Koi Ramen Bar in Lambeth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The dirtiest place I’ve ever eaten at in the U.K. Laughably awful. The ramen was average at best but mostly tasteless and the chicken was low quality. Avoid. Awful awful awful.

I went for lunch with my eight year old son as he has wanted to try ramen for a while. He loved it. We both had tonkotsu pork ramen with an egg, which was rich and tasty and just the right size. We also had a mini plate of pork gyoza which were delicious. The tiny restaurant was busy and orders were coming in for takeaway but service was quick and friendly. We will be back!

Nice place but i strongly believe i was served chicken gyozas and not the vegetarian like i ordered so not impressed at all.

One of the best Ramens I have ever tasted. We had two separate Ramens and they were both delicious. Great gyozas and a generous potion of edamame beans.

Service absolutely atrocious. Took 50 minutes to get my Ramen. Obviously messed my order up with no explanation or apology. Food bang average. Avoid.

Visited Sunday, nobody else here. Ordered two plates of Dumplings. These are premade and just heated on a griddle. It took nearly 30 minutes. We had to check they hadnt forgotten the order. There were 4 staff, but only two customers.

This place is super chill and has a lovely environment, been here a couple of times and each trip has been wonderful. The staff members; Jenny and Daniel had made not only the experience wonderful but also serve tasty food to have.

The proper vibes of Brixton, the sitting area outside and delicious ramen. I recommend it to everyone. Tasty, not too spicy with well made noodles. The taste on Japan, just in London.

I had a takeaway naked ramen from another branch (Elephant and castle) and it was absolutely superb. So much so, that I am going to order the exact same tonight!!

I ordered takeaway from here two nights ago, I had the vegan ramen and pork gyoza. The food was amazing, so much so that I ordered the exact same thing the following night. If I’m in the area again I won’t hesitate to return.

Came here for dinner, ordered the pork ramen and the tofu ramen - both were really delicious and the total cost of the meal was £14 each for a big bowl of ramen with an egg, and a beer. Very much recommend and we will be coming back!

First time here on the Eat out scheme. We will be back! So tasty - I just loved the naked ramen. So much flavour. And the gyozas were wonderful. Super quick service, though very busy and lots of seating outdoors. A+++

They just opened a restaurant in Brixton! They had the stand in pop Brixton and now there is more room and even an outside area in front of San Marino. The food is really tasty and the staff super nice. I’ve tried a few ramen places around and this is the best!

Used to be good but have slipped badly. Wanted to support local business but after waiting 45min with no food, it turns out they hadn’t even started our food. When the food came it was wrong and when we mentioned that, we were told WE were wrong until the lady looked at the order again. Get rid of the attitude

Went to dine and ordered vegetarian ramen as well as two portions of vegetarian gyoza. Ordered at the table as was required by the new corona rules. Order took about 45 minutes to be brought to my table only to be incomplete. Not a big deal, as the 'waiter' brought me swiftly my second portion of vegetarian gyoza. However, they swam in oil which the first portion didn't and after tasting them I realised that they are not vegetarian. I asked again the waiter only to have a very rude person of Koi Ramen dropping the gyoza that the waiter took back at my request at my table. Now the person from Koi Ramen did not wear a mask nor cover my food before she dropped it off again at my table. Absolutely incredible she continued to argue which spoiled my whole dinner.

Guys your gyoza are to die for and until 2 weeks ago I’ve always had an amazing experience with you. This evening for the second time in a row (this evening and last week) your giving ridiculously inaccurate wait times. Please don’t say 5 mins and then it’s 15, or 10 and then it’s 20 mins. You need to learn about expectation management - under promise and over deliver and don’t prioritise your deliveroo orders so obviously over your customers there. In addition to this one of the chefs was actually pretty rude this evening. This isn’t acceptable and she needs to be a little more apologetic. If I told I client ‘I haven’t stopped for ages, do you want a refund? I can’t tell you how long it would take I’m too busy!’ They’d laugh at me and I’d be fired. Totally unacceptable attitude. You have a great business - behave a bit more professionally and it would be perfect. I’ll be back but not for long if this continues

We went to Koi Ramen today and were really surprised by how rude the staff were. They managed to be unpleasant both to us and to another member of staff who seemed new and who was being polite and just trying to serve us. The...

I ordered some veggie gyoza came back ten minutes later. The lady never apologised for the food being late or acknowledged me. Eventually handing over some gyoza. Im muslim and my veggie friend shared them and realised they were pork. I went back. They didn't...

This is the fourth time I’ve been back here and thought I should finally write a review. Their vegetarian goyza is literally my favourite food on the planet. The service is quick and polite, the price is reasonable and the food is amazing.

Literally addicted to this place. Probably eat or order from there twice a week on average. Constantly disappointed when I have ramen elsewhere and generally Koi is a fair bit if not considerably cheaper. Gyozas’ also fantastic.

