Was starving on my first night in Markham and really wanted some ramen. This place came up on my list and I headed over. The food was really good and came out pretty quickly. The staff was friendly and eager to help.

Their Ebi Fry Ramen set with spicy miso base is so delicious! Great unami flavour, I finished every last bite. Probably the best ramen I've had in Toronto. The service was good as well. Will come again with my friends!

Delicious Food, Excellent Service, and Cozy Atmosphere My partner and I had a fantastic dining experience at Ajisen Ramen. He ordered the black garlic steak, and I had the pork katsu ramen—both dishes were absolutely delicious. We were seated and served immediately, with attentive and friendly service throughout. Despite being a small dining spot, the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, making the experience even better. The food was flavorful, and we can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend for anyone craving great ramen and a welcoming, relaxed environment!

I have been to a few Ajisen locations now and this one is pretty decent. I find it cleaner than other locations. I got my usual spicy beef ramen and it was amazing as always. This location wasn’t heavy on the salt like other locations. Service was alright I wish they would’ve walked by to check on us. Took a while to flag them down to get the bill. Regardless I’d still come back.

What can I say. Customer service being top notch is only the tip of the iceberg. We had to unexpectedly wait for a table and the manager not only apologized for the wait but greeted us with an app and tea on the house. This spoke volumes to me about how they prioritize customer happiness. The food? Definitely one of the best I've had. Big shout outs to Luk for attending us.

Ajisen Ramen is a gem for anyone seeking an exceptional ramen experience. Located conveniently in the bustling heart of the city, this ramen haven offers not only delectable dishes but also top-notch service that keeps you coming back for more. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that your dining experience is smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to make recommendations truly enhance the overall experience. The food at Ajisen Ramen is nothing short of spectacular. I opted for the classic Ajisen Ramen, and it exceeded my expectations. The broth was rich and flavorful, simmered to perfection with a depth that only comes from hours of careful preparation. The noodles were perfectly al dente, with just the right amount of bite, complementing the broth beautifully. The toppings were fresh and plentiful. The tender slices of chashu pork melted in your mouth, and the soft-boiled egg, marinated to perfection, added a wonderful richness to the dish. The addition of bamboo shoots, green onions, and a hint of garlic oil provided a delightful mix of textures and flavors. Ajisen Ramen also offers a variety of other dishes that are equally impressive. The gyoza were crisp and juicy, and the takoyaki had a perfect balance of crispiness on the outside and a tender, flavorful interior. Overall, Ajisen Ramen delivers an exceptional dining experience. The combination of outstanding food and stellar service makes it a must-visit for ramen lovers and anyone seeking a memorable meal. Whether you're a seasoned ramen aficionado or a first-time visitor, Ajisen Ramen promises a delightful culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.

I like the Ajisen spicy ramen they have. Their broth is flavorful, although it is recommended to order extra noodles or side dish, because the portions maybe too little for some people. I like the fact that the broth tastes spicy, and how they can provide bird s eye chilli there . If you like spicy foods , I recommend getting the Ajisen spicy and biting birds eye chilli. I ate 2.5 and I was in hellish heaven P.s. I think the takoyaki is good, but nothing special. Just good ol takoyaki.

I have been eating at this restaurant for several years when I travel from Quebec to Toronto. I can eat there 5 to 10 times during my week-long stay and the flavors from year to year are always there, the service is fast, the decoration has been recently redone and the owner treats these customers very carefully and is not afraid to help the staff in place to ensure smooth service, very small restaurant but the service is so fast that You can eat there in less than 15 minutes and be ready to go.

This is the best location weve found. They just make the food better than they do at other locations. I dont know how or why. There is plenty of parking. If you cant get a spot out front, theres a ton of parking behind it. Its busy but we have never had to wait for a table. Im not sure if weve just avoided peak times. The service is excellent. Its a chain, but it feels like a mom and pop shop at this location. I think thats why the food abs service is so good. Kid-friendliness: We brought our newborn. They were helpful in getting her comfortable.

