Small ramen spot in SoHo. The staff greets and seats you then you order and pay via QR code. The ambiance is sort of dark and moody. I'd say the vibe is hipster and definitely leans more touristy than authentic. I found the ramen to be plentiful. The noodles and egg were nice but the broth was flat. It was 26 usd for one bowl. Overall it was ok but not quite worth the price. read more

Veggie ramen was delicious. Broth has a great fresh flavor. Noodles still had a nice bite. We had a babe with us and they accommodated that. We would come back. The egg was perfectly cooked. read more

Bone Daddies - Mushroom ramen - Japanese Near Me - London, XGL

Monday 4pm, 12/23, before Christmas, streets were full of people but no waiting queue so it was an easy choice to decide to get food here. As it was recommended for a good Japanese ramen place. I would say about half of the tables were full late Monday afternoon. Server comes to take order and got the food in timely manner, about 10 minutes?? Bao Bun - Price of £13.30 for two is too much. This is expensive. Bun was soft and warm, fried chicken inside was good, but it did not justify the price tag. Size could have been bigger or price needs to be cheaper than £13.30. If not for Bao Bun, I would have given five stars. Tonkotsu (The OG) - No complaints. £14.80 feels cheap compared to Bao Buns two for £13.30. Noodles were good, soup had rich flavor from the broth, menma was crunchy, boiled egg was just cooked to perfection, there were even garlic cloves and garlic press at each table to use! I felt like I was in Japan. Payment at the table. Ask for check and one of the staffs will bring the credit card machine for payment. read more

Great little ramen bar located across from Leicester Sq tube station. Resembles a traditional Japanese style noodle/ramen bar with seat at a bar or on small booth tables. Nice selection of dishes and all reasonably priced for central London. Service is friendly and efficient. I went for the spicy miso tonkotsu. The broth packed a punch with flavor and the portion was generous. Unlimited sparkling water for £2. Only complaint is that the food was a bit too salty but otherwise would have no problem recommending this place. read more

10 on a Thursday night and we want ramen. He had the pork and I had the mushroom. We we seated across from the bathroom so it was weird with people coming and going. My mushroom ramen noodles were seriously undercooked and stuck together at the bottom of the bowl when served. I sent back when our server asked how things were. I was so hungry. He said he was in Japan last year and noodles are often served this way. When he brought the order back and cooked them more, they were good. read more

Given that this isn't the most traditional ramen stop you'll find in London, the taste may leave something to be desired for the OG ramen lovers out there. However, it also means you'll find more exciting flavor and ingredient combinations that you may not find in more popular places like Shoryu or Kanada-Ya. I primarily come back here for the chicken ramen - they offer fried, pulled, or mince - which feels a tad healthier than the typical pork belly ramen that seems to be the staple in most other places. The noodles all come with the same firmness, so if you like soft noodles, you're out of luck. The broth also tends to be saltier here, so that could also use some tweaking. The plus side is that they have extras like garlic and chili oil, all ready to go on your table, so you may find a flavor profile that you like if you play around with it a little bit. They also offer more veggie options than you'd find in other ramen shops, so it's a friendlier spot for the more diet-restricted in your group. The space is definitely funkier than your run-of-the-mill ramen restaurant, making it perfect for a dinner spot for before and after drinks when you have a group larger than 2 people. The service is friendly, as well, so there are definitely worse ways to spend your dinner money. read more

It's a nice little ramen shop with cool decor. It was a cold winter day and I was able to walk in in the afternoon and there was no wait. I was by myself and sat at a counter. The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the char siu croquettes as an appetizer and chicken tantanmen ramen. The croquettes were delicious. The ramen was good, yet the broth came out lukewarm at first. I told the server and she had them heat it up so it was piping hot. I enjoyed the ramen, but I wish the broth was more savory and flavorful. read more

