Shoryu in City of London, Westminster

Welcoming environment, fast service, good ramen with a lingering touch of ginger, I didn't like the ravioli, good bill of €30 for beer ramen and ravioli.

Nice little lunch time ramen place. Pork stock ramen delicious.

I haven't been back to this Shoryu in quite a few years, and the broth has really gone downhill. I remember, back in the day, the broth was so rich with collagen, and you could really taste the 14 hours spent simmering. But now, the broth is watery, with hardly any flavor except for saltiness. The ramen is still good, but their signature is the broth, so I’m very disappointed. The karaage chicken is nicely fried and crispy, but karaage isn't supposed to be crispy. The service is okay; I didn't have to wait long. It's more of a noodle bar than a restaurant, so nothing outstanding, but about what you'd expect.

After our disappointing visit to Shoryu, I am happy to share that the concerns were addressed promptly and thoroughly. The service was both quality and professional, attributes I highly value in any business. We look forward to returning and savoring their delicious ramen once more. A special thanks to Juan for his attentive care and service. I recently dined at Shoryu Restaurant and unfortunately had an extremely unpleasant experience. My party and I ordered chicken skewers and chicken starters and a variety of food, which unfortunately led to severe food poisoning. Despite reaching out to the restaurant through email and attempting to contact them directly, we received no response and no action was taken to address the issue. This lack of response and accountability is deeply concerning, especially considering the severity of the situation. As a result of this incident, our weekend plans were completely ruined, causing significant inconvenience and discomfort. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the lack of care and responsibility shown by Shoryu Restaurant in handling this matter. I would strongly advise against dining at this establishment until they take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and well-being of their patrons

One of the best tonkatsu ramen I have tasted in London. The soup is delicious but not so salty. The pork belly is so soft and silky.

Very kind and polite and helpful staff. Food is fast-food level, sorry, but don't waste your money here. Mandatory service tax of 12.5%

Best ramen I have eaten in my life!!! The one with ground meat is excellent!!! Thank you for the service, very warm and fast!! I would definitely come back

Beautiful place for an afternoon or evening chilled time. The service is spectacular, beautiful, kind and heartwarming service. You feel like you are as comfortable as you can be at home. I highly recommend it.

Way too long a wait after ordering the food (40 minutes). They can't change any items or customise any items in the menu, so it's exceptionally slow. The manager is clueless and not worth talking to.

Great ramen of Hakata style with pork chashu. The noodle is super tasty. The egg is classic. The ingredients were fresh and the soup was classic. They serve plenty of good value side dishes like chashu rice and chicken kara-age. They have kids menu with good value. They serve half egg with the kids ramen. Edamame dish and ice cream is included in the kids menu. Asahi super dry draught beer is available. The staffs are pretty friendly.

In a very busy tourist area but the energy is fun. Service was a bit unfriendly but prompt. I’d say the ramen was 3.5 stars, my Dracula ramen was pretty good but the broth could have had a bit more flavor and my egg was very over done. Almost a hard-boiled egg vs. the lovely jammy yolk that you expect with ramen. My BF ended up with dry-style ramen which was not super clear on the menu and his lacked flavor and his pork belly was over cooked and cold (mine was not over cooked but also cold). We ended up putting some of my broth in his bowl and adding chili oil and crushed sesame seeds to his to get any sort of flavor profile on it. The seaweed salad and potstickers were good. Felt a bit over priced. TBH I get better ramen in Seattle which feels surprising.

Des prix exorbitants, un service impersonnel qui laisse l'impression de déranger, une attente interminable. Presque 10£ pour six takoyakis qui étaient décevants par rapport à ceux que j'avais déjà eu l'occasion de goûter dans d'autres restaurants. Je ne recommande pas cette chaîne.

I’ve got food poisoning from the ramen!! Still haven’t recovered yet. When the waitress brought me the ramen, the egg and pork was completely cold, i didn’t think anything about it, so just ate it. But after few hours the nightmare had started. 24hours of constant vomiting and painful diarrhoea. I will never eat at this place again!!!

