On the border between Soho and Mayfair, just across from the back door of Hamley's, is this Japanese noodle restaurant.

Food

Basically ramen, but with a variety of other dishes available. Think of Wagamama, but without the pretentiousness and with rather better quality. Prices vary, but you can be well fed for £ 10.

Busyness

It's often packed out, especially in the evenings - I think Time Out may have reviewed it recently.
