Bone Daddies Old Street in Islington

Great atmosphere and cracking food with staff making sure everyone’s enjoying themselves and their food!! I just want to go back and try another noodle bowl!!

Such a lovely experience Ashley and Trinity were so nice and we had AMAZING customer service. - Lily and Aria. Would definitely come back to this location.

Bone Daddies is easily becoming one of my favourite spots, the food is always great, reasonably priced and arrives at the table hot hot hot. On my most recent visit, Danny looked after us, his hospitality went above and beyond and my friend and I both had a great evening.

Great ramen, especially on a chilly night! Good options and fairly priced. I’ll be recommending to friends.

Came in on the off chance and was greatly surprised. Really good staff (Ashley looked after us), tasty food served in good time. The bao buns and wings were fab. Well worth a visit if in the area.

Abbiamo scelto il locale casualmente in quanto in prossimità dell' hotel dove alloggiavamo. Si è rivelata una scelta azzeccata. Frequentato da molti local, non si deve spaventarsi se all' ingresso di forma fila in attesa. I dipendenti si assicurano di informare i tempi d'attesa, piuttosto brevi a dispetto del locale piccolo. Servizio rapido e curato, molto attenti ad allergie ed intolleranze alimentari. Il ramen ottimo, gustoso e intenso. Ne abbiamo provato di due tipologie, sia con l'uovo che con il pollo fritto. Sicuramente un locale dove vale la pena fermarsi se si è amanti della cucina giapponese e fusion.

From start to finish this was a great experience. The staff were super helpful in getting us a table for 5 to celebrate our son’s 30th birthday and our daughter’s return from Australia. The kids were starving so we had some sides as we arrived. All very good especially the Padron peppers. 3 of us had the Ramen which were all great and the girls had the Bao buns. Heaps of food and all delicious. House wine and beers v reasonably priced. Great service from the staff.

Just came on the off chance and what a find. Not as much choice as Wagamama but the food is much nicer and everything had lots of flavour. Pork starters was very nice and the cock, cock chicken ramen was excellent. I had a can of there own brand ipa and loved it. Well worth a try this place. Also all good with the service

Really great ramen and bao - nice quiet location and exceptional service. The Pork Pork Chilli broth of the ramen is very good and the charred pork belly was delicious - great value for money. Fried chicken baos are delicious - you could almost have say three of these with a beer for a light and cheap lunch. It's not gourmet cuisine, but it's damn tasty and moreish!!

Really tasty broth, we tried the tantanmen and tonkotsu. The yuzu margarita was really refreshing. Generous portions.

Cosy vibe and easy accessible to drop in for a weekend lunch. Helpful and super friendly staff. The menu is full of fun Ramen options, 5 baos and some sides. Unfortunately the food falls flat, it’s somewhat tasteless and doesn’t live up to the expectations. The bao breads doughy, the meat was cold, the Ramen not balanced and lacked saltiness, and so on. It’s ok, but not enough for me to revisit.

The staff was very unfriendly. We where rushed from the moment they set us down at the table. Menu’s where thrown At least the food was ok..

Have eaten at least a thousand bowls of ramen in Japan and my home country in my lifetime. So when we travel for too long, ramen is a comfort food. Been disappointing always until Bone Daddies. They are pretty close to what we have! Plus point is the fresh peel garlic. Was a lovely touch. I had the chilli version. Was very comforting on a cold day. Went before dinner crowd. Service was quick and good. Washroom was very clean.

Authentic with extras such as a Korean barbecue chicken wings appetiser. Noodles were great, good flavour, tender but firm. Tonkotsu broth was awesome, better than some in Tokyo. Eggs perfectly done. Chashu was sliced a bit thin for my taste and could benefit from a stronger cooking marinade.

Tasty buns and amazing ramen, big portions and quality of the food is really good! Pleasant customer service and good atmosphere, loved the music selection! Hope to be back soon!

