Tasty authentic food. Friendly, efficient staff. Just what we were after. Lovely flavours and some of the condiments you can buy .

Sono stato con mio figlio e abbiamo mangiato per la prima volta il Ramen … lui di carne (buono) io di pollo (ottimo). A seguire ravioli di carne e di gambero … consiglio di provarli. Ottima esperienza.

Possibly the most inedible meal I have ever had anywhere in London. Firstly it took the waitress half an hour to come and take our order despite attempts to get her attention before. The drinks then took a further 15 minutes to come. I had a chilli Chicken Ramen which was absolutely tasteless and I couldn't stomach more than a mouthful. The other dishes too were absolutely filthy. Sorry, but no other words can describe what was dished up. One clear soup was little more than dishwater. Will not be returning!

Firstly, the food is so good. It tastes delicious, has generous portions and comes quickly. I was also able to ask for my ramen without certain ingredients which I was super grateful for. It has a nice atmosphere and the staff were attentive, when we asked for the air con to be turned down they did so straight away. Decently priced and a great place to eat when visiting Battersea.

When we arrived we had to queue for like 15 min because it was full but one of the very nice waiters brought us hot tea while we were waiting. The place is cozy and we had a nice meal, we had the kimchi, the gyosa and the chicken wings as appetizers and we had the ramen as a main. The total was around £33 with the wine...in my opinion a very good price! Andrea provided us with an astounding service and we can say we will happily go back

This spot is great for an informal, intimate meal out. Fuss free food and service, served with a smile. Food is superb and delivered promptly. the restaurant is small but there is outside seating which would be nice in summer as in the newly built area around Battersea Power Station. Good value for money. Just what we needed!

We love this place, we come very often to eat delicious and tasty ramen. The service is really quick, last time it took less than 3 mins to arrive! Also, prices are affordable. So, it’s definitely worth a visit.

The service is too slow. I ordered a ramen, which can be considered as fast food, but it took more than 20 mins to arrive. By time it arrived, it was cold. Broth to taste good, it has to be really hot. I had to ask for water 3 times. The place is not so big. I don’t understand how the service was that slow. Many options to consider close by, pick one of them instead.

It’s took 53 minutes for the ramen to arrive. Considering stock is pre-made, it’s hard to fathom what took so long. I had the vegan tofu chilli ramen which honestly was packed with flavour. The noodles had a little more bite than I like so I did have to leave them to soak a little longer. Outside seating is dog friendly, but they don’t even have a water bowl - it was 26 degrees!

We went for dinner after work on a Tuesday evening as a group of 5. The restaurant is very tiny. We ordered spicy margaritas which took ages to come, we had to chase up and the staff were not apologetic about the delay. We ordered chicken and vegetarian Katsu dishes which again came at different times and the Katsu sauce was completely cold. We were never asked if our meals were ok and when we finally flagged someone down to order more drinks they arrived when we had finished eating. Rice was stodgy so generally food was not nice and whilst the margaritas were nice they were very small and took forever to arrive. Would not go back!

It amazes me how one can mess up with ramen but this is the worst I have ever had. The chunks of meat were simply solely fat, which I had to remove; they were inedible. The stock was very oily but this was not as noticeable as it was with the gyoza, which was soaking, dripping in oil!!! The tables were too close to each other and the place is too small, trying to fit in as many customers as possible. Not any of us were happy with any of the food we ordered and this is such a pity as we would have expected something far better of a new mall and of the area.

We were walking around the area and stumbled across this place. They were very quick to sit us (2) down inside as requested, The place was busy but they shuffled a table slightly to make room. Service was very quick, order was taken and asked about allergies, then a second person came to take more details about the allergies. She then explained our order will take just a bit longer to ensure no cross contamination. It was not a bad wait at all. Drinks prices were very reasonable, cans of coke etc were £2.50 not bad for London, The fresh lemonade was £3. The food was really good. Chopsticks were on the table when we sat down, cutlery was offered. The staff were very attentive and checked on us a few times. rare in these days. The service charge/tip was automatically added at 12.5%, it was stated on the bill so you could add/delete if desired. Would I go again, definitely. My chicken/noodle dish had a nice spicy flavor. Service good, staff very nice, price very good for London especially outside a major tourist attraction.. I saw families, young couples and even clientele with dogs (sitting outside)

Stumbled across this place whilst at Battersea power station lights festival. We were luckily as when we arrived, there weren't a queue as it was still relatively early.

Terrible service. I approached the restaurant and wasn’t greeted by anyone so promptly sat down and had a look at a nearby menu. After a short while a waitress came over and told me “you can’t sit there, it’s reserved”. Doesn’t offer me an alternative unprovoked so I asked “where can I sit then?”. She gestures over to a much more boring area. So I sit down there again and grab a menu from the other side of the bar. Still not receiving any type of service. Eventually I ask another waitress “can I get served please?”. She said yes in a minute. Original waitress comes over and says “so are you ready to order?”. There’s no hint of hospitality in her demeanour. I ask “what’s the deal with the Happy Hour?” On the menu it states “Happy Hour, Thurs-Sun until 8pm”. She says “2-4-1 but we’re not doing that.” No apology no explanation no hospitality no service. After that I decided to give up on the whole thing and left. Very disappointing as it had dishes I wanted to try.

Food used to be great at Kokoro Putney but something changed a while ago and warm dishes are way too spicy. Especially the sweet chilly chicken used to be one of the best dishes but now is so spicy that is barely edible. It is not sweet chilly anymore but rather just chilly. We hoped it was a one off thing but food quality seems to have dropped.

The prices may seem appealing, but the portion sizes are disappointingly small. Each serving only comes with four pieces and the sushi itself is mostly rice, very little fish. While the sushi tastes somewhat fresh, the quality is lacking. The pieces of fish are uneven, super small, and tend to fall apart. Overall, the value for money isn’t there, as the portions are tiny and the quality of the sushi doesn’t justify even the lower price point.
