What: Supa Ya Ramen
In a nutshell: Next-level London ramen
Summing it all up: Chef Luke Findlay's ramen supperclub puts down permanent roots in Hackney.
The low-down
Restorative ramen is on the cards for Hackney as popular supperclub Supa Ya Ramen has opened its first permanent site in East London.
The supperclub turned restaurant is run by chef Luke Findlay who has had quite the restaurant career - he was Head Chef at Berber & Q in Spitalfields, development chef at Patty & Bun, and worked at NOPI and Tom Kerridge's Michelin-starred gastropub The Hand & Flowers.
Their original opening plans have changed somewhat post-lockdown. To start with, they'll only open for "bubble bookings" - between 6 and 8 friends can book out the restaurant for their own private dinner. There are three sittings a night, each an hour and 15 minutes and it's £25 a head.
As for the ramen, Supa Ya Ramen pride themselves on offering something a bit different - what they're calling "new-wave bowls" There'll be three permanent ramens on offer plus a weekly rotating special. Recent examples to give you an idea include:
- Root vegetable olive oil and sea salt with celeriac chashu
- Roast chicken with buttered chilli corn
- Salt beef with Iberico pork fat and supa ya pickles.
And it's all BYOB, so you can also bring your favourite tipple.
