    Tender Pork Ribs Ramen with Spicy Miso Broth
    Kirsten E.

    Ajisen is a classic and easy choice for ramen. Their quality remains the same, and I'm always happy with it! My go-to is the tender pork ribs ramen, but I switch the broth for spicy miso because I love a good spicy broth. The name speaks for itself, the pork ribs are so tender and melts in your mouth. I never change my order because this one is always perfect for me.

    This location is pretty busy. I ordered the original pork ramen. The broth was very flavorful and not too salty. Their ramen is delicious and I loved it. Portion wise could include more noodles. Just also note that their prices are on the higher end.

    World Ajisen Day (February 22nd)! My least favorite place for ramen but hard to resist paying $7.50 for this bowl of Ajisen Ramen (#5 on their menu). I paid $1 extra to change the broth to Tom Yum. The noodles weren't the best with the ends still stuck together & the pork was on the dry end. The half egg was cooked really well though.

    It's not trendiest ramen shop, or the fanciest, but Ajisen just seems to hit this nostalgic sweetspot in my soul. I will always default to the Pork Ramen, which features thinly sliced pieces of lean pork. The crispy edges on the meat give it a great texture, and it is the perfect size to take with a mouthful of noodles. Ajisen features a thin noodle, which I've found to be perfectly cooked with a new balance of chewy but still has a bite. The thin noodles are perfect for maximizing the amount of broth each noodle picks up. Ajisen broths tend to be more oily and salty than other places. I personally like this, but if you think it will be an issue, feel free to ask for less oil or salt.

    My usual Ajisen Ramen location is at Warden and Steeles. Every time I visit CoCo at this plaza, I have looked longingly at Ajisen Ramen, saying quietly to myself that I need to eat here. I have ordered takeout twice from this location, both times through Skip the Dishes. My first experience was excellent. The second time was bumpy, but all okay in the end. Ajisen Ramen has promotions going on. If you get ramen or rice, you get an appetizer for free. You can choose an item from the following: - Spring roll - Edamame - Deep-fried potato cake - BBQ pork rice ball The first time, I got miso BBQ ramen. I added corn and an egg as extras. For my free appetizer, I got edamame. It is my favourite starter at any Japanese eatery. My pickup the first time was great. I waited behind a couple of folks who were looking at the menu and deciding what they wanted. The female staff member saw me and had my order ready at the table. I fetched it, thanked her, and left. I got home and chowed down. Everything was packed carefully. I had miso broth and it didn't leak out. I loved the edamame. It was done perfectly. I love a bit of salt with the perfectly steamed, protein-packed edamame. The miso BBQ ramen was delicious. I poured the miso broth into the deep recyclable noodle bowl and gingerly mixed everything. There were four small slices of BBQ ramen. If I just had the ramen as a meal, I would have been disappointed with the number of BBQ slices and would have needed to order more. However, I had edamame, so I was happy protein-wise. The ramen was perfect. It was chewy and yummy. The miso broth wasn't overly salty and was flavourful. I loved the green onions, corn, and bean sprouts. They worked so well with one another. The egg was so good. It wasn't runny. It wasn't hard-boiled. It had the right softness and delicateness for ramen. My second order was for dinner last night. I ordered Japanese fried rice with chicken. I have been craving fried rice for a while. I got edamame again as my free appetizer. I also ordered a side of gyoza. After placing my order, I received a phone call practically immediately on my cell phone. I was on the road driving when I picked up hands-free. The woman said that she didn't have any gyoza and asked if I wanted something else, like spring rolls or takoyaki. I said that I wasn't in the mood for either. I asked what else she had. She didn't bother listing them. She then went into this weird conditional questioning path. She asked whether she should go ahead with my order minus the gyoza or if I could cancel my order. I had to explain to her that she caught me while driving. I literally pulled over on Kipling Avenue into a residential apartment parking lot to look at my Skip the Dishes app. I could not cancel the order. She had confirmed it. I let her know. I asked whether it was a best practice for her to confirm the order before checking that she actually had gyoza. She gave me an answer that I wasn't pleased with. I said that she needed to sort that out. I then said that I'd have to keep the order because I had paid and couldn't back out of it. I looked at the other apps and asked if she had the corn salad. She did. Yay! She felt bad for inconveniencing me and said that she'd throw in another app for free. She had listed edamame again. Although I love it, I wanted something different. I went with the fried potato cake. She apologized. I thanked her for her generosity and carefully pulled out of the apartment parking lot after spending a good five minutes getting this order fixed. I made it to the restaurant at 3:40 pm. I had specified my order to be ready at 3:30 pm and gave a bit of time just to be on the safe side. In total, the place had 45 minutes to get everything ready. I walked in and the woman that I had spoke to was cheerful. I said thanks, picked up my goodies, and headed home. Again, everything was carefully packed. I got a handwritten apology on my receipt. This place is good about making things right and I like that a ton. I got miso soup with my Japanese fried rice with chicken. I didn't take a photo of it. It was so good that I consumed it immediately. You get a LOT of Japanese fried rice. The chicken was tender. The green onions, onions, garlic, pork, and fried egg were so good. The fried rice hit the spot and was so flavourful. I highly recommend it. I got the deep-fried potato cake for the first time. It's small, but delicious. It came with mayo. The outside of the potato cake was crispy. The inside part was creamy mashed potatoes seasoned with green onions. It was surprisingly good. The corn salad blew me away. It's such a simple concept to have corn kernels, imitation crab, masago, and a generous amount of mayo as a starter. There were a couple of iceberg lettuce leaves at the bottom. I ate them, but the salad is better without them. It's not worth $8, but it was yummy. The food is great. Staff are hard-working and nice. I'm a fan. (152)

