Japanese Restaurant Seto
Restaurant · Camden Town
5-6 Plender St, London NW1 0JN, United Kingdom
"A bowl of Seto’s delicate miso ramen is a perfect meal any night of the week. The low-key Japanese restaurant in Camden is a bustling hub of solo diners, students, and groups of friends. Call ahead as a free table, even for one, is not a given. It’s the noodle soup you should pay the most attention to. The carefully made broth is a pork and chicken mixture, and you can get it topped with chewy chashu pork, moist chicken breast, as well as piles of bamboo shoots, spring onion, and gooey ni tamago egg.

"Popular with solo diners, students, and anyone with a taste for good ramen, Seto is a low-key Japanese restaurant in Camden that is often the answer when your stomach is asking rumbling questions on a Wednesday evening. The menu spans sushi to ramen to rice dishes, as well as some excellent gyoza, but it’s their noodle soups that are most worth exploring. Tonkotsu, chashu, miso, and shoyu—and we’d favour these light, saltier ones—broths are all on the menu, and at lunch a bowl costs just £9." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager

The carefully made broth is a pork and chicken mixture, and you can get it topped with chewy chashu pork, moist chicken breast, as well as piles of bamboo shoots, spring onion, and gooey ni tamago egg. With both light broths and creamy tonkotsu options covered, Seto is one of north London’s realest ramen destinations." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager
"There’s a humming vibe to Seto on pretty much every night of the week. The neighbourhood Japanese restaurant in Camden is a happy place for solo diners, students, and hungry friends looking for the nourishment of an excellent bowl of ramen. The menu is pretty extensive and the crispy homemade gyoza should always be on your order, but it’s the chicken and pork broths that you come for. If you’re into low-lit ambience then this isn’t your place, but if you’re in the mood for a delicious, good-value dinner, then Seto is a must." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Before ramen obsession spread far and wide and fell prey to otaku nerdery, there were simple bowls of soup noodles that were just … Soup and noodles. Many Japanese customers come to Seto to be reminded of these old-school, crystal-clear shoyu broths, ideally with a lightly oiled bushel of negi (spring onion.) These soups leave diners sated, rather than burping pork fat for the rest of the day. Chilli oil status: Homemade and mild, with a prawn hit." - Jonathan Nunn