I was staying at the Delta hotel in Markham, Ontario and ordered a Shoyu sliced pork ramen via Uber eats from Ajisen Ramen. I ordered around 10:00pm and it was delivered in about 20 minutes, which was great. When I picked it up in the lobby and got back to my room, I noticed there was no utensils. I was pretty mad about this and called the restaurant and asked why they didn t include utensils. They explained when you order via Uber eats, you need to state include utensils. So this issue was not the restaurants fault. Then I went to the front desk of the hotel and explained what happened and asked if they had utensils. They had some bamboo utensils and gave me a fork and spoon. If you take a look at the two pictures of the fork and spoon, you will see the spoon is flat, so you cannot eat soup with it. Apart from this mess with utensils, the ramen was really good. I ate all the noodles with the fork, but had to drink the ramen from the bowl, so it was not an enjoyable experience. I don t have any complaints about the ramen and I d order it again. However, I d make sure to request utensils from whatever delivery service I was using. The price was very reasonable for $21 CAD

I recently came back on a late thursday night with a friend after a session of badminton. It was one of the only places around that was still open. I was initially reluctant because my previous experiences at this resto made me think that Ajisen as a franchise was just ok overall. Steak teppanyaki: Was actually cooked medium rare! The end pieces were still a lil tough due to the cut and quality of the beef prolly not being the greatest but it was juicy and I got my protein in. Black garlic tender pork ribs ramen: So you can change your broth at Ajisen which is pretty cool. This was supposed to come w/ the original broth but I asked to swap for black garlic tonkotsu broth. The noodles were surprisingly firmer compared to my previous visits and the broth actually came out piping hot as opposed to lukewarm. Idk if they just hired new/better chefs in the back or if late night is when they serve the best grub. Either way, I received significantly better food than the last couple times I visited this place way back. The other thing I really liked was the tableside fried garlic that you could top up your bowl with. I literally unscrewed the lid and emptied out a third of the fried garlics into my bowl. SOOO GOOD. Although it was an improved experience, I still dont think the ramen is better than an authentic ramen spot. For that, I award 3.5 stars.

I ve never left any bad reviews on google but today was pretty eye opening. Went with my friend today because of the 50% off deal, literally the first time here in Ajisen Toronto branch. I got there at 6:45 pm left my name and phone number at the cashier and was told that the wait time was 30-45 mins. The manager told me not the leave the restaurant but the wait time was long and I was waiting for my friend to park so I left the restaurant. Once my friend got here, I told him about the wait time and we walked to the plaza behind it for a walk to kill time. 20 mins later, we went back and I walked to the cashier to check the waitlist. The waitlist was gone so I asked the manager about it. He didn t even check the list and he questioned me saying Did I not tell you not to leave the place? And gave me an attitude which left me very confused if I made a mistake here! I mean he did tell me not to leave the restaurant but the waitlist was long and he got my number so if anything he could call me. I did not see a problem why couldn t I ask for the list as well. He then told me not to leave the restaurant and told me to wait at the door but my friend was still outside so I tried to go and grab him at the door. When I opened the door, the manager called me out across the room telling me not to leave, but I was just attempting to grab my friend. Plus after such super questionable hospitality, I didn t even want to dine here. But my friend and I came here for the deal so we stayed. After we got our seat by the window, two ladies thought we cut the line and started whining in another language, not knowing I actually speak their language. I did not have to go through this entire experience if the manager had a better lining system (e.g. giving out number slips) But my point is, I didn t come here for such service and experience. My friend and I ordered two noodles and three sides (takoyaki, karaage and pork cutlet). The cutlet was good but the ramen only lived up to its discounted price. I tried not to be biased here but I hope this review helps. I m pretty sure I was not the only one who s fed up by the service because while I was in line, a lady stomped out of the restaurant saying she didn t even want to dine here anymore (but I had no clue what happened there). And another lady talked to me telling me how the manager asked for her number but also explained how he wasn t going to call when the table was ready, which made me confused again while I was in line. I think this place needs a better managing system here. The other young female Cantonese waitress was really nice though. She is the only person who s actually providing good service here.