    I got take out at this location and got the teriyaki chicken donburi. I have had this dish before and usually it comes with a decent amount of chicken but this time there's literally like 4-5 small pieces ??? I feel like they could be a bit more generous???

    A bowl of ramen soup noodles on a rain day? Yes please! In a matter of mere minutes, the soup and noodles were easily cleared along with a side dish of seasoned seaweed salad. I'd recommend the tender boneless pork ribs instead of the pork ramen for more quanity and tenderness of meat. For some reason, they were sold out by noon on a Saturday of the soup broth for black garlic, shoyu, tomato and miso? **scratches head**

    ...After forgetting to take a picture before mixing the bowl... but look at how pastey the kimchi is
    Holly K.

    This is a consistent ramen chain with a bigger menu variety than some other places. I ordered the kimchi pork ramen and asked for the kimchi on the side because I love kimchi but don't like it hot. The ramen was noticeably more flavourful, which can be a plus, but that meant that it was also more salty.. I was constantly thirsty the rest of the night. The kimchi was a little weird.. it had a thick paste with it that got overwhelming... I was def glad I asked for it on the side or it would have killed the broth. I also find the portions here a bit more with more ingredients like bean sprout, onions, kelp, etc. Though I'm never super full from ramen in general. The service was just okay- the restaurant was pretty dead when I was here, yet we would still have to wave servers over to get refills on water. Overall, pretty solid place for ramen where you always know what you're going to get. A bit too high on the MSG but I'm a fan of their menu selection and would come back to try out some of their other options.

    Curry pork cutlet ramen
    Shajitha R.

    Never been disappointed here! Super affordable food that's great on a cold night. Tried the Tom yum soup first which is a little spicy, so watch out if you can't handle spice! The curry ramen is also really flavourful! The apps are pretty good, but definitely a lot cheaper if you order them for lunch because they have smaller portions for a fraction of the price. Definitely recommend!

    Shoyu!!!

    First time coming to this location Their service is excellent and the process are reasonable. The audience is casual and popular with the locals looking for yummy ramen. I had their Shoyu with pork with was delicious, no complaints.

