Loved the noodles I had their yesterday
I had ajisen long time ago in cbd, like about 6 years ago and it was nothing like this. I was impressed with their ipad ordering. I have to say their price isnt cheap, most ramen are like $16 and even more for fancier ones. I had beef kimchi ramen and it was beautiful! It was my first time having kimchi ramen and I would say it complements ramen really well! I would say the portion is just enough for me. So overall, it isnt cheap but it has the quality. So glad to know I can get my ramen fix from this franchise.
The ramen was delicious and filling. The service was also very quick and efficient. Highly recommend!
This was the second time to eat here.
Absolutely lovely staff, good service
Great food. Fresh and tasty and very quick service.
Decent, consistent ramen. Not the best/porkiest broth around but is lifted with seasonings. Great portion size/value for money
Ordered the spicy pork ramen and was very nice. I rate this 4 stars with consideration that it’s a chain restaurant; the food isn’t totally authentic or high quality- but it’s filling, good value, and tasty.
As a franchise, I’ve noticed ajisen have consistency and reliability.
Definitely intend to return.
Calling all Ramen lovers 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Ajisen Ramen has a huge variety of ramen which will satisfy all tastebuds! The food is absolutely delicious, reasonably priced and the serving portions are huge! I had the chargilled beef ramen and would 100% order it again.
Always a safe net of mine in Kingsway! I love their food! Super tasty & affordable! Recommend if you are unsure of what to eat around kingsway! Definitely give it a go! Nothing too special however the food is always delicious every time I come!
The ramen here is pretty good. The ramen is pretty basic but I still love it. The egg is so good and I usually get the chasyu ramen or kimchi ramen. The egg is the best part of the whole dish tbh
My kids just loved their food, especially their Green tea spider drink. Their servings are decent size and we ordered Set meals to save some money. The fried rice, kutsu ramen and a glass of tea is Set B and the dumplings, Bbq pork Ramen and green tea is another Set A. We had an easy dinner, just nice for all of us. Btw, there are lotsa of new food on the menu..more Chinese style. I will try them next time. Looks good.
Delicious ramen with such great flavors. Noodles were a little soft but otherwise a hearty meal. Would have liked to feel a little bit more appreciated by the woman that greeted us, but otherwise staff were efficient. Will be returning !!
Always a yummy dish. Always a seat whenever I go!! Fast service and the broth is always A++, i get spicy beef and the meat is so tender and it literally melts in your mouth. The spice within the broth is perfect and seasoned to perfection. Can always count on aijisen for a hearty ramen ❣️❣️
This is the best Ajisen ramen outlet i've been to so far, and I loooove Ajisen. The staff were great and they actually asked me how I would like my beef chargrilled. That's never been an option offered to me at another outlet. The service was quick, the place was clean and the food was delicious. 👍
An easy and quick place if you’re wanting tasty ramen, the restaurant can get loud during peak times and it can be difficult to grab the waitress’ attentions sometimes but they do their best and food is always consistent.
Generous portions at reasonable prices that will leave you satisfied and filled. Some faves are the Salmon or Karaage bento boxes, Karaage ramen and Spicy pork spare ribs ramen. Although located on the busy Kingsway strip, the wait isn’t always too long even at peak meal times. Quick fast meals if you’re pressed for time.
We often come here for a quick tasty ramen. Portion sizes are decent so you don't leave feeling hungry. They do have lack of dessert items though, only a selection of sesame or green tea ice-cream. Food comes out at a acceptable pace, customer service otherwise is very average.
This is one of my favourite places to dine. If you want a quick,healthy meal with a great atmosphere go here. The wait staff are amazing. Dumplings are great however I can't forget their amazing Raman tastes amazing feels fresh. While your there don't forget to have their mango smoothie. Only downfall is the seats don't have backings so my back gets a bit sore when I go there. I've been over 10 times and not a complaint.
Consistency is the word I'd use to describe Ajisen Ramen.
From the curries, to the rice dishes I've never had a bad meal off the menu. Me and my partner are absolutely obsessed with the Sizzling Chicken, and every time it tastes the exact same, it's consistently great every time.
Prices are reasonable, food is great, staff are efficient, always a pleasant experience.
If you're looking for a quick, satisfying ramen hit and don't feel like travelling, definitely give this place a try. I usually go the Samurai Combo (1x Ramen, 1x Entree & 1x Green tea). The Tom Yum Ramen never disappoints and is definitely my go to, with an entree of Ox Tongue. Now the Ox Tongue is definitely not a stand out but you can barely ever go wrong with Ox Tongue; request mayo and add soy sauce to the mayo as a dip for the Ox Tongue. I've tried majority of the Ramens here and definitely always recommend the Tom Yum ramen. Bit annoying how these places only give you one tissue as if it's enough when eating something soup based. To enjoy your ramen you've gotta slurp and if you think two tissues is enough to enjoy your ramen is enough, please think again. #dontbeatightarse
Been here a few times, always without doubt end up getting the Chicken Katsu Curry - winner winner chicken dinner!
