Kanada-Ya 金田家

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.

one of the best ramens I've ever had! I had tried the tonkotsu x the first time, and the second time I went for the truffle one - my current favorite! if you're looking for more flavour, this is definitely the best choice. great service, I 100% recommend it. can't wait to to be back again!
