    The food was delectable and I enjoyed the bao, although the fillings were quite salty. If someone in your party is having the bao as their main, like I did, I would suggest asking the server if it can be brought out at the same time as the ramen. Otherwise the bao will come out early. For the ramen, we thought it was nice that you could pay a little extra and choose unlimited toppings (to an extent). We asked for shredded chicken, but when the ramen arrived, the chicken was absent, so we had to flag someone down. They plopped some pork at our table eventually. Oh well, extra meat is extra meat. Also, at the time of ordering, we had requested for some ingredients to be removed, which was okayed by the server, but there were still remnants left in the ramen. Our reason for asking this was due to food preference, but if it had been due to an allergy, that could have been unfortunate. I know little mistakes can happen. Overall, it was just an average experience.

    The Korean wings were excellent sweet with a nice warming heat had the pork traditional ramen, eggs nice and runny, noodles great and the pork succulent with a heart warming broth. All washed down with a few Asahi, music was great, the decor was top notch and the servers were brilliant and very smiley and kind. Would 100% go again.

    Had our first visit with this franchise. Good hot soup, chasu pork belly not very fatty but the broth was quite MSGed; Staffers, both front and back, didn’t wear face mask at the time of visit; toilets are located at the basement and can only access by stairs

    This ramen place is situated in St. Christopher's place near Bond street station. The food was delicious. The menu is mostly ramen and bao dishes. The staff are nice and friendly. There is enough seating for everyone as well. The ambience of the place is also quite nice. Definitely worth a visit if you are into ramen.

    Tables are sticky; small plates, soup spoons and glasses are visible with grease. One staff gave me a long face after I politely told her that we want the rest of our orders taken away. She just walked away and came back to our table with take away boxes without even saying any single word! The foods are too salty to our liking. Overly price for poor quality and quantity foods. I wouldn’t recommend and will definitely not coming back.

    A really lovely place to have some ramen! Tried their tonkutsu ramen and korean style fried chicken and amazed by their quality. Broth was rich, salty and full of tonkutsu flavour. They even have hair tie for ladies to tie their hair up cause "Eating ramen sometimes can be a messy business." said the owner of this ramen shop. Peeled garlic in fresh water so you can crush it into the soup to have a even richer broth. Fantastic dine-in experience, will visit again!

    We came here for dinner and ordered three bao to start including the chashu pork, crispy duck, and fried chicken. They were all so delicious, but my favourite was the fried chicken bao. The kimchi mayo was so delicious and added a perfect amount of heat. We also ordered the tonkotsu and the pork pork chili ramen bowls. I was not a fan of the broth in either of the bowls as they were not overly flavourful or rich, and I thought the noodles were overcooked. I wish we had ordered all bao for dinner instead. Overall, I would not return for their ramen, but I would come back to order more bao.

    Was served by Dani and Anthony who were both excellent at their job! Anthony deserves a promotion because of how polite and experienced he was at serving me and managing his customers! With my experience as a restaurant manager myself these boys are both excellent! And give Dani a raise!

    Me and my friends went here for the first time, the staff are Very nice. The chicken was halal. So we ordered mainly chicken ramen dishes and chicken sides and edamame beans, which were all really good and flavorful. Their portion size is also filling, but not to a sickening point. We sat outside so it was nice a breezy. All round nice experience.

    "Bone Daddies Bond St is a gem in terms of location and comfortable seating, offering a delightful atmosphere for a satisfying meal. The standout dish, the pork pork chili ramen, hits the mark with its flavors, delivering a taste I thoroughly enjoyed. The fusion of pork and chili in the ramen creates a tantalizing experience for the taste buds. Complementing the meal perfectly is the brilliant creamy Asahi beer, offering a refreshing and delightful pairing. However, what truly sets this place apart is not just the food and drink but the warm and friendly staff. Their attentive service enhances the overall dining experience, making a visit to Bone Daddies Bond St an absolute pleasure. For a flavorful ramen adventure coupled with excellent service and beverages, this spot is a must-visit for ramen enthusiasts."

    Loved the location but the food was below expectations. The place is absolutely beautiful so much you will forget to be in London city centre. Unfortunately the food wasn’t matching that Japanese experience. It was quite average and not really authentic in the way it was prepared. I was particularly disappointed by the ramen noodles choice. Quite cheap, thin and not at all what you would get in a Japanese ramen soup.

    The food here is pretty good, and the location is also nice. The service leaves a lot to be desired though. Mostly staff who don’t care at all and never smile to the customers. …and the heavy metal music is not to everyone’s liking. But might return at some point for the food.

    Bustling! This restaurant has excellent food and a great atmosphere. Meals are hot and filling, and staff are friendly and careful (we have an odd allergy in the group, so they checked over the ingredients before the meal). Spicy meals are actually spicy and you can add to your meal as you go. Pretty busy so may want to call ahead of time to check seating availability, or if you are alright with sitting/ eating outside there is usually room under the covered patio. Happy eating :)

    Absolutely unreal. Third trip to bone daddies in three trips to London, second to this particular branch, and time upon time its only gotten better. Had hyped the food to my very sceptical friend and we both had our minds blown. Proper authentic flavours, fantastic service by Charlotte, and perfect vibe sitting in the heated outdoor seats on a winters night. Would rate this as my go to food in London. Keep up the good stuff!

    Fantastic, filling, well balanced ramen, even better customer service. Jason (?) was so friendly and happy to help explain the menu and suggest a dish. I really love that there are hair bands provided, as are aprons/bibs for us messier eaters (who love to wear white shirts!!). Sit at the bar if you can!!

    Had dinner there, and we chose to sit outdoor I think it was a mistake, the tables are really squashed together, there was only a very small gap between tables, I could really hear what next table were talking about, and the seats were putting together almost no gap in between the seats behind you. If you sit indoor the seatings were in a long bench table which is also not very comfortable I would say. Anyway that’s only a small problem. Food is average, nothing special, there are more Ramen places offer better Ramen in central London. Table is not very clean, when we sat down we then noticed lots of chilli sauce were on the floor where we sat. Waiters/ Waitress are not professional, we were served by a waitress when we had our order, then she disappeared, while other waiters were not giving us any attention, we waited for ages to get our bill, because no one were coming to us or even looking at us, at last I went to the till to ask for the bill. 👎

    The buns very very nice. We tried the salmon, eggplant and chicken and they all had very similar tastes because of the toppings and sauces used. The salmon bun was my favorite. The ramen was nice.
