Tonkotsu

I tried the Tokyo Spicy ramen and thought it was delicious. It comes with a tender mound of slow-cooked pork, rather than the sliced pork that's in more traditional ramen. The soup and noodles were great as was their house made chilli sauce. I'd wanted to try the gyoza, but they'd sold out so I'll be back again soon to try those. I was surprised to read someone write that the portion was small, as I thought it was huge and was unable to finish it. Will definitely be going back to try some of their other ramen flavours. Curious about their "London" flavour.

The Oyster Shed

I had lunch at the Oyster Shed and was very disappointed. My "duck salad with pomegranate" consisted of some thinly sliced grilled duck, which was nice, but the salad part was horrible. Lettuce leaves with corn, peas and pomegranate. The peas and corn were horrible and really didn't go with the pomegranate (nor belong in a salad, I'd say). It was like they were being too cheap and too lazy to put in some other fresh ingredients like cucumber that would more typically be in a salad like this.

It was quite small and when I order bread to make it more substantial I was just given bread with no butter or olive oil to go with it. For two salads and two ciders it was £33 - really over priced for what it was. We won't be going back to eat at the Oyster Shed.
