The atmosphere is good. I ordered their vegetarian dish, which is probably not their best dish but given the reputation of this place it should still be better than average. It was alright. Would have been 3 stars overall, but lost a star for service, they were a bit rude, an older woman was either the manager or owner was a bit pushy. We showed up just to order drinks, and they said they were only seating dinner, that's fine. We returned an hour and half later for ramen, but we got the impression they would rather not have our business. There were open seats. And there was a Stan's dad, whole foods thing.... I don't know if you have ever seen the South Park episode where Stan's dad Randy buys lunch at whole foods and Whole Foods auto opt in for donating to a feed the children charity. Same deal. Check comes and they've already adding the donation for the charity and hand me a brochure for the charity. They could have at least said by the way, "Tonight will include a donation to such and such charity". Overall, 3 stars. read more

Went there on a Monday night at 6:30. Place was packed!! But we managed to get a seat for 2 within 5 minutes. Waiter was very accommodating and found us a table away from the doors. +2/5 stars for the tantanmen 2. Brothy. Nothing special. Couldn't find the meat. Was supposed to have pulled pork and minced chicken but none was found!!! Maybe the waitress didn't get our order right. Idk. She didn't speak English as a first language. Had an Asahi beer to pair. Super good combo. read more

Super yummy tonkatsu broth and cha siu. We found this place on yelp and arrived at 9 pm. The place was busy, loud more like a pub. We are the only ones with little kids and its not kids friendly. The table was counter height and chairs. However my husband ordered tonkatsu ramen and I ordered spicy miso ramen. Spicy miso is too salty and not as good. But tonkatsu is out of this world, packed with flavor and thick broth. Their eggs and char siu is very yummy too. The best ramen I had by far. read more

Fantastic restaurant. Wonderful service and great food. We really enjoyed the starters whilst we waited. We really enjoyed the cocktails too. Would recommend to anyone and it's worth the wait! read more

Yum Yum in my Tum - Bone Daddies is the one! Well, it's kinda' rhymes! I had the Tonkotsu Raman in the Pork Bone Broth and it really was one of a kind. Be prepared for a queue and the seating is pretty tight - absolutely worth the wait though! read more

One of the best ramen I've ever had: get their mushroom and soy veggie one! And be prepared to queue: it's no-reservation. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars. read more

Service was great. So, it's sad to say, but it was two stars at best as a ramen joint. Three stars as an izakaya-ish place. Noodles of "Tonkotsu Ramen" were totally overlooked and broth was not even warm. (Sad ...) Plus, broth didn't have good thick flavor. I also tried "Vegetarian Mushroom Ramen" that my partner ordered; it was flavorless as if they were trying to make a flavor by just adding too much salt to mushroom dashi. "Fried Chicken (Karaage)" was delicious though. Also it was VERY LOUD. We were sitting next to each other, but we could barely hear each other. This is the 4th ramen joints I've tried in London and the least favorite. I'm glad I tried but would not go back. read more

Best ramen I've tried in London. As good as any in new york, apart from undefeated champion ramen gods ippudo. And the egg in bone daddies' tonkotsu ramen is phemonemal - there is some unholy unami in that yolk. read more

Superb ramen.. Nicely priced too. That was a great stop on my travels.

Visited a few months ago and it rocked, literally. A bad-ass asian spot serving straight-up noodle dishes by seriously tough staff with hardcore tunes blasting. We queued for about twenty minutes, but had a delicious cocktail while waiting. The Tonkotsu Ramen was amazing. Definitely worth a second visit, love it as equally as Ross Shonhan's other spot, Flesh & Buns. read more

Best ramen joint been to in UK I don't think it's very authentic. Only gripe is went 2 days in a row second day was not as good as first so might have consistency issues other then that enjoy it read more

Slow service with many mistakes - during a slow period too. Not a huge fan of their modern interpretation of ramen - broth was too thick compared to the extremely thin noodles. read more

i've never really understood the ramen craze, but then I came here! Whenever I have to queue for my dinner I am skeptical, but the queue goes quite quickly. The restaurant is pretty cramped and getting from one corner to the toilet is a bit of an obstacle course! The food itself though is great. The stock is so rich and so delicious. Will definitely be going again! read more

The tamago was awesome, but the black sauce in the tonkasu ramen was an overkill, way too salty. Be sure to ask them not to be too heavy handed with it read more

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

Best f'ing ramen in London. Period. I drop into this joint every time I am in town. I have a high bar for ramen and this place never disappoints. read more

