Maki & Ramen Soho

Maki and Ramen Soho brings the soul-warming ritual of ramen to the heart of Soho, Central London. Here, patience and precision meet in bowls of shimmering broth, each one a study in texture and depth. The signature tonkotsu arrives silky and clouded, embroidered with black garlic oil, while chicken-led broths like tori paitan and shio truffle nod to umami-rich comfort and shiitake’s earthy allure.

Homemade noodles supply the chew and lift that make a proper slurp irresistible, and there is a thoughtful range for every palate. Plant-led bowls are no afterthought, from vegan tonkotsu threaded with homemade garlic oil to miso layered with tofu and pak choi. A lively cast of small plates sets the pace: prawn tempura shatters with a whisper, and gyoza lands with golden sighs.

Beyond the steam, there is diversion in the roll and the rice. The Green Dragon Roll and Black Dragon Roll bring colour and theatre, while donburi deals in hearty ease pumpkin katsu curry or spicy chicken teriyaki rice alongside the wok-kissed comfort of yakisoba with chashu or crisp chicken. For purists, nigiri and sashimi keep things elegantly elemental.

Soho’s buzz meets the quiet pleasure of a well-made bowl simple, satisfying, and just a little addictive. Book your spot, follow the aroma, and let the noodles do the talking.
