| - Seems to be in a pretty good location; nestled within a plaza with a whole slew of other restaurants, this place is consistently busy. However, I felt that the actual ramen was disappointing. While I didn't find the (miso based) broth to be too salty, the pork slices in the pork ramen ($9.50) were overwhelmingly stingy. Instead of the thick and substantial pieces of pork you'd find in places like Kinton, Sanostei and Ryu's, Ajisen's reminded me of deli ham (that's how thin they were). Additionally, the egg add-ons were also more expensive than other places downtown, which is surprising; $1 for an extra half egg. However, they do have two types of egg: one seems to be a plain hard boiled while the other is the more typical seasoned, soft boiled variety.
I also tried the takoyaki, which, again, disappointed. While flavour was alright, the balls were tiny!!! For $6, I really expected better. They came in a plate of 5. Bonito flakes were also scarce.
