Kokoro Sutton

You'll find yourself queuing on the High Street most evenings, which tells you everything you need to know. Kokoro does what it does without pretension: steaming bowls of ramen with broth that's actually been somewhere near a stockpot, tender chashu pork, and noodles that have the right chew. The donburi game is equally solid. There's not much faffing about with the décor—it's functional, warm, the kind of place where you're here for the food, not the Instagram moment. Prices won't break the bank either, making it properly accessible rather than the pricey Japanese spots creeping into other parts of London.
