Kanada-Ya 金田家

Good ramen, onigiri and fried chicken was very tasty too. However, the service was noticeably poor - no one to greet us, had to ask twice for water even though it was a boiling hot day, and the waitress somehow completely missed my partner’s order so we had to order again once we realised his main dish was not coming. Room looks a little dated, and my bar chair was broken. The toilet was dirty. You’re probably better off going to another one of the Kanada-Ya locations in London.

Very satisfying bowl of ramen! I searched Google review and found this 4m5 stars establishment. I tried the Spicy Yuzu ramen, and it was full of flavor. They use a mixture of pork and chicken broth. The chicken chasu tasted great with the pickled ginger, giving it a sweet and sour finish. I chose the Very firm noodles texture, it came out softer than preferred. But I requested for Kaedama (extra noodles) and requested for extra firm, this time it came out perfect! My take may be that if you're someone who loves a bite in your ramen, make sure to emphasize "extra" very firm! Great place to visit if you're missing Asian food and love ramen!

My all-time favorite ramen place! I studied abroad in London in 2018 and ate at the original location in Covent Garden and consistently at the Islington location. This location definitely holds up and brought back so many great memories. The noodles are perfect thickness and the broth is so creamy, hearty, and not too salty like most ramen in the US.

Ordered meals: Tonkotsu x Ramen with added egg, takana, and chasu chicken and my boyfriend the Chicken Katsu Curry. Tonkotsu x Ramen: I really liked the broth, very flavorful and hearty broth. The noodles were also nice, but I would like it if they had a bit more of it. The pork meat was tender, but too little if I had not added the chicken topping. And the chicken was okay, but I was expecting it to come inside the dish, warm with the broth. The dish as a whole was good, but I think that for the price, I expected more. Maybe more toppings by default instead of having to add the extra ones to be more satisfied. And, when adding extra, better portions, added to the whole dish. Chicken Katsu Curry: My boyfriend was not a fan of the dish. Because it was our 1st time trying, we can't compare to any other, but here's what he thought of it --> rice was okay, the chicken portion, although crunchy and nice, was smaller than expected and the cabbage was just plain, which he was not a fan of, and the Curry itself seemed just like a plain sauce, it lacked some vegetable or something in it. In geral, it's not worth the price for him, too small chicken portion, not as filling. In brief, OK, but not worth the price. Service was good and fast, and the place was ok. There is nothing special to either but no complaints. Dessert: I almost forgot, but we ordered a piece of ice cream mochi with strawberry flavor. It was nice!

Was so excited to come back here as I used to frequent this restaurant in the Piccadilly branch alottt while I lived London in 2022. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the standards I set for Kanada-ya and I wouldn’t say I would come back again. The only thing that was really good is the Tori Karage. The ramen was kinda disappointing.

Friendly service, and good food on a rainy Monday evening. Couldn't have asked for better; the lady who looked after us was great with my daughter, gave clarifications on the menu, and was attentive without being overbearing. The food was delicious. Will definitely go again if we're in the area. (Annoyingly I lost the receipt with our server's name, so apologies to her that I can't thank her in the review!)

I had a wonderful experience as I remembered in years ago, now as it gets harder for me to have lovely ramen as I live in Scotland and no longer in London, this place still holds a place in my heart, thank you for the meal!

Ordered Tonkatsu x Plus eggs. Broth was acceptable enough but the ramen was a little on the soft side, starchy even though we asked for “firm”. The portion looked small but it was surprisingly substantial. Service was friendly and polite. Food served promptly.
