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.
