Sophie's Soho in City of London, Westminster

Amazing team of Sir James and food aswell!

One of the best ramen I've ever eaten! Very attentive staff and helpful to those with food intolerances

This was the nicest meal I’ve ever eaten, also the service is good.

We had a wonderful Ramen yesterday evening and the service was perfect.

Lovely dine in with the most helpful and kind staff. Cheers for the great service

Service was good, the food came fast. The ramen was delicious. One of the toilet cells wasn’t working which was annoying and caused a line.

Beware of the 12.5% "optional" forced service fee. The waiter did not ask anything and just added it to my total bill, which I realised once I had already paid (and made me go over my company allowance). Otherwise the food was alright (I had gyozas - too salty - and shrimps tempura - good) was nothing special and the red Merlot was excellent. A real shame for the appalling practice from the waiter.

Wow. We really ate the best ramen ever here.

Acceptable ramen but indecent staff..I asked several times the difference between different ramens and they never answered me. I asked if I could have a slice of lemon since the natural water they brought us had a bad taste (it was from the sink) but they told me they had run out of lemon... but they brought it to the table next to mine. I will never go back again

Optimal We had the grilled ravioli and a ramen each. Everything is truly delicious. Must try. Good prices for London average. We spent £49 on two ramen, a 6 portion of ravioli and a water. I recommend booking on thefork otherwise there is a short wait.

Really bad service. I ordered with a waiter. They kept me waiting for more than 20 minutes and said that they didn’t put my order into the system. I have stayed in London for more than one year and this is the first time this thing happened to me again. They even didn’t apologize for that. I feel that I wasn’t respected. Won’t come here anymore

Ordered the vegetarian ramen. You can choose the firmness of the ramen. There are sesame seeds that you can grind onto your ramen, as well as spicy sesame oil and fresh garlic. Broth was ok. Tofu was not marinated, soft (except the skin). Overall good experience. Price was ok too.

Good Ramen, nice place just off the crowds of Shaftesbury Avenue

Joyce gave us the BEST customer service!

An amazing place I try to visit any time I am in London. A ramen choice is amazing in cold weather! Quick service and the staff always there to help you with a menu. Will definitely recommend!

Excellent place, ambient atmosphere with families and couples eating their lunch. Food and service were excellent and well worth the time waited for the visit, next time were In the area we’ll be back

Not the fastest serving but excellent food

My first experience with ramen, delicious! Average prices, very kind staff, clean environment.... A beautiful experience!

The signature ramen was absolutely amazing and the staff are adorable🥰 Highly recommend!

This is my second time that i have been here and grate experience again with every aspects. I have tried chicken katsu curry ramen and it was awesome spiciness and taste. The portion is very satisfying as well. I also liked the takoyakis however needs to be filled with more octopus pieces.

Lovely dinner! We did overall enjoyed our dinner! The place is quite nice with a lovely athletic feel of the place & they have Japanese toilets which is quite exciting in London ! The staff was lovely but our server wasn’t very knowledgeable, the second server we had was much much better which was a lady! The prices are an avarage for London with quite decent portions. They have delays of you come for dinner earlier or on certain day which is nice! The buns were ok and the rest of the food was a bit nicer, but not mind blowing or extremely exquisite. Overall would recommend as a quick dinner as they were quite speedy with the service.

Really excellent!! I come here often!

We ordered some gyozas and a ramen each, we chose one classic and one spicy and the truth is that both were very good. Portions are large and service is fast.

The ramen was quite good and a good quantity, for 13/14 pounds in the heart of London it is quite well priced, I ordered the piri piri ramen and it was quite spicy, for those who like spicy I recommend it, the gyozas are also very good.

Honestly, the best Ramen I’ve ever indulged in. Would 100% return.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious food.

The vegan miso/soy spicy ramen was SO good! I was holding on for every bite! I wish they had veggie gyozas as that would have been so nice on the side, but the only option was meat based.

Good option with tasty food and fair prices. I just didn't appreciate the 12.5% ​​tip in the middle of the bill.

This ramen spot is a gem! One of the best I've had – and I'm saying that as someone who's tried some of Paris's finest! Cozy vibe, friendly service and flavors that hit just right!

A great place to eat superb Ramen dishes. Food is top quality and staff are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Very friendly and fast service. The food was rly good and good value for it as well! Would definitely recommend.

Gran comida, muy buen servicio, pero nos seguían trayendo la comida de otras personas, probablemente porque estaban muy ocupados. Buen ambiente, probablemente iría de nuevo.

