Kanada-Ya Carnaby is a Japanese ramen bar at 28 Foubert’s Place in the West End. The group was founded by Kanada Kazuhiro in Yukuhashi in southern Japan and is particularly known for tonkotsu broth and carefully prepared noodles. Diners can choose the firmness of their noodles, from very firm to soft, to shape the bowl to their preference.
The original tonkotsu combines pork bone broth with chashu pork belly, spring onion and wood ear fungus. Tonkotsu X adds chicken bone broth and yuzu soy seasoning, while spicy yuzu, truffle, extra chashu and hot minced pork create further variations. Chicken broth and a mushroom and soy milk bowl with tofu provide alternatives to the traditional pork base.
Small plates include chicken karaage, fried oyster mushrooms, breaded prawns, pan fried gyoza and agedashi tofu. Chashu pork over steamed rice, chilled soba salad and onigiri offer lighter or shareable additions. Larger dishes extend to abura soba with thick noodles and sesame sauce, Japanese curry with chicken, prawns or pumpkin croquette, and salmon with chilled buckwheat noodles.
Toppings such as marinated egg, pickled mustard greens, ginger, seaweed, sesame, black garlic oil and bamboo shoots allow further customisation. Matcha, black sesame and berry mille crepe sit alongside mochi ice cream, matcha fondant and yuzu chocolate cheesecake. Japanese sencha, genmaicha and roasted hojicha tea provide a fitting finish to the meal.
