Tonkotsu Arrives In Ealing Broadway's Dickens Yard Development

Complete with bar top made from recycled chopsticks

Just over 6 years after opening its first restaurant in Soho, top notch ramen outfit Tonkotsu is set to open its tenth restaurant in Ealing. Located in the new Dickens Yard development next to Gail's Bakery, the restaurant will serve its signature homemade noodle ramens, gyozas and Japanese appetisers, alongside a selection of craft beer, sake and cocktails. Ealing residents are encouraged to look out for the branded chopsticks all over Ealing in the run up to the opening, which can be exchanged for a free ramen until the end of February!

The 50-cover restaurant covers two floors and features an open kitchen, both ground-floor and basement seating, as well as a bar top created from recycled chopsticks – once used in their other restaurants.

The new restaurant launch would not be complete without some new dishes.  These include:

• Venison Mazesoba (Christmas special available until the start of January): Thick homemade noodles topped with minced miso venison & walnuts, spring onions, red currants, nori and Burford Brown egg yolk
• Miso Mushroom Ramen: Konbu & shiitake broth & miso base. Classic homemade noodles topped with shiitake, enoki & shimeji mushrooms, black kale, bamboo shoots, spring onions and seasoned egg
• Improved Tokyo Ramen: Chicken brother & soy sauce base. Classic homemade noodled topped with marinated & braised pork belly, pork scratchings, bamboo shoots, spring onions and seasoned egg
• Yuzu Mixed Greens: Mange tout, green beans and black kale in a light yuzu dressing.

Ken Yamada, co-founder of the group with business partner Emma Reynolds, said today, “It's staggering to think we're opening our tenth site here – home to thousands of Japanese people and in the heart of a beautiful new development.  Ealing is our most neighbourhood site to date, and there is already so much support for our arrival.” 

Tonkotsu was launched in 2012 by co-founders Ken Yamada and Emma Reynolds. As well as the soon-to-be ten locations across London, Tonkotsu also have a ramen bar in Selfridges Birmingham, and have further plans to open in Peckham early next year.  They have just opened their 9 th site in Stratford, just outside the busy shopping centre in East London, to critical acclaim.

Tonkotsu Ealing opens on Saturday 1 December and tables are walk-ins only.