We want here on Sunday around 11ish it was pretty quiet, I guess it was still early for lunch. The portion of ramen is very decent and delicious as usual. Kept up with the taste since they open almost 20 years ago. Menu has definitely grown since. The flavour is just perfect not salty at all. As I find many ramen places now just way too salty. Would have been 5 star for the food except the curry rice which lacking the curry taste and not enough curry it was very dry (as you can see in picture can t even see the curry sauce) and the rice was hard according to my husband. The rice comes with miso soup but the soup itself lacks flavour as well. Vegetarian options: They have 3 ramen and 2 rice that are Vagans. Parking: Limit parking at the front of the store but plenty of parking at the back. Kid-friendliness: There s area in the restaurant that I would say it s safe for young children to sit.

The name of this restaurant is exactly the same as the one in China, so we wanted to try to see if the taste is close to the Chinese restaurant. The result is a bit satisfying. The food tastes really good, and it meets 90% of the standard. We ordered Ajisen Ramen and Beef Fried Rice. The chewiness of the noodles and the taste of the soup are very close to those made in China. The beef flavor in the fried rice seems to be a little bit weaker. It stands to reason that the quality of Canadian beef is better than that of China, so I infer that the problem is that the beef marinating process is not optimal. In addition, we feel a bit regretful that the restaurant does not provide the soft-boiled eggs that Ajisen Ramen is always famous for in China.

was there couple times last year, finally remembered to leave a review. Food portions are good, tastes alright, not amazing but its above average, does worth the price. Service wise pretty awesome, that chobby asian waiter who gave me good advices on my order every time and was fast with water, tall waiter was abit cold but very on point with his service, even cracked some bad jokes which were weirdly funny. overall a good fast food place that gives way better experience than other fast food joints at similar price range.

This busy restaurant offers many takes on ramen dishes. I had the ramen with steak and an add on seasoned egg. The ramen bowl was spicy but not too much so. The egg went nicely with the broth, which was tasty. The steak however was chewy and not recommended. Lunch for two was $40 before gratuity. I will return but will skip the steak next time.

Takoyaki is always good, but Steak Don and Tender Pork Don is just ok, plain white rice on the bottom with dry burned steak and the other one is three pieces of Tender Port on top with no sauce on rice and they put too much rice. Ramen might be better than rice.

I used to eat Ajisen Ramen in Hong Kong for many years. It keeps the standard in here. We 3 of us ordered Ajisen Ramen tonight for each of us. We also ordered side dishes including the Karaage (Deep fried Chicken) and Deep Fried Porkchop. For the ramen broth, it is full of garlic aroma and creamy. The owner is very friendly and the server is very nice & efficient. Although this is a small restaurant, we feel the warmth in here, especially the warm greeting, and a bowl of hot ramen in a cold snowy winter.

Just ask the wait staff. They are friendly, helpful, and attentive. Kid-friendliness: Very accomodating. Super comfy high chair for the toddler, the kind you can place on the seat, so the kid also feels included.

If you are looking for a true ramen, this is the ideal restaurant for you to enjoy it. I recommend the takoyaki and the spicy beef and chicken ramen, they are my favorite dishes, the service is very good. Today I ordered the crab salad and I loved it! Dont let them tell you, better go and try it yourself

Really don t want to give a bad review to a restaurant. But I hope this helps others. Egg was cold (not sure if they serve cold eggs here, but never have had cold eggs on our ramens), servers were so rude to us, they didn t place our ramen s bowls softly on purpose, I believe it came with an attitude. I guess because I came about 40 minutes before closing? When I was eating, I got asked to prepay for my order, it was exactly 11:42 PM, meanwhile they close at 00:00? Hope restaurant s managers see this!

Delicious, I love this ramen spot! They made it very well, and gave me 3 pieces of egg. Yum! Hands down will always be my go to for a bowl of ramen, as I know the taste and quality is always in each bowl. I have yet to be disappointed when visiting any of the Ajisen locations.

