Shoryu Ramen Regent Street

One lovely 🙌Monday, I was walking 🏃‍♀️through London, the weather was cold, I wanted a soup, I remembered that some time ago I had a soup in a Japanese restaurant that had very crispy fried chicken inside. So let's look👀 for the place Shoryu. I found it🙏💖😊And I was very happy. Satomi served me very kindly, I enjoyed my soup so much, then as I love macha, topped with a Matcha Ice Cream and a delicious coffee. I return to this restaurant many more times and recommend. They will go out with their happy belly. Recommend 👍😉😊

1. Flavor and Authenticity: Originally, I was going to order the Tonkotsu Ramen but I ended ordering the Katteri Kakata which was supposed to be much more fuller in body, however, another ramen dish outside of Japan that was lacking the creamy richness typical of a proper tonkotsu soup base. Authentic tonkotsu ramen is celebrated for its deep, umami-rich broth that comes from hours of simmering pork bones. Overall, it had a watered down taste with the notes of the pork falling extremely flat. 2. Customer Service: Subpar customer service can amplify dissatisfaction, especially when expectations are set high based on prior experiences. Attentiveness and politeness are hallmarks of Japanese service culture, which might not be as strictly upheld in other locations. The first waitress seems to not want to be bothered by us when we came in after telling her our situation. 3. Value for Price: Overpriced, mediocre ramen is understandably frustrating, particularly when you know how affordable and delicious authentic ramen can be in Japan.

The tonkatsu broth is full, creamy and so delicious! I like that you can request the firmness of your noodles. We were a group of 6, and like most ramen spots, this restaurant was not very big. Reservations are highly recommended. I enjoyed the food so much I came back a second time!

Wow! Once you had tasted the Shoryu Tonkotsu Ramen Soup, it will bring you as if you were really being in Japanese! It is the genuine Japanese cuisine, must place to go ! Bon appetite!

The staff was really nice and thorough with allergens. It's reasonably priced for being in the middle of London. I strongly recommend their curry. We had a fantastic experience here. Clean toilet.

Fantastic ramen restaurant in the heart of London. We tried the takoyakis, ramen and matcha and mango mochis. Everything was great and the waiters were very attentive! 100% recommendable

Order and pay online. Foods serve quickly. All the foods was delicious.

It was the perfect weather this weekend to grab a hot bowl of ramen! So we decided to head to Shoryu for dinner, it’s top 3 for ramen in London when you google it so it was an easy decision. We ordered the classic ramen bowls , one of them being the richer/meaty broth option. Both of them were very well seasoned and portions sizes were pretty decent too. Service was on the spot too and we didn’t have to wait long. Only disappoint was the quantity of meat in our ramen, I’d say it was rather lean/small serving size for the meat as we literally got only 3 lean pieces of pork, which was disappointing considering you pay almost £16 each for a bowl. Besides that it was very tasty and we loved the experience.

Really cool little ramen spot. Walked in and was able to get a seat right away. Staff were friendly, and service was quick. I liked that they had the option for how long you wanted your noodles cooked, I wish more places did that. Was able to get my noodles more firm which I prefer.

The noodles didn't quite donut for me. Not the perfect texture. And the wait was somewhat longer than expected. And more importantly, the restaurant was a tad on the hot side. Better ventilation would have been better.

Holy God were they a perfect end to a really great night and took pity on a bunch of us who showed up desperate after a show - but man that ramen!!!!! I had the black garlic tonkatsu, one mate had the OG and the other the white, and we shared chicken karage and pork dumplings. It was all AMAZING. And the area is just kind of idyllic.

The ramen was truly excellent, and the broth was impeccable. I also ordered a lychee cocktail and that was DELICIOUS. My dad also really loved the kara age chicken AS HE SHOULD. The chicken was tender and the accompanying sauce honestly slayed. All in all, 10/10. Excellent experience, highly recommend! Also, just the greatest staff. We came by after watching Hadestown around the corner, and the staff were really kind and welcoming, especially at the relatively late hour. We wanted to make sure we wouldn't be holding them up, but they graciously seated us and put our order in quickly so we could maximize our eating time. Thank you again!

Best ramen ever! Truly enjoyed the food and the seaweed salad - good sake selection. Great ambiance- and the Katsu chicken ramen was so great we went back twice

It's just alright. Okay ramen. Okay Gyoza, okay service. In a great location. I've had better Ramen in London. This place is ...... fine.