Not impressed with this, was given a bao bun with duck in rather than aubergine. Being trusting my sister ate it, only to find she’d put meat in her mouth for the first time in 4 years.. they also failed to bring over a tea and were overall really inattentive. Our server didn’t take note of our order, thinking she might be able to keep a mental note but maybe reconsider for the future seeing how it turned out, to add to the sham of a show they asked us why we weren’t going to pay the service charge. Why would we pay a service charge when the service was awful? She told us ‘they were tired’, we all work 12 hour days. My sister sometimes 13 in a hospital for 3 days in a row and you don’t see her administering the wrong medicine to patients. Need to screw their heads on and improve.

For someone who works in hospitality I can say that today was the worst table service I experienced on so many times I come to Bone Daddies. My typical Soho branch should’ve been the one I should gone tonight. Bone daddies Old Street, looks like a different chain. Although the food was delicious, the waiter served us like he didn’t want to serve us at all. Several times we requested for stuff that we had requested already so many times. The attitude continued the same, with no check back done to make sure our food was at its best. Our plates were never taken from our table, only when we asked for the bill… even to pay we had to wait long. And this wasn’t only with my table because I could notice the customers around me, that wanted to order, clearly bothered by the rudeness and the slow service. To finish, although we had to ask to pay for the bill, the waiter continued to treat us like he wanted us out of the restaurant. 5 star kitchen but the staff needs to uplift more they’re customer service skills. Front of house are the first impressions…

Bao Buns were delicious, but value for money is poor and the service lets them down overall. £2.25 service charge added to an £18 bill (which was four buns). Most likely won’t return.

Had a late lunch yesterday with two friends.......food was good BUT we ordered three glasses of wine and had to SEND TWO GLASSES BACK AS THE GLASSES WERE DIRTY WITH LIPSTICK STILL ON THE GLASS !!!! Ah.... please with Corons Virus etc get your staff...

I went to eat a quick ramen with my boyfriend today. In bind street bone daddies . I enjoyed it And came home feeelj g horribly sick . Didnt eat much foood the entire day so couldn’t have been anything else. The ramen was not...

Great ramen, good service, would recommend and will return. High seating is a little uncomfortable but there are other table options

I was having some ramen with my gf and a friend. We were all very keen on the ramen, however I must say the show of the night were the cocktails and the baos and the cocktails. The ramen was good, but not the amazing...

The food was OK. The beer was OK. The men’s toilet however really needs a re-think. The toilet brush holder and the stainless steel waste bin we’re both urine splattered and rusting to the point where they were corroded through. Not a huge problem, but...

Have been to Kensington branch a few times for Ramen (underwhelmed) nut first time at Okd Street. Had Squid and then Salmon Poke which I though was surprisingly good. Decent price and service. Will be back

Stumbled upon Bone Daddies by accident as Honest burger was a tad busy, am I am pleased to say it was a pleasure. Atmosphere, service, food and drink were up here with high standard. Tantanman1 was the dish of choice, it was pretty quickly delivered...

Been here a handful of times and everything is brilliant. Always better when a little quieter, atmosphere is lovely and food tastes even better. May seem a little expensive but is definitely worth the money. If you want good ramen this is definitely the place.

After a long flight, nothing beats the 20 hour bone broth ramen. I feel myself preparing as I slurp it down. So yummy.

First time here, food is good, small portions, poor value for money, got sat down on a very long table with other guests and was constantly asked to stand up to let people pass, service is ok. Seems like I missed out on the house...

Nice place for a warming bowl of noodles as the weather starts to turn. Although a meat eater, I found the vegan tofu noodles very tasty and filling. A deep, flavorful mushroom stock didn't make me miss the meat options at all. My only gripe...

My friend and I met for dinner. I have never been to the restaurant before and enjoyed myself. The salmon tacos were excellent, so fresh and tasty. The ramen was also very good size and delicious. Not too salty. We were most impressed with how...

Expensive awful food, never again Ramen from this place. I went for a quick lunch take away, service was quick, staff were friendly and place looked very trendy. sitting area and bar looked good too! however then came the food. Food was tiny in quantity...

Myself and my boyfriend are big fans of oriental cuisine so we were excited to try here. I order the Raw Salmon rice dish, it was lovely, very fresh and easy to eat, but little flavour and more of a lunch item. My partner had...