    Opens late | fast hearty food | free wifi | Not authentic Japanese ramen | MSG | seasonal menus available Ajisen ramen is opened by Chinese people but their ramen to most are good. I am highly sensitive to MSG and everyone I eat at their restaurant I feel it. Nonetheless, it's a decent affordable meal if you're craving for some noodles. They have multiple locations and all their locations give me the same MSG feeling. They have snacks, bubble tea, ramen noodle soup, rice dishes, etc. They also have a stamp card available where you get a stamp per $10 spent. Upon collecting 15 stamps you get one house special ramen for free. They often have seasonal menu items that keeps us on our toes. Their other locations include Markham (on Warden), Toronto (on Spadina) and North York (on Yonge).

    Good food as usual. Very attentive and consistently exceptional service. The cucumber salad could be fresher tho.

    Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is a very famous ramen brand with more than 50 restaurants globally. I feel…read morea bit embarrassed that I haven't been to any of them. Its menu already shows its uniqueness: its signature ramen is shio ramen, which simply means salt ramen. Unlike other ramen restaurants that often promote their strong and heavy-flavoured pork broth, Santouka just says "salty broth." I think it really reflects Japanese culture and spirit. The chef's craftsmanship shows that using simple ingredients is enough to make flavorful food. I ordered the Shio Ramen and an Aji-tama (medium-boiled egg). It still had a very strong savoury flavour and wasn't too salty at all. To be honest, it tasted like pork broth to me. Whatever it was, it made me feel comfortable while having the ramen and after the meal. Meals at other ramen restaurants are usually too salty. Sorry, I am playing with words here, because it is interesting that the "salty broth" isn't too salty, while other broths are usually saltier. The branch in Scarborough is spacious and very suitable for dining with family, friends, or even business associates. The plaza it is in is a very competitive area for noodle cuisine. You can add Hokkaido Ramen Santouka to your radar the next time you go there.

    We were seated promptly upon arrival and the staff were friendly. Unfortunately, it took some time…read morefor them to come back around to take our order. We ordered a spicy veggie ramen with egg noodle (kale noodle was also an option for the veggie bowl) and a shio ramen. The ramen itself was average and I didn't think it was amazing but not disappointing for a bowl of ramen. I liked that I was able to customize the saltiness of the broth. We also added on an egg to our noodles, but the yolk was less jammy (a tad overcooked) for my liking. The parking lot will probably the biggest nightmare if you've never been to this plaza. The space between the parked cars is narrow and there is a lot of traffic in and out of the area.

The restaurant was at a busy location, which was the end of the driveway, everyone sees it before making a turn. The staff was nice when we walked in.

After a few seconds, she came back and said only 1 coupon per visit. We were a bit disappointed, because we were so hard to dine out with a baby, and not able to come again with a long drive and a baby. We talked to their owner, he was nice to let us try both at the same time. Oh yeah! So we have 1 original ramen with black garlic oil, and 1 tomato base. It won't take long to wait. The fried chicken came first, it was not like the breaded chicken, it fried from original, but after marinated; it has taste, but not salty. The 2 ramen came at the same time. They both really rich, but not so salty, because the salt level could be altered; the noodle size could be chosen as well, we did 1 thick and 1 thin. They both looked similar.

Don't be fooled by the photo - there is a lot of noodle in there! They also offer a free kids meal deal for kids under 12 with an order of two bowls of ramen, which is pretty nice if you're eating out as a family.

