Shoryu Ramen Oxford

You're in the thick of Oxford's shopping district when you duck into Shoryu, but the moment you step through the door, you've left the high street behind. The kitchen's got serious focus—they're not messing about with fusion nonsense, just clean broths that have been simmered properly and noodles that have the right chew. The space itself is unpretentious: counter seating where you can watch the action, tables packed close enough that you're sharing the energy of other ramen enthusiasts. It's the kind of place where you come hungry and leave satisfied, without any faffing about.