The brothless pork ramen was a real highlight and very good if you enjoy noodles without them being too watery The salad was a very pleasant surprise and is often difficult to find in Asian restaurants so thumbs up 👍

Got the dry noodles - no soup Decent

Overall good, but we waited too long for ramen (~40min) and the noodles were too soft even though we got the "more thick ones". The signature Ramen was less tasty than the Chicken one but that is just our opinion.

Very good, especially the katsu chicken curry

Very welcoming staff, good typical dishes in a place to discover, Kingly Court.

Wouldn't make accommodations so I could eat with my family. On vacation with family, first time in London. Frustrated after several restaurants in area which had nothing for me to eat due to my allergy, I tried to bring in outside food so I could sit with my family who ordered ramen. I even ordered a cocktail and was willing to pay extra. Manager would not accommodate. I get the rules, but there should be a way to help out people who are having difficulty finding something to eat. Stick me in the corner or something. Maybe offer a salad or something for people with allergies.

Hands down my favourite Ramen spot in London. The quality is consistent, and consistently high. A delicious, filling, enjoyable meal, it’s hard to find value for money these days in London, but here we are. Keep it up guys!

Great comforting ramen, good value for money! We'll be back soon!

The ramen was very filling and the service was good. However, the bathroom was not very clean.

The ramen was very tasty. It was my first time here and thank to Emmanuel, our server who took the time and patience to explain us the full menu. I am a part of hospitality and it’s good to be pampered sometimes. I really liked the place and the ambience. But as I always say, the employees make the brand. Thanks to Stella and Emmanuel, who took care of us. Cheers.

Ordered a prawn and broccoli rice curry. The plate was plain rice with sauce plus 2 fried prawns and a small floret of broccoli =14 pounds. Incredibly expensive sparse plate of food.

We really enjoyed the ramen here. The environment is really nice in the court food and the service was good. We recommend to eat here :)

All ramen is mixed with vegetable broth that contains alcohol, according to the employee

Always love Shoryu ramen, and took my young family out for a meal (I have a 1 year old and 3 year old). Emmanuel was the member of staff that served us, and I must say he was exceptional - really attentive and ensured my family we had everything we needed, taking the time to talk us through menu items to make sure what we were ordering was appropriate. He was also just a lovely chap to speak with my family. I must also say that the food was a bit better compared to other shoryu locations for me. And the location is perfect if the weather is good - was very pleasant sitting outside in Kingly Court.

Nice place! Good Food! Usually gets busy even in weekdays. We had reserved a table for 7.30 and there was small queue outside already. Staff is friendly, but fast paced. Food was good, also has spicy versions of ramen! Definitely a visit

The ramen was excellent, but the service and atmosphere were not as great. We didn't feel very welcomed, and our table was a bit tight and uncomfortable.

The ramen was good but it took a long time to be prepared hence 1 star less. I would come back anytime, we sat outside in the terrace and it was particularly pleasant on a good day. You can order and pay directly from your phone.

I think they making a laugh about of the size of the drinks. Aperol s in the smalls glass for 12£ lol 🍸 Just get water ……………. …………. ……………………….. …………………………..

Great food, reasonable prices and a good atmosphere. They used to do NHS discount but this has stopped now.

Katsu ramen is good. Didnt like the meat. Sake mix, Kikizake is good also.

I really used to love this place. Been quite a few times but last time was about a year ago and the Katsu ramen has changed where the amount of chicken has almost halved. I just had 4 slices in this portion (you can't even see the chicken in this picture) but before it used to be a lot more. I was a bit surprised I did ask the waitress about it but she seemed a bit clueless and unhelpful unfortunately. A bit of a pity really. I'll probably still come here but will reduce my visits to once in a blue moon and won't recommend to others as much any more.