A great ramen location if you're looking for some freshly made ramen that will warm you up on a cold night. The aesthetics and the vibes were what stood out for me as they were playing classic and punk rock while dishing out hot bowls of noodles. There wasn't anything crazy special about the ramen, up to standard tonkatsu level expected of a restaurant. The best part of the experience is having classic ramen with classic rock songs. Definitely an experience worth trying if you're looking for a full package experience and a good bowl of noodles. read more

We had a long travel day and decided to try this spot out. We did have a reservation. The ambiance has a cool rock vibe and we appreciated the music as it was right up our alley. The service was great and they have great assortment of options. As a pescatarian I often have to go with their vegetarian or vegan option and sometimes they can lack flavor. I was pleasantly surprised as their broth was so rich and creamy. Definitely a place we will return to when in London! read more

One of my favorite London stops! Bone Daddies is a trendy, modern ramen shop with a great vibe. There are usually no queues. The service is quick, and the servers are generally friendly and attentive. I ordered Chicken Wings and Bao Buns. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! I usually come here with friends and share apps while getting ramen. If you want to customize the flavors, they have extras on the table, including garlic and chili oil. read more

I heard great things about Bone Daddies and was really excited to try their ramen...but was pretty disappointed in the taste and flavor. We ordered the T22 (most popular chicken broth ramen), Korean Army Stew Bowl, and Tantan Men. Bone Daddies does a very unconventional take on all of these, which makes sense I guess since the founder is Australian, but the combination didn't work well in my opinion. The best part about the T22 was the soft egg, but the ramen itself seemed a bit dry. The Korean Army Stew used crispy "tokyo ramen", but I think it would work much better with regular ramen. If you want more traditionally "good" ramen, I would go to Ippudo. However, the service here is very friendly and the environment is very relaxed. I still encourage people to give it a try, because I do know one person who raves about the food here. read more

Pre-COVID review. We planned to return to Shoryu but decided to try somewhere new. Enter Bone Daddies. There was a 15 minute wait after 8 pm on Sunday for dinner. We ordered the fried chicken appetizer (£6.20), tonkatsu ramen (£11.20) and kani tonkatsu ramen (£14.20). The tonkatsu broth was okay, and thicker than what's preferred for tonkatsu. The kani tonkatsu broth was way too thick and salty. It got to the point where I had to fish everything out of my bowl before it absorbed anymore of the salty broth. They have a 12.5% automatic service charge and it took some time to flag a server to get my check and to pay my check. This is the second place I've been to that tacks on an option charity charge automatically. It seems wrong to have someone opt out of a optional charge rather than opt in. read more

Bone Daddies does an unconventional take on ramen - I think you'll either love it or hate it. I think I fall into the latter camp but would encourage people to give it a try and see how you feel. It's a small place with hipster waitstaff - but they're really really nice. No issues there. My husband had a ramen variant that came with a garlic soy that to my mouth, was unpleasantly bitter and overwhelming. I had a standard tonkotsu that was oddly sweet. Overall, not ramen I'd want to eat again. read more

Had a crave for something soupy so I had decided to search for food. Cut to the chase I was hungry so didn't want to wait for delivery. Staffs were very friendly and ushered me into the dining area. I had a choice of outdoors or indoors. Food served was hot and even the bowl was warm to keep the soup in the right temperature. Ramen was springy and tasty. If you like strong flavoured soup I'm sure you will love it. Meat was cooked to its best texture and delicious. I would strongly recommend to go and give it a try. I had ordered fried chicken too but I think it was just a little too salty for my taste buds. read more

We were given Bone Daddies as a suggestion and weren't disappointed. The service was amazing from the start. We ordered the loaded tater tots and two of their different Ramen bowls. The Lemon Pepper Ramen had an amazing rich flavor and the Tantanmen2 was great. The vibe was great and the music was mainly 80's rock and roll B sides which was awesome. I highly suggest stopping in. read more

