Yummmmm!! I had 0 expectations when coming here. It was cold in London and this sounded perfect. My husband and I both ordered the truffle ramen and it did not disappoint. It was full of flavor but not overwhelming. The service was fine. They brought us our food promptly. The restaurant mimicked the small feel of Japan styled restaurants. It was really cute. The only thing that might need work is their restrooms. Highly recommend this place for ramen.

Small restaurant..came here early to avoid the lines during dinner time. We got the popcorn chicken appetizer. The chicken was crunch and juicy. The ramen broth was super flavorful. I wish the ramen noodles were thicker. They were cooked to perfect firmness but just too thin for my liking. I ordered the curry katsu. I was happy to see that they had the curry on the side so i can add as much as i wanted. The curry has a slight kick to it but super yummy. Overall the food was great and i would come again.

British food is not good and quite bland so I just decided to stick to my roots and eat something that actually tastes good, ramen lol. The service at Kanada ya was great. I was helped imm distraught and the ramen I got was delicious. Broth was not too fatty and oily which was great, and they let you choose how cooked you want the noodle, which was helpful! I also liked that they offered one complimentary topping. I also got their gyoza which was pretty good. I really liked this place and was perfect for a rainy miserable day in London.

For being so close to a high traffic tourist spot, their ramen hit the spot on a cold, rainy night.

Pros: 
* authentic broth 
* fun spot with tight seating 
* truffle ramen... need I want anything else 
* drink selection is yummy especially when you miss that you just ordered sparkling sake instead of sparkling soda 

Could be better:
* food temp: ramen was on the verge of being cold while the kaarage was pipping hot. 
* gyoza needed to be burned a little on the bottom 

Appreciated the authenticity of this place. Food was comforting and taste was on point. Glad we came here instead of the touristy place across the street.

Wanted to give ramen a try in London so we fancied giving Kanada-ya a try. Tables are limited at Piccadilly as it is a small restaurant. 

Rec: 
Gekikara- this is a spicy tan tan (minced pork) ramen. I surprisingly enjoyed this ramen more than I expected as the spice was not overkill and you could still enjoy the taste of the pork-chicken broth. I loved how there were a lot of bean sprouts and wood ear mushrooms giving the dish a nice complimentary crunchy texture. Chashu came in interestingly long thin strips but had a good balance of meat to fat. 

Skip:
Hanjuku boiled egg- found it rather bitter and way too salty. Over steeped in their proprietary sauce.

Last time we came to Kanada Ya was 3 years ago. The ramen is just as good as we remembered and worth the 30-40min wait. Surprised there was a wait even at 2PM! In looking at old photos, the quantity seems to have diminished (both for noodles and broth), but at least the taste is consistently good!

Yummy ramen with no frills or gimmicks.  Party of four throughly enjoyed your ramen on a cold and rainy day.  It was hot and tasty.  Everything was perfect.  Thank you!

The food and sake was amazing. 

Truffle edamame is a must have. Truffle ramen is delicious. There's a theme.. anything with truffles is delicious. The ramen noodle is fresh and not the top ramen kind of ramen. Kids loved it. Husband ordered the tonkansu X which was delicious, but he liked my truffle ramen better. 

We would definitely come by. Kids approved. 

They don't have desserts at this location, but you may be stuffed from the edamame and ramen. Service was ok. Hostess was very nice. It took awhile for anyone to noticed us but the food made up for it.

Very good Ramen spot, maybe not the best in London but at least in my Top 3.

I had a Spicy Yuzu Ramen with all the toppings and extra Hanjuku egg that was really good. The broth was tasty and mildly spicy so that it could be easily enjoyed. Noodles were also good and just enough to go with the generous amount of good toppings.

Service is very good: friendly, quick and efficient.

The broth was thick, slightly gloopy, and had a strong flavour, all hallmarks of authentic Japanese ramen. The Hanjuku egg was prepared and marinated perfectly as the gooey yolk oozes into the broth. The noodle itself requires more work as it has got a bite to it and would be greatly improved if it were prepared in the broth for a little longer. This allows for the noodle to become softer and one with the soup, allowing the aroma of the broth to simmer into the noodle. The pork belly was thinly sliced to bite size. The fat was not overpowering or greasy but the lean was slightly over salted on its own. However, when complemented with some broth, the flavour paired perfectly. The staff were very friendly, speedy, and diligent in attending to the customers' needs.
