"The head chef at this restaurant between Old Street and the Barbican may be English, but the menu — like the chef — is bilingual. This thoughtfulness from chef Ian Wheatley, who studied at ramen school in Japan, translates to the food itself — the noodles are made in-house and have a nice bounce to them (although texture can be specified). Wheatley’s menu also offers classical Japanese dishes like brothless abura soba with tare and hiyashi chuka (chilled ramen) rarely seen in the U.K." - MiMi Aye