Usually come here once was a month because the food is excellent. Last time they removed a vegan ramen (my favorite) from the menu, but the manager Stella kindly helped me find an alternative which was full excellent. She was very helpful and patient and helped both my mother and I find another dish. Highly recommended and thanks again Stella!

Their signature ramen broth is umami! The service was great, quite patient with our 3y old

Excellent place to eat delicious ramen. The best in London. We will return without hesitation.

Any issues that there might be with slow service or long waits are quickly dismissed when the ramen finally arrives. Eaten at several of their locations and would happily again.

One of my favorite Ramen places in the Kingly Street food hub in Soho (Central London). Choice of Ramens , Sushi 🍣 , Katsu Curry 🍛 Rice besides Japanese Sake’s ,Umeshu & beers !! . Average Pricing for Ramen ranges £13~£15, Sake 100ml £10 , beers are £6 approx . Service is good , relaxed atmosphere ! . Love going back !

Tiki passion cocktail was very nice. Had the chicken ramen and it was good, would have been nicer if it came with an egg too.

I came here for dinner on a Tuesday evening. We were sat instantly inside without reserving a table. I would recommend booking if you want to sit outside in the nice courtyard. The service was quick and the waiters were friendly. The octopus balls and gyoza were amazing. The downfall was that every time a new costumer came they would hit the bong which got really annoying for costumers already sat in the restaurant. Also, I got the curry and it says it comes with tender broccoli which from the picture and the name you would assume its tender stem broccoli but it was regular undercooked broccoli and only one piece which was ridiculous!

Great ramen! Kitchen was open till 10pm

Miso tonkatsu was too thick, ginger taste was complicating. You are probably better off heading to ippudo

Ramen good quality, however service level not acceptable. Slow service, unresponsive waiter, forgotten food, mess with wrong food. You need to prepare for 1-1,5 hour for lunch.

This ramen is very delicious in the heart of London and the price is not crazy for where it is.

Great tasting Ramen and Takoyaki

Would give a 0 if possible. Horrible staff from the welcoming to the rest.....

My first time having ramen, and I'm really impressed. The service is great, Daria helped me choosing my first ramen and even suggested a great mocktail with it. It was spot on I loved the food I loved the drink, definitely coming back. Thank you Daria for the service and congratulations to the guys in the kitchen that provided the best first ramen experience I could have.👏👏👏 Psp: great prices aswell, important to mension

Fantastic place with great ramen, rich and flavorful broth. Peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I would really recommend tonkotsu ramen and for spice and seafood lovers kimchi seafood natural. If you're visiting Carnaby I would suggest popping in I promise you won't be disappointed Thank you for reading this review I appreciate it

It's a Japanese ramen place located inside Kingly Court. Book a day in advance at least if you want to get a table on your schedule. That goes for all of the restaurants in this 3-storey court. Ramen was good and the drinks were good as well. Service was good. Worth a visit.

Spectacular!!💯🔝 beastly ramen and reasonable price for London The amazing miso and chicken ramen

lovely! loved the cocktails and the staff were friendly and accomodating even on the busy saturday night

Had the “white natural” ramen and it was excellent, very rich and flavorful

Been here a few times now and it never fails to disappoint. The food is always exceptional and of a brilliant standard. The katsu curry is genuinely one of the best I have ever had and is very filling due to its large portion.

Used to be our favourite ramen place in town but got food poisoning in my last visit there 2 days ago. Ruined my Easter weekend and still not fully recovered at the time of writing.

The restaurant has a set menu of 1 Ramen, 2 coops of Ice cream and 1 cocktail priced at £24. This was exactly what I ordered but ended up spending £8 more. The waiter did not inform about the set menu and when we asked for a refund, the requested was rejected. And of course, we were still charged a service fee at 12.5%.

The restaurant environment is very good. The service is terrible. The noodle soup is not thick enough. The hardness of the noodles is not up to par. Overall, it's expensive and bad taste.

