Tonkotsu Bankside is a Japanese ramen restaurant at 4 Canvey Street, close to Tate Modern, the River Thames and Shakespeare’s Globe. The casual room, outdoor tables and additional upstairs seating suit a quick lunch, an evening bowl of noodles or a larger gathering in Bankside.
Noodles, broths, gyoza and many of the supporting elements are prepared from scratch. The namesake tonkotsu broth develops its silky body through a long cooking process, then arrives with thin noodles, roast pork belly, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, seasoned egg and burnt garlic oil.
Fiery pork ramen, lighter chicken broth and plant based mushroom or chilli tofu bowls provide alternatives to the original. Katsu curry, pork or vegetable gyoza, edamame, fried chicken and seasonal specials broaden the menu for diners who want several plates beside their noodles.
Japanese beer, sake, whisky, wine, cocktails and homemade soft drinks are selected to complement the food. Bookings are available while space remains open for walk in guests, and collection and delivery provide practical options for enjoying the Bankside menu away from the restaurant.
