Reviews
Not as good as it used to be. Ordered the vegetable tempura but it was unseasoned down to the sauce it came with. Was silently wishing they put soy sauce on the tables. I had similar or worse issues with my ramen. The Ramen for Faye Wong. It said infused with yuzu but it was more like it was drowning in yuzu. Dont think it was made right. Everyone around the table tried it in shock. Sorry but the worst ramen I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan options
Had the food take away from this place after some great reviews from couple of people. Overall it was good but not exceptional. The fried chicken was nice but could do with more balance of flavour. The ramen soup flavour seemed really strong and a little on the salty side. The noodle was a little over cooked and mushy by the time it was delivered which is slightly a shame as there was not much soup left. It may be worth to try in the restaurant so I may try it to eat in next time.
Some of the best ramen we’ve had! So flavoursome, food was perfect with all the right textures. The veggie options are fab! We went last night and cannot get over how good the food was!
Be warned: the Lazy Goat ramen has intense heat! I suggest trying that one and the Kumamoto pork ramen. Also, this restaurant has really comfortable seating which I appreciate a lot of similar ramen places don’t. Good spot for groups.
For starters we went for Prawn Karaage which are plump red Atlantic prawns, lightly floured and deep-fried - it was so good dipped in their yuzu-chilli mayo! We also had Hanetsuki gyoza which had a good amount of pork filling and such a crispy crust! For drinks we wanted to try something from their impressive selection of hot drinks! We had the Kyoto Oolong which is a rare organic oolong tea from Japan which we really liked!! We also ordered a Green Velvet Matcha but it was too bitter for us! For mains we ordered the Yaki-Udon with mixed seafood which is stir-fried udon with Chinese leaf, carrots, and shiitake topped with fried shallots, pickled ginger, Japanese mayo and katsuobushi - loved this dish! We also ordered the Lazy Goat Ragù-men which we both really wanted to try because of how unique it sounded and it was 6th in @timeoutlondon best dishes 2018! It is slow cooked boneless goat leg and thick noodles in a rich and spicy Indo-Caribbean curry sauce, topped with Scotch bonnet bamboo shoots, fried shallots, seafood sawdust and a tea-pickled egg. This isn’t a combination of ingredients we would think to put together but it works so well and is such an explosion of flavours! - @eatwithlaki
I will dive straight to the point: Nanban’s innovations into curating creative ramen dishes misses the mark. I went here with my friend, who ordered their “lazy goat ragu-men” while I had the aubergine and courgette tan tan men vegan. The vegan ramen options were a bit closer to closer to the traditional ramen take than the non-vegan ones. We did not have positive and glowing comments about the dish - we both thought our ramen tasted bland, tasteless, lacked flavours and the toppings that was supposed to go together with the broth just did not complement well at all. For example, there was a bit of spicy kick in both of my friend’s and I ramen, but it did not blend well with the overall ramen. My broth was slightly thick rather than a good balance of proportionate consistency. My friend had thick noodles that might as well be called as udon not ramen. There wasn’t much redeeming factors. I guess for a ramen place is ranks alongside other mediocre ramen spots. For the taste, the food is quite expensive but this is London prices. Ordering is still through their website accessible by using your phone to scan the QR code available at the table and then order. Payment can be done outside of the app though. Can’t comment on the service as there isn’t much interaction Vegetarian options: There are two vegan ramen options - the "new ramen for faye wong" and "aubergine and courgette tan tan men vegan
This was just bad. Ordering was via a janky website which was a hassle. Chicken karaage was under-marinated, overcooked and tough, which is an achievement in itself to overcook such a forgiving cut of chicken. The ramen broth was bland, the noodles overcooked and the eggs, while giving Tempe perfect doneness, was again bland and should have sat in the marinate for quite a bit longer. This was a very disappointing dinner.
I give Nanban 4 stars for the novelty overall 3. The idea of the food here is so cool, it's a Japanese and Caribbean fusion AND they use local fresh ingredients. The menu is a fun and informative read, I love how much effort they put into designing the recipe and explaining the food and drinks. HOWEVER - I don't understand why some of the dishes are so incredibly salty you'll see quite a few other customers in the review agree with me too, which absolutely killed my appetite. This is definitely your kinda place if you like salty food but if not, avoid the ramen, chicken karaage and acke & fish koroke . On the plus side - I loved the creative use of yuzu and miso, and really recommend the salmon, mushroom and sweet potato tapas. I liked their dessert, the kanbanana and gamari-misu. Also recommend the Boys to the yard cocktail, it's so yum.
Known for Japanese soul food. The menu had interesting dishes which are not served in your typical Japanese restaurant. We ordered a variety, just because I wanted to try everything. 1kg of angry bird chicken wings were succulent and tasty. I really wanted to eat more but they were too spicy for me... The karaage were one of the best I've had and mushrooms were good. Ramen were too salty and other dishes were not as impressive. I was eager to try the matcha tiramisu, but wasn't impressed with that either. However, the Nanbanana was surprisingly good and the crisply noodles added a moreish texture. Wheelchair access: it's quite narrow and very busy, with a small step at the entrance. Staff kept bumping into my wheels. There are no accessible toilets either marked down a star for not being wheelchair friendly
Took us as a late booking with no fuss on a Friday night. Cocktails were excellent and the small plates were brilliant. The fried chicken was ridiculously crispy and the the angry birds were unreal. The sweet potato had ponzu butter on which was a mix of confusing and delicious. We only had room for one desert and we went for the bananamban and it was also fantastic, contrasting temperatures, texture and sweet and salt brilliantly. I would highly recommend.
