Ajisen Ramen

This was the second time I’ve been to Ajisen Ramen. The first time I went, I thought that the ramen was quite good. This time, I ordered the EXACT same dish, and it was terrible! The broth tasted like water! I’m not sure why there is so much inconsistency with how the dish is made. The broth was very very bland, and I ended up eating some of my boyfriends ramen instead, because it tasted a lot better than mine. I left the restaurant without having my ramen craving satisfied. Don’t think I will go back again.

This is the best Ramen in Toronto
Love the food. Love the staff
Love the price. .good good good
I will tell all my friends to come
Keep the good job…

No. This place was a total miss for me. I had better ramen in airport lounges.
I am fairly open minded and understanding regarding food, but I just hated the way that they are trying to pass if off as «Japanese» when these ramen are not authentic.
I will give them some slack as they weren’t the least authentic Japanese ramen I had.
Maybe I am just spoiled: I fly to Japan a few times a year so perhaps I am accustomed to better ramen.

A pretty good dining experience. I came in for a weekday lunch recently and wanted ramen with a miso base, but they ran out so I picked another dish at random. I’m not even sure what I got, but it had mignon in it and it tasted great. The servers greet and thank you for coming in japanese, which is pretty neat. Just raise your hand up and they’ll get to you for any other needs.
At the end of the meal, you get a stamp card to get a bowl of ramen for free after you spend enough at Ajisen. Overall, it was a decent dining experience.

Just love it… the best ramen in Toronto
The spicy beef. u guys need to try it… the best… the staff is very nice… food is goood… I willl come to eat everyweek

their service is awesome!
we didn’t need to wait food coming:)
Servers are so friendly.
the taste of ramen was like real Japanese !!
Of course I’ll come there again.

The service was so quick, we didn’t have to wait for our food that long, and they came as soon as possible if we needed anything, plus the stamp card is a very nice bonus :)

I LOVE this place. I’ve been to quite a few of the deemed «best» ramen places in Toronto (Kenzo, Santosei, etc) and I beg to differ. Ajisen Ramen is my favourite. The steak teppanyaki is to die for — so juicy and so good. The ramen is also delicious despite the fact that they do use spaghetti noodles the soup is absolutely flavourful and the portions are extremely satisfying especially for their price ($ 11.99 for steak AND ramen?! Yes please). I gave this place a 4 rather than a 5 because although the service is fast I find that half the servers there don’t seem to understand a lot of English. We had a waitress come to our table 3 times slightly confused with a credit card terminal asking if we paid yet (um what!). Besides that, I love this place and will come here many times.

Great service and filling portions. The seafood medley ramen was delicious and also very affordable, as well as every other dish on their menu.

Stop by several times for lunch or dinner.
All dishes I tries were delicious

Loved the food. Ordered the Tender Pork Rib Ramen and it was delecious from the first bite to the late. Everything about it I loved. I was with 7 other people amd everyone got there food about the same time so there really wasnt any waiting.
The staff were fast paced and got everything we needed to feel the experience of the restaurant.
The prices were very very reasonable and the quality was great. I would definately go there again when im in chinatown.

Pretty good experience, you may find that this location may be hard to find because the front of the establishment looks very similar to the surrounding area and is not very particular.
So Ive only been to this location once but I was with a medium sized group and was able to see the quality of food by the four dishes that were served. The ramen I had was salty pork and, despite its name, was not overly salty! Rather, it was a deliciously savoury! If you’re looking for a quiet intimate place to eat for lunch or dinner, this may not be the right place for you. However, if you don’t mind a little noise coming on the side with your dish, then Ajisen may be the place for you!

I had the BBQ pork ramen which was pretty basic.
Ramen was okay… noodles didn’t feel like ramen noodles and the broth felt too strongly flavoured. Meat slices were a bit small and the egg was hardboiled.
Service was pretty good. Was during lunch so they gave the bills out first and you paid while you eat. Food came out pretty quickly too.

I tried both the ajisen ramen and the koji salt premium ramen. The ajisen ramen had a stronger flavor and the meat was very tender. The koji salt had a lighter soup. I would recommend both! The flavors are balanced. If I would recommend anything, it is that the noodle be drained properly. Some of my noodles on one of my soup was stuck together but that was a small matter.
The ambience is casual. The owner walks around and greets everyone. So down to earth! The ramen came to our table in less than 15 minutes. The payment was also quick. There is also a lady who walks around with toothpicks and asks if there is anything we need. We came in around 8pm on a Saturday if that helps others decide. Really loved the experience!

Fantastic ramen place. Food was spicy as intended and the broth was very favorable. Would highly recommend his place.

Best place for ramen!!! If you want delicious meal come to this location. Have been coming here for over 6 years — never disappointed. Love it!

Service is friendly, fast, and attentive. Menu is a lot more extensive than Kinton and Sansotei. The prices are also cheaper and I found the ramen to be just as delicious as Sansotei’s and better than Kinton’s. Tea is also complimentary.
There’s also a loyalty card but it has a 4 month expiry date. Earn one stamp for every $ 10 spent, collect 14 stamps for a free house special ramen.

So we’ve been to this franchise before in other states, and we found this in the heart of downtown Chinatown in Toronto.
Some days you just need some spicy ramen, it’s comfort food! I can deal with spicy pretty well! Choosing 100 degrees was a bit much for me, whoa! «Sumimasen, omizu okudosai!» Whooooo my introductory Japanese class came in handy!
Food was great! Manager/​owner, you could tell this dude has been around the block a few times, he rocked! Great job bro! But… what absolutely kills the review is that he unfortunately hires two Japanese girls who DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH!!’ FAIL!
Could not understand us, we could not understand them! Bubble tea! Ok you want tapioca… uh! The tapioca IS the bubbles, asked me if I wanted black or green tea, I said two times, original milk bubble tea… ok just bring me anything, just go do something or bring me someone who can communicate.
How they can hire Japanese servers who don’t speak English is beyond me! And they are in Chinatown, well they don’t speak Chinese either! Anyhow, the manager had to take care of half the entire experience.
Dude! It’s Chinatown in downtown Toronto, I’m sure there are more waitress’ than cops! Hire some who speak English!

I love the Tom yum lamb teppanyaki ramen! Especially with the side of spicy pork!
The ramen here is really good and the bubble tea is a huge glass!

I love this place. Ramen is delicious. Friendly, attentive and fast service. Highly recommend during a cold winter day/​night. Good option after a night of drinking! I’m almost certain this cured my hangover :$
I highly recommend this place. The manager (?) is also really friendly.

Les sièges sont rooooses, tous roooses. Non mais mis à part ce détail plus que flashy, Ajisen Ramen propose une grande variété de Ramen, soupes traditionelles japonaises.
Service rapide et courtois.
Pinnnnk, the seats are all pinnnk here. No seriously besides that tiny colored notice, Ajisen Ramen is a restaurant specialised in Ramen, traditional japanese soup.
Staff is nice and quick.