Korean chicken wings and pig bones are probably my favourite food in London currently. It's amazing how crispy, wet, spicy, sweet and succulent they are. I even found myself spooning up the remaining sauce. The tonkotsu was fine but the main reason to go is the starters read more

I miss living in Japan. I miss it so much, this was my second ramen outing in one week. The first to Shoryu, the second to Bone Daddies. The atmosphere in Bone Daddies is more hip than a typical ramen shop, but it's tightly packed. Which means there is a lot of rubbing of butts...not as bad as riding the JR Yamanote line in rush hour in Tokyo, but pretty close. Though, the communal seating and bar seating is good for dining out by yourself or if you come with friends. Well, good luck finding seats on a weekend night if you have friends. The place fills up fast. However, I was seated within a few minutes since I was by myself. I had the Tonkotsu ramen, and I have to say, I do prefer Shoryu's ramen...in egg, broth, noodles, the whole package. Bone Daddies is good, but I prefer Shoryu. Bone Daddies does have some fine, fine fried chicken (kara age). Everyone around me was eating the soft-shelled crab, and seeming to enjoy it. And there were some cute waiters....just saying. All the waitstaff is really attentive and pretty fun. The highlight of my outing was watching some chick curl up the ramen noodles with the chopsticks and the soup spoon like it was spaghetti. B****, please, that's not how you eat ramen!!! The hair ties on the table are so you can get you hair out of the way while you slurp it down! Well, in the end, glad I tried, but I prefer Shoryu's ramen, especially their egg. Price is similar, but I think Bone Daddies may be a few pounds more expensive. I wish I could put my finger on exactly why I prefer Shoryu, but I think it's worth trying both places for yourself. read more

The tonkotsu ramen was delicious. Hit all the right notes. The standouts are the rich, creamy, savoury broth (nicely balanced with a bit of fresh ginger), and that egg.....man that egg. I'm already plotting my next return. If my husband can't make it, I'll come back solo. That's how much I want it. I had amazing, memorable ramen in Tokyo years ago, but sadly lots of mediocre bowls in the years since, but the tonkotsu ramen at Bone Daddies put my taste buds right back in that happy place. read more

Came at 6.30 on a Sunday night when it was busy but there was no wait. Staff are friendly and efficient. Room is buzzy. We were disappointed by the ramen having tried the two tantanmen variants. The soup was thick but a bit bland and heavy on peanuts which added an unwelcome sweetness and starchiness. Missed the savoury umami that's really important in any noodle soup. The noodles didn't hold their texture very well either. Soft shell crab was OK but nothing special. Would definitely recommend Shoryu over Bone Daddies for its more subtle soup, noodles with better bite and excellent range of sides. Altogether better as evidenced by the preponderance of Japanese diners (compared with Soho hipsters). read more

My first review... Just ok. Not too bad. Kinda disappointing when you've had really good ramen in Japan or SF or LA or NY. The noodles are too thin also (at least for my taste). read more

I was not impressed with the broth. I don't see the big fuss with this ramen joint. Perhaps I've been spoilt with excellent ramen places in California and have eaten legit ramen in Tokyo, I just do not see this place deserving a 4 to 5 stars. The broth was just too fatty, I think they just add a chunk of butter to compensate real fat flavor from pork bones. I almost puked after eating from here. I don't see the big hype about this place to be honest, I definitely would not line up and pay for an overpriced bowl of ramen. No thanks. read more

So I have to start off by saying that I do not eat anything that comes from a 4-legged animal - which means I can never have "traditional ramen" in pork broth. Sometimes this makes it difficult to find amazing ramen as they don't spend time to make any kinds of alternative broth. Enter Bone Daddies. Their chicken bone broth is amazing. Top it off with bomb fried chicken & amazing cocktails and you have yourself an amazing place for dinner. Might not be the best place for a date as it is a little noisy but if you're looking for some delish Ramen and a cool spot to pop into for a bite - this is it! You won't regret it :) read more

Delicious. Saturating the fried chicken in the ramen broth is amazing. We tried the Tottham and Spicy Miso ramen both were excellent.

