Halal ramen is pretty hard to find in London, so when the founders of the popular Mamasons, came up with Ramo Ramen, we were very excited and had to check it out. These are the same people behind Guanabana, Bintang, Panadera, as well as the aforementioned Mamasons. All of which, in their own way, have taken London by storm and have a loyal following and fan base. So, hopes were high for this ramen spot.
Soho and Kentish Town
Excitingly for the people of Camden and West London, they have two branches. They combine two cuisines (Filipino and Japanese) to serve up some very interesting concoctions. Check out their menu here. Very innovative and creative.
We visited the Soho branch. The restaurant is cozy, small and has a date night kind of vibe to it. Quite similar to Bintang. We ordered fried chicken katsu donburi, oxtail kare kare ramen and calamansi ade to drink. Before discussing the food, it was quite disappointing to see the alcohol on their menu. Traditionally, they never served alcohol in their other restaurants, which we respected and appreciated, so this was quite a disappointment.
