Review
One of the latest projects by the Notting Hill Fish Shop and Dorian team, Robin’s Ramen operates as a pop-up inside Supermarket of Dreams in Notting Hill, approaching ramen as a chef-driven, ingredient-led dish rather than fast food. Headed by Robin Kosuge, with Dorian’s Max Coen frequently present in the kitchen, the pop-up prioritises European and British sourcing, steering away from imported Japanese produce.
Broths range from fish paitan to chicken-based stocks, built with depth and precision, while noodles are made from a custom rye–komugi blend produced in Manchester. Conceived as a pop-up and moving towards a permanent location in May, Robin’s Ramen is arguably among the most accomplished, and possibly the best, bowls of ramen in London right now.
