21.09.2016: On the Menu: Shoryu Ramen

In spite of the daily nightmare of trying to get to and from London using Southern Rail's service (if you can call it that!), I've still managed to catch up on a little bit of culture over the last couple of weeks- most recently in the shape of the incredible Yerma at the Young Vic. Accompanied by Elodie and Hannah ahead of a weekend of birthday celebrations, we were keen to sit down to a proper meal before the performance, so headed to a new opening in Covent Garden, offering some rapidly-ready ramen which proved to be the perfect option: 

For a post-work pitstop, you can't really fault Shoryu. Speedy service makes the world of difference, and here it was tip top- impressive considering it was a 50% off day to celebrate the recent opening of this branch in Covent Garden. I opted for the Shoryu Ganso Tonkotsu, their signature pork broth with mushrooms, pork belly, egg, spring onion, seaweed and noodles- just delicious. In the interest of fairness, I also ordered a Shoryu bun- the perfect accompaniment to an altogether heavenly experience.

Have you tried any new dining destinations recently?
