Bone Daddies - Soho - London

When you're heart broken nothing tastes good.

But Bone Daddies really knows how to soothe a wounded soul.

He know's exactly what to do to cheer you up.

A) he blasts classic rock at you, it's so loud that you have to raise your voice to be heard; and it's too loud to even hear yourself think. Perfect.

B) he feeds you a huge, stonking bowl of steaming tonkotsu ramen - everything tastes better when it's bad for you.

C) he takes care of you and offers you the largest bib I've ever laid eyes on; plus hairbands to tie your hair back. So, you can slurp your ramen with ease.

D) Bone Daddies is a restaurant for boisterous and loud friends. No need to throw your chopsticks at that cringey, amorous couple then.

Shoryu - St. James - Regent Street - London

I've been patiently waiting for a new ramen bar to open in London for some time, and when it does- 3 appear around the same time.

The rivalry between Bone Daddies, Tonkotsu and Shoryu is FIERCE.

Don't worry - I've got you covered.

It just means I have to go to all 3.

For research obviously, intense scientific experimentation ;]

I went to Shoryu first.

Shoryu is brought to you by the same people who run the Japan Centre.

But Shoryu is in a league of it's own.

It specialises in Hakata Tonkotsu ramen noodles, and their head chef is born and raised from the Hakata district in Japan.

It's so authentic it hurts.