I took a picture of my ramen bowl because it was probably one of the best ramen bowls I ever had in my life. One of my friends really wanted to try this home in the wall place and I must say it did not disappoint. We went around 12 pm and it was not at all crowded. Upon entering we were greeted very pleasantly. Our friends also wanted sake shots (apparently an American thing) and they made that happen. They have so many options to choose from when it comes to ramen bowls. I got the tofu curry ramen. The broth is extremely flavorful but it could have been a bit more spicier for me. The price is also amazing for what you pay and I can't wait to be back again some day! read more

One of THE best ramens I have ever had - hands down. And I got it on my first time in London!!! Yuzu Tonkotsu is out of this world. Who doesn't love fried pork belly anyway?! And the broccoli with yuzu mayo - oh my goooosh! This spot is quite happening but worth the wait and squeeze....meaning they will find you a spot but may squeeze you into a corner (like we did) but it all goes down the same way! Service is top notch as well - great job gang - we will be back! Do it - you will not regret it!!! read more

Nom. Just, nom. The tonkatsu ramen is delicious. Perfectly cooked noodles, broth so thick and pork bone-ish it's almost white. The right amount of spring onion, bean sprout, crispy garlic slices, bamboo shoots, and a little picked ginger right in the middle. Perfect eggs, perfect slices of pork. Topped off by a little house chili oil sauce, and wow. I ate the whole bowl and would have licked it if I could have fit my face inside. Just noticed I used the word "perfect" three times! So it's just not getting that fifth star because I think £11 is a bit much, and a pint of Asahi for £4.5 is a bit steep too. A beer and a bowl of (admittedly totally delicious) ramen coming out to £16? I happily paid, but secretly wished was more like £12 (£9 for the ramen, £3 for the beer) - then it'd get 5 stars. Perhaps I trifle. Anyway, as I said, nom. read more

We were so blown away by this food! Tucked into a side street, we were pleased to find it busy but not packed. We were able to be seated immediately for a group of 5. They had a rather limited though high quality selection of beer and cider. A few of us ordered boa buns to start which were delicious and then each of us got a ramen or other bowl as an entree. The pork chili ramen was flavorful and delicious with a kick but not too spicy. The mushroom ramen was flavorful and mild and veggie packed. The waiter even recommended a combination of a couple dishes to my dad- a poke bowl topped with pork that just blew him away! He couldn't stop saying "wow" about all the complementary flavors. We each got a mochi for dessert and loved it- a perfect size for a sweet treat to finish a great meal. We would love to come back here and would recommend to all! With so much on the menu there's something for everyone, but it's so high quality. read more

A friend recommended this place to us as one of the best ramen places in London. However, he did warn us that Asian food in London does not compare to that of the Bay Area. That said, I can say that this place is hit-or-miss. Some dishes are amazing and some are just bland. For example, I ordered the kimchee ramen while the others ordered the tonkatsu ramen. My ramen was bursting with flavor and good, but the tonkatsu was the opposite. The people in my group complained that it was one of the worst that they had ever tried. There was no seasoning at all. They had to add soy sauce or black oil to spice it up a bit. Disappointing. With the appetizers, order the fried chicken and skip the pork and corn croquettes. Again, one was perfect while the other one needed more. The restaurant is located close to Chinatown and I would have totally missed it if I walked by. The place is small so be prepared for a wait during meal times. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They had us come in from the rain and sit on stools until there was a table available. Remember that compared to almost every other currency in the world, the London pound is pretty expensive so don't expect this place to be cheap. read more

I was in London for a few days and my coworker had recommended coming here, so we went for dinner. I probably wouldn't have found it if I were just wandering around. My coworker had ordered the Padron Peppers for appetizer, which she shared. The peppers aren't spicy, but were flavorful. I think I ate quite a few. I think I ordered the Garlic Tantamen ramen. There was so much meat in it! I thought it was a little too oily for my liking. The oily broth was a little too rich. Otherwise, the broth was good. The server we had needed deodorant. That was the only other turn-off about this place. read more

I have been on the hunt for some good ramen joints so I was very excited to find Bone Daddies. Back in the states ramen places like this are everywhere and they just now seem to be catching on in London. We tried the fried chicken and the tonkotsu ramen. Both items were delicious. The chicken came out hot and crispy with great flavor. The ramen broth was rich and comforting and I was very eggcited to get a soft boiled egg as well.