This ramen shop has been alive for so many years, it must be doing well. I remember having it a few years ago and did not enjoy it. Gave it another shot today after soooo many years and it was actually not as bad as I remembered! Food came out hot, and had a generous about of meat. The flavours were great. Wish they would serve hot tea instead of cold water, but that s just my personal preference and to me, more authentic Japanese. Probably wouldn t order the potato cakes (croquettes) again. $5.99 is pretty pricey for it. Parking: Parking is hard to find - you might just have to park in the main lot in the back and walk around to the store front.

The broth is so good. I had the Ajisen Ramen. Price is reasonable. Service is good. Few parking but enough.. Its almost at the corner of warden and Steeles. Not so crowded.

Disappointing food. The steak that came with the tomyum ramen was chewy and overcooked. The curry fries was supposed to have the curry sauce on the side but they just dumped it all over so the fries were already soggy by the time they got here. They also gave us the wrong order, good thing we caught it and didnt begin eating. Not sure if they were just renovating but they have a bunch of old cardboard boxes just lying around and folded up behind seats near the window.

I can only say that the food is not bad, but they are basically semi-finished products. The ramen soup is all seasoned. The beef noodles for 15.99 use hot pot meat, but the quantity is not bad. But Im more curious. Is the water expensive? They dont even refill it.

Overall a great ramen place. You can change the broth regardless of what ramen you choose. I got the Shoyu Ajisen ramen, filet mignon ramen and karaage and fried dumplings on the side. The broth flavour could be better. I wish they used mayo for the karaage (which were tasty and big) and soy sauce for the dumplings instead of using Thai plum sauce, which isnt super authentic. Good place to come for a bite to eat and fill up that belly. Nice service.

A great place to go for ramen if you are night owl ! Ajisen Ramen s pork ramen with Tom Yum soup base offers a delightful fusion of savory pork and tangy Tom Yum flavors, creating a unique and satisfying taste. The thick pork slices add a hearty texture to the dish, complementing the rich broth. If you prefer a more traditional option, their thick pork slices ramen with pork soup base provides a classic and comforting experience, showcasing the depth of pork flavors in a well-crafted broth. Overall, Ajisen Ramen s diverse offerings cater to different preferences, making it a versatile choice for ramen enthusiasts. Parking: big parking lot beside the restaurant

Ajisen is reliably good. The portions are large and the manager is friendly and helpful. We received complimentary tea and spring rolls. I ordered the vegetarian ramen with spicy tom yum broth. It was delicious. There is a good variety of veggies including black fungus, enoki, leeks, broccoli, corn and fried tofu. The broth was both creamy and spicy. The noodles were chewy and filling. Looking forward to trying their other broths.

We were greeted with a smile, he brought my little niece some egg rolls while we waited for our food which was very nice of him. The food was AMAZING!

First time dining at Ajisen Ramen and the experience is 4 stars! Food was delicious. We had the Ajisen Ramen and Beef Teppanyaki. Original broth is delicious! I like the garlicy taste cause it reminds us of the Beef Mami back home. Washroom needs attention..by a lot! Music while dining is okay. Parking is good. Staff were nice and quick. Food were served right away. Hot and fresh! Please mind the wiping of tables cause some food crumbs were flying off the next table. We actually asked for disposable chopsticks as we prefer staff that are cleaning tables be wearing gloves so when they serve napkins and chopsticks to new customers, its safe from cleaning solution or other dirt. We enjoyed the food but will go at another Ajisen Ramen location.

3rd time to eat here, first review.. first two visits i wasnt into giving reviews -especially taking foodies! but, Im happy to recommend this place to people looking for objective data for this branch (nov 2022) the 3rd visit we got seaweed salad, steak teppanyaki and for the main we had the ajisen ramen and the pork katsu curry rice.. both appetizers were great -like portion and seasoning for the seaweed, and the beef teppanyaki was superb! i intend to order more apps next visit.. the portion is generous for both ramen and curry rice! so dont over order! i dont complain much on the ambience generally when i eat out.. but i hope you guys try the stuff we ordered, theyre all very good. (curry has small, free miso soup, way better tasting than other japanese restaurants) notice i didnt review customer service.. well, if youre accustomed to chinese-run places, it fits the usual service: fast almost impatient vibe,. no courteous greetings..
