United Ramen (Islington)

• T need me to tell you noodles are everywhere right now
• I was particularly drawn to United Ramen because they were doing noodle soups and shaking it up a little by serving several versions
• So they had a Yankee Doodle noodle soup with pulled chicken and sweetcorn
• In not many other places have I so admired the vessel my soup was brought in
• Though a bit of chilli oil soon perked it up so that my nose was sniffing by the end of the meal
• Before that happened the flavour was quite nice
• One of the best things about tonkotsu is the soy egg
• What a woeful specimen this ovum was no soy flavour &ndash
• Stephen had the Chashu Pork with thick noodles (Japanese inspired) and
• We had some kimchi on the side and also some pork gyoza to start which were both tasty enough
• The portion of kimchi for 50p was particularly generous
• Newest noodles on the scene are those on offer at United Ramen
• Miso and chicken bone broth with thick noodles
• Serving size was ample and on the drearily raining evening I visited that big ole bowl of soup really hit the spot
• Behind the idea is entrepreneur with bent for East Asian cuisine
• Chicken bone broth with thin noodles that&rsquo
• Rounding out the menu of classic and newly invented ramens are yummy sides such as tofu gyoza
• Great drinks (I was pleased to see Shipyard on the list) and fun desserts like strawberry cheesecake mochi and wasabi ice cream
• Love the concept of ramen with a multinational twist and the sides were really tasty too
• I had the yankee noodle ramen and was a bit disappointed by its lack of flavour (especially the broth)
