Bone Daddies Soho

Cheese and Biscuits: Bone Daddies, Soho

Just think, over the last twelve months we've welcomed into the fold Duck and Waffle, MeatMarket, Tramontana, Zédel, Slider Bar, Bubbledogs, Dirty Burger and Chicken Shop, Rita's, Lima, Dabbous - and so on and etcetera, this only a tiny selection (just scanning over my last dozen or so blog posts) of brand new places, all worth visiting.

The latest "thing" in London may be ramen, but Bone Daddies is not a lazy rip-off of either Ittenbari or Tonkotsu - its identity is inspired by the Rockabilly gangs of Tokyo's Yoyogi park, and the eclectic (ie.

The T22 is a chicken bone broth variety that according to the menu comes with something called "cock scratchings" but I'm at a loss to explain exactly what they were; I couldn't find anything in my bowl to fit that description.

Both ramen contained nice bouncy egg noodles, decent but unspectacular, but I think I preferred the slightly more, er, normal arrangement of broth, boiled chicken and noodles in the T22 than the haphazard pile of mince and sesame in the Tantamen which was so piled high with ingredients I hardly needed a spoon at all.

Bone Daddies, I assume, aren't pretending to be a slice of Tokyo in London and are just offering as much fun as it's possible to have with bowls of chicken and pork bone stock while also serving a fantastic selection of Japanese-inspired comfort foods into the bargain.

Bone Daddies Soho review - Tantanmen - Le Captain Foodie

This weekend, we put on our leather jacket on and head to St Peter’s street Soho to review Bone Daddies, the Rock’n’Roll version of a Contemporary Ramen bar.

Bone Daddies has several locations in London (Soho, Old street, Marylebone,…), each of them inspired by Japanese cuisine from Ramen, Izakaya, yoshoku or even Sushi.

However, Bone Daddies’ first restaurant at Peter Street was originally focusing almost exclusively on Ramen with a successful homemade pork bone broth, that’s why i’ve decided to visit this Restaurant.

Bone Daddies Soho (St Peter) serves a wide variety of dishes with a main focus on Ramen.

The equivalent to Rock’n’roll music in the world of Ramen would be the spicy and fierce Tantanmen, so it was a legitimate choice to order at Bone Daddies.

As we walk up the stairs of Kensington High Street’s Whole Foods, the excitement to taste Bone Daddies’ delectable dishes is mixed with a little apprehension.

On the menu is a range of typical Japanese starters – including the staples, sashimi and edamame – where we share the Chicken & Prawn Gyoza (£6.50), Soft Shell Crab (£8.50) and Korean Fried Chicken Wings (£6).

While both are prepared with a Clarence Court free range egg, bamboo shoots and bean sprouts sitting on a bed of springy ramen noodles, they possess vastly different flavour profiles: the Tonkotsu Ramen’s Chashu pork, spring onion and 20-hour pork bone broth providing a strong honey, soy and ginger taste, and the hearty T22’s trademarked cock scratchings and chicken bone broth achieving a salty-sweet umami taste.

So after a delightful evening of Eastern fare, what is the verdict for Bone Daddies’ Kensington High Street?

Well, Bone Daddies’ About Us reads, ‘Come for ramen noodles, get a lot more!’

City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer.

From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland.

It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus.

As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

Bone Daddies, Soho: restaurant review | Tom Parker Bowles - olive ...

Tucked away on a side street in London’s Soho, Bone Daddies is a buzzy new Japanese ramen bar.

The small menu is made up of eight starters and eight ramen dishes, and a drinks menu offers beer alongside sake cocktails.

Good ramen is all about the broth; chicken or pork bones slow-cooked until the resulting, silky liquid seduces the taste buds and coats the mouth.

The soy ramen is a little lighter – it’s made with chicken broth but it has serious depth and a flavour that resounds around the mouth, while the tantanmen is sweeter and scented with sesame but still possesses that all-important meaty heft.

There are eight ramen dishes to choose from; noodles with assorted meats and veg in broth.We didn’t quite have the bottle to try the T22, which comes with the intriguingly-named ‘cock scratchings’, and instead went for the tantanmen sesame, chilli, pork mince and bok choy in broth and a dipping ramen juicy pork and veg with a small bowl of broth on the side.
