morebest we ever had. I could have sworn I left a review of this place when we were here a year a go... but it is not here. We are going to be back in London in Feb and there are about 5 must do things when we get back... and this is one of them. A year ago we were wandering around this part of London... sort of lost. We know we wanted to have soup so we were stopping at every restaurant and reading the menus. It was a cold misty day so the day screamed SOUP. We were starting to think Londoners don't eat soup! We were about to give up because we had gone past most of the restaurants area when this place appeared. It was small and unassuming. There was a young happy (Portuguese ?) guy serving soup from about 8 or so big kettles of soup with fresh... and really good, bread. We had wandered in tired and wet and that soup was amazing. We had two different kinds (I forget which) and both were just great. It made the evening into something magical, and not dreary, cold, and wet. So we will always return to this place when we have the opportunity to come back to London.

    We enjoyed our dishes very much!, the soups we tried were out of this world, we are from the US and…read moreback home you will find such quality only in 5 star and expensive places. This place is down to earth and the taste from another planet :)

    Visited The Queens Arms while in the area. Best pub experience! I think you have to get there early…read moreif you are coming for dinner or you have to reserve your table. I'm not sure on that, it's just something I thought we caught on to before we left and there started to be RESERVED tents going on the tables. We went and had Scotch Egg, Calamari, Arancini, fish & chips and STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. Oh. My. Goodness! First the Scotch Egg. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but it was....ok. It was a little plain. A little tasteless. They could have thrown a few spices into the meat, just a little something. To say that we've made better at home wouldn't be far out. But still good. The calamari was cooked just right. It's what you expect out of a calamari appetizer. Was it the best you'll ever have? Not really. Worth the price? Add it to your appetizer list! The rice balls, which is arancini is, were good. Add a little salt to the top and they were, also, as you'd expect. The fish & chips were exactly as we were hoping when visiting an English Pub for fish & chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, the coating was fabulous, and of course the chips were a perfect compliment to the fish. A great fish & chips experience. The star of the show was the Sticky Toffee Pudding. What a treat! Granted I've nothing to compare it to, this was my first time having it, but whether I've had it before or not THIS was perfection. Perfect texture, the flavour was amazing, the caramel drizzle was perfectly proportioned, and the little bit of ice cream on the side was just perfect. I would go back here simply on this dessert alone. As for the drinks, because, you know, it's a pub....I couldn't say. I don't drink alcohol but my Diet Coke was great! Fresh bottle! ....I suppose I could have gotten a non-alcoholic beer. Wait....did they have non-alcoholic beer there? SOMEONE FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE NON-ALCOHOLIC BEER THERE. The atmosphere was great. I can see how it would be perfect in the evening and on into the night. Very welcoming with a great looking bar.

    Food is always superb. Its best to make reservations because it is a busy place every time we have…read morebeen.
