Tonkotsu - Hackney

Cuisine: Japanese, Ramen
Price Point: Mains from £10-£20

Filling bellies all over London with hot, comforting ramen, Tonkotsu has opened in Hackney.

In true Hackney style, this Tonkotsu branch has plenty of urban edge to satisfy the hipster and corduroy-clad locals. The brick ceiling plays host to exposed pipes...could you get any edgier?! The restaurant is long and narrow, affording it an intimate atmosphere.

There’s ramen for days! Choose from six types of ramen, like their signature tonkotsu ramen or their new miso mushroom ramen. Then customise it to your taste with an array of add-ons like a seasoned egg, crab or pork belly. And if you don’t think that’ll fill you up, have a few pieces of gyoza on standby.

Accompany your Japanese feast with a bottle of the good stuff. Their wine list is short but carefully considered, but if you want an authentic experience, order in some Sake! Alternatively, keep it cool with a Kirin beer or a red-orange ale.
