Ramen turns out to be a surprisingly easy meal with children — one bowl, quick to arrive, and nobody has to sit still for three courses. The room here is warm and traditional-feeling, with a window counter that catches the sun and a view through to the chefs working, and the noise level sits comfortably in between: not silent, not shouty. Staff are patient with questions and happy to steer you through the menu, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and vegan bowls. The tonkotsu broth is what people come back for, along with the takoyaki and the crisp curry karaage; there are proper mocktails too, so older children get something that feels like a treat. Worth knowing: a 12.5% service charge is added, and portions can feel modest for the price.
