Tonkotsu

Tonkotsu is a ramen bar in Soho that opened in 2012, serving Japanese ramen close to Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square tube stations. It suits a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner or a late meal, and pulls in both locals and visitors.

The signature ramen is made from scratch, with a broth that takes up to 18 hours to get right. It comes thick and creamy, paired with thin, straight noodles and a choice of toppings. The room is casual but smart, and the focus stays on doing the Japanese cooking properly.
