10 Best restaurants for Ramen in London

Kanada-Ya 金田家

If you’re looking for your new favourite London ramen then look no further. We got the Tonkostu X ramen (decadent, silky and fatty), Chicken Chashu ramen (proper chicken smack of flavour) and ebi katsu (eat asap, they’re crazy juicy when hot!). Firm and regular noodles. Not too salty.

10 mins wait outside in line. Grab a seat near the window and watch the world go by.

I had the Truffle Ramen with added complementary toppings and started with an Onigiri filled with chashu. I liked the rice ball itself, but the pork filling was quite hard and did not feel like it was slow cooked at all. I ordered my noodles "barikata" (very firm) but they came out very soft, almost overcooked. It might be because they use very thin noodles, either way it was not what I expected. The broth was not very nice either. It had a strange olive-like bitterness that did not complement the noodles or toppings.

The chashu pork loin in the ramen was hard and not tender at all. As for the truffle, it tasted cheap and left an unpleasant stank on my breath for hours. I know truffle is strong, but this did not taste like good truffle. I also do not like that you have to pay extra to add an egg when the ramen is already pricey.

The service was pretty average and they seemed bothered.

I was particularly disappointed with this dish, but I might try another ramen on a future visit to see if it is better.

I’m really disappointed that the taste is not as good as before 🥲 (i was a regular here since 2015-2018) and I used to think that this is the best ramen ever. But now the ramen itself is not as thick as before, so the flavors aren’t that rich. The waiting time is long as always (came in at dinner time). But well the karaage was a win though 👌 love the wasabi sauce so much.

As all other Kanada-Ya shops in London they are the place to go for good Ramen. Will come here every time I visit London for their Ramen. They have a few different branches and this branch is slightly smaller than others but the food is still amazing. Definitely a must try if you’re in London. Suitable more for smaller groups, if larger groups best to look for other bigger branches

Thank you for the complimentary edamame!!
The edamame had this garlic rock salt which was so addictive.
Food came out quick, the staff were so friendly.
Got one chicken and one tofu ramen
The chicken ramens broth rich and deep.
The soy milk broth in the tofu ramen was something new but was pleasantly surprised.
The portion sizes was perfect for leftovers to take away.
All ingredients tasted of high quality.
Will be returning for sure.

Kanada-Ya

I haven't had Ramen for a long time, and the last time I visited Kanada Ya was the Covent Garden branch. That place was packed but service was swift and it flowed smoothly. I visited the Haymarket branch on this occasion.

My lunchtime order was the large Tonkotsu X Ramen and the green tea. The table is so small where I sat and with a companion, I would think the table will be crowded.

The large felt small even, the chashu was thinly sliced. It would be a better mouthfeel if it was more thickly sliced. The broth was moreish, and tea was fine.

My First Ramen in London: A Promising Start with Room for ImprovementI

Finally tried ramen in London and opted for the Tokonsu X (without nitamago) at this popular spot. The bowl featured a rich pork-and-chicken bone broth, five slices of chashu pork belly, wood ear fungus, and spring onion, with firm noodles and nori as my chosen add-ons.The broth was savory and well-balanced, offering clear notes of both pork and chicken. The thoughtful touch of a preheated bowl kept the soup piping hot throughout the meal. The chicken karaage was exceptional—tender, juicy, and practically melt-in-your-mouth.That said, the portion size felt modest for the price, especially for a signature bowl. While the quality was solid, the overall value left something to be desired.Verdict: A strong 3.5/5. Great flavors and execution, but the portion-to-price ratio keeps it from being a standout. I’d return to try other variations, but with tempered expectations.

I ordered the chicken ramen, I’ve tried in many places so far this is the best also Chatgpt’s first recommended place 🤣 try the chicken one if not eating pork sooooo good delicious 🤤 they also give a complementary green tea either hot or cold which I found so cute 🥰

Food was delicious and authentic as were the drinks. I haven’t been to Kanada-Ya in a few years but it was just as good. The menu has also expanded but remained authentic. I will return.

I bought two plum rice balls. Since they were made fresh after I ordered, they were warm and I was happy about that. However, they weren’t firmly packed, so they fell apart easily. The taste, though, was good enough.

Had a good experience for dinner at this branch.

We ordered the tonkotsu x ramen which was delicious, flavoursome and was a decent portion size. The broth was rich and silky.

The staff were friendly and provided great service, and the restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere.

There's a good selection of food and drink options on the menu. I really like my iced oolong tea.

Had a quick lunch here last week. The ramen was delicious, and the restaurant was spacious and clean. Also, there’s no service charge here, which is a nice bonus!

Wow, this place used to be passable but can now only be described as overpriced worse than instant ramen. We ordered gyoza and chicken paiten ramen for the tokyo signature wavy yellow noodles. Base ramen cost around £19, with extras and gyoza around £33 for one person (spendy but for good ramen delivered I was willing to pay). Noodles were hard, thick, brittle and not in an aldente way - it's not an exaggeration that shin ramen would have been more enjoyable. Gyoza tasted hard and frozen, similar to waitrose offering. That's the last time I'll be visiting this place.

If you are vegetarian or only eat halal, there are few options here.

The vegetarian option for ramen was not good at all. I understand that the base of a ramen broth is traditionally meat based so I am not complaining. But maybe this isn’t a dish that is meant to be vegetarian, a taste nice!

