  I love the look of this cosy ramen shop, which is why I spontaneously entered! But note there are more spaces upstairs! I went for their cheapest option which is the 3 garlic ramen and I loved it! It was so different from what I can get back home. However I thought there could be more soup and noodles slightly harder. But beware you must love garlic. Also tried the karaage chicken and was very crispy! Not bad. Drink options were also plentiful and interesting. Service was friendly but slightly on the slower side.

  This is the single greatest restaurant in the Brixton area. Good service, amazing noodles and the best starters in town.Jackfruit = 10/10Chicken feet = 10/10Saltfish korroke = 10/10

  Eight years ago, I had little reason to go to Brixton and I wasn’t the only one. I still recall when I first arrived in this country and people would talk about the area like it was some sort of war zone. Maybe it was ignorance or maybe it’s just a sign of the times but now you’d be luckily enough to be able to afford a house in the area such is its popularity. Buoyed by an influx of new homeowners swept up in the gentrification wave, the area has received a real shot in the arm and that is no more evident than in the food industry where places such as Market Row, Brixton Village and now Pop Brixton, have become meccas for some of the finest food south of the river. But just when you thought it couldn’t get better, Mr James Atherton, of Masterchef fame, then went and decided this would be the perfect location to open up his first long awaited permanent site – Nanban. Though his past exploits may suggest otherwise, you come here for one thing; ramen; and if you don’t believe me, one look at the menu all but confirms it with all but one main being of the noodle variety. And I for one and totally ok with that, especially if they are all as good as the curry goat tsukemen where lovely slow-cooked goat is served in a deliciously fragrant curry with a side of tsukemen ramen for you to dip. However, I poured my ramen directly into the bowl of curry and felt better off having done so as each mouthful of noodle was dripping with the curry. Heavenly to say the least. Unfortunately being in a hurry, I didn’t have time to properly work my way through the menu. Aside from all the ramen I wanted to try, the chicken karaage from my neighbouring table looked to be a winner and the Sasebo Burger sounded intriguing to say the least. Just more reasons to come back for another visit; and there will be another visit. Also follow me on Twitter @annixontong and @wetrykai and on Instagram @annixontong. wetrykai.wordpress.com