    Tip: The mall entrance to Kinton Ramen was closed when I was there in March 2026. Instead, I had to…read moreexit the mall and go through its separate restaurant entrance. I'm a tad surprised that this Kinton Ramen got not-so-stellar reviews as of late. In contrast, I had a fabulous experience. My worst experience at any Kinton has been its Richmond Hill location. Staff got my order wrong, fished out bamboo shoot that I clearly stated that I didn't want, and did not care if I may or may not have a food allergy by giving me the same bowl of ramen. I had come to CF Markville Mall to pick up an order at Swarovski. I used mall entrance 1 to get there. I passed by this Kinton Ramen on my way over. I was ready for an early dinner. It was probably 4 pm on a Monday. I drove over here from my workplace in Mississauga. I thought that it would be great to give this eatery a try. The only downside is that you don't have mall access to this eatery. If you're in the mall, you have to to exit it through entrance 1 and then use the separate Kinton Ramen entrance. It's a bit inconvenient. I'd probably be more annoyed if I had a ton of shopping bags full of goods and winds were at 80 km/h for me to exit the mall and get into this eatery. Luckily, it was a nice day and I had a small bag. I entered the eatery and was greeted immediately by a female staffer. I asked for a table and got one with a view of Churchill's Cigar and Gift. It was also fun to people-watch as I ate. I looked at the menu. The burnt shoyu ramen looked good. I lucked out, as this ramen was a part of a Kinton combo. Yes! I got these items as part of my combo: - Sparkling yuzu lemonade - Pork gyoza (4) - Burnt shoyu with thick ramen and corn I got a cup with cold water. It was refreshing and much needed. It was refilled regularly. I am a fan of sparkling drinks. I love yuzu. Put them in a lemonade and I am happy. The sparkling yuzu lemonade was excellent. Yuzu has a more subtle lemony flavour that is so refreshing. It felt fancy having fizzy lemonade. I loved this drink so much. The pork gyoza came out next. I got four of them. They were deep-fried. The pork filling was yummy. I loved my bowl of burnt shoyu ramen. The thick ramen noodles were chewy and perfect. The chashu was delicious and flavourful. I loved the dry seaweed, corn, jammy egg, scallions, bean sprouts, and garlic chips. There was a mild burnt flavour to the pork broth that was nice. I couldn't fit dessert in. I was stuffed. I paid my bill at the table with a credit card. I tapped the machine with my card and was done. I used the washroom before I left. It was fancy, from the sink, to complimentary mouthwash. As I was leaving this eatery, I saw a pickup window for takeout orders. It was cool. I like this Kinton a lot. Staff were friendly and competent. The food and drink were excellent. I'll be back.

Initially looked busy and thought there may be a wait, but the line was actually for the dessert place that shares the same entrance. I usually switch up my order between the Clam Ramens (shio and shoyu). Can definitely say that these are always made consistent (at least on every visit I've had), so there's no surprise. My friend ordered the Avocado Vegetarian Ramen as part of a set. We were both intrigued by the taste of the broth. It was creamy, but not super thick, and had a fresh, vegetal taste.

Konjiki is good, far from great, but very solid. The broth has the right consistency with a satisfying richness, falling just a touch short of the deep, creamy intensity I personally look for. The noodles were cooked perfectly, maintaining just the right amount of bite. Nothing ruins a bowl of ramen faster than overcooked noodles. The soft-boiled egg was equally well executed, with a perfectly jammy center, and the chashu had excellent flavor and texture. My biggest criticism isn't what's missing....it's what's added. Like many ramen shops outside Japan, Konjiki includes pickled ginger, pickled takana, and braised bamboo shoots. For me, none of them improve the bowl. In fact, I think they distract from what should be the star of the show: the broth. In hindsight, I could have easily asked for them to be left out, but I've never really understood why they're included in the first place. Even so, this is a very respectable bowl of tonkotsu ramen and one I'd happily order again.

Overall, it was decent but didn't quite wow me for the price. That said, the atmosphere is great, so it's still a solid spot if you're going more for drinks and the vibe. Service was good with servers been attentive and quick.

    Opens late. Ramen is decent and I like the garlic topper shakers. Food comes out quickly and hot.read more

    I recently came back on a late thursday night with a friend after a session of badminton. It was…read moreone 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 don't think the ramen is better than an authentic ramen spot. For that, I award 3.5 stars.
