Shack-Fuyu

Bone Daddies brought its rock and roll ramen to Old Compton Street in spring 2026, taking over the former Shack Fuyu site and turning it into the newest bar in the London group. The room seats around 80, with a mix of counter seats on the ground floor that puts you close to the kitchen, and the whole place runs on the energy of Tokyo backstreets turned up loud.

The menu is built around pork bone broth done properly. The Tonkotsu OG arrives with chashu pork belly, bamboo, beansprouts, burnt garlic and a half soy egg, and every month the kitchen drops a limited-edition ramen alongside the regulars. Bao, snacks and soft serve fill out the list, and the doors open at 10am for the Breakfast Ramen, a Cumberland sausage and Bloody Mary tomato bowl doused in HP tonkatsu sauce that has no real equivalent anywhere else in Soho.

Rock and roll ramen on Old Compton Street

Bone Daddies has been cooking ramen in London since 2012 and now runs 8 sites across the city, including a separate bar on Peter Street, so this branch gives the group 2 rooms within a few minutes of each other in Soho. The Old Compton Street bar is the bigger, newer statement of the two, pitched at the theatre crowds and late eaters the street never stops supplying.

How the visit works

Hours run 10am to 11pm Thursday to Saturday and 10am to 10pm Sunday to Wednesday, with bookings taken online and walk-ins welcome at the counter. It slots naturally into a night on the Soho restaurant circuit, and pairs well with a drink at Rupert Street Bar a few streets over once the bowls are cleared.
