Square Meal Review of Shoryu Ramen 
This new recruit to London’s ramen scene is run by the kooky Japan Centre over the road, and ups the authenticity with a chef recruited from Hakata – the district of Fukuoka synonymous with these soupy bowls of wheat noodles. Sixteen varieties are on offer, all spins on the basic theme of a rich, meaty broth festooned with pork, egg, beansprouts, nori and more besides; it’s warming, nourishing stuff, if a little bland – opt for the garlic-heavy ‘Dracula’ version for the biggest wallop of flavour. Side orders of pork dumplings and soft-shell crab are decent enough, prices are reasonable in the extreme, and the drinks list touts everything from saké and shochu to peppy cocktails and curious green-tea creations. There are queues at busy times and a drum is banged as you’re taken to your table, but no pressure once you’ve finished.

Musings from the girl next shore :: Shoryu Pop-Up: where third ramen
My diet last month involved a lot of noodles, broth and ramen (blame the weather!). I was ready to punch my meals with a bit of variety but I seriously couldn't forego Shoryu's Pop-Up restaurant in Soho. (Also, as they have 14 types of ramen on the menu, I'm sure it's not the last visit either.)...

Musings from the girl next shore :: Shoryu, Take 2: where I thought love could be better the second time around
Some people say love is better the second time around. I loved my first experience at Shoryu so much I was cocksure the second time would be nothing short of amazing. I mean. How can you not love a ramen bar with super cute - and proper - tea pots?...

London Piggy :: Shoryu – Tasty ramen without the fuss
I went to Bone Daddies a few weeks ago and although their ramen was good, I knew the queue would be ridiculous. Instead, we headed to Shoryu, hoping that we wouldn’t have to stand around outside in the rain. I’m pleased to say that our lucky streak continued as we arrived just in time to bag the the last empty table. When we sat down, we noticed that 95% of the customers were Asian, which can only be a good sign. We were handed menus and set out to decipher all the different ramen dishes. There is certainly a lot of variety!...

YUMMEI :: Shoryu - St. James - London
Shoryu is brought to you by the same people who run the Japan Centre. But Shoryu is in a league of it's own. It specialises in Hakata Tonkotsu ramen noodles, and their head chef is born and raised from the Hakata district in Japan. It's so authentic it hurts...

Musings from the girl next shore :: Shoryu: where ramen (finally) arrived with a bang
Well folks, the ramen bandwagon has finally pulled up in town and there's been a few recommended places to try. After reading reviews (and considering its proximity to Japan Centre), we picked Shoryu near Piccadilly Circus. It's a Japanese ramen bar, the first of its kind in town, and there's been so much rave about their Hakata tonkotsu broth...

TwelvePointFivePercent :: Shoryu Ramen
've lost count of the number of places I've walked into recently - shops being by far the worst offenders, but a fair number of restaurants and offices too - where no-one's said "Hello!" or otherwise acknowledged my presence. So the cheery, traditional, "Irasshaimase!" from the staff and beating of a drum on entering Shoryu, London's latest ramen joint on Lower Regent Street, endeared me to the place before even a mouthful of food passed my lips. But oh, the food...it's wonderful. Just brilliant. So much so, in fact, that after an impressive first visit I returned twice in the space of a week. The room's nothing special - tightly-packed, functional (trans: hard) seating; bright lights, an apparently Spirographed mural - and the Lower Regent Street location, horrible, but these are minor considerations next to the combined allure of the warmth of welcome and the sheer quality of the ramen...

[FEAST to the world] :: Another Day, Another Ramen - Shoryu Ramen, SW1
As a fan of ramen, I thought after my recent discovery of ramen heaven at Bone Daddies, my quest of searching for the perfect Tonkotsu would have come to an imminent end. Like in a fairytale, I have found my happy ending. Alas! Not so fast! Nope! It was sweet but little did I know that after years of being marooned in the ramen wilderness, millions of Londoners out there being robbed of the comfort of being able to enjoy a slurpingly-good bowl of hot, rich umami, ramen has officially gone stonkingly trendy. And when that happens, you expect to trip over more ramen-ya that you can shake a stick at. Even Yo Sushi has jumped on the bandwagon and gone ramen-mad! Shock Horror! (Disclaimer: I have not try their ramen and I cannot foresee myself doing so anytime soon)...

London Chow | Where to eat in London :: Shoryu Ramen London Japan Centre - a bit off the mark
Japan Centre, which is doing a roaring business along Regent Street, is rather slow to jump onto the ramen bandwagon in setting up a ramen joint in London's West End. But unlike the rest sitting prettily at Soho (Ittenbari, Bone Daddies and Tonkotsu), Shoryu Ramen is located along Regent Street, a short walk away from The Mall. Almost directly facing Japan Centre, Shoryu Ramen is a considerably smaller setup compared to its peers. In fact, with its small round and square tables oddly mixed together, it can very well be another high street cafe...

Culinary Creep :: Shoryu Ramen, Lower Regent St
Home Last of the ramen openings for the year is Shoryu. I’ll keep this one brief – like most of my posts of late, I visited shamefully awhile ago and from following them on Twitter I know that they’ve made a few changes to their ramen. Home Last of the ramen openings for the year is Shoryu. I’ll keep this one brief – like most of my posts of late, I visited shamefully awhile ago and from following them on Twitter I know that they’ve made a few changes to their ramen. IMGP4343 Even my telling menu photo shows the soft-opening 50% off prices. Simple condiment selection on the tables. The ramen itself? A big bowl of comfort. The milky, creamy broth was easily the best of all the ramen I have been luck to taste of late. Pork slices firmer than I’d like, however I believe there are plans to correct this. Mushrooms were nice addition...

The F- World :: Best ramen in London? “Chew off” Part 2: Shoryu Ramen
Ramen is back on the F- World! First in line for the title of “best ramen in London” (a widely subjective title, I know, ever more elusive than “most authentic”) have been Bone Daddies and Tonkotsu, it’s now time for my impressions on Shoryu Ramen, and hopefully in a few more posts on an “old” contender in the London noodle scene, Marilebone tonkotsu-serving Japanese restaurant Cocoro. For the sake of comparison, I’ll follow the same structure as the review of other ramen places: ambiance, food and service. I have been to Shoryu three times in two weeks so far (true #ramenanonymous style) and have tried most of the menu (hard, hard work but I love my readers) so I think I got a good sense of the offering...