Excellent service, food, and location! The ramen was fresh and hot, the wine selection was nice, and the restroom was clean! This place is a perfect match for cold weather. The pork bun is amazing! You have to try it!

I would say I am pretty predictable when it comes to finding ramen places. I ALWAYS try to go to at least one ramen place wherever I am. It doesn't always work out but most of the time it does. This time, it worked out. We chose this place because it got good reviews. The inside is really nice, rustic with a modern twist. I'm almost 100% positive we were seated upstairs. My fiancee and his sister both got the tonkatsu ramen. I got the Shoryu Ganso Tonkatsu, which is their signature ramen. I think it's really difficult to f*ck up ramen, so of course, the ramen was really really good. I also got the virgin yuzu mojito, which was tart, but I liked it. I couldn't tell if it was just me but the waitress was a bit short with us. Maybe I was just imagining it. Regardless, I can see why this place gets good reviews. It's a modern-rustic place for great ramen. Perfect place for friends and dates.

Awesome! Quick and delicious. Try the fired chicken rolls and spicy ramen. So good. Decent cocktails too.

The weather forecast in London called for sunshine. That sun never came and it was bitter cold. Nothing helps a cloudy windy cold day go by like a hot bowl of ramen! This place was a short walk from our hotel and we made reservations online in fear of having to wait in a big line. Many Filipinos were inside waiting tables and cooking. So not sure if this location is owned from someone in the Philippines? The food, service, timing was excellent! The ramen broth was excellent with a silky delicious pork flavor and would love to go return when in town.

This place was amazing. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Solid Michelin star ramen located just south of Picadilly Circus in the heart of London. Highly recommend the house ramen which had excellent flavours, generous garnishes and perfect flavour. Would have liked a tiny bit more pork belly but overall was fantastic. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a solid bowl of ramen in London!

We dropped in here one afternoon and were lucky to get a table. This is reservation worthy ramen. Service was attentive and pleasing. We ordered edamame and sweet potato buns. The sweet potato bun is exquisite. A vegetarian option prior to diving into a meaty broth is always welcome. We both order the house specialty ramen and are not disappointed one bit. I know the broth is good because by the end of the meal it is gone. After slurping down some noodles I drank the rest. So good. We would definitely visit this place again.

While visiting London in December, I got a chance to try this Ramen place. Having tried quite a few ramen places in the US, I must say their ramen tastes fantastic! The options of how you want the noodles (soft or hard) is great! Efficient service and clean place. I would recommend

Delicious Tonkatsu ramen and yummy Japanese fried chicken ! I am delighted to find such authentic Japanese ramen in London.

Wrong hours posted on Yelp. Smh sad for ppl to take an Uber here and seeing the wrong hours

A welcome respite amidst the bustle of Piccadilly Square. The rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and jammy eggs felt like a warm hug.

"My favorite stop in London ! and for years I had such a great experience here. The staff is very welcoming. They are very traditional ramen restaurant. They have a great variety for you to choose from and everything was very fresh the broth and the meat are made here. The Ramen was Amazing! The Pork cuts were the best I've ever had, melts in your mouth. Crispy chicken was also pretty good. Ramen broth is so good yummy especially in cold weather. Be prepared for a long wait to be seated though as it's super busy and I can see why! Can't wait to try other things on the menu next time & I Will definitely recommend this place"

Great place and the ramen is amazing. The portion is also great and very filling. We loved everything. We also got the buns which were pretty good.

Honestly, the most rubbish ramen i have ever tasted. Why does this has 4 star review???? doesnt even make sense. Ippudo is bad but this is worse lol. Not worth it to go or maybe if you wanna follow the hype you can but its not worth the money and your time. Not coming back ever!!!