The other option are the croquettes, curry and rice.
The deep fried croquettes are really really nice and curry sauce compliments it well.

Yuzu lemonade is really nice and refreshing too. On the sweeter side.

Service is exceptional.

Both ramens had a good broth, but the noodles didn’t really soak up any flavour, they just tasted plain. The crispy toppings in the mushroom ramen were already soggy when they arrived. Maybe putting them on a little side plate would’ve helped?

Considering ramen is traditionally a fast food, the wait felt quite long. It looked like there was only one chef handling everything, including deliveries, so maybe that’s why.

Our waiter was friendly, but there is really no need to ask if we want to pay separately.

All in all, not bad, but probably wouldn’t go back.

Deliveroo UK

This one’s a bit of a mixed experience, and I think a few factors could make or break it depending on when you visit. I went on a Saturday evening without a booking. It was super busy, which is usually a good sign, but I had to wait around 15 minutes outside for a table. Once seated, the service felt rushed and impersonal – staff were clearly overwhelmed, running around like headless chickens, and it felt like they just wanted to get people in and out quickly.

I asked for some guidance with the menu since there are a lot of ramen options, and while the server gave me a recommendation, it wasn’t very helpful. I was surprised that the ramen doesn’t come with an egg as standard and you had to pay to have it – though the marinated egg I ordered was very tasty.

I mentioned that I enjoy spicy food and was recommended their spicy version of ramen. Unfortunately, it was way too spicy – so much so that it completely overpowered the flavour and richness of the broth. It didn’t taste like a properly balanced spicy ramen, more like a regular broth with loads of chilli sauce mixed in. At that level of heat, it would’ve made much more sense to serve the chilli oil on the side and let customers adjust it themselves.

That said, the ingredients themselves were fresh and good quality, so I do believe their standard ramen bowls are probably much better. But overall, between the lack of care in service and the overpowering dish, the experience just didn’t leave a good taste in my mouth – and I wouldn’t return to try anything else.

I came here with high expectations but was a bit let down. First of all, my all time favourite ramen will always be tonkotsu pork ramen. So, I order it every time I go to any ramen places. Their tonkotsu ramen has great flavoursome broth and the noodles was cooked to my liking. One of my complains was...they charge an extra £2.85 if you want an egg in your ramen. Which shocked me truly as this is the first ever ramen place that I went to that charge for an egg. I thought it automatically comes with all ramens. Second was, the pork, though thinly cut, it wasn't tender at all. I'm used to kinda melt in your mouth pork belly in tonkotsu. So, was really disappointed with my ramen. The best part was the Karaage chicken. It's also one of my favourite Japanese food so I was well impressed with it.

They serve authentic bowl of Japanese ramen. Maybe it‘s a matter of preference, but the noodles and the broth were just mediocre for me.

Ordered some ebi furai (battered shrimp) on the side. Were crunchy and yummy, nothing especially out of the ordinary.

On the other hand, it‘s unusual to find Abura Soba in Europe and they were quite yummy!

Prices are acceptable, considering they‘re located in Central London. Worth trying.

Ramen was yummy and the broth flavoursome. It's a very busy place and the service is very slow due to lack of staff available, they are really nice though. It definitely felt very overpriced. We spent £50 for two rames and I did not get any additions on mine.

Good ramen, onigiri and fried chicken was very tasty too.

However, the service was noticeably poor - no one to greet us, had to ask twice for water even though it was a boiling hot day, and the waitress somehow completely missed my partner’s order so we had to order again once we realised his main dish was not coming.

Room looks a little dated, and my bar chair was broken. The toilet was dirty. You’re probably better off going to another one of the Kanada-Ya locations in London.

The place is quite easy to miss, tucked away among a few newly built residential blocks. There were a few empty tables, but they hadn’t been cleared yet. The staff told us we’d need to wait about 15–20 minutes — I think there was only one person on the floor, which didn’t seem very reasonable. Still, I’d been looking for the place for ages and was pretty hungry, so we decided to wait. Luckily, the tonkotsu noodles were delicious, but the yakitori was far too salty and overpriced, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

Food was great. Ramen was up to standard. Would definitely come again. But the staff was trying their best its was just too busy for them at 2pm Sunday afternoon. Almost full. I'd like the music to be a bit lower so people can chat easier. It's not a pub.

Visited Kanada-Ya in Ealing Broadway today, and it was a great experience! The service was quick, and the cozy atmosphere made it even better. If you're looking for authentic Japanese ramen, I’d definitely recommend this spot. We tried the Chashu Don and Abura Soba Pork Belly, both were delicious. For dessert, we had Mochi Ice Cream. Floor staff Louis and Olivia were amazing. No service charge, which is a nice touch tho i left a £2 tip to show my appreciation. Will be back for sure.

My 1st time here, we were very welcomed by a nice girl who treated us really well.
Service was quick, and the food was really tasty, a proper taste of Japanese food.
The desert, I will definitely choose again 1000crepe Ruby.
The tea was nice, too.
The restaurant was clean and tidy, I will definitely come back again.
Congratulations to all the team.

Friendly welcome as first time visiting. It was quiet time of day mid week. It’s a self order via QR code and the food arrived less than ten minutes. Piping hot and extremely tasty along with the ginger & sauce condiments. I was pleasantly surprised how effective a home chicken broth is on a drizzly cloudy day. Quite fulfilling. Oyster mushrooms are a definite hit for me too.
