Hi guys,

Was the miso ramen that Mellie had, a vegetarian based broth?

I read on the menu that all their broths are pork-based so I was a little sad since becoming vegetarian that I can’t have my favourite ramen anymore

hmm… i’ve always been seated near the entrance with the freezing breeze whenever someone opens the door!
i guess that’s why i’ve never had pooey-smelling ramen

the ramen is ok, but the service is pretty patchy though.
if u’re ever in Sydney, you can find Ajisen-brand ramen noodles in the Asian groceries… but it’s the tonkotsu broth that we’re all craving

i do like their noodles though… thick and chewy, just like ramen in Japan.

I go here heaps too and know for a fact that it’s not owned by the owners of cafe ITO. There was a dispute between ITO and Ajisen a while back about the kanji which Ajisen used in their signboard out front.

I went there last nice and didn’t notice the smell at all, tho I did sit near the entrace (after reading the warnings about the smell!!!!).

It was my second time there. One thing I did notice was that the noodle they used in the ramen seemed quite different to what I’d normally have. In fact, it looked and tasted a lot more like spaghettini. Which was weird. Not unpleasant, but certainly not what I’d expect in a Ramen. Has anyone else experienced idiosyncratic noodle choice at Ajisen???