I am so excited to write this review! Today I went to Shoryu Ramen for lunch and from the moment I walked in I knew it was going to be good! I went with a friend who is a ramen virgin and she left wanting more! Hands down the best bowl of Ramen I have had outside of Japan! We arrived around noon and the place was nearly empty! We noticed a lot of tables said reserved but thankfully they had a few open ones in the back. We were one of 2 seated tables. Our server was amazing and quickly came over and took our orders! I wanted something meaty and spicy so I went with the Karaka Tan Tan Tonkotsu! This was the best ramen ever! They ask you hear how you want your noodles. You can have them soft, medium, or hard noodles! I got it with soft noodles. It was a tonkotsu broth with a twist - rich and spicy marinated minced pork instead of one giant piece of pork belly! It had garlic and chiu chow chili oil! It was delicious and I finished every drop of my bowl! As an appetizer we decided to get the bbq pork belly buns on a steamed bun! They were super tasty and wonderful! It was so good! They were huge and had spicy mayo on them. The bun had a piece of cabbage and a cucumber spear on it! Each bite of the bun was delicious! The service was wonderful! Our waiter made sure we had everything we could want! The restaurant is kinda small inside, but it's a traditional ramen shop! I've never been in a ramen shop that's bigger than a counter and a few tables! This ramen shop also has a full bar for those who want a drink. They also give free ice! This is a big deal in Europe! I can't say enough good things about this place! Hands down this was amazing! I have nothing bad to say! I hands down recommended this place and it won't come to a surprise if you see me check in here again this week! I 100% recommend!

This was a wonderful ramen experience. The food was delicious, and the beer was cold. I took the waiters advice on everything I ordered, so I can't tell you the name of any of it, but it was delicious. They provided a bib, which is something I'm not accustomed to, but found very useful, as I tend to get broth on my shirt when slurping ramen.

After a cold day walking around London, the idea of a hot bowl of noodles sounded great. There was a bit of a line to get in so that was a good sign. Turns out this is a chain. To some, that's off putting or inauthentic. But when done in a respectful way - and tasty way, who cares? When you finally get called for saying they hit a drum and yell something that's supposed to be in Japanese. Cute and sets the Japanese motif. I like that you are able to request noodle doneness for the ramen. In general, I found the ramen (we tried two different ones) to be a little bland but otherwise really good. It had the nice soft boiled egg (but with a slightly reddish yolk). The BBQ pork bao was pretty delicious with a substantial piece of meat. The Soho platter was a pretty posh sampler of food including sashimi, tempura, and Kara age chicken for two. They even had a near-frozen Asahi beer that really hit the spot against the fatty broth of the ramen. We skipped the cocktails but they looked really delicious. We skipped dessert but overall, it was a pretty good meal and surprisingly inexpensive vs. expectations. Would definitely recommend this place for ramen cravings!

Visited due to the positive reviews online, but thought the shop was just mediocre. We arrived shortly after 11:30, but the restaurant was behind opening (opening listed was 11:30). After the employees finally gathered themselves, we were sat down and ordered a couple ramens and a takoyaki. The takoyaki arrived first and it was too heavily breaded, the octopus was barely noticeable. There was also way too much of the bonita flakes on top - there wasn't even room for them to flap around. The ramen came, and we were only delivered one. Our server seemed confused, but we were more confused - why would 2 people order 1 bowl of ramen.. the ramen was just ok. The noodles tasted packaged and not consistently cooked between the 2 bowls. The soup tasted less rich than it looked. Wouldn't recommend.

Best Ramen I've had outside of Asia . I remember when I lived in Singapore I used to eat so much Ramen but then I left had found it tough to find something reminiscent. Well I've finally found it and I'm so thrilled. The menu is nice and simple with only delicious dishes. Service was outstanding and Giorgia, the manager of the Regent Street outlet is lovely as is her team. I've left the days of flashy restaurants behind and much prefer the chilled out relaxing environment like Shoryu Ramen. I'll be going back again and again and recommend you do the same.

Amazing Just amazing food! I wish I can come back soon. We were on vacation and found this gem.

A very good ramen place! Love their pork booth ramen, which was smooth and flavorful, yet not salty. The pork belly was also very tender! I also enjoyed the egg. The platter was very tasty, with really good portion. The chicken karaage was well-seasoned and the shrimp tempura went well with the sauce! Takoyaki was so-so, crispy but the internal was tasteless. The service was slow and not attentive. Asked three times for water before it came, and we were seated for 20 minutes already.

I tried to eat at the one in Kingly Court, but the line was long for the tiny space and the people around me were smoking. Fortunately, this location was a short walk, and there was no wait for the seat closest to the door. Since it was just me, and it was quite late, I ordered and ate quickly. I perused the menu and the reviews, and chose the Karaka Tan Tan Tonkotsu (minced pork marinated in white miso, garlic, and chiu chow chili oil, nitamago egg, kikurage mushrooms, spring onions, ginger, and nori). Not knowing the best way to eat the noodles, I went with the standard futsuu. Broth was flavorful, noodles were right toothiness for me, toppings were plentiful, egg was tasty. I underestimated the difficulty of eating minced pork with chopsticks and the curvature of the bowl, but the flavor was great. Maybe some day I can go back with friends to try more, as the Italians next to me had ordered the takoyaki, which looked delicious (both themselves and the expressions on the faces of the Italians).