Gyoza are pretty good too
Ajisen Ramen overall serves good food however its not always the place I choose to eat at because the dishes are quite repetitive. However when I do go, its always a good time!!! The pork was really nice and it complemented all the other components in the ramen! But i do wish there was the other half of the egg (i love eggs)!
Wasn't too sure trying this butter was very happy. Great value for what you get. Enjoyed everything and would return for more. Bento was the fave
LIT⭐️!: quick, affordable ramen place that delivers consistently enjoyable food. Haven't had a bad experience!
NOT SO LIT: though ramen and takoyaki are very average.
Thanks for having us!
The soup of noodles taste good at first but does not last long when we have the middle of the noodles. The quality of the noodles is good. It's a chain store worldwide.
Had the spicy pork ramen and it did not disappoint! The broth was perfectly seasoned and the pork was just spicy enough. Love the black fungus and the egg in the soup!
Good service, very clean restaurant. The food was tasty and good value for money. A bit more meat in the ramen would have been better but the actual portion size of the noodles and soup was very good.
Excellent. Service is always prompt, and the food is delicious and well priced. Staff aren't always overly friendly and you generally don't receive service after your meals have been served, but it's one of those places where you shouldn't expect that. Aside from that, a real fun place to eat.
Went in for the soft shell crab ramen and vegetarian gyoza. Ramen was tad bit salty and gyoza was quite burnt.
Overall it was a decent meal that was very filling
I am not a big fan of ramen, maybe thats why i feel like ramen is just acceptable. Service is good though. Other dishes are average too, i had better
I've only been here twice, but both times were amazing. My order for both visits was the Tonkatsu Ramen which is Ramen with deep fried crumbed pork, egg and vegetables. I cannot fault this meal. The broth is packed with flavour and the serving sizes are massive (not that I had an issue with finishing the whole thing, however I think the average person would have struggled). The pork schnitzel was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were fresh.
Highly recommend for quality Ramen.
Just basic food for when you want a quick bite or is craving a ramen but can't be bothered traveling for it. It wasn't amazing, but tasty enough to do the trick.
I love the eggplant here, but not so sure about the fried chicken coming out in balls instead of pieces of meat. And the bf thought the octopus in the takoyaki was too rubbery.
Ajisen Ramen has loads of outlets where I'm from (Singapore) but I tend to have found their Ramen boring and forgettable compared to the other Japanese chains. I bought takeaway here that day and was pleasantly surprised. Service was cordial and quick, and the Grilled Pork Cheek Ramen was amazing. The soup was salty and flavourful without being too much, the pork was deliciously charred and decadent, it almost melted in my mouth, the noodles not too chewy (I tend to like them a little less springy and a little to the soft side). Much better than the Ajisen Ramens in Singapore! Will definitely be back.
Note: Photo is only a small portion and not the actual serving size.
My lunch Japanese of choice in this area. Usually a lunch box or chicken curry. Good food, quick service. The min 25$ for eftpos is not acceptable for a place that's supposed to be for lunch breaks.
The food was really good! I remember I came here a couple of years ago, and had the Tori Karaage ramen. For a first time to eat ramen I would really recommend it, the food has the best flavour to quantity ratio and is overall really fulfilling. The only con is that the portions are very big so you if you are having this for lunch or dinner, don't eat something prior to coming here. I assure you it would be worth it!
walked past here thinking it was nothing special, but decided to get dinner. ended up spending ~70 between two, and very satisfied.
favourites:
- best agedashi tofu i have had
- best gyoza i have had out (most similar to how we make it at home, which is the true best), good ratios, good subtle ginger taste
- good miso soup
- i even enjoyed nasu dengaku which includes two things i usually avoid: eggplant / miso paste
surprised by this place
The first thing I have to say is that the 'grilled salmon bento box' was absolutely amazing!! 👌🏻
The bento box has the perfect combo of meat, salmon, veggie and rice! I normally hate tomato but luckily they put a nice sauce all over the tomato in the bento box that I couldn't taste it at all. I went there hungry with a few of my friends to catchup over time and we all left there feeling satisfied and full. At first, I didn't think much of it because I'm not the biggest fan of ramen, however them offering plenty of other dishes cancelled out the negatives. I chose the salmon bento box because it was chef's number 1 suggestion for the bentos! I am so happy I choose that selection!
Definitely recommend this for ramen and Japanese lovers!
