| - a lot of menu choices but the broth is too salty a lot of the time for my palate. steak is too tough (someone mentioned that and i agree). the gyoza is okay, the Japanese style fried chicken is really good though and this location does decent bubble tea for cheap (not all Ajisen restaurants have it). you have to park on the street which is hit or miss in availability. although it is a ramen shop, it is chinese run and you have menu options that include kimchi, so along with the bubble tea, you get quite an asian experience here. service can be slow, so dont come thinking it is fast food.
if you really want a good bowl of ramen, Kenzo is your better bet -- Korean run, but the ramen and its soup base are more authentic. No bubble tea and less menu items, but it is a more honest bowl of ramen (newspaper article said that the korean chef trained in japan on ramen). Kenzo is the same plaza as the Figure Skating Boutique which is south of Steeles on the west side of Yonge. There is parking at the back, a little in the front. If you are craving noodles, ramen noodles, if you can spare the time to drive north a bit more, Kenzo is worth it.