The ramen tasted similar to what I had in Tokyo and Osaka. I really enjoyed it. And the price is reasonable too.

Best Ramen ever!! Curiously, when taken apart the individual ingredients are really good, but not my favorite. I prefer thicker noodles, the perfect egg and more Kimchee. However, it is this combination that adds to perfection. I had the Spicy Seafood Tonkotsu. I am delighted by these scallops that have a firm texture and full-flavor (being used to farm-raised ones). The Ramen is not spicy and you can add chili oil and grind fresh sesame seed to taste. My companions have the pork version that they love. With a bit extra, you can have a Shoryu bun and a boozy cocktail with your meal. Great if you love Ramen!

Solid tonkotsu ramen. Doesn't taste heavy but when you sip the soup, you know it's a well made broth. I ordered to go and it came well packaged. The noodles and toppings were separated properly to nothing got soggy. The texture of the noodle and egg were right and the cha Siu was good.

Great ramen. Great service. Loved it and will be back again. Not a long wait to get in on a busy Saturday night. We loved everything we ordered.

1. Service - our waiter was awesome. Funny guy, and deserves a tip! He recommended what beer to get, and gave us a little run through of what to eat as well. There, you wait to be seated, order at the table, and pay at your table. 2. Price - Prices may vary depending on what you order. But regarding on Ramen dishes only, it can be from 11 to 15 pounds. 3. Ambiance - Awesome decoration. Looks fitting and petit. 4. Food - My wife and I both had the Shoryu Ganso Tonkotsu. This is their signature ramen noodle soup. We thought it was flavorful and very filling. It is prepared in Pork broth, Char Siu BBQ Pork, Nitamago Egg, Kikurage Mushrooms, Spring Onion, Sesame, Ginger, Nori Seaweed, and fried shallots. 5. Cleanliness - Food and tables were clean, but toilet didn't flush so nicely that night I was there.

Heatwave in London. Warmest summer ever and what better than a super hot face melting bowl of Ramen! Gambate! Itadakimaaaas! I peeked over the door noren and I see this place is packed already. I guess I wasn't the only one mad in the brain to eat hot ramen on a hot day. Anyhoo.. I held up 4 fingers and the hostess seemed to know I meant .. table for 4. So she led me to the tiniest of tables, crammed next to 2 of the tiniest of tables, and with a quick Hai Dozo.. I was left there. But,... but.... I cannot possible traverse the tiny space between the tables to get my seat on the inside. I mean.. people were already eating , and their bowls of ramen was perched on their tables, and I would most def, either knock their table over... or even worst.. go past the tables sideways and put my butt right over their table.. So I gave the hostess a helpless look.. ehh...sumimasen... but she looks away. Fine.. be like that.. so I proceed to wedge myself between table and takes seat.. So uncool. Tho my wife rolled her eyes at me. I needed ramen, I needed something to restore my center. The walking and sightseeing and meal decisions while visiting London has been exhausting. I needed ramen to get back to basic. We got us, Dracula Ramen, Regular Tonkotsu, I think there was Spicy Miso too. tldr;- None was spectacular. It wasn't bad. But it lacked an identity. The noodles was text book, the broth standard, the chashu pedestrian, the toppings bleh. In a sea of ramen.. Shoryu ramen did not stand out one bit. Service was so-so. I don't expect it at a Ramen-ya anyway. So I was fine with bare minimum. I don't know if there is better Ramen in London. This isn't bad, but I would search harder the next time for something better.

Good service, good price, good location We had the Takoyaki and Tonkotsu Ramen. The food was great and quick.