I was skeptical at first about how good this place could be as it generally has very high reviews but I loved it. I have the mushroom ramen and the salt and pepper squid. Such lovely staff and atmosphere.

I like to call in here each time I visit London. The food is amazing and staff are really friendly and go out of their way for us as we always ask for a quieter spot by the window.

Nice warm and friendly environment. Tasty food, good portion size. Good for lunch. Buzzing busy place with prompt service. Will happily return.

Good Japanese food served in a friendly atmosphere and very efficiently. Worth visiting if you’re around.

Excellent service by Axel Rose lookalike and French waiter, delicious chicken wings followed by delicious ramen in a great location. Will be back .

Premise: I went on a Saturday night with my girlfriend. We both have been working in the hospitality industry for years and we know how hard it can be, especially during the weekend. Prior to our arrival, given the fact that was already 10 PM,...

Tasted ok as I was eating it but like some others say, the broth is thick and heavy. I ate at around 12pm and am a big eater and 9 hours later, I’m still bloated with the heavy peanut/ sesame sludge repeating on me. I...

What a great place and fun design. Was staying and working in the Shoreditch area, and happened upon this place on a cold, Saturday afternoon. Exactly what I needed. They have all sorts of options ... and totally vegan options as well using mushroom broth....

This was the first time I had been to such a restaurant with this cuisine. I went with some trepidation but was wonderfully surprised. The food was exceptional and service very good. Get there early as it gets very busy very quickly.

I have hated sprouts all my life. Until now. Because now I have tried Bone Daddies crispy Brussels sprouts with pomegranate. They are absolutely delicious. Together with a fabulous turkey katsu, I had the most perfect lunch at the Old Street Bone Daddies. All washed...

6 of us rocked into BD’s for a late lunch, no spare seats available at the time but was seated within 15 mins. All meals ordered were received well (timely, tasty, flavoursome) and the service was good. Overall a pleasant experience, I would return. All...

I visited here with my boyfriend on a weekend visit to London and really enjoyed our lunch here. The ramen was delicious and good value for money and the staff were nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend for any ramen fans.

The food here is soooo delicious. I was a bit hesitant at first to go here as I’m not one to order soup at restaurants- however these are super hardy soups and unbelievably delicious as well as filling. In addition the side pork buns are...

This was our first visit to the Old Street Bone Daddies. It is relatively new, nicely designed with big windows and lots of light. We were there early on a Sunday so for awhile we had the whole place to ourselves. Service was attentive and...

Lucy thank you for the amazing night !! From the "fake happy birthday couple" food was great but service was amazing

Bone Daddies offers a friendly ambience and a cozy environment for a quick dinner. It serves a variety of ramen and delicious bao buns. The service was mediocre. The food quality was good. The pork and chicken buns are tasty options.

Really great asian food, Kimchi particularly nice. Ask for a bib or you'll splash the broth down your front.

Was up in london on business trip, decided to catch up with family. All i wanted was rice, yet they insisted something else. I didn't fancy the other items on the menu so i asked for something chicken and rice then. Whatever it was the...

The food was delicious with my favourite dish being the child edamame as sharing snack is was super yummy. The ramen and the poke were not mind blowing with the ramen not being that hot and the tofu poke just being a little boring (serves...

Met an old friend and decided to go to Bone daddies after reading about them in a review. We did not have to waitand were taken straight to the table and we asked if we could sit somewhere else and were happily accomodated. We were...

Ramen was lovely and flavourful, as were the small dishes we had to start. Nice cocktails as well. Additionally friendly attentive service.

This was our second disappointing trip to the Old Street Bone Daddies. The staff were flustered and curt even though the restaurant wasn’t close to full. We ordered two ramens, a soft shell crab, a pint of asahi and some tap water. The ramen and...

I came here with some friends for a late lunch on a Saturday. Being in the city on a weekend, on a quiet back street, the restaurant didn't have many customers so the staff were certainly not rushed off their feet. The first waitress that...

