Quick info
About Uzumaki London
On Great Russell St, Uzumaki London serves ramen and Japanese sides in a room where the walls and even the toilets carry anime murals featuring characters from series like One Piece and Demon Slayer. Naruto Ramen appears on the menu in a rich broth, alongside takoyaki served on a small bamboo tray, and vegetarian and halal ramen options are available. Tables come with seasoning and spice stations for adjusting each dish. Bubble tea and themed drinks such as the Will of Fire mocktail and Tsunade's Slipper cocktail round out the menu, served in character-branded cups. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. Near the entrance, a small shop sells merchandise, including sets of the utensils used during the meal, giving diners something to take home beyond the food itself.

Customer Review Summary
Ramen anchors the praise here, with the tonkotsu broth and Naruto ramen singled out repeatedly, alongside the shiitake miso version one diner found not to their taste. Close behind, the anime-themed decor and murals draw consistent attention, and named drinks like the elderflower awakening, the Will of Fire mocktail, and a green sake cocktail served for photos come up often, alongside takoyaki and chicken gyoza. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, with several mentioning quick greetings and a birthday gift and lollipop for one guest. A recurring caveat is that the food itself is judged average against the atmosphere, with a few describing dishes and bubble tea as bland or only lukewarm despite the higher price point. One reviewer also notes booking ahead but still finding tables free on arrival. The experience closes most memorably on small touches, a birthday surprise gift, table-side seasoning stations, and a merch shop by the exit where diners can buy the utensils used during their meal.

“I went here with my friends for my birthday on Wednesday. The tonkotsu broth ramen with chicken slices was amazing. Loved it. We also tried the shittake miso ramen, but that was not for me. 🙊 The tempura prawn was tasty as well. Great service, friendly staff.”

“Came here for my birthday, it was amazing. As someone who has loved anime, especialy Naruto for a long time, this was amazing. The artwork was some of the best I have ever seen, staff was nice and food was pretty good. I loved the Will of Fire (from Naruto) mocktail and the takoyaki octopus balls. They even gave me a gift and a lollipop as a present for my birthday!”

“Incredible. As soon as we entered we were greeted and not just by the staff up front. Every staff member we passed welcomed us. The food was delicious and was served very quickly. There are vegetarian and Halal options as well. I got the elderflower awakening drink which was so yum, and my sister had the Uzumaki milk tea which came in a really cool cup. The decor had so much to offer even for me who has not watched a lot of anime. We booked in advance for 5.00pm but there were quite a few free tables. I’ve already recommended it to my friends and hope to return.”

“Stunning atmosphere and great service, but the food is average. We stopped by Uzumaki London for lunch before heading to the Museum of Illusions. It’s very convenient, just a short walk from Tottenham Court Road station. The atmosphere here is amazing! The anime murals and neon signs look stunning, and they even have a nice gift shop. More importantly, the staff were incredibly sweet and patient with my little girl, which made us feel very welcome. However, while the environment is a 10/10, the food is just average. We tried the Naruto Ramen and Halal Naruto Ramen—they were okay but nothing special. The Takoyaki looked great on its little bamboo tray, and the bubble milk tea was decent. The highlight was the green Sake cocktail ("Tsunade's Slipper") with the "赌" print on top, which was very cool for photos! The total bill was £95.12 for two ramens, two sides, and two drinks (including service charge). You are mainly paying for the fantastic vibes and great service, so just keep your expectations realistic regarding the food.”

“Where to start, this place was amazing !! From the second you arrive it’s like your transported away from the busy chaos of london, the staff were so friendly and happily welcomed us showing us to our table. When we walked into the table area i will admit i was amazed the beautiful artwork all over the walls was such an amazing thing to see, Even in the toilets there was beautiful artwork, all art featuring characters from popular anime’s like One piece, Demon slayer and so much more!! The atmosphere was incredible, the second anyone walked in a smile was on their face, all the staff was so friendly and helpful, always checking up to make sure everything was okay. Now the best part, the food and drinks. Honeslty the most amazing range of food and drinks some of which are inspired by certain anime’s, The drinks were full of creativity and so spectacular to see. The food Was made with love , from the smell , the look and the taste all was beautiful. I had the ramen, which has a silky broth perfectly paired with meat and garnishes. The added bonus was the option of additional oils and spices available on your table too. We ordered some other dishes too and all were amazing. Best ramen i’ve ever had, Filling but the silky broth makes you want to eat more!! We also had desert and the Dango is highly underrated, such beautiful flavour and textures combined with the taro sauce was perfect!! The best part the little merch shop at the entrance/exit , where you can buy a sets of the utensils you used during the dine, for relatively cheap as well. Just further adding on the experience making it one you won’t be forgetting any time soon!! Whether your with friends or family or alone, definitely go, the staff and the atmosphere make it all worth while !!! Thankyou so much to the all the lovely staff you guys truly made it the best experience !!”
