Ramen’s not new to London: this dish of thin wheat noodles in broth is a staple at Wagamama, for instance. (Hell, it’s also what a Pot Noodle is, essentially.) But several restaurants have popped up here recently that are dedicated to it.

Run by the same people as the Japan Centre across the road, Shoryu is an authentically Japanese experience. They’ve even shipped in a chef from Hakata, the Japanese district best known for the tonkotsu ramen that Shoryu specialises in.

A good ramen has three key components: a well-flavoured broth, bouncy noodles and interesting toppings. The basic Hakata ramen we tried had a rich, milky pork-and-chicken-bone broth with plenty of pale egg-yolk-yellow, own-made noodles crowned with slices of unremarkable barbecued pork, crunchy cloud ear mushrooms and slivers of bright red pickled ginger.

The Hakata formula provides a base for variations such as the unusual wasabi ramen which adds a pickled wasabi-stalk topping. If you’re not in the mood for such a rich, creamy pork broth, there are miso or soy sauce (shoyu) alternatives.

Very good ramen! Haven't tasted one that good since being in Japan. Good value for the money, definetely worth it.

I've been to this restaurant twice in the past week! It's just that good! When you walk in you are immediately welcomed by all the staff. The ramen is so good. I had the Dracula Tonkotsu and the Karaka Tan Tan Tonkotsu, both tasted delicious and would highly recommend both. I also ordered the Hirata buns (chicken and prawn) and they were very delicious too! Everything was very reasonably priced and the service was quick! The only thing I would say is that as it is quite a small restaurant and you can't book so you might have to wait a little while for a table. Luckily when I went we didn't have to queue either time but noticed it got busy very quickly.

"It is also what a pot noodle is, essentially" Shocking lack of knowledge of the intricacies of one of these greats of Japanese cuisine!

Shoryu is definitely my favourite ramen bar in London. The broth is so creamy and noodles just like we use in tonkotsu ramen in Japan. Love it and will be back with friends!
