Found Tonkotsu Notting Hill for a quick lunch and took advantage of their excellent £10.50 weekday lunch deal — highly recommend it! We were seated at the bar, which was great as we could watch all the fresh food preparation. Everything looked efficient and high quality. The dumplings were outstanding — flavourful, well-seared on the outside with delicious juicy fillings. We also tried the chicken ramen and pork ramen. The lunch portions are a bit smaller than the regular menu, but we actually preferred that. We shared the seafood salad, which had a generous amount of prawns and squid. It was crunchy, fresh, flavourful and a real classic. Overall a fantastic, great-value lunch with fresh food and lovely service. We’d definitely return!
My favourite Ramen in London! I’ve tried a lot of ramen in london but nothing like tonkotsu! Since I’ve known tonkonsu I always like coming every now and then, to this branch or central, the flavour is AMAZING. I love the broth and the sides. They have a deal of 25£ for a ramen, a beer and a side (I think you can also get other drinks) Our waiter today was Sabbir and he gave made our experience exceptional. We’ll be back soon!
Great ramen for dinner! My friends and I sat at the bar and were greeted with great service. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I paid £13.95 for the kakugiri which was a large portion size and tasty! The pork gyozas for a starter were also delicious!
Incredible Ramen restaurant! Really cute little place and absolutely delicious food! Margarita was fabulous and the margarita deal- a margarita, gyoza and ramen bowl for £25 was amazing value! Highly recommend!
