If you know me well, you know that I have a lot of opinions on ramen. I justify it with the excuse that I partially grew up in Japan, but let’s face it I’m just a ramen snob. After various pop-ups, Shoryu officially opened its doors (finally). I went for their signature ramen dish, Shoryu Ganso Tonkatsu: thin slices of pork, veg, seaweed, soft boiled egg, and noodles swimming in a sea of pork broth. One of the hardest things to find is good noodles. These were actually spring-y, which was a major plus. The broth was nice and actually tasted as if they bothered to boil some pork bones for a day. Definitely give this place a try if you’re a ramen connoisseur. I have to admit that this is a bit on the pricier side (£10!). I’m hesitant to even pay $10 for ramen! But as we all know, Japanese cuisine is somehow always priced way above what it’s actually worth. But again, I’m probably just basing this on the fact that I could get a bowl of noodles for ¥700.
