This place gets busy early and it is a tight squeeze. There's been lots of talk about the various ramen noodle bars across London and in fact we only went to this one as Koya had loads of people queuing up outside.

We had the soft-shell crab starter as that was very good as was the salt and sansho pepper squid.

Then we had Soho Ramen which was topped off with a piece of smoked haddock and black roe. £11 - having grown up with noodles paying that much doesn't sit quite right as I could go into Chinatown and get a bowl of noodles with duck for less.
