Tonkotsu Shoreditch

"Overall, bit disappointed as the reviews were fairly positive. Service was the main letdown, food was OK. Decor is very nice. Overall there is better Ramen elsewhere. We arrived and we are one of 3 tables that night. When we sat down we were informed that the table service system was down but no paper menus were handed out, so we had to read off the app. Food took ages to come out despite the restaurant being empty and was served at wildly different times. We are talking a good 20 mins between dishes so that half the table had finished their mains, whilst the other half were still waiting for food to arrive. Ramen is supposed to be a quick dish, I wonder how they cope if it's actually busy. Service was lacking a bit, e.g. someone ordered a pint to go with their meal and had finished their main by the time it was served, despite nothing else in the restaurant going on. When the food did arrive I will say that the fried dishes (katsu, tempura) were decent. The vegetarian ramen was apparently very good. Spicy ramen (geki kara) was not spicy and quite bland, more warming than spicy. Standard tonkotsu was the most flavourful, but not great by ramen standards. Restaurant design is really modern, bright and atmospheric, but overall I would not likely return."

"Had lovely time visiting and eating a delicious meal. We were looked after very well by all the staff. Everyone was very nice. The place was very clean and the chefs were also very lovely to say hello. Myself and 2 girl friends had such a lovely time. The ramen we each had was a big meal worth the money and very, very filling. Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you all again."

"The food was really bad !! I hate being this type of person but i can not say anything positive about this place. I hope it was just a one time thing. The dumplings were oily, ramen was tasteless, service was very poor and slow. I will never recommend or go again there!"

"Really disappointing! A bowl of noodles covered in tastless water. Really not a ramen, maybe okay for a noodle soup. The cauliflower in the beginning was really good!! The service was good. They are really watchful. But because of the food not recommended."

"I used to live in Japan so I might be harsh but this ramen is bad. It wasn’t awful but the soup is quite tasteless and the noodles themselves were mediocre. Having read all the good reviews, I was really disappointed and despite I was really hungry I had to leave some ramen in the plate because of how bland it was."
