Halal Reviews for Kanada-Ya Soho

I visited Kanada-Ya in London with a group of people, and while the ramen was absolutely worth trying, be prepared to queue, we waited more than 30 minutes in line before getting seated. The place is small and very popular, so the wait makes sense, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re hungry. Once inside, the vibe is cozy and minimal, very much a no-frills ramen shop focused on the food. I ordered their tonkotsu ramen and it delivered: rich, creamy broth, great noodle texture, and really flavorful toppings. It’s clear why people keep coming back. Seating is a bit tight, but the food comes out quickly once you’re in.

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.

Enjoyed the chicken katsu curry for lunch. But there was a construction going on right in front of the restaurant very loud and dusty, I was stressed. Also when it was getting crowded, felt stuffy wouldn’t want to stay longer. Probably suitable for a quick lunch only.

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.
