  “Rob was an excellent waiter he recommended my dish and knew what I would like! Keshav made the most lovely ramen! He was very knowledgeable and bought me some additions as it was my first visit! 🍜 I really enjoyed my dish. The best ramen I’ve tasted! The queues are worth it although I went on a Wednesday afternoon and there was no queuing! Service was fast and welcoming. Very clean and authentic taste of Japan! The food came quickly. Very fresh, tasty and generous portions! A must try!”

  “This is a gem sitting in a row of shops, you have to look carefully to find it and when you find the experience is worth your effort. We were a party of 4, although seated on two separate tables, but close enough to communicate. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was really good, the brothless noodles were silky and delicious 😋 🤤. I left there knowing I didn't just eat any odd thing, but good quality, fresh food. We all rated it very highly, the prices were reasonable for such places. Having had Japanese food several times, this is way better than my experience in central London. They have a variety of Japanese drinks/ teas, with very limited fizzy, just ask for recommendations from the staff and the teas are actually very refreshing. The presentation of the food is very inviting and so was the flavour, ok I am going on too much about the food must show that I intend going back 😁”

  “Personally I like the raman with soup more than abura soba. The broth so rich in flavour and very delicious! Just need to be aware that the restaurant and table is small. You can only put your bags/ belongings on the floor.”

  “Absolutely delicious food and easily one of the best ramen spots I’ve visited. The vegan Tan Tan ramen is a must-try for anyone who enjoys this style of ramen. It’s rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Adding an egg takes it to another level and makes an already fantastic bowl even better. The noodles themselves are excellent, perfectly cooked and full of texture. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff were genuinely friendly, welcoming, calm, and always happy to help, creating a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, one of the best ramen experiences I’ve had. Great food, great service, and definitely a place I’ll be returning to.”

  “Great noodles and flavour. I ate alone and was in and out within 20 mins. The service is super friendly and rapid. I would've preferred bamboo to beansprouts and the egg should be included and not extra. I liked it though, would return.”

  “Great vibey place. Staff are very friendly! Got seated instantly during the working week at lunch time. Good music (alot of j-pop and anime ones). The food on point too! Would highly recommend! Very rich and tastey! It is a quite pricey bowl but very filling and still good for Old Street!”

  “I walk past this place regularly on the way home from work and there’s always a line outside so decided to check it out. We went on a Friday afternoon when it was little quieter. Friendly staff, ordered the traditional tonkotsu and a spicy versions of their Ramen. Really customisable, can choose the spice level and how aldente you want to have your noodles. Really tasty and creamy and perfect if you’re in the mood for ramen.”

  “Really delicious, authentic ramen. Had the Big Boy spicy tonkotsu and the toppings were so good, the broth had a really deep flavour and the noodles were fresh. We also tried the veggie abura soba which had so much flavour. Staff were very friendly. We arrived at about 5:30 and were seated straight away but it was starting to get busy when we left about an hour later.”

  “I had been to Mohomo a couple of times and since I had family visiting, I thought they would really enjoy it. You can’t book a table, so you’ll need to wait at the door; we waited around 30 minutes. The restaurant isn’t very large, so groups of more than 5 may find it difficult to sit together. That said, it feels very authentic, and despite the size, the atmosphere is great. If you’re dining alone or as a couple, you can usually sit at the bar, where you can watch the noodles being cooked and the dishes prepared. On a previous visit I tried their most popular dish, the Abura Soba, which I highly recommend. This time, we ordered the Taiwan Maze Soba with extra chashu (perfect if you enjoy soup‑less ramen), as well as the classic Shoyu Tonkotsu and the Mentaiko Cream Ramen. To drink, we had pints of Asahi and Coke. They also offer free tap water, which is always appreciated. All the food was excellent, particularly the Taiwan Maze Soba. Adding a bit of chilli oil really elevates it. It’s wonderfully creamy with the pouched egg, and ordering extra pork belly was definitely the right choice. I may even prefer it to the Abura Soba. As for the ramen with broth, the Shoyu Tonkotsu is rich and full of flavour. I’d recommend adding an extra boiled egg. The Mentaiko Cream Ramen has a slightly milder broth, with the mentaiko (spicy cod roe) giving it a distinctive, slightly fishy flavour. Everything was delicious, the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, and it’s a place I highly recommend. For me, without a doubt, it’s the best ramen in London.”
