Kanada-Ya 金田家B+

35 Upper St, London N1 0PN · Authentic Japanese restaurant · Islington

A top London ramen spot for rich broths and quick, casual meals—best for ramen lovers, less so for picky eaters or those seeking extensive vegetarian options.

Our take

Kanada-Ya delivers exceptional ramen broths and toppings that justify its loyal following and strong reputation in Angel. However, inconsistent execution and a notable downward trend in recent months—combined with isolated but concerning food safety reports—prevent a higher grade. The casual, energetic setting and solid service attentiveness make it a worthwhile neighborhood destination, but reliability issues keep it from competing with London's premier ramen establishments.

One caveat: Vegetarian and vegan options are limited and often underwhelming—confirmed by both reviews and menu.