Nice little shop in the area with other restaurants. The signature ramen soup tasted a bit bland for me. Best find was the Wakame Seaweed and Green Leaf Salad….absolutely refreshing and simple.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating when I asked for dessert and candles for my friend’s birthday.

I've eaten at many restaurants but this particular Japanese restaurant made everything like a book. The dishes were amazing, the atmosphere was great and it's a place where I would go anytime. At first I thought the price was pretty high but after the dishes came, it was worth it. Price=Quality Thank you guys for providing us with amazing food and comfort. Love you!!

One of the best ramens in London, and personally one of the best vegetarian ramens outside of Asia. Shoryu never disappoints in any of their branches. This particular one can get extremely busy due to its location, if your looking for a quieter one there’s another shoryu right by Piccadilly circus that tends to have more space as the restaurant itself is larger. However it’s one of the only branch with outdoor seating, which is helpful for anyone with a dog since they are not dog friendly inside

We visit regularly and, on each occasion, really enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Friendly service as well.

I have tried different shoryu in the Uk, they are a famous Japanese ramen originated in Japan. However the branch in carnaby did not serve japanese quality ramen. Firstly, the broth. I ordered dracula ramen which is a black garlic flavour ramen. But it is not black, not authentic, and theres not enough flavour of the garlic. The tonkotsu broth is also very thin! I do aware they have option for richer broth, but it is not acceptable to serve an original broth so thin!! Theres not enough flavour. The egg was served half size, the disadvantage is that it is will easily further cooked the egg by the hot broth, so it is overcooked for part of the egg. The garlic chips should also be fried so it can release extra flavour from the caramelisation. The overall presentation does not look appetising as well. The cha siu is nice though, not thin, and flavour is good. One good thing is that the service is nice. Staff are friendly. I appreciate they will ask the hardness of noodles cause not every ramen restaurant in the UK are aware of this. Overall the quality of food need improvement.

I've been going to Shoryu for years and in particular the Kingly Court branch (though I've been to all of them, even Oxford). First time rating them though. Let's be honest, it's a five-star bowl of ramen. I've had a hell of a lot of ramen recently, some were also five-star, others fell short. Shoryu might still be the best. It's just more refined than all the others and the ingredients taste better. Everything in the bowl is assembled perfectly and with the right amounts. Also, all their sides are excellent, especially the buns. Service is always good and the atmosphere inside is always buzzing, not just at Kingly Court branch, though I dare say it's the best of them all. If I had one small criticism it's that prices always seem to go up and up, but then I've been going so long I remember what they used to be. It's a touch pricey but you get what you pay for. If you want quality then cough up.

Always the signature ramen and gyoza to order!! Fatty pork belly that melted in your mouth, I love it! Well kept with their standards in all the branches I've been to.

A great place for ramen! We had Spicy Goma Tan Tan and Kimchi Seafood Tonkotsu ramen. The staff were considerate enough to ask us about any possible allergies. The atmosphere is good, however the place gets crowded, therefore I would recommend everyone to make a reservation.

real good icl. i dont usually drink the broth but it ws so good i had to. luuuuv this place

Ramen was okay… not okay with that price tho, the noodles seemed overcooked for me.

No logic in the place, the managers are incompetent and cannot seat people in a logic way

Excellent food and OK atmosphere

Reliably delicious and authentic. Shame many of the seats are at the bar and not shielded from the draft coming from the door.

Tres Bon repas, tarifs selon conso mais restent abordables MAIS UNE ATTENTE INTERMINABLE AU FROID DE JANVIER sans qu’un serveur se donne la peine de sortir pour nous donner le temps d’attente dommage !

Bon petit restaurant parmis tous ceux autour. Un peu d'attente quand j'y suis allée mais super accueil et bonne ambiance, surtout à l'intérieur (les places à l'extérieur il y manque le décor et l'accueil à coup de tambour 🤣). Sinon la cuisine est bonne et les portions vraiment tres généreuses, on peut même dire trop . Voilà .