It was our last night in London....and knowing that we had a long night ahead of reluctantly packing to head back in Atlanta....Hubby and I opted to stop by here for a simple warm dinner, and romantic walk under the Christmas lights on Regent street. Shoryu came highly recommended by friends and yelpers. It was a cold night so a warm bowl of ramen seemed like a perfect option. We hopped in a uber and arrived with no reservations made prior. Luckily, it was not too busy despite being a Friday night. We were able to find cozy two seats at the front right corner so we could people watch (very fun on a Friday night). I love the detail of purse hooks under the table. They offer specials such as seasonal set menu, Bun Monday, and Happy Sake hour. Shoryu Ramen started in Nov. 2012 and recommend in the Michelin Guide since 2014 (you still see the sticker at the entrance). They specialize in Hakata Tonkotsu ramen (aka, rich-thick- white pork broth with straight ramen noodles). Ricky and I both ordered the same Shoryu tonkatsu ramen ....and the broth was amazing! You can tell it has been cooking for many hours with great quality ingredients. And do not forget about the noodles made from fresh Shoryu flour! Fresh, bouncy, and chewy. You can request different textures to your liking. The ramen comes with the traditional toppings of a soft boiled egg, pork, and veggies,and nori. All the toppings were excellent as well.....but I am a BIG soup and noodles person so those are the items that grabbed by attention the most. The gyoza is supposed to be really good here but unfortunately no one told me -_-. I didn't find this out till after I left the restaurant. The uber driver asked me if I got the dumplings on the ride back to the hotel. We got the takoyaki instead which was so-so. Another popular item is the HIrata Bun. Hubby got the wagyu beef filled bun. They names it the Shoryu bun to bring prosperity to you when you eat it :) Very cute. This location also has quiet an extensive alcohol selection. Def check this out. There was a reason everyone inside was drinking lol. Highly recommend. Great place for ramen.

The ramen is so delicious And can't wait to be back And the service was awesome Thank you

Tasty ramen with the beautiful chew to the freshly made ramen. Stumbled upon this place since we couldn't find the place we were looking for but, we love finding new gems. Food was really good, broth was very tasty. The calpico mojito was very refreshing since it was blistering hot in London. The chicken karage bun was good but I loved the tonkotsu ramen. I would have had another bowl of just the broth. Love the find and will be back the next time I'm in town.

There were two main reasons for dining here: it had been recommended by the Michelin guide and, if you're a fellow Street Fighter fan, then you'll understand the other reason why. Along with our respective bowls of ramen (one Kotteri Hakata Tonkotsu, one Dracula Tonkotsu), we also ordered a couple of the Shoryu buns. Personally I wasn't a huge fan of the buns as they actually had quite a bit of mayo on them. They were still tasty but I would probably pass on them on any subsequent visit. The ramen was quite good and you have the choice of how you would like your noodles prepared. The broth of the Hakata Tonkotsu was flavorful, savory, and rich. The double nitamago egg was eggsellent. The Dracula Tonkotsu is filled with tasty garlic bits and flavour but may require an after-meal mint. 3.5 stars overall.

Clean contemporary restaurant. They announce each groups arrival with a beat of a mini Taiko drum. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen made with a 12 hour Pork Bone stock. The bowl of Ramen was served with Nitamago - soft boiled egg well executed, Kikurage - wood eared fungus adding a good crunch, Nori - seaweed - adding crunch and umami flavor, generous amount of fried Shallots, a bit of spring Onions, a dollop of red ginger with a sprinkling of Sesame Seeds. The Pork Bone Broth had the requisite umami flavor, without being too salty. The Ramen Noodle were excellent- the Noodles were al dente and the Noodles captured the flavor of the broth well. The best part of the bowl was the BBQ Pork, thin sliced, delicious Perhaps a more generous portion would make the experience more enjoyable Bottom line - This is a Ramen I could eat several times a week. It was delicious, not overly salty, has a sophisticated home made quality to it.

I lived in Japan for 6 years, so I know a good Ramen shop ; ) This is the best Ramen I've had since moving!! I live in the US, and even there I haven't had anything that comes close. The chicken Karage bun was delicious. The Gyoza was good, but definitely have had better.

We had spent four hours at Houses of Parliament already, so by the time we were done at 2:30 pm, we were hangry. We found Shoryu Ramen via Yelp and immediately looked for the closest red double decker bus to take us there. Even though ramen is not the first thing you think of in terms of British cuisine, we were happily surprised to find the food worthy in the name of Japanese ramen. BF found it better than some of the ramen places in Los Angeles, and that's saying something! We ordered two bowls of the tonkotsu ramen (which includes char siu barbecue pork belly, nitamago egg, mushrooms, spring onion, sesame, ginger, and nori seaweed) and the recommended shoryu buns (2 for £7.50). We loved the ramen more than the buns and a bowl of ramen will do more than enough to keep you full. Sit by the window for people watching!