Our first day in London was a cold and rainy one. I was looking forward to having a hot bowl of ramen to counter the dreadful weather. I got the tonkotsu and the husband got the tantanmen. The Clarence Court egg was impressive. The yolk was barely set and was a stunningly rich orange color. The pork was tender and flavorful, although sliced too thin. I wasn't a fan of the menma. It was too sour, almost like eating bamboo shoots from a can, where they acquired this unique sour note that is absent in fresh or vacuum packed bamboo shoots. My main complaint was the broth. There can be too much of a good thing and in this case the broth was too rich and too thick. I love a rich broth like the one from Santouka, but here, it was hard to appreciate the complexity and the umami taste of the broth because it was too oily and viscous. Husband liked the tantanmen, but I find the peanutty broth too sweet. read more

PROS - Absolutely loved the rambunctious music upon entering. I mean, what do you expect from such an awesome restaurant name, "Bone Daddies"? Very straightforward menu with great descriptions. I'm always a sucker for Tonkotsu based soups so of course I got that and it tasted dreamy. My friends got the Spicy Miso (lots of flavor, almost overwhelming but in a good way) and the T22 (a chicken broth based soup, he got it because it said "cock shavings" haha but my Tonkotsu still had more flavor than the T22). Hopefully the hair ties don't get reused but that is hilarious touch. I also dig their bathrooms. The ramen is solid, but could have been more generous with the noodles and broth (or maybe I'm just a piggy). I would like to try their chicken karrage next time as well. CONS - None really, I need to update this review once I try the neighboring competitor, Shoryu. ;) read more

Decided to check out the ramen scene in London, this one in particular given that it was one of the higher rated places. Arrived around 7pm on a Thursday, there was a short lineup but people come and go quickly and we were in after about 15-20 min of waiting. It's more of a ramen bar than a nice sit down place. Very loud and lively, the locals seem to love it. The staff were not that friendly imo. It wasn't very clear that we were supposed to wait by the wall once entering. We thought we had a spot already because it looked like they were gesturing us to follow the group in front of us. That was awkward. While seated, the waitress ran into my bf while walking through the aisle and didn't even say sorry, just asked him to tuck in his chair when it wasn't even his fault. No smiles given. It's definitely a little crammed in there. Anyways, the food. We didn't get any apps or drinks, just the tonkotsu and T22 ramen. The food came reasonably quick, around 10-15min wait. Tonkotsu had very standard ramen broth, on par with Ippudo in NYC. I thought I'd try the T22 because I don't have chicken ramen very often. It was delicious - and there are cock scratchings which added crunch. The broth got a bit salty after awhile though. They use thin noodles which I loved. Overall, very filling and moderately priced. 3/5 for service and 4.5/5 for the food. read more

Bone Daddies - T22 - Japanese Near Me - London, XGL

Bone daddies is a modern ramen joint. Ramen meets hipster. Edgy. To be fair, I didn't have much ramen in london to compare this too, perhaps this is the best London has to offer? Perhaps it isn't. Either way, the tonkotsu broth and the T22 are the 2 most raved about in reviews, so that is what we went with. The broth itself was very thick and heavy, but somehow lacking depth in flavor. The ramens themselves picture perfect! Everything was fresh and the staff was excellent. The drinks were quite delicious as well. The stools aren't the most comfortable to sit on, but perhaps that is so people don't stay as long as the wait does get quite long. read more

