Tonkotsu Notting Hill is a Japanese ramen restaurant at 7 Blenheim Crescent, just around the corner from Portobello Road. The dining room centres on a counter where guests can watch the chefs at work, while a terrace adds outdoor seating during the warmer months. Tables are offered without reservations, giving the restaurant an informal rhythm from lunch into the evening.
The kitchen makes noodles, broths, gyoza, katsu curry and sides from scratch. Its original Tonkotsu combines thin noodles with a rich pork broth, roast pork belly, bamboo shoots, beansprouts, egg and burnt garlic oil. Tokyo ramen uses a lighter chicken and soy broth, while extra hot Geki Kara adds Scotch bonnet to pork broth for a much fiercer bowl.
Chicken, king prawn and seasonal ramen broaden the choice beyond the signature pork recipes. Vegan diners can choose Japanese mushroom miso with konbu and shiitake broth or chilli tofu with a spicy sesame base, soy mince, greens and pickled radish. Chilled hiyashi noodle salads provide a refreshing alternative when the weather calls for something lighter than hot broth.
Gyoza, karaage, katsu curry, rainbow salads and vegetable sides allow a table to build a larger shared meal. House chilli oil and optional additions such as egg, pork belly, extra noodles or broth let each bowl be adjusted at the table. The focus on careful preparation and a lively counter makes Tonkotsu a fitting stop for ramen close to Notting Hill Gate and Portobello Market.
