The triad of London's ramen has arrived with many people debating which is the best of them - Bone Daddies, Tonkotsu or Shoryu. I greatly enjoyed Bone Daddies, with friends telling my Tonkotsu had better kara age but not as good ramen. There is no better reason to try it than to form a healthy debatable opinion.
- chicken karaage (horrible photo) - simple flavours, although I felt the chicken pieces had a bit too much fat layer;
- pork gyoza (horrible photo) - simple, juicy, nice;
- Tonkotsu ramen (rich, sea salt-based pork stock and thin noodles topped with slices of melt-in-the-mouth pork belly, half a seasoned soft-boiled egg, menma, bean sprouts and spring onions) - generous amount of beautiful fatty broth with excellent toppings;
- Mochi icecream (yuzu, salted caramel, black sesame) - chewy, cold interiors, sweet to finish.
I liked the Tonkotsu ramen better than Bone Daddies, but not the karaage. People will disagree.
Next time I would order Tonkotsu ramen again - no need to mess with the winning original and namesake formula. For a change, Tokyo ramen with lighter broth of chicken & pork with soy would be worth trying.
