Yamagoya in City of London, Westminster

My go-to place for a warm bowl of ramen after watching LeMiz. Situated in the West End, the place is strategic. The atmosphere is cozy and the food is tasty. Price is reasonable, too.

Fuimos a un almuerzo rápido con un colega, pero después de 30 minutos esperando nuestra comida, preguntamos en el mostrador si habían olvidado nuestro pedido; otras personas que vinieron mucho después de que nosotros ya habían recibido y terminado su comida. La señora que servía en el mostrador, un Dragón Chino con pocos modales, localizó nuestro boleto que se había olvidado de dar a la cocina y gruñó "a continuación, siéntate". ¡Sin disculpas, sin reconocimiento de nuestra inaceptable espera y ciertamente sin modales! Cuando finalmente llegó la comida, era muy pobre. El karaage de pollo era aceitoso y blando en lugar de frito hasta quedar crujiente, una señal reveladora de que el aceite no estaba a la temperatura y absorbía todo el aceite. El ramen era barato y desagradable con fideos congelados de baja calidad y coberturas inferiores a las premium. ¡La porción de pollo en mi ramen era tan pequeña que deberían llamarlo ramen de pollo en lugar de pollo! Patético personal, comida basura. Si la gente de Fukuoka, de donde dice ser este restaurante, visitara, ¡llorarían en sus cuencos de ramen! ¡Evitar! ! ! !

Compró yamagoya tonkotsu ramen, 9 obtienes un tazón de tonkotsu ramen con huevos. El caldo no es tan espeso como el de Kanadaya, pero aún sabe muy bien. Takana the mostaza deja encurtido tiene que comprarse por separado para 1, es más agradable en comparación con kanada ya que ha agregado chile demasiado picante a su encurtido de hojas de mostaza. Porción sabia, es enorme. Las rodajas de cerdo son agradables, es un poco más duro que kanada ya, pero me gusta. Lo mejor de todo, no hay cola en este restaurante. Opción más barata buen lugar de ramen, me gusta. Iré de nuevo.

Tuve el ramen Yamagoya, que era bueno, aunque nunca me impresionó teniendo en cuenta que era casi un diez por ciento. El chashu no fue quemado como otros platos de ramen. Dejado aquí queriendo mucho más de lo que ofrecían. Sospecho que la experiencia en Japón sería mucho mejor.

El caldo era bueno y eso es todo; Los fideos Ramen eran bastante malos y, en general, el ramen estaba mal ensamblado. Sin embargo, el precio es razonable para el ramen, así que creo que obtuve lo que pagué, pero si buscas ramen auténtico, entonces busca en otro lugar.

I was looking for a cheap easy lunch in Chinatown and found this Japanese place just round the corner. Quite a small menu with ramen or katsu curry. I had the chicken katsu and it wa so tasty and filling. Can't go wrong for £7, freshly cooked and served quickly.

Just in the corner is this Japanese ramen shop. Easy simple menu. That’s good not so much choice. I have the tobanjan ramen. Just spicy enough for me. Great broth! Fast service. A modern fast food restaurant.

Having traveled to Japan this was a find . fast service before theatre and no frillls legit ramen and Japanese curry . reasonably priced at 6-8 per dish . Our favorites.

This place is amazing and i will return ! Order at the counter from a simple clear menu - the tofu ramen was just under £9 and the chicken katsu £6.50. You get a buzzer which goes off when your food is ready and collect at the counter. The food was piping hot and very tasty. The katsu was nice and spicy, the chicken crispy. The ramen broth was very hot, tasty, 3 tofu slices, noodles, sweetcorn and spring onions. Not much in terms of fresh green veg but I throughly enjoyed this and such value for money to get a hot meal, seat in a restaurant and generous portion of food coming in at £15.40 for 2 meals in the middle of London. Plus friendly service.

