Tonkotsu Soho, nestled in the heart of London at 63 Dean St, has garnered rave reviews for its authentic and flavorful Japanese cuisine. Patrons are particularly enamored with the Spicy Chicken dish, celebrated for its rich flavor depth and perfectly textured ramen noodles. One customer noted that it overshadowed the Tantanmen, which lacked a robust sesame taste but still delivered solid flavors. The dining experience is enhanced by attentive, friendly service. Diners appreciate being seated promptly and attended to by polite staff. The chili oil, while milder than expected, complements the crispy chicken karaage and savory gyoza, both of which have received high praise. For those looking for plant-based options, the vegan Chili Tofu ramen and delightful shiitake gyoza have proven to be comforting and flavor-packed. Overall, Tonkotsu Soho stands out not just for its exquisite noodle dishes but also for its inviting atmosphere and exemplary customer service. Many reviewers express a desire to return, making it a top contender among ramen establishments in Central London. This combination of exquisite flavors, quick service, and a welcoming environment truly marks Tonkotsu Soho as a must-visit for any ramen lover.

Spicy chicken is really good it has the flavour depth and ramen noodles texture is really nice.tantanmen is good too but it did not have the rich flavor of the spicy chicken the mince meat was just ok and the soup based was not heavy on sesame flavor (the one in the photo) I liked the kimci as a side but not a fan of brocolli. One of the best ramen shops in central london imo. But if you go there have the spicy chicken

Service is top notch. We were seated right away and attended to by very polite and friendly staff. The chili oil was surprisingly very mild, though but we loved the chicken karaage and gyoza. Definitely worth another visit.

This restaurant had such a great feeling once I entered it. The waiter just politely asked me to wait for being seated and then he led us to our table. The service was so fast, we didn’t need to wait for long after we order. The noodle was brilliant, loved it. Very tasty chili chicken and tonkotsu ramen. I just can only recommend this place.

I visited Tonkotsu and ordered the 10 lunchtime deal. I tried the shiitake and bamboo gyoza and the vegan Chili tofu ramen. They were both warm, comforting and flavourful. The portion sizes are great value for money. The food arrived quickly and my server was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back.

Dined in. Literally so delicious and vegan! Got the summer ramen (no broth) regular bowl with chili tofu (extra). Trust me vegans! The regular is so amazing. Imagine the bigger size! I can’t imagine how delicious this dish would be on a hot, summer day. Also, wonderful staff.