Koi Ramen is my go-to at Pop! The ramen is delicious and so reasonable, good portion size too. Staff are always friendly and efficient. I’ve always gone for the tonkotsu ramen and stuck too it because it’s addictive!! The goyozas are also amazing if you...

Stopped by and tried their tonkotsu ramen which was fantastic! I am a regular customer at Shoryu in London, like Ippodu and the other great ramen places in central London, but this is right up there with them. Straight forward menu, good price and def....

I stopped in here for dinner before a gig at the Brixton Academy and the Ramen was just what I needed on a cold winter's evening. The food is cooked fresh to order and the Ramen was delicious - the pork melted in the mouth...

I stopped twice, once for lunch and once for dinner... Although Brixton has a huge variety of restaurants and street food, I can't wait to come back and eat again their amazing noodles! I tried the pork and vegetarian option, I should say they're very...

A good ramen but nothing out of this world. The ramen broth lacks in flavour and seems to be too watered down. Their dumplings are better but still nothing to rave about.

YUM! We stopped off at Pop Brixton before a gig, and this place smelled that good,that we tried it. We had the gyozas and ramen and it was fantastic will def be going back and I always recommend it to friends!

My favorite spot in Pop in Brixton. I love the miso pork but all of them are so tasty and good! also the gyoza are excellent

Having never been to Pop Brixton we finally went for a peek today and now can’t believe we haven’t been before. From the 15 or so pop-up eateries in this little oasis made up from discarded containers, we chose Koi. My Tonkotsu, a cloudy pork...

Superb. Quality. Value. Flavour. I did not expect too much and had been told it was good. But it was great. Broth and noodles make or break a ramen and both were perfect. I ordered more. Was a real joy to see such a little...

My boyfriend and I love this place but lately they have put very little to no pork at all in both our ramens. We are a bit disappointed... other than that quality is great!

Had chicken gyoza with chilli oil followed by pork belly miso ramen. Best gyoza I’ve ever had. Ramen could have had more meat and veg, bit noodle heavy, and broth could have more depth of flavour. But that’s being critical, was very nice.

I had the signature tonkotsu ramen with egg - absolutely perfect on a cold day. very tasty and authentic. very prompt and friendly service.

Had the pleasure of getting the shoyu ramen and a side of pork and chicken Mandu at koi in pop Brixton and it was delicious, topped off with egg ginger and chilli, loads of food for a great price so will be back for sure...

I first came here on maternity leave when I would wander aimlessly around Brixton Village and market to try and get my daughter to sleep.... I still come here almost weekly, and she's now 2! Few choices, but heck, who cares when the broth is...

I've ordered from koi Ramen bar many times (especially on hangovers!) and they are great. The Gyozas are also excellent. Def my favorite place for this type of food in London.

Koi Ramen Bar has amazing, rich flavoured soup, some of the best I've tried. The price is pretty reasonable too. The shop owner, Ming, is a nice, friendly bloke too.

I've had ramen plenty of times from Koi before and last night was no exception. I got the tonkotsu ramen and some pork gyoza to take away. Really creamy delicious broth and plenty of noodles. There could be a bit more pork belly and seaweed/mushroom...

Chose here out of the many excellent choices at Pop Brixton. Pleased we did,?had the ramen and some gyozas. My missus couldn't get them out her mind so we had to call back two hours later for more gyozas !! Must say other places looked...

Only been to the new Tooting market branch (and had it delivered many many times) and it never disappoints. I'd never had ramen before but as someone has also commented I could also eat this literally everyday!!!! The menu is small and simple and you...

We eat here almost every weekend​. Impossible to get tired of it. They are the best noodles in London!

BEST FOOD EVER. Our friend took us to Pop Brixton as we were down for his birthday and unfortunately it has ruined me for most food in Manchester. Had the Pork Tonkatsu with chicken gyoza and plan to force my boyfriend to trek across London...

The tonkotsu ramen was so good and amazing value too! Had my meal delivered to me on a hungover Sunday in less than 30 minutes.

Delicious ramen!! Only three options to pick which I found good, coz they are just specialised in ramen. It's quite cool place to go to grab some food. You can sit on the benches on the top or just take it away. I will be...

One of my favourite places to eat in Brixton,the ramen and gyoza never disappointed . Always excellent service!!

Surely not the proper ramen... starting from the noodles... they should be the white and thick ones called "udon". Quality is quite good for the price, but the menu is offering only 3 options: 1 vegetarian, and 2 with pork. If you fail in liking...

Surrounded by great food, drink and culture within Pop Brixton, Koi is genuinely my favourite weekend spot to grab a bite of traditional Ramen. Whether you are hungry or not Koi's Tonkotsu Pork Ramen will make you feel better. Also a great place to go...