Having lived in New York, I've been spoiled for unlimited delicious ramen options and my personal opinion is that Bone Daddies is overhyped. My friend and I came on a weekday night and there was a long line outside the shop. They took in pairs faster than groups, so my friend and I were seated after ten minutes. The inside of the shop is dim and crowded. There are only stool seats and seating is pretty tight. My friend and I got the Agedashi Tofu to start. This was pretty good! The portion was big and the tofu is silky with a light and crispy battered shell. The sauce was flavorful too. For ramen, I got the Tonkotsu and my friend got the Mushroom Ramen. What I liked most from the Tonkotsu ramen were the egg and the black garlic oil. However, everything else was a bit overwhelming. The pork broth was advertised to be simmered for 20 hours but it wasn't all that flavorful and definitely too oily. The ramen noodles were very thin and way overcooked so it was quite mushy to eat. I also got to try some broth from my friend's mushroom ramen and it was pretty good. Overall, Bone Daddies was a little disappointing and I'll be continuing my search for the best ramen in London. read more

Yeah Baby, Ramen!! We needed to be in Piccadilly for a fancy dessert reservation and wanted to find something close that was quick, cheap, and not packed with tourists trying to find dinner before the 7:00 PM "Wicked" show or whatever tat show the masses are flocking to these days... My bud found this place thanks to Yelp and it checked all the boxes. The four of us tucked in for Ramen and all left satisfied with varying levels of burn in our bellies. I went for the Tonkatsu (pork broth) and might have taken my napalming of it just a bit too far; that was on me. As others have said, this place is small, but the staff turns and burns tables quickly. Totally happy we stopped here. Get it, get your ramen on, and get out! read more

Not kid friendly. We watched 30 minutes to get to this location during our last day in London, and as we finally got to the location, the waiter turned us away because we had a child. It was during lunch hours, and he said he cannot see us because we have a kid... Seems like a ridiculous reason to turn away a customer. We have had very high-end restaurants in London accommodate us, so it was upsetting that a place like this, which had more than enough space would not allow us to sit and eat. We have been on a month-long journey through Europe and not a single restaurant has not been able to accommodate a stroller so it is pretty ridiculous... read more

I'm guilty of not posting any review for Bone Daddies any sooner. I've been here many times and it's my go to Ramen place when I need a fix. I've been to this place since 2015. Bone Daddies has this really hip vibe, you'd think it's a cool bar but it's just really awesome how they made Ramen look cool. First of all, I've not been to a Ramen place that offers you bibs and hair ties (for ladies with long locks). That's really thoughtful. The area is smaller than most restaurants. There's usually a queue outside, but the wait is about 15-20mins depending how crowded it is. Its a little noisy, so it's probably not great for intimate conversations. The place is cramp, so you'll find yourself squeezed between people. It's generally not a place to bring babies or kids. Absolutely great for couples and if you're lucky, you might get an entire table for larger groups. I usually order the T22 Ramen with Chicken scratchings. It's probably one of my favourite. If you're not into pork all that much, there's that option for you. There are a bunch of vegetarian options as well. So you'll be glad to find a variety. Today however we decided to try something else on the menu: 1. Tonkotsu Ramen £11: Pork belly with Spring onions in 20 hours cooked pork broth - If you're looking for an easy entrance and introduction to classic Ramen, this would be a good choice. It comes with two flavoured eggs and Bamboo shoots. I usually put in extra garlic and sesame crushed seeds to bump up the flavour. 2. Curry Ramen £12: Spicy curry broth with deep fried chicken and jalapeño - Anyone who likes chilli should try this bowl of fire. It tastes as spicy as it looks. Be prepared to have a cup of ice water ready. Also don't be surprise if you suffer the "ring of fire" the next day As with all good restaurants in London, there is usually a wait. But it's shaded and there's a heater outside. They work very quickly to try serve everyone their food. I've never been disappointed with their services and would definitely continue to come here. read more
