Halal Reviews for Kanada-Ya Angel

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.

+ Broth was flavorful. + Karage was very tender and juicy. + Great texture of the noodle - Chashu was dry - Truffle paste has some artificial plastic-y taste

A great trendy ramen bar, that makes authentic, fresh Japanese food. A must try place for lunch or dinner! Great for kids size portions.