Mediocre would be an undeserved compliment, thinking back at the 'ramen' I had there. This was proper bad. Noodles felt like undercooked pasta and the broth( a hugely important element of ramen) was bland and lacked any depth of flavour... the one redeaming element was the egg...that was ok and not completely over cooked. I really am at a loss here ,having had ramen in a few places now, in and out of Japan, this stands out as not only not feeling like ramen, but also not being a particularly tasty noodle and broth dish. One could forgive the lack of authenticity if the latter was at least... Never mind; this was a noce and once only event.

After living 7 years in Japan, including 3 in Fukuoka, when I saw this place saying that it was a restaurant chain featuring Fukuoka-style ramen, of course I had to try. I was ok with the prices; the karaage (fried chicken chunks) was very good. I had the Yamagoya ramen and it was excellent. Service was fast, friendly, and polite. I'd come back anytime. Location is nice, quite near lots of shopping too!

Un ramen mangé en vitesse, rien à dire 😊 Le boeuf cuit est tendre à souhait, il fond dans la bouche 🥰 Le serveur (Angelo) était très gentil! On a testé le « rain drop cake » qui a beau être très intriguant, il faut aimer! Les saveurs sont spéciales! 😄 Petit + : leurs thés maisons sont délicieux !

The restaurant is conveniently located on the outskirts of Chinatown so is easily accessible from both Leicester Square and Piccadilly Stations. Interior is simplistic but modern. Instead of having waiters to bring the food to your table, they use an electronic buzzer that vibrates when your food is ready and you go pick it up from the counter. I guess some people will find this strange but this way of doing things means you are not obligated to tip the staff. Places like Shoyu or Ippudo will charge 10-12% service charge but how much service do you actually need for a ramen shop? I feel this is this close to the way that they do things in Japan. NO restaurants charge service charge at all there, so the price you see if the price you pay. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and must say after trying a few of the competition I find that the saltiness of the soup is just right. I find most of the other ramen places are too salty for the average London palate. The soup was authentic, nice and thick from the pork bone marrow, and the noodles were nice and springy. Overall I would say this is as good as the big name competitors without all of the fuss. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186338-d11045318-r653347243-Yamagoya-London_England.html#

On the plus side the prices aren’t steep, less than a tenner for ramen in central london with a decent amount of toppings is good value. However you dont get a lot of ramen and the broth isn’t quite as rich as other ramen joints. Service is quick and no complaints regarding the staff. The place is just run of the mill, if your looking for some cheap quick bite to eat then by all means.

I’m not a big fan of Bone Daddies or Shoryi Ramen, but I will admit they are innovative and are tailored to the adventurous London diner, and they are very popular. However I expected Yamagoya to blow both of these out of the water, firstly being a Japanese brand and venturing to UK shores, and secondly having a prime location on Shaftesbury Avenue. Sadly, I was left disappointed by taste, ambience and value - a chance wasted! Decor was neat, tidy but sterile, although the music did improve the ambience - loud (but not too loud) jpop playing in the background. There was definitely a lack of seating and the layout wasted a lot of space, something the manager should be able to fix in a weekend. The food was a mixture of ok foods - worth mentioning the pork ramen (a nicely flavoured soup with very few toppings) and the sliced pork on rice - and the disastrous, including badly cooked gyozas and karaage, plus the blandest attempt at a beef ramen. All of these come at central London prices, which when combined with the poor cooking and measly portions, means I won’t be coming again for a long time - unless they have a special offer going!! I’d like to try the new Coco Curry House - I want to believe a Japanese chain can succeed over here!

It was very nice ramen place. The service was fast, the prices for Soho are kind of average, the taste of the food was surprisingly tasty as well. Can't complain at all. I ordered a tofu ramen, it was very nice :))

I ordered a Pork Katsu with Curry Sauce. The curry was far too spicy or I am weak, The price for the food is alright. There was not a lot of choice for drink and it is overpriced.

If you are looking for a quick, good ramen; this is a place to go to in the heart of London. If you are very hungry, order a ramen with a side dish and you will be very satisfied.

The restaurant occupies the ground floor of Shuang Shuang. My husband and I saw the katsu curry on the menu stuck on the glass window and decided to give it a try. It was good value for £6.50. The chicken katsu was crispy and the...