The best way to find any other ramen soup places pointless and tasteless is to come here. Had the spicy miso one and I wasn't even bothered with the loud Hard Rock music. And I hate Hard Rock music ;) read more

Darlings, I never got the big deal about ramen. You can get a packet for .99 cents so why would I go out and pay for it? I'm not a starving uni student. Well, Bone Daddies schooled me on what great ramen is- plus they have the best logo (did they stalk me? It's a girl sticking out her tongue!) & they even provide hairties, so you can get down and dirty with your ramen. Great cocktails and several locations to get your ramen fix. New fave. read more

Good ramen but I prefer Ippudo. The eggs were too cold for my taste and I was quite disappointed by the noodles. The soup was pretty good though. read more

When I walked into Bone Daddies with a friend, it was really crowded, but we only had to wait a few minutes until we were seated. The server was friendly and the ramen was really good. Broth was flavorful and I liked the option to put different toppings on. My only complaint that it was too salty for my taste. However, that's more of a reflection of my individual taste because my friend didn't agree with me. read more

i been to many Donkotsu ramen place in japan, paris and london. I wantied to find the most nearest donkotsu ramen with original japanese one. Obviously here is one of the best in london. Very tender and well made cha-shu makes customer happy. And the quality and taste of Donkostu soup is good. Deep and long time boiled. However, when i was served, noddle and soup was nt hot . it was served with warm-cold. I was disappointed. Evenmore, the combination of topping and soup anf noodle is not good. Separately its good taste though, Too lack of ginger, not hot soup, and lack of bean sprouts. all together its disapointing for me. Because it served as warm-cold, the taste of soup is more greasy. As a big fan of Donkostu ramen, im disappointed, but Still one of the best ramen spot in london. I tried Ittenbari, Nagomi,, ect, Bone daddie is one of best. I want to try Chiken Gara-age. For donkotsu gourmet, its bit disapointed but still one of the place for reducing thirsty for japanese dish. read more

So great! I thought I was back in Japan...amazing place...very busy...shame that the people who work there are NOT Japanese!! didn't seem AS authentic in that sense! read more

Excellent. Definitely worth the queue. Remember to try the fried chicken and also the soft shell crab. The ginger and lime sauce is almost as good as the crab itself. Broths are thick and rich and always benefit from chilli sauce in my opinion. Will be working my way through the whole menu in due course. read more

Wow. Ramen doesnt get better than this. Rich, flavorful, fresh and satisfying. Tantanmen 2 without chilli oil and the T22 are my favorite.

It's okay to say the least not fantastic. The broth is too salty. Definitely had better.

Average. The ramen is decent, but far from impressive or fantastic. Tantanmen2 was okay. Soup was pretty oily and strong, but you can hardly taste the chicken broth and its essence. Noodles was cooked fine, not overcooked or undercooked. Portion was big. The eggs were great, but sadly for mine it was submerged under the oil, ruining the looks and the taste of the egg yolk. read more

The best ramen I've ever tasted. The stock is so smooth and delicious fillings. Atmosphere amazing -they think of everything. Right down to a hair tie for the girls! read more

Yummy ramen, with a few options to pick from. You can add your own crushed garlic which i thought was great. You have to try the chicken wings. The sauce is to die for. Me and my friends were scooping it off the bottom of the bowl. To add to the fun, you can wear big plastic bibs to protect your clothes and they provide hairbands to keep long locks away from the ramen! read more

Amazing ramen! Definitely the best ones in town, and their starters are amazing too! I got there as soon as they opened, the whole place was full in 10 minutes! Definitely worth it though. read more

Bone Daddies - Japanese Near Me - London, XGL

See all

Although the restaurant is small, slightly squishy & the line out the front looks daunting the food is well worth the wait. Great vibe, service and for soho I was amazed with how great the price is! Best Ramen I've had in London. Only 1 option available for Vegetarians! read more

Alright this is a tough one cause I'm not big fan of the food. Business lunch. They should probably change their name to the House of Ramen. ( I'm not talking about your regular Jail House Ramen by the way) oh no. This is the fancy type, made in Japan. I'll recommend getting liquor up for this, unless you're a hippie or vegetarian, in which case you're fine. I had what I thought would it be a safe choice: the steak - it looked nice and the meat was good, just a little too spicy.. and the need to ease down on them seeds! but I guess that's some cultural thing. read more

Good Tonkotsu, thats all I know, good amount of pork, tender noodles, array of condiments including a garlic press and bulbs! Negatives: served slightly cold, service slightly inattentive. Not sure if its good value for money. However it really is tasty and there is a lovely fresh ginger taste that cuts through what is sometimes a rather rich and cloying dish. read more

Helpful staff, friendly and on their game, quick to fix mistakes and help with anything and everything. Food is great quality and innovative. Always a good atmosphere and cool place to eat read more
