At Tonkotsu, the star of the show is undoubtedly the ramen. The menu features a variety of options, but two standout dishes truly capture the essence of this establishment. First, the Chili Tofu Ramen is a must-try for vegetarians and vegans alike. This dish boasts a rich, flavorful vegan broth that perfectly complements the crispy yet tender tofu, creating a delightful contrast in textures.

I spent the end of my London trip with a cousin that lives in Battersea. As it was getting a bit chillier and got an urge to diversify the food palette, I started craving more Asian food, especially Ramen. 

Located in the nice, new, and airy Battersea, this location isn't necessarily large, but has a nice outdoor patio that makes it perfect for a spring/summer/fall dinner with friends/family. Since vegetarian ramen isn't always prevalent in the US, I was delighted to find the chili tofu ramen available.

As it was dinner, I settled for the large size and was surprised by the quantity I received. The vegan broth was quite tasty and the tofu was soft in the inside, but seasoned and crispy on the exterior. It was a perfect combination. The only regret was not finishing it all.

Perhaps ramen aficionados may disagree that this is a great spot for ramen, but I think it does the job if you are in the area and don't want to go to Wagamama. I'd recommend for sure!

Has the capacity to make 20 bowls of ramen an hour, but has seating for 50 people. Prepare to wait a long time when busy. 
Tries to offer multiple broths, all of which are poor. A ramen shop of this size should specialise. 
Soup was weak and barely covered the noodles. Pork has little taste. Hope you like salt, that's the only thing you'll taste here.

Having been to another location, I was excited to try this new spot. Coming during the seafood festival we were happy to get an outdoor seat and dive into the large menu.

The special was Clam Ramen but the waiter didn't do a good job of selling it with only clams and green onions at £15, the highest priced bowl, I went for the Seafood Ramen option instead.

My dish came with lots of toppings, a bit too much wakame, half an egg, bamboo shoots, half a soft shell crab, crab meat filling and tiny fried prawns. Toppings were good except the crab meat was quite fishy so I skipped most of it and what was advertised as prawn tempura was misleading. They were tiny prawns rather than the long prawn tempura you normally get.

My friend remarked that their noodles did not taste freshly made, as their menu stated. It lacks the normal egg yolk taste and was slightly bland. The broth was lighter but served the seafood well.

Service was okay, thankfully we had other servers after our first. Hopefully with a bit more improvement this location can grow into a good spot for ramen in this area.

Not the worst not the best.  The broth is very simple a little flavorless.  Not a bad spot to sit very small but a nice restueant
