Shobu – Ramen – Nottingham
The flurries of rain and cooler temperatures have accelerated my autumnal wishes for a hearty broth. What luck that Shobu opened this month. Tasnack, that beforehand occupied this web site subsequent to the cat cafe, was somewhat run down and dingy however the Shobu group have given it a beautiful makeover. Easy however trendy Japanese vibes. For a small place it has an actual mixture of seating, tables for two, excessive counter, low counter and cubicles. The menu is pleasingly small, and uniquely stylised. There’s a give attention to only a few variations of Shoyu and Tonkotsu ramens with just a few different choices.

Surprisingly the bowls had been somewhat tall and slim which meant it was a tough to eat than ultimate in addition to not delivering the largest portion measurement. It ended up felt somewhat dear and, having been at lunchtime, there was no deal or cheaper possibility, one thing which may make me extra inclined to return. The service was somewhat gradual and some missed steps, e.g. our delicate drinks being delivered after we acquired all our meals. I loved Shobu’s conventional setting and strategy. While the ramen impressed it would take extra to problem On a regular basis Individuals who nonetheless stay the highest of the tree in Nottingham.
