Here for the ramen

Tomoko means “friendly child”.

Founded in 2021, Tomoko was born from a love of Japanese food and the everyday dining culture found in Japan. Our inspiration comes from the traditional shokudo and local noodle bars you might discover while wandering the streets of Tokyo. We’ve brought a little of that spirit to Tomoko – a relaxed, welcoming place to enjoy good food.

At the heart of the menu is our ramen. Over the years, we’ve developed our own approach to what makes a great bowl. Slow-simmered broths build depth and flavour, seasoning brings balance, noodles provide texture, and aromatic oils and signature toppings add their own character. Each element is carefully prepared and considered, coming together to create a bowl that’s distinctly Tomoko.

While ramen traditions remain an important part of what we do, we’re always exploring new flavours, techniques and ideas. That curiosity shapes the way we cook, bringing our own perspective to familiar favourites and adding a little Tomoko twist along the way.
