Ramen specialist tonkotsu.ramenbar is opening its newest restaurant in Cardiff this month (18th). 

Located in the heart of Cardiff city centre on the High Street (CF10 1AW), bringing its signature bowls of homemade ramen, gyoza, and famous chicken kara-age to the city.

First launched in Soho in 2012 by co-founders Ken Yamada and Emma Reynolds, who still run the business together, Tonkotsu was at the forefront of the UK’s ramen craze.

We went to visit one of their London locations in Haggerston recently to sample the menu ahead of the Cardiff opening. 

We spoke to Emma and Ken about the new restaurant and had a taste of a few dishes. But first, the name?
