second tobaktsu for us had chili King prawn tonkatsu and the tonkati ramen and tasty prime. but the OG is enough, the side salad it was abundant. had a good amount and fresh and tasted with the chili sauce but it doesn't have the shiso that you're looking for. and then I came for the happy hour of the Japanese Martini and the mango sake spreads. both were decent but I am drunk now
Had the best time here, will recomend a lot the chicken curry, fried chicken and tempura prawns. Also the servers ( Samy and RIBA ) were really attentive to us and recommended nice dishes.
Such a great and spacious space for lunch, we really liked both ramens we ordered - tonkotsu and tokyo. Tokyo is much lighter and with chicken broth. They make their own noodles which is always a plus. The service is quick and excellent, very friendly people. They also have a few tables outside which is great for sitting in the summer.
It’s a nice place with really nice staff. The food could be a little bit better (I ordered Christmas menu 3 courses for £30) - kimchi particularly tasted like sauerkraut with a little bit of chili and sesame. Tonkotsu itself was phenomenal and the main factor why I gave 4/5 - it was the star of the show. I wouldn’t recommend any other dessert than chocolate sorbet though - I tried a little bit from my husband and it was far better than mine miso salted caramel and chocolate. Overall it’s a nice place for ramen, but definitely desserts and starters can be easily skipped.
Had a great meal here with colleagues on a Thursday night. We had chicken wings and prawn katsu for starters and then most people had ramen and I had more starters with bang bang style cauliflower. Service was excellent. We were served by Maryan who was friendly and helpful throughout and served with a smile which was nice. The food came out relatively quick (but it was passed the evening rush) and the food was both tasty and hot. I’d say pretty standard in terms of its flavouring which is why I gave it an overall four stars. It just wasn’t fine dining but it was very good. Portions were hearty but everyone finished theirs. Shows they are thinking about things like that. The place has great decor. We were in a booth. Was comfy. I would definitely go again. Service was strong and the food was decent.
