Ramo Ramen Soho

Ramo Ramen in Soho never disappoints! The pandesal garlic bread was a total wow, and I keep coming back for their katsu curry. They’ve got really good lunch deals too, and the staff are always so warm and welcoming, it’s such a great spot.

Everything about our visit was amazing, we were served by Mayar (going by the name on the receipt) who was so lovely and friendly, we were seated and served very quickly. The food was delicious and so unique, you won’t find flavours like this anywhere else. We started with the garlic bread which had a lovely sweet and salty taste, and was great to dip in the ramen broth. We also had the chicken wings which were sweet, slightly spicy and so crispy! Both of us went for the oxtail ramen, which was incredibly rich! The portion of oxtail is very generous and the peanut broth works so well with it, even the egg was so flavourful. As it is so rich it can feel quite heavy but I found this filling and indulgent, but there are lighter options if you prefer. It’s halal too- we will definitely be back!

Main was good but not excellent. Chicken ramen lacked spiciness and although was deep in flavour wasn’t delicious. The fried chicken katsu curry was good but the cucumber slices added no flavour to the dish and was so tiny in portion it was just there for decoration. The guava ade is literally just Rubicon diluted with sparkling water, do not get it. The dumplings were delicious though but extremely overpriced - £9 for 3 dumplings? Crazy. The garlic bread everyone apparently raves about is just a single brioche bun topped with a small amount of butter and chives. It is not worth it and is something anyone could make at home. Service was eh, while they can answer questions and smile they don’t provide proper service and when we requested for our food to come all together instead of appetisers first the waiter just said “its gonna come later” and disregarded us. Overall, for the price it wouldn’t be worth it.