I would go again just for that salmon bento box 😊😊😊
I've eaten here quite a few times and I must say the service has been really poor every time, you'll find yourself having to get the attention of the waitresses ALL the time, to be seated, to take your order, to order drinks, even to pay the bill, however the food is really nice. Great variety and well priced. Just a shame about the service.
All our guests had a great time here. We had 2 Ramens and 2 Bento boxes for mains. We also had the Nasa Dengaku (deep fried eggplant) which was fantastic. Photos attached.
The best tofu ramen!! The noodles always fresh!! There are a lot of options in the menu, we've tried some of the side dishes, they were good but not as good as the ramen. So stick to their specialty is my recommendation!
Great ramen. The volcano ramen is the best thing ever. And love their macha green tea drinks and ice cream. Entrees are delicious never enough.
Ajisen Ramen is one of my favorite restaurant to visit in Glen Waverley. They always get their food out quite fast and their service are okay to moderate. My favorite dishes are the Gyutan don, Toroniku, and other bentos. The gyutan don are spicy and chewy as they're supposed to be, it's simply excellent. Their bentos are the best for when you are feeling more hungry than usual since it comes with a side of salad, gyozas, and crispy chicken skewers. For some reason, despite the name I don't really like their Ramen as much. However, the previously mentioned food are certainly incredible. I would definitely go back as much as I can.
Cheapish Japanese food. Quality is so so, the Ramen is the highlight. I appreciate that you can order a mild Ramen as I don't handle spice well at all!
Nice and reasonably priced food, reasonably good service. Portions are generous, food came within 10mins. Whilst it was nothing to rave about, it's what you would expect for what you pay. I particularly like the Ramen and Chahan (fried rice) here, the bentos are a bit dry as there's no sauce to eat rice with. Drinks are a bit pricey and nothing special. I was impressed that the waitress saw that I was the only one on my table that hadn't gotten my food, and she came and asked me what I ordered so she could chase it up for me. This is something I rarely see as I often have to bring it up to staff that my food was missing (although in today's case I actually wasn't missing my food since I was sharing with a friend - but I was impressed that she asked!). Overall it was a nice dining experience and we would probably return some time soon!
Really nice Japanese food at an excellent price. I've been here about 4 times now and enjoy the food here as do my friends. The place is always buzzing with people and I can see why also.
Been here awhile ago , I remember tried their franchise in cbd 8 years ago . Food was alright , but I remember our ramen was a little bit over cooked . Fried chicken was good .
I'm a big fan of Ramen and with a menu stacked full of different ramen flavours I was hungry and ready to go! I got the most popular pork ramen and it was very nice! Great flavours and beautiful cooked pork. Unfortunately my partners egg was a little over done but as a whole dish, it was great! Loved it. Clean place, fast service. Yum!!
Very clean and high quality compared to a lot of other noodle restaurants in Glen Waverley, Ajisen serves a great variety of ramen, with some interesting variations on your traditional ramen available. My personal favourite is the Tonkatsu Ramen, though with the wide variety available, there is sure to be something to suit both traditional eastern and western palates. The signature Ajisen Ramen has a really nice broth.
Staff service is generally good, though has varied from time to time - they've never been rude, but there have been times where I've found them inattentive.
Overall, I wouldn't say it was excellent value for money, but I was quite happy with what I got for what I paid, and would definitely visit again.
This place is good for a quick bit to eat, extremely quick service and the food was very tasty. They also have a few more unusual items on the menu like ox tongue and pork cheeks, etc...
Great place for some ramen in the Glen Waverly area. Flavours from the first time I visited was amazing. Came back the second time and was just short of the first experience but neverthless would still visit again. My go-to is the Chasyu Ramen, followed by the Karaage Ramen (with some chasyu of course). The spicy gyoza is a definite must as well!
Went on a busy weekend towards closing, greeted from far of by Multitasking service staff, nice and friendly , didn't rushed for taking order took order on table as we didn't had tablet to punch our order directly.
We ordered Chashyu Ramen and Sizzling Sea food platter
Chashyu Ramen : Excellent Pork broth with tender and cut think pork slices with warm Noodles with very little mushrooms. Spot on, fast service since it's prepared.
5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sizzling Sea food platter : Beautiful mixed sea food platter with very rich prepared white sauce (cream and butter) I suppose but bang on buck for taste....Could have been slightly more seasoned but that's each to their taste.
The fact it says SIZZLING SEA FOOD PLATTER and it's not sizzling puts me off as I'm a sizzler lover and now a days it's so uncommon to get what you see described in menu, henceforth
3 ⭐⭐⭐
Otherwise highly Recommended
Popular fresh daily noodle bar but with soup and rice dishes generous servings and fast service all served on small wooden stools and tables. Casual and intimate fun … may have to queue. Affordable favourite.
Nice place, food was great and staff as well.
Very nice food and alot of distinguish flavours , fast service and good staff
