It was not worth it. The slices of meat were too thin. The regular tonkotsu x would have been good enough. The hanjuku egg was not worth the extra as well. Instead of paying extra for the meat and egg, order a bowl of rice. There is plenty of small chunks of chashu and would go well to eat together after the noodles are gone.

4-ish stars rounded up. Pretty solid ramen shop!…read more I ordered the gekikara and it was pleasingly spicy; not chugging-water-spicy but still in-your-face-spicy. :p Very flavorful broth but as a nitpick it was a tad overly salty. Decent chashu pork belly; tasty but not the most succulent. Well-seasoned tan-tan minced pork but on the dry side. I requested kata (firm) noodles but the noodles were pretty soft.....still enjoyable to eat though. As for my drink I had the homemade jasmine tea lemonade. Kinda over-brewed-bitter lol. Very polite and attentive service (pretty much boosted my rating)! Overall I'd say this spot is a recommend from me if you already happen to be in the area.

Came here for late lunch. There was a good number of customers at 2 pm so that was surprising…read more There was only one waitress and she was very nice and was surprisingly was able to keep up with all the customers. We ordered the chicken katsu curry ramen and the Shoryu chicken curry with rice. They were both good but nothing out of the ordinary. Although for some reason the ramen smelled very fishy...maybe due to the fish cakes and nori? We also ordered the strawberry lychee virgin mockito which was good but a ton of ice so barely any drink. The cost was ok and they auto charge a 12.5% tip which is optional but still kinda strange it's automatically added to the bill if it's optional? Anyways coming from the US, I'm used to giving more so it didn't bother me.

Not sure what time they close, but it is not 11pm as advertised on their door. We walked in at…read more10:25 and they wouldn't seat us, saying "last order has already happened." Apparently they close at 10 or earlier. They need to update their signage to accurately reflect their hours. Showing up 35 minutes before your advertised closing time and not being able to buy food is extremely frustrating.

Small strip of a dining room. Diners at the counter along windows can be separated by partitions…read more Small number of tables supplemented by exterior cafe tables. Open kitchen in back Service quick and efficient. After selecting ramen you can choose to customize noodle firmness and soup richness. Manager or owner was close but not hovering. Only ordered Tonkotsu ramen but there is a large selection of sushi, sashimi and other Japanese specialties. Soup order rich had a strong pork bone base and was served very hot as it should be. Noodles firm as ordered. Good proportion of toppings. Order combination with Gyoza ordered fried. Gyoza were the weak point. Not sure why but had large white areas. See photo. Interesting toppings at table included pickled ginger and peeled garlic cloves with a garlic press. Sesame shooter, shoyu and maybe an oil. Chopsticks were nice disposable. Cost was about 15 pounds, a reasonable amount outside of Japan. Comparable to Chicago prices. I will return although there was an interesting Japanese restaurant with a belt across the alley.

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.

The Mercato Mayfair is essentially an indoor food court living in an old church…read more It's not particularly accessible, there are quite a few stairs to get to the second floor and upstairs patio (there is an elevator but it's for wheelchair users only) but they do have a nice array of restauraunts. We wished we'd known you can just sit at the patio and order and they'll deliver it to you, but you can also go up to each stall to order and receive a pager. We liked that it was an easy way to eat outdoors (which is what we tend to do while traveling) and that they had quite a bit to choose from. The stain glass window is also really gorgeous as you walk up and down the stairs. All in all, while maybe not a must-do, if you're staying in the area, it's definitely a good stop for eats if you're looking for something simple and easy.

Loved the esthetic of this beautiful food hall! I highly recommend a visit. We found this food hall…read moreby chance and I am so happy we did. I had heard stories of it being a beautiful former church that was renovated into a modern food hall. There are a variety of merchants and food options. There is no AC but I was cool inside. The bathrooms are in the basement. For the foods, you order at the individual restaurants and are provided with a restaurant pager. You are allowed to sit anywhere. Overall it was such an interesting and enjoyable experience. I'd go back just did the ambiance alone!

We've been fortunate enough to find some really good ramen spots in different places, and this was…read moreone of them. Looking for something different after enjoying traditional British fare for our first few days in London, we happened to be in SoHo and settled on ShoRyu, because we both love ramen. Seriously, what's not to love? SHORYU is located in SoHo (which is a MUST-SEE area in London), and is in a beautiful food court area, with three levels of different types of restaurants. We settled on the ramen, which happens to be on the ground level. We were seated at a table with a QR code on it, which allowed us to place our order. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and we opted to sit outside. We ordered the Piri Piri Tonkatsu and the Dracula Tonkotsu, and my wife also got herself an oolong tea. The prices were very reasonable (about £15-£16 per giant bowl of ramen), and the food came out very quickly. The broth was rich and full of flavor. The meats and other ingredients all tasted fresh and came together for a deliciously balanced meal. So If you're hungry and happen to be in the SoHo area, you can't go wrong with ShoRyu!!

Rec: Gekikara- this is a spicy tan tan (minced pork) ramen. I surprisingly enjoyed this ramen more than I expected as the spice was not overkill and you could still enjoy the taste of the pork-chicken broth. I loved how there were a lot of bean sprouts and wood ear mushrooms giving the dish a nice complimentary crunchy texture. Chashu came in interestingly long thin strips but had a good balance of meat to fat. Skip: Hanjuku boiled egg- found it rather bitter and way too salty. Over steeped in their proprietary sauce.