A really delightful ramen restaurant. The food and drinks are balanced perfectly and it makes a very satisfying meal. It can get quite busy so consider booking or calling in before hand to check table availability if you want to sit inside. I had the chicken karaage ramen which was amazingly delicious however the texture does get a little funny when the chicken sits in the broth too long (obviously). Their cocktails are really delicious so if it’s in your budget I do recommend getting one!

Un très bon japonais. Il y en a plusieurs dans Londres. Nous avons gouté les ramens et les bao bun qui étaient vraiment délicieux ! Par contre le service est déplorable en particulier la manageuse qui est détestable et peu serviable.

Easy-going ramen that maintains its quality and variety of options. The place is nice and the service is great, it reminded me of the authentic ramen places in Japan.

Really good place to get some good ramen. Happened upon them, and decided to give them a go. Would def come back. Got sat really quick, food came out fast and piping hot. Great service all around

Amazing place, food and service. I loved the Kotteri ramen! Stella and Daria served me, they have been both great. I definitely suggest to come eat here!

Good value ramen. Very welcoming service. The Bao buns were nice too. Very busy but the turnaround is quick. This was the second time we visited with no reservation and were seated within 15 mins.

I adore the aesthetic. The ramen is to die for. Hand pulled noodles. Great warm comfort food

Queues to get in, but don’t understand why. 2 options available, inside and outside. Avoid outside at all costs, far too busy and awful atmosphere. Inside looks fine and always seemed to have seats available, but service so bad that queue was always forming. Order with QR codes and then no interaction at all with staff. Totally devoid of service, hospitality or even basic personality and then they charge at 12.5% service charge for ignoring you. Service equivalent to a McDonalds of Burger King without the warmth. Food is fine - just fine at besy - really nothing special at all. Noodles felt cheap and the Signature ramen had 3 tiny pieces of meat - really felt like cost cutting and cheaping out on everything. I don’t know how else to say it but my recommendation is to absolutely avoid - there is nicer atmosphere elsewhere - there is better vaue elsewhere and there is definitely better food elsewhere. 100% do not recommend. AVOID.

Calidad precio de 10. Pasamos de casualidad, y nos gusto el menu. El ramen grande y a buen precio. De sabir buenisimo. Los takoyakis espectaculares!

In this branch, the food and the mocktail are prepped with a special touch. The staff will even ask how firm you want the noodles for the ramen. The ramen is heavenly!

Service was appallingly slow and inattentive. We were sat on a 'sharing' table. After the diners next to us left, their food was left sitting out for over 10 minutes. We had to alert the wait staff to clean it and to take our order. All in all seemed like an unhygienic practice. Food took over 30 minutes to arrive. Sadly the flavour did not compensate for the long wait. Tonkotsu does a much better Ramen and the experience is less dramatic too. You see people queining outside the door, yet half the tables in the restaurant were empty. Weird vibes all round.

Amazing Ramen, it reminds me when I was in Japan, highly recommended, I definitely will bring my friends to here again.

The court is quite nice to sit and take your supper, unless is very cold. The food was tasty but not something special who will make me choose this ramen place from other places who offer similar cuisine.

A decent Japanese ramen chain restaurant. The staff were helpful and friendly. We had the specialty “pork ramen”, fried chicken miso ramen and kimchi seafood ramen as well as tofu bao buns. The ramen noodles and soups were decent but the buns were a bit disappointing because the sauce and ingredients were plain. The beer and sake were nice.

Really disappointed with the service…incredibly slow!!!

