I went for dinner with my boyfriend as we are both huge fans of their ramen. We went during their soft opening where the food was 50% (this offer ends on the 30th of June, so you rather be quick!)
This new addition in the Bone Daddies' family includes some exclusive new dishes such as the crispy duck aburamen and 7 differents kushikatsu.
I was not very familiar with the kushikatsu, but I found out that it is a Japanese dish which consist of deep-fried skewered meat, seafood and vegetables.
Nothing to do with a fatty fish & chips deep-fried batter...the kushiskatsu are made with egg, flour and panko.
They are usually served with a sauce pot which is shared among customers...in Old Street there was no sauce pot sharing, you got your own and there is a selection of different sauces.
My boyfriend and I shared three different kushikatsu, the Iberico & roast onion and the Scallop, sweet potato & shiso which will really enjoyed. However the Padrons, bacon and cheddar were a bit disappointing as they contained a lot of bacon fat and were very chewy. ( I will recommend you to avoid this last one if you go to Bone Daddies on a date as you won't look very glamorous trying to eat it!)
The ramen were perfect as usual. I went out of my confident zone for once and ordered the Curry ramen instead of the Tonkotsu and added an extra egg. My boyfriend went for the sure comfort food value: the Tonkotsu. Both broths were perfectly executed and rich in flavour.
Bone Daddies has nothing to improve! (apart maybe there locations...Brixton, Oval next? )
Their ramen completely rocks and are sure trustful value which justify the travel across London. Will I travel to East London for more kushikatsu?...Yes for sure!
