In all honesty, my boyfriend and I only came here because it was late at night and all the nearby ramen places were closed. Not that Ajisen ramen is bad, there are just better ramen places popping up all over York region and closer to me. I think they were better a few years ago when I first ate there but after this last visit, we probably won't be back any time soon.
Food: 2 stars
My boyfriend complains that the portions are too small. He orders an extra side of noodles and it's not much. I find that there is sufficient amount of noodles but...that's pretty much most of what I'm going to fill up on. I ordered the tender pork ribs ramen and yes, the pork ribs are TENDER (oh so delicious), but it would be nice if there were some other toppings other than bean sprouts and some seaweed. I thought mine would come with an egg but nope. None of the above-mentioned bothered me too much. What bugged me the most was that I found my ramen too salty. I felt so thirsty after my meal and honestly, my boyfriend nicknames me 'camel' because I'm rarely thirsty and I drink very little water in a day (REALLY bad for my overall health). So experiencing that sort of thirst after my meal really turned me off wanting to return.
Ambiance: 3 stars
Brightly lit with some booth seats. Comfortable seating area. The place is ok clean.
Service: 2.5 stars
Service was typical of Asian restaurants. They do their job. Really bugs me when they can't even smile a little bit. Any time I ask anything of them, it makes me feel like I'm inconveniencing them.
