A laid-back atmosphere, primed for celebrations, is a key criteria when hunting for a Christmas party venue in Soho. At Maki & Ramen, the atmosphere is perfectly suited to Christmas parties, thanks to its no-frills approach to traditional Japanese cooking and a variety of spaces that can cater to all groups, whether you’re looking for a standing party venue or a sit-down festive dinner.
You’ll find it on Old Compton Street, so it’s perfectly positioned for central London crowds. Smaller Christmas party groups will feel right at home at Maki & Ramen’s VIP Area; here, you can seat up to 20 guests, or host a standing celebration with up to 30. Have a larger group in tow? Look to the Japanese Garden for 50-person dinners, or standing events with up to 70. Alternatively, for those with something bigger in mind, you can hire out the entire venue to accommodate 150 guests seated or standing.
The team here are prepped to offer all-inclusive Christmas packages and set menus, but to give a hint as to what to expect, you’ll find rich ramen broths, plenty of sushi rolls, and a good selection of shareable starters. The classic tonkotsu ramen is a signature. Simmered for eight hours to guarantee silkiness and rich flavour, it’s then topped with chashu pork, spring onion, bamboo, wakame and boiled egg.
As for sushi, you’ll find sushi rolls that stretch from green dragon with tempura prawn and classic tiger rolls to California rolls and spicy tuna. To finish? Expect mochi ice cream like chocolate fudge, mango and passionfruit, and strawberry cheesecake. Plus, seeing as the menu offers a wide range of halal options as well as vegetarian and vegan plates, the team can accommodate nearly all restrictions.
