Absolutely Fantastic Experience at SAIKO! SAIKO completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the open kitchen setup created such a lively and inviting atmosphere—you can literally watch the chefs bring your ramen to life with steam rising and aromas filling the air. The ramen bowls were phenomenal — perfectly cooked noodles with rich, flavorful broth and beautifully balanced toppings. The crispy chicken, soft-boiled egg, and fresh broccoli were spot on. Every bite was pure comfort! We also tried the spring rolls and dumplings, and they were just as delicious—crispy on the outside, savory and satisfying inside. Everything was served hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The staff were friendly, efficient, and genuinely passionate about their food. The entire dining experience felt both cozy and vibrant — a perfect mix of casual and premium. If you’re a ramen lover (or even if you’re not yet!), SAIKO is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back soon. 🍜🔥
Ordered each a medium vegan ramen for £11 each. Did wait a bit, but understand it would have to be cooked fresh and there's a queue. Worth the wait! Rich and filling broth, helped by the sesame oil, and was fully absorbed by the noodles. Gyoza was delicious and reccomend as a side let alone in the ramen. Crisp tofu. Definitely recommend as a ramen spot
Great Bao and Ramen , ideal eatery for pre theatre dinner 🍽️ quick service, friendly staff .wide range to choose from .
Too class service from a very sophisticated establishment. A good variety of options to pick from and reasonably priced considering the quality on offer. Very aesthetically pleasing food and taste that matches. Credit to their team of chefs and front of house, especially Maja, for the dining experience. For my liking, the chips could have been fluffier on the interior and I personally prefer a meal with less sweetness. However, the portion was filling and definitely something a lover of that food palette would savour.
Incredible Ramen. Had the surf and turf option. The beef melted in your mouth; prawns to die for. Highly recommend! Enjoyed sitting at the bar to eat it. Friendly and good service. Will be back soon.
