Food ok but miserable service

This could be a really nice place but our experience was awful because of the staff. First the lady taking our orders was really snarky to a guest who asked for Asahi Dry and didn’t realize there were two to choose from (alc and non-alc). Then they forgot this guest’s order and another person got their ramen without an egg that was supposed to be there. We chased them up about the forgotten order but… they forgot it again so we had to go to the kitchen once more. Everyone was long finished before that person finally got theirs. No apologies and we were still charged 12% service. Bad experience, which is a pity, because the food was good.

Nice Ramen

Quite nice Ramen! They don't have that many vegan options but the one I tried was pretty good! I liked the broth and the amount of noodles. The service was not that great, however. We had to wait for ages until someone came to pay. And the tip (12,5%) was included into the prize right away, without us being able to decide if we want to give it or not.

Lovely aesthetic

Once you walk in to the restaurant it looks like a whole different place. The aesthetic looks like 90’s Japan. The food is also good with two different vegan options for ramen and many different vegan starters. The place is kid friendly with a child menu which has smaller portions.

Pros: Amazing aesthetic, Good ramen, Kid friendly

Authentic ramen

Great little place behind the Japan Centre supermarket. They have 2 vegan ramen options - a traditional Miso ramen and a Napolina ramen which is a tomato and basil broth with thick noodles and vegan cheese. Me and my husband tried both and it was very authentic to what we'd had in Tokyo! Would definitely come again if they expanded their options.

Pros: Authentic, Nice vibe, Reasonable price

Cons: Only 2 options

Solid ramen for lunch

Around the corner from the Japan Centre entrance is its ramen house, Panton Yokocho. The noodles in the miso ramen are delicious, and there are several vegan toppings to choose from. End your visit with some vegan miso chocolate and cookie dough ice cream.

Really delicious vegan ramen

The food was really good but I would have loved a vegan version of Kitsune ramen, simply by changing the broth to vegetable and removing the fish cake. This is a favourite dish of mine in Japan and usually I’ve had it vegan no problem. Otherwise love the theme and atmosphere, and not badly priced. The fact that it’s right above Japan Centre is a bonus! The staff were really nice too and attentive to our dietary requirements and allergies. Will be going back next time I’m in London.

Pros: Vegan options, Staff attentive to dietary requirements, Great theme and atmosphere

Cons: Could have more vegan options
