Very disappointed with their ramen.
The broth is purely soya sauce water and the noodles are too soft. It doesn't even make you full...

I'd heard and seen a couple of Japanese Canteen's dotted around London, and finally I got the chance to go!I opted for the Chicken Katsu Curry which was pretty good! I'm not a big fan of the Katsu Curry but I thought I'd give it another go. The curry to rice ratio was proportionate and it was a decent sized portion. Not only were the chicken pieces of a good size, the vegetables were also tasty and well cooked. I've never actually had a Katsu Curry with any vegetables other than onions in them so it was nice to have sweet potato, leeks etc.I'm definitely going to go back - I want to try some of their Udon!
Be the first to ReplyHad TWO horrible lunches here.
What is great about this place is how efficient their ordering system is. Even with the huge lunch rush everyones orders were delivered quickly. That's about it. The staff are horribly rude and unpleasant to deal with. The food is atrocious. I tried the mushroom chili fried rice which was oily and the most bizarre texture. ย Another time I tried the ramen noodles with the lemongrass coconut broth. The broth was ย vile and the noodles were overcooked and mushy. I can't imagine why it's so busy because the food is really not worth it.

I went to a Japanese restaurant and ordered the Korean fried chicken (or KFC as they refer to it). And I don't regret my decision one bit.The serving was large-- lots of yummy sauced fried chicken on top of steamed white rice cooked perfectly. ย A little Asian slaw came on the side, which was ok, not great.The chicken was great though. A really good flavor with the perfect amount of spiciness. Yummy stuff. I'll be back.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious warm lunch served very fast.
You can't go wrong with the chicken curry, especially if you get the mixed grain and puy lentil base. I love it and I come here all the time.

Came here for the first time in a long time and tried their new soup ramen dish with ground pork. It comes in a short, round container so you get a lot less soup than you would have with any of the pho places or Chi Noodle's soup noodle dishes, but it is crammed full of noodle. In terms of what else in there, there are some shaved pieces of cucumber, and a few bean sprouts, celery, and pieces of green onion, but otherwise there is a plentiful helping of pork and that's it. The soup is quite good though, opaque and reminding me a lot of the soup at Ippudo the other night. Overall it's a solid dish and the best part is that it's only 4.95!I first heard of this place when my colleague said it was her favourite place for chicken katsu curry. Personally, I don't think the curry is anything special, except that you can get it in a bento and the curry comes in a separate container so you can pour it over the rice itself. And you have the option of brown rice, which can be substituted for an extra 50p. I have also tried the Korean fried chicken, which I thought was really good, and the stir fried noodles, which I remember thinking had the wrong flavour profile... but then again, I haven't found a yakisoba that I like in this country.Service is extremely efficient at lunchtime and there are never more than 3 or 4 people in the queue to place an order, and food takes less than 5 minutes to come out on the other side. This is a tad less authentic than Ribon but far better than Wasabi and Itsu, which I try to avoid all costs.

HUUUUGE portions! So you WILL get the 2pm slump because of the amount of rice/ carbs you'll get! But rejoice for sauce lovers because they are really generous with the sauce here- at least compared to itsu and wasabi and that! I opted for the veg curry and it's your big standard Japanese curry- it's not the most stellar thing in the world, nor is it cheap. I can't give it more than twoStars. I just can't. And they do multi grain rice so you can feel a bit healthier but not really because the size is soooo not a healthy sized portion. Can someone please share with me? Thanks :) I ate on sitting by the window and it's quite a nice little spot but it's a bit noisy especially with the lunch crowd so not exactly the oasis of calm that I'm looking for at lunch! ( haven't found any spots yet- but then again this is the city!)

I used to love this place for its tasty food and generous portions but they're just getting smaller and smaller and the prices keep going up and up. I love their Korean Fried Chicken and when it first came out it was amazing! Loads of sauce, piled up to the top of the carton and at ยฃ5, it was a bargain. Now it's gone up, there is less sauce, less in the box and it's gone up to ยฃ6. I also used to love their DanDan noodles but when I had it last, it was so greasy and had absolutely no flavour. Love them there and used to go at least once a week but think it will be a less regular thing now. however, if you're tempted to go to Burro Burrito, go
Be the first to ReplyOk there are quite a few JapCans in London, but I believe
Ok there are quite a few JapCans in London, but I believe this is the original and best. Forget the rest of the menu. Thes is only one thing you need to buy from here, it's the thing that made JC so huge and why the queue is out the door on the Fridays. I don't wanna think of the profit margins these guys are making on this but id think they easily sell 1000 of these on a Friday. What am I referring to? The four magic letters in my office: JCKC. Japanese Canteen Katsu Curry. Oh yeah baby, this is The Shit.I'd admit the quality has dipped every so slightly in recent years. Why? The heyday is gone and recession times are here, but the flavour is still here and this is miles better than Wasabi's attempt. If you're feeling particularly brave, go large for an extra ยฃ3. Massive meal. Worried about white starchy rice? You can now go all out and get sprouted grains and brown rice for an extra 50p. Not a bad way to spend ยฃ9.45 on lunch. Mmmm.
Be the first to ReplyI've walked by Japanese Canteen many times on either end of
I've walked by Japanese Canteen many times on either end of the lunch rush and always thought it looked like a pretty poor effort. Spartan walls and seating, a menu that looks like it was slapped on as an afterthought with paper flyers adding a few new dishes that just didn't fit anywhere else, and staff that looked like they were just as likely to slap you upside the head as they were to serve you.But damn, this place comes alive during that magical 12-1pm lunch hour. You know those scenes in movies right before the 3 o'clock bell rings to let out school? It's eerily still and quiet, a random frog croaks in the distance, and the scene just screams out for something, anything to happen. Suddenly, BAM, there are people everywhere shouting, talking, and generally participating wholeheartedly in the chaos of everyday life. That's just what happens to Japanese Canteen during the lunch rush with every seat the slightly cavernous space taken, people propping their food on the smallest surface capable of supporting it, and lines out the door. And then as the hour ends, everyone just fades away.The staff are still a far cry from warm and friendly, but they are coldly efficient and mow through the line at rapid speed. The kitchen (hidden behind the wall with a small door the only connection to the dining area) is likewise filled with hyperactive chefs dishing out meals almost faster than the 4 person wide queue can order. I'm slightly concerned as to what goes on back there and I think the trend towards more open kitchens is the way to go. For lunch though, I'm content to get in and out as fast as possible so not much of a gripe.Price-wise, it's a bit expensive and slightly smaller portion than the nearby Wasabi when it comes to katsu curry. A regular portion will cost you ยฃ6.95 with a large portion requiring a ยฃ3 supplement. JC does offer a choice of chicken, pork, or prawn and sticks a good amount of veggies into their sauce which gives it a one-up on Wasabi. I wonder what else they put in though as I had a slight allergic reaction for a few hours after eating it and I'm not allergic to any food as far as I know...Thinking back, I'm not sure I'm really up for the mania and price of JC for lunch as ยฃ7 can buy you a helluva lot more food at Porterford Butchers just down the street. Still, if you are craving katsu curry it's likely to be your best bet in the area.