It was wonderful !!! The restaurant is beautiful and cozy. The service was attentive and fast. The ramen was perfect. We ordered the house ramen and Miso's, they were as a real ramen should be. おいしい！

呢間拉麵連鎖品牌喺英國有好多分店，我揀咗倫敦SOHO區裏邊Kingly Court嘅分店，好想試一下著名嘅招牌日式豚骨湯拉麵 整個Kingly Court環境好靚，人流好旺，整體好有氣氛，Shoryu門口大排長龍，我哋由排隊到坐低等食物用咗40分鐘，所有服務員的態度很親切和友善，在英國算是不很常見，店內嘅裝修裝潢亦不錯 我哋嗌咗兩碗不同的拉麵，一碗招牌豚骨湯拉麵，一碗日式咖喱吉列雞扒拉麵，湯底的賣相和味道好濃郁，呢一點我非常重視，拉麵嘅口感都唔錯，用嘅似係上等靚拉麵，叉燒三小片好好食，可惜又薄又細塊，尺寸比擦子膠大少少，但就薄好多好多，有兩片紫菜同一片溏心蛋，無芽菜同無Baby粟米🌽 兩碗拉麵合共£30再另加12.5%服務費，埋單£33.52，我哋冇叫飲品同其他小食，為起港幣大概三百零蚊左右，嚟開倫敦消費習慣差唔多就係呢個價位 Shoryu、Wok to Walk和香港譚仔同屬日本東利多控股旗下嘅眾多品牌之一，食物質素方面有保證，味道有基本水準，唔需要擔心 值得一講嘅係我哋排隊用咗25分鐘，一直發現裏邊有好多座位冇人坐，但就唔放排隊嘅人入去坐，好多侍應都好清閑，一啲都唔忙，我哋嘅座位坐正廚房位門口，睇到廚房嗰兩位師傅亦都慢手慢腳慢慢做，搞好耐先搞到一碗出嚟，雖然店內顧客人數唔多，但係上菜速度好慢好慢 如果經常去日本食正宗拉麵的話，去到呢間拉麵店就唔會覺得似日式，雖然好努力扮日式，但真係一啲都唔似，如果食開香港油麻地橫綱拉麵，就會覺得呢度嘅價錢Double咗，食物質素打五折，服務同裝修再打五折，用雙倍價錢只能輕輕止下咳，咁都冇辦法，值唔值得幫襯好見仁見智，好難一概而論，咁多人排隊等位，其實佢啲生意真係做到做唔切 📍地址：5 Kingly St, Carnaby, London W1B 5PJ ⏰營業時間：11:30 - 23:00

Amazing ramen, the best pork belly I have tasted, highly recommended place, with fair prices

We ordered the Spicy goma tan tan ramen, which was delicious, but they were very stingy with the pak choi (it literally had one tiny sliver). Service was pretty bad. Servers were attentive and despite there being a long wait, there were many tables that were free outside but just hadn’t been cleaned. those tables outside were left dirty the entire time we were there so we sat amongst dirty dishes the entire time! They forgot part of our order until almost the end. Still the ramen itself was really tasty

BEST RAMEN EU!! Thank you to Karim, Daria, Siyoung, and Tiago for wonderful service. Ive heard that the Ramen (Ganso Tonkotsu) was made by Sandip and Sabnam (I'm really good at remembering names). It was so good.

Buen sitio para comer/cenar Ramen en Londres!!

Long queues but definitely worth the wait. The ramen broth was delicious, especially so on a cold winter’s night. Service was a little slow though. That’s the only complaint. But the food quality, service level and cosy eating environment more than makes up for it.

The vibes are hilarious with the crowds queueing. The food are good, specially the service by the friendly staff.

One of the best Raman in London . Rich pork broth , love there ramen noodle ,it’s so authoritative, texture same as Japan . With affordable and reasonable price

Fantastic service and great Ramen

Ristorante giapponese molto carino. Personale gentilissimo e attento, ambiente che unisce tradizionale e moderno. Abbiamo preso piatti di ramen, entrambi buoni e un bicchiere di sakè che ci é piaciuto tanto.

Very poor service. Got a takeaway soup and was told it would take 5mins. After waiting for 20mins in the freezing weather had to ask for it and the soup wasn't hot anymore. I've had to reheat it in the microwave. Also, zero napkins included.
