This restaurant was recommended by my brother, Rahul GC, and it was absolutely amazing. He is also part of the team cooking, serving, and providing wonderful hospitality which made the experience even more special. His dedication and hard work truly show. Cherry and Kar were fantastic and made us feel very comfortable. The food was absolutely outstanding, thanks to Chef Leo. One of the best Japanese meals I’ve had in London. I’ll definitely be visiting again!!!!

Absolutely fantastic experience! The ramen was incredible and the service was top-notch. The katsu curry was comforting and packed with flavour, and the pumpkin croquettes were crispy, golden, and seriously tasty!

As someone who is deeply passionate about Japanese culture, I am always on the hunt for a spot that feels like a slice of Tokyo. This place is it! From start to finish, the meal was incredible — honestly, probably the best ramen I’ve ever had.
I started with the pork gyoza, which had an amazingly tender texture—perfectly cooked and savory. The star of the show, the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen, was rich, authentic, and deeply flavorful. Pairing it all with a crisp, cold draft Asahi made for the perfect meal.
What truly set this visit apart was the service. I even had the honor of being introduced to the Chef Leo, which was such a highlight. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality from Michi and Izumi and for making my day so joyful.

The place is like an authentic ramen shop like in japan, with warm cozy atmosphere. Good for solo, pair or group dinning. Food tastes the same from ramen japan specially the signature ramen(Shoryu Ganzo Tonkatsu . Got the chance to talk to the head chef about their ramen broth and other food. Staff are accommodating. We always enjoy are meals whenever we crave for ramen and takoyaki in london. Special thanks to Cherry and Leo