The best ramen which I ever had ! I wish to be longer in London to get a chance to try more food there. First time we tried sake 🍶 😁

Mi pareja me llevó aquí para una cena de Halloween y había promocionado el restaurante como uno de sus favoritos. Nunca había estado allí, pero las primeras impresiones fueron que el área de la cocina abierta estaba tan ahumada que quemaba los ojos y el banco del sofá que constituía la mitad de nuestros asientos para nuestra mesa estaba cubierto de migas de pan, comida y vino de comidas anteriores. Tuve que cepillarlos visiblemente antes de sentarme y esto fue ignorado por el personal. El personal era todo educado, pero fuimos atendidos por varios servidores diferentes, aparentemente en diferentes conocimientos de dónde estábamos en nuestra experiencia gastronómica. Ninguno de los empleados nos acompañó a través del menú, o especiales que tuvimos que levantarnos y caminar para encontrar. Si quería guarniciones o salsas con mi filete nunca me lo pidieron así que terminé con un filete con salsa al azar. Pedí dos de la misma copa de vino que volvió en medidas totalmente diferentes, una vez que se sacó tan tarde que nuestro postre se había completado y se llevó.

Authentic Japanese ramen in the heart of London. Friendly staffs in a nice location. They also serve Japanese draught beer.

Food was great, service slight average but all in all okay

Really lovely atmosphere and lovely staff! Food was nice 3/4 stars

I've been here several times, the best break to find some warmth in the Ramen and in the place a few steps from Piccadilly

Sabroso almuerzo del sábado por la tarde después de algunas compras. He estado aquí un par de veces y rara vez decepciona. Estábamos aquí para un almuerzo de media tarde y un tiempo de calidad juntos. Servicio rápido y atento, comida decente en una muy buena ubicación. La cocina abierta y el fuego abierto es siempre agradable de ver.

The takoyakis were perfect! I had miso wafu chicken and it was very good, the only downside is that the ramen was missing a little more vegetables. Very well located restaurant.

I showed up 2 hours before my actual reservation but they were kind enough to seat my party and I early downstairs. The food was very fresh and didn’t feel heavy after we finished.

Amazing experience, really nice staff and very good noodles. Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Banging. Absolutely banging ramen. 10/10 would recommend and come back again.

Very friendly welcome and service, authentic ramen rich in flavors in a very Japanese atmosphere.

The place is a bit narrow but it's comfortable, it's best to book because otherwise you'll have to wait a while... Excellent ramen

Wouldn’t recommend. Was very disappointed! The food was cold and my ramen had no broth (assuming it sat out for a long time). Everything was incredibly salty, the nori was stale and it was overall horrible. Do not recommend.

Very good restaurant. I have been there several times during my trips to London. I highly recommend it. The prices are low and the service quality. The quantity on the plates is correct. Do not hesitate to come on site to reserve your table several hours in advance. The internet reservation system does not work well, however. I will come back without hesitation.

Great ramen for an affordable price, good vegan options too

Ummami! Delicious ramen and bao. Nice decor and friendly service

Impeccable cuisine, cold welcome and each table is asked to order using a QR code. The staff is only there to serve without any cordial relationship with the customer

Great food and a nice vibe with quick service

Estábamos buscando una comida y bebidas antes del teatro, pero nuestra elección original había arruinado la reserva, así que una búsqueda rápida en TripAdvisor nos llevó a Sophie. Al no tener una reserva y el lugar que inicialmente parecía bastante vacío nos llenó de un poco de inquietud, pero el amable y atractivo frente - de - el personal de la casa puso nuestras mentes en reposo mientras nos mostraron a una hermosa mesa dentro de este restaurante cavernoso. Es realmente encantador por dentro, con una zona de bar fabulosa y concurrida y un montón de opciones de menú. Elegimos de su fogata menú especial que era absolutamente perfecto para una cena pre-show. Deliciosamente cremoso paté de pollo, champiñones a la parrilla para empezar, relleno de caballa entera asada con patatas y una ensalada increíble. Todo lavado con una botella de Gavi Di Gavi a un precio razonable. Pero las verdaderas estrellas del espectáculo fueron el fantástico, entusiasta y profesional personal de Sophie’s, todos son jóvenes y felices de estar allí. Y todos han sido entrenados en atención y servicio al cliente de primera clase. Fue una alegría ver a este joven equipo disfrutando de su trabajo, que es tan raro en estos días. Bien hecho a todo el equipo de Sophie’s - y a la comunidad de TripAdvisor por la recomendación.

Good was okay but nothing special. Service was laking, the staff didnt answer the questions we asked well. And we had to ask for some of our items several times. My friend recieved her order about 10min after everyone else.