Service is great. Food is so so! Lack of originally. We ordered kotteri Hakatq Tonkatsu, the soup is just okay. The price is a little pricy. I would give another try if i can.

I really enjoyed the ramen here! I came here a broken & hungover person and emerged a new flower. I had the signature shoryu ganso tonkotsu and the person I was with had the kotteri hakata tonkotsu and both were really really good... just nothing *mindblowing*. We did also get the two most plain ramen bowls though. The service was also outstanding (we wanted to get in, eat, get out and they were super fast/accommodating). Overall I will definitely return here and try their other menu items!

Great ramen in a great location. Portion size was great. Filling without being too much. Simple menu and easy to understand as someone newer to ramen.

Why is everything in london so expensive... Came to london for a vacation, mid week through our trip of course I start to crave asian food and whats better than a hot bowl of ramen? Shoryu specializes in tonkotsu soup base which is my favorite. They have different option for the thickness of the broth. If you are used to eating ramen def go with the rich broth option as their regular broth was a little on the bland side. I love the egg as its the perfect yolk consistency. Service was pretty good also, very fast and attentive. While the noodles are pretty good here, it is hard to stomach the fact that I spent almost $100 US dollars here for 2 bowls of ramen, 6pc gyoza and an icecream dessert. It cost like $30 for a bowl of ramen and $5 to add just an egg...if you are a local then definitely check out this place as their ramen is pretty good but if you are travelling from NY i would say to skip it and save the $.

Went to London on holiday came here, and now I'm depressed that I'm back home in Cardiff instead of being able to eat here every day. Honestly - if I lived in London and could afford to do so, I would eat here EVERY DAY. NO. JOKE. I'm STILL thinking about those perfectly seasoned eggs. No wonder they're on the Michelin recommended list two years in a row! ~ Atmosphere: Cute atmosphere - nothing fancy. The wall has a great description of the parts of ramen, if you're new to this amazing dish you can read up on it! Even though I'm a ramen fanatic, I still learners a bit about the ramen styles of different regions in Japan. ~ Customer Service: Really lovely. The waitress who served us was very sweet and friendly, and our food came out at a decent time (not alarmingly quick like they do in Japan, but still at a relatively decent time). They also provide fresh garlic you can crush right into your ramen if you're a garlic fanatic like me. ~ Food: This where the 5 stars comes from. Everything else could be literally GARBAGE and I would still give this place 5 stars. We ordered Pork Belly Buns to start off with and they were fantastic. I'll be honest - I've had better baos elsewhere so next time I come I'll probably skip on the baos and go straight to the ramen just to get a better taste value for money. I ordered the Dracula Ramen (garlic tonkotsu ramen) and it was out of this world. You can order extra toppings so I opted for an extra seasoned egg. After I finished my first plate of eggs I wish I had no shame and order an extra plate. You're also allowed to ask for extra noodles or meat - all at a price of course but I'm definitely glad they had that option available. Choose the firmness of your noodles and you're ready to go - the result? The most AMAZING ramen. The depth of flavour of my ramen was immense and you can definitely bet that I slurped up all the remaining broth after I was done. If you're a ramen snob and here to compare Shoryu to the other ramen powerhouses of the world, I would say that the broth is what sets this place apart. The char siu was forgettable, but the broth and eggs were UNFORGETTABLE. I'll be thinking about this ramen for years to come. --- Do yourself a favour and get to Shoryu Ramen. Probably the best in London.

Incredible ramen and atmosphere, very warm, cosy atmosphere although can get bit loud

Ramen is one of my favourite foods to go out to eat, especially back in my hometown of Vancouver where there is certainly no shortage of ramen shops! Since moving to London, I've tried both Ippudo and Shoryu a few times, trying to figure out which one I liked more, and I've come to the conclusion that the broth at Shoryu is definitely tastier. The Kotteri Hakata Tonkotsu is fantastic here (the broth, the noodles, and the charsiu all taste great). Sprinkle on some sesame seeds and garlic, and your bowl will taste even better! Service here has also been consistently good, even when the restaurant is busy. My only minor complaint is that their ramen eggs aren't as good as what I've had elsewhere (strangely they seem less flavourful?), but still not bad. Certainly not a big enough complaint to detract from the rest of the dish. I really don't have much else to say that the other 200+ reviews here haven't already said. Shoryu is probably my favourite ramen shop in London, and I will definitely return!
