Profile

A lot of ramen around town can be disappointing—overcooked noodles in bland broth. Not so at Ajisen Noodle. Their pork-based house soup—one of three broth bases along with curry and miso—topped with sliced roast pork, scallions, and hard-cooked egg, is rich and satisfying, the whole-wheat noodles tender but firm. Even better is the "tenderous ribs" version, which turns out to be soup with slow-cooked boneless pork ribs. Tenderous indeed.

Recommended Dishes

Ajisen noodle soup, $5.95; tenderous ribs noodle soup, $7.95; vegetable curry noodle soup, $7.95; hot bean noodle soup, $8.95