Best ramen in town. Great variety and taste, cosy atmosphere.

Ramen shop in London Soho…long Q in a rainy Oct evening

Came here two days ago with one of my best friends and I ordered the Miso Wafu Chicken. It was DELICIOUS! Super exquisite with super rich and warm ramen broth! and the karaage chicken were crispy outside and juicy inside! Combined with iced matcha latte, it warms my heart amidst the cold, rainy London that time.

Vegan options! Minimal but SO worth it! Spicy White Natural Ramen was 1000/10 and the cucumber Goma I think it was called was amazing

great food and a lovely waiter he was very helpful and explaned all the menu. will go back again. also amazing drinks

Friendly staff, but the food is just okay. You can either order and pay with the QR code from your table or order with a server. We were seated in an area where every table was super close to the next one, so everyone could hear every conversation. The service was quick and efficient, and they even offered a bib to protect white clothes from the ramen. 12.5% service charge already included. Edit: We both had severe stomach pains after eating last night.

The best ramen chain in London. I particularly loved the buns, I took advantage of Monday's promotion.

Shoryu delivers authentic Japanese dishes with rich flavors and great presentation. The warm ambiance and friendly staff make it an excellent place for a satisfying meal, whether you're craving ramen, tempura, bao buns, Katsu curry or other Japanese classics.

The ramen in here is great. However, eating in wasn't great. The table was all sticky, the menus all tatty, the soap dispenser in the toilet was empty. Also, the specific area where we were sat was really much too hot. Seems they have some problems with the air conditioning. Would really expect a much nicer environment given the price and quality of the food.

Loved it!! It's my first time trying ramen. I got their classic pork belly one. Tasted absolutely amazing. I was also able to witness japanese toilet 😅 with numerous buttons. Never seen one.

Traditional and good atmosphere, however the food was of bad quality, especially when I saw on the allergen menu the list of about 8 E Numbers

Dinner stop day 1 in London. Pretty meaty broth with tons of flavor, garlic and ginger. Generous char siu portions and they allow you to order your noodles done to your liking (which while common in Japan, way less common in the US). PS - Monday was bun day. We ordered 2 pork buns which had a lot of potential if made and delivered to the table fresh but the ones we got were not so not great.

We booked with the fork and we had a great experience. The gyoza were really tasteful and so was the ramen. Highly recommended.

First time tasting ramen-style food, not bad

We had a very good meal here. The son was surprised that Piri Piri is really that hot. :-) Prices correspond to the "London standard", but you get very good food! However, the 12.5% ​​tip is one of the highest we have paid compared to other restaurants.

It was good but not as good as i thought it was going to be. I got the ramen and curry special, the ramen soup was lighter than expected and had a strong seaweed flavour, there was just not enough pork belly for the curry to carry it, just maybe 4 thin slices.

Okayish ramen, good enough for anyone new trying ramen. Service was good

We had the chicken thigh yakitori, a pumpkin bun and a pork bun to start. The chicken and the pumpkin buns were both good and the pork was solid. For main we had the signature tonkotsu which was solid, the spicy natural vegan ramen which was very tasty and the kimchi seafood tonkotsu which was also solid. Recommend getting hard or very hard noodles, the standard was a bit soft.

Great food but dirty, mouldy toilets

Popular Ramen Restuarant, so you might have to wait in line for a bit. However, the ramen is well-seasoned and delicious, and the atmosphere is great for hanging out in the evening. I really liked the payment process here; you can order and pay directly from your mobile phone, making it very convenient.

Cozy, quiet and relaxing! The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful and the noodles were cooked to my preference. No complaints here!

Just an amazing experience overall! The space is beautiful and intimate, food was absolutely divine (one of the best ramens I’ve ever had - Katsu chicken ramen 15 out of 10). My boyfriend also loved his tonkotsu so much that he just kept smiling and making happy noises. ✨ Lastly, the staff were so nice as well - very helpful and friendly! Absolutely a 10/10!!! Thank you :)

Impressed with this ramen and curry place! Nice interior, friendly staff! They even have Japanese style toilets! Food was excellent, with the ramen being full of flavor and very filling! We tried the Kotteri Hankata and Karata Tan Tan , both delicious, with the latter being very spicy! Will return! Thank you 🙏🏻

amazing ramen! great portions, I got the katsu curry ramen visit if you can :)

Top notch. I won't be even spoiling the atmosphere and taste. Just go and experience it yourself. This Hakato ramen definitely is a bit different than the usual ramen

Best ramen in London, very similar to the real traditional one. Very very slow service, it takes a lot of calm. Friendly staff. It's the second time I've been back and it's excellent. Unfortunately the photos were taken after the meal had already begun 😅 We spent £119 on 3 people. We got 3 ramen, a meat dumpling and 3 Bao. 2 small beers and a still water. I would say average prices for London.