Came to Bone Daddies for a friend's birthday last month. Staff were very helpful when booking for a table of 13, regardless to the small restaurant. Food came out in large portions, which I was not expecting! Had the Chicken Thigh Katsu Curry which was...

The manager was friendly and helpful. The ramen was top notch! The chicken wings were crap. The waitress was pretty useless and needs replacing. I would defiantly return as the ramen was great and the manager was good.

Loved my aubergine and miso bun, and the Salmon Poke bowl. Great service. Also lobe the little touches like the plastic bibs and sesame seed grinder on the table!

I'm amazed at how incredibly busy it seems and yet they can always fit you in and serve you with a smile on their faces. We hadn't visited in a few months and one member of staff remembered not only what we ordered last time...

I’ve rated this as Terrible due to the fact All of the Staff working on Saturday 26/5 were down right Rude. I would say every one of them looked as though they had Asked for the Day off and had been told No so they...

Extremely fatty do not order this dish and not tasty either The chicken t22 ramen however was lovely.

I’ve been here several times with a group of girlfriends. Really loved the food but my god the staff are rude and miserable. I asked for a piece of cutlery and the lady looked at me like ‘how dare you’. Also didn’t say thank you...

Not my usual choice of fare, or area for going out, but happened to be in the area following another activity and looking for somewhere to eat and a friend recommended. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. Yummy passionfruit cocktail, and had...

Very tasty steamed buns and Ramen. An excellent selction. A very enjoyable meal. Worth the trip across London to get there.

Nice place for ramen or katsu. Limited drinks bar (i.e., no vodka etc). The buns as starters are nice, and filling. You need to queue to get seated (even if no one is at the door to help you out!). I'd recommend.

Good ramen quality food my only issue is the price everything else is perfect very impressed highly recommend

I like ramen and so does my daughter. This place has a great vibe - cool, trendy and busy. We shared a pork bun and pig bones to start- bun was delicious, light and fresh; the ribs were lacking in meat but flavourful - sweet,...

Popped into bone daddies old street with a friend to grab some lunch. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Got our food in less than 10 minutes of putting our order in - perfect if you're popping out for a quick...

If you are in Old Street and want to grab something quick (not walk to shoreditch) vegan restaurant food can be difficult to find. I was surprised that there are a handful of options to chose from for vegans. The staff were very knowledgable even...

You cant go wrong with a visit to Bone Daddies and this branch at Old Street doesn't disappoint. Your standard accompaniments sit available for you to personalise your ramen to your desire. The only issue, is that it gets so busy due to its location...

The most awful dinner we had in a while. Terrible service. Non-attentive staff, unapologetic managers, terrible food and a long wait due to "special" requests. Will never eat again here. Apparently taking out the egg and not frying the tofu was too complicated of an...

It's testament to the number of times you can visit BD and never hit a dud note. I've been to the 2012 original in Peter Street, Soho, a number of times and the more recent (2016) Old Street branch about three times. Everything they do...

The ramen was delicious. Was warm and cosy just what you want from a ramen. We also had the korean chicken wings, which was delicious.

Nothing to write home about, not the most authentic ramen in London. However the menu is quite experimental and provides you with a lot of options. Wouldn't be the first place to where Id return but might give it another go in the future. Visited...

The menu is predominantly Japanese with an assortment of Asian cuisine (Korean fried chicken ).The standout dish was bbq pork bones (ribs ) with good caramelisation and an addictive sweetish soy with a tinge of spiciness. The deep fried soft shell crabs was good with...

Went there for dinner this evening with some friends and it was the worst ramen bowl we’ve had. Noodles were undercooked, service was rude and the soup tasted terrible. Instant noodles taste better than this.

A very trendy atmosphere with great staff. The food was delicious, one of the best ramen I ever had. Also tried some Kushikatsu which are mouth wateringly good. So greedy we got, ordered some Korean fried chicken - which was delicious as well but I...

The Salmon and avocado tostadas are to die for. The selection of ramen is very good. The stools are uncomfy, so this place is not for lounging in. Quick and decently priced for the area, but by the end of dinner you really want to...

