Notes
|
Another attempt to bring some Japanese
Ramen to Londoners. A much closer replication than others but still does not
quite meet the quality and flavours of Japan.
|
We ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and some
fried chicken for lunch and some green tea. The fried chicken was cooked very
well, light and crispy - with very little excess oil. We polished this off very
quickly and thought this was a promising start.
The Tonkotsu ramens arrived, but I
immediately noticed how little soup broth there was. The soup was rather thick
and felt a little gloopy.
The taste was rich in pork bone broth
which had the depth. The noodles tasted very firm and the pork was tender.
However, it wasn’t the most filling
lunch meal for an average cost of £20 each. The charge of green tea was quite expensive,
£3 a cup which did not even taste amazing.
One thing to note, is that the green tea refills are not free and so you
will be charged another £3 again!
The Japanese tradition in providing free
green tea refills was not maintained here and was disappointed in the expensive
price charged for a small cup.
As a result, the search still
continues to find the perfect, satisfying and value for money ramen noodles
that Londoners truly deserve to taste.