Very tasty and full-bodied ramen. I ordered it and loved it. I would come back more often!

Best Japanese food in London IMO

Lovely restaurant, beautiful decor, attentive staff and delicious ramen! We came for dinner and ordered the Char Siu Pork Bun, the Prawn Tempura and the Kotteri Hakata Tonkotsu. The ramen was incredibly rich, flavoursome, and very filling, the bun was perfect, and the pork was tender and the prawn tempura was also delicious. Highly recommend!

I ordered the chicken ramen and it was good, but a little plain, not the best I've ever had We also ordered some balls that they have on sale on Tuesdays to try them since we didn't know what they were, after trying them, I couldn't say what they are either, although I think they have cheese, octopus and some vegetables.

Had a table booked for 17.45. We queued for 15 minutes without even being acknowledged. I mean not one employee made eye contact with us, let alone came and said anything. We gave up in the end and went somewhere else who actually had good customer service. Really disappointed as we were looking forward to it after reading all the good reviews. A lady who was sat near the front who was in before us also got up and left, as she said she still hadn't been served. We went to Dirty Bones a little up the road and were seated and served within 5 mins and had a nice burger and a drink.

We ordered the double Ribeye steak, it was cooked to perfection and it was delicious! Special mention to our server Rob (Yorkshire Rob) nothing was too much trouble and his attitude was excellent, he really is a credit to this restaurant! Would highly recommend this great steak house, fabulous!

Bel posto intrigante, valido anche per aperitivi, abbiamo trovato Musica dj, Sul mangiare, Pane arrostito non ci siamo, Bistecca insalata con broccoli ottima anche se per i miei gusti c'era troppo aceto che non metterei per niente, Patate arrosto super, Vino entry cabernet ok

Good atmosphere, simply good ramen, service was quick as well.

The best Ramen we have eaten since we returned from Japan! We were very well received and quickly served! The food is really good and even if the noodles are thin, the fact that you can choose their hardness makes the difference! We were even able to grab a box of the signature ramen which was very good even in the box! An address to repeat during your next visit to London!

We went pre-theatre and had a really nice dinner. Everyone got steaks and loved them. The mac and cheese was also fabulous. From the outside you cannot tell how big this place is. The steakhouse is hidden around the corner and there is a ton of seating in the bar and front part as well. Really nice place.

Super tasty, staff were lovely (shoutout to Joyce and Gabija) and good value for central (happy hour on cocktails (£8) before 8pm). Great pre-theatre dinner spot.

The food was good, the prices were fair and the service was good

Joyce was really helpful and nice. Her service was attentive and enthusiastic. Great employee, would visit again and recommend to family and friends.

Great food! Great drink! Great atmosphere! Great staff! Great location! Great afternoon! What more can you ask for. Sophie’s Soho has it all. Thank you!

Ramen took 30 minutes to cook and when I asked to do that take-away because of time shortage they gave me box and said do it yourself. Horrible service

The Dracula Tonkotsu was very good and garlicky. The broth wasn’t too heavy and the black garlic flavor gave it some depth. I recommend getting the firmer noodles (Katamen). The dish would have been better if they gave more char siu (they only gave 2 thin slices)

I was happy that this place accepted online booking. The food was quick and delicious. The restaurant was a good size and the staff were very friendly.

Absolutly incredible. The service eas first class the food Was mind blowing and the Chef even came personally to me asking how i liked his food. Really, amazing

Shoryu is one of the best Japanese restaurants in London, it has an authentic Tonkotsu ramen. Miguel was wonderful, very helpful. Highly recommended! A must visit restaurant in London.

A very welcoming place, excellent food, note that it is made with caliphate products. I ordered a chiken Katsu ramen: I wasn't so keen on the bamboo, but the chicken was super well cooked, the batter was perfect, the broth was great and the ginger was very good. The takoyaki very good and the kimchi quite bland. The service of 10 all, very friendly and they explain everything to you calmly. The kitchen closes at 10.30pm and the restaurant at 11pm.

My partner and I love this place. Every time we're in London, we see if we can come here! The food is delicious, and the staff are so beyond friendly. If you like authentic Japanese food, I couldn't recommend this place more. They even sell ramen noodle pots to scratch the itch between visits!