Had really yummy food but the stools are back breaking. I had to lean against the window to relax my back... not good but the food was gawjus! The crab was awesome as was the chicken. We only had starters here and had mains at...

Great after work dinner on a cold day. The ramen dishes are soo good and most of them on the spicy side, so if you dont do spicy- you might struggle! Service always quick and friendly. Sake options are nice and the serving is generous....

Good flavours on the tonkotsu but portions are too small. It becomes expensive for what you get. I went on a friday for lunch. Service is average. I had to wait for long before the food arrived.

We have literally just got back to our hotel room after visiting Bone Daddies for the first time and I couldn't wait to write a review for this place- it was absolutely brilliant! Me and my partner had a selection of side dishes such as...

We have been visiting this restaurant quite often and I brought friends there too a few times. I really like their ramen but on Thursday the quality was confirmed by two Japanese businessmen that sat close to us and they said it was the best...

Having heard people rant and rave about the Korean fried chicken wings, I was distraught to find out they were sold out on this particular day.I was distraught... heart broken. However a lovely, attentive waitress recommended the pig bones... oh boy was I not disappointed!...

There was 12kg of sesame flavouring in food. Only go if you have a sesame fetish. Bill comes out wife has a heart attack passes out. £26 for two ramen (actually just two bowls of sesame) and table water (sesame flavoured). Friendly staff though. Will...

If you are looking for authentic taste and traditional Japanese ramen cooking this is not the place. The dishes tasted artificial and synthetic. Too salty. You can tell they don't cook much there, everything is already made, like fast food. I do not recommend.

The place has a nice vibe and attractive decor and the staff have a relaxed/chilled feel that makes the place feel very welcome. All good on that front. I ordered the soft shell crab and pork ramen for around £14 and asked for extra bok...

Very hipster type place, with hipster type waiting staff. Extras such as egg and Pak choi (3 slice of pak choi = £1.5, should be included) push a bowl of ramen up to £15! Not enough noodles in the bowl either, left still hungry.

Went with a friend who had been the previous night and wanted to go back! I had the pork ramen which was delicious. I would the portion size to have been bigger, both because it was delicious but also because it was only just enough...

First time try out with a friend, as he love this place and I also heard many good reviews about this. Was superb happy and look forward last night. I've ordered the pork soup noodle, tasted bitter somehow (the roast garlic is over cook?) and...

I visited this restaurant last night with a friend and we shared the Korean fried chicken wings (delicious...they should bottle that sauce). I ordered the Spicy Miso ramen and my friend, the Kimchi ramen. We really enjoyed both. The pork in mine was tougher than...

We arrived at 8.55pm knowing they stopped serving food at 9pm but didn't think it would be too much of a problem saying we were in London! How wrong we were. We were greeted by possibly the manager who was very unwelcoming and rude telling...

I just like it... I like the crab shells, the pork ribs, tofu... my fav ramen is the chicken.. it's a cool place.. whenever I'm in London I pass by...

Didn't taste authentic or even nice for that matter. There was practically no seasoning. I have no idea why it's rated highly. But for people who like flavor, best to avoid. It's expensive too, especially for what it is!

I've been to a couple of bone daddies around london but this was one sub standard for some reason. The ramen was also not hot....and then service was meh. Had to wait for dessert of defrosted mochi for like 20 minutes lol. I think I...

I love this place so much i'm hesitant to share the 'secret'. Just the tastiest in london for ramen and the coolest vibe.

I had wings as starter and crab tokotsu. The soup was extremely salty and there was not enough broth. The waitress bump the soup in front of me when I still was having my starter. Definitely not worse for money.

Great little place right next to the station with friendly staff and tasty food. Don't bother with starters they are ok but the ramen is amazing. I was with a friend who is vegetarian and she enjoyed the veggie broth.

Having eaten at a couple of the other Bone Daddies - in Soho and Kensington - I approached the Old Street restaurant aware of how good the food could be, but with enough experience of small restaurant chains to know that a formula that works...

This was my first visit here and it was by far the best ramen I've eaten outside of Japan! I found myself describing it as a 'taste of heaven'. Very friendly staff, quick service and nice extra touches :)
