Whole Ajisen concept has changed. After the revamp, food standard awfully dropped. Consider before heading over.
Staff service is horrendous.
Also, avoid "okonomiyaki" at all cost. You will be ordering a salty pizza 🍕

Order TomYum ramen lunch set that cost $17.97 after tax. It’s disappointing as its ramen is not as springy as before anymore. It’s very soft. Tom yum is my all time favourite. Standard has dropped a lot as compared to former Ajisen.

Food was definitely okay, average as usual. One thing that was definitely not okay was the service staff Justin. Rude and attitude problem like customers owe him a living. You all really should consider sending him for a proper training. Will never come back. Dine at your own risk if you wanna get served by Justin.

Came over for dinner on a Sunday night. Not much crowd even though other restaurants were queuing like crazy. Ordered their signature Aso ramen and the 2 mixed Mabo tofu, miso pork belly and Gyoza rice set. Ambience was quite okay, service was prompt and professional. Price point was average. However, there is a large difference in standards between the ramen and the rice set. The Aso ramen was okay, nothing to shout about. But the mixed rice set were terrible. Firstly, the set came with cold tough pork belly and cold tasteless mapo tofu. Probably pre cooked earlier and placed aside till people order received. The only warm food is the rice and soup. The gyoza was a surprise and it's delicious especially compared to the lousy rice set. Overall a disappointing dinner. So only a one star rating for the dropped in standards over the years.

I ordered teriyaki chicken set here because it was peak hour now. The food tasted normal, nothing to surprise with. The food came with one dirty spoon which I asked to change. Food took some time to come but the only thing is hot when served is the miso soup Otherwise the service here I have no much comment, shouted very loud thank you in Japanese but the words came out from mouth is not tally with the attitude.

I order a mori Raman for myself and a maze soba for my wife on 1/12 dinner time, the soup for the Tonkotsu ramen was very watery and bland the soba was rather bad, I know that ajisan don't cook their own pork soup but this is kind of disappointing, I'm not sure if the cook inside got change or the standard drop, the taste from last time and now is definitely different and not in a good way

Service was good, but didnt like that I had to scan order to order online. Food was subpar honestly, but not terrible. Onsen egg was somewhat overcooked, noodles and sauce was nice for mazesoba. Miso soup very salty and teriyaki chicken is frozen. Chicken karage overcooked and packaged. Wouldn't come back here for a long while unless I really don't have other options. Membership is useful tho

The amount of vegetables compared to meat.
Soup was so salty, avoid M Fuji Sukiyaki !

We came past 8pm, when it was empty and there were only 3 tables occupied, and asked if we could have a 4-seater table for our bags. However, the server Justin (who has appeared in other reviews) said no very grumpily because we were only a party of 2. That was a little awkward, because we saw another party of 2 seated at a 4-seater table and he himself took another after.
The fried squid side also took quite long to come after the ramen (we were almost halfway through by the time it arrived). Nonetheless, the food was good (same old) and the female manager was friendly.

Can I just share my experience here in this restaurant. This day we went here for a late lunch.
The service is horrible. The staff will choose the customers they will serve nicely.
The auntie who serve the drinks, just throw the small paper with our orders. And the glasses like never wipe dry like just came from teh sink.
And the staff Tang Meng, the staff that sarcastically and never asked us if we were a member, of what, coz there is capita member and there JFH member. That is why my friend asked member of?coz we are going to pay for the capita. That's the time he tell whether we are a JFH member.
AJISEN TANJIRO TAMPINES BRANCH PLEASE MAKE AN ACTION ON THIS

Atmosphere is right for a quick dine in. Service is call on demand without much initiative except for a young chap looks like a part timer. He is very prompt and observing every table when he is free from serving. Food is quite ok with not much expectations.

First time here and it is also my last. Absolute poor service. Very short handed with only 3 service staff for the entire place during peak period. The waiters are inflexible and unable to accommodate simple request like change of table citing fixed seating arrangement (not related to any SMMs) when the place is not even full. Service crew is also very indifferent in attitude.
Food quality is acceptable, typical Aijsen taste. However before the food arrived, the overall dining experience was already unpleasant.
Another unacceptable area to highlight is that the plate that arrived with the side dish was extremely dirty with yellow stain (refer to photo). It was such a turn off. I usually have a certain degree of tolerance towards such issues, but this eatery was unfortunately above my threshold that left a poor dining experience.

Visited today on Saturday evening along with my family. Had a good treat by my dad's recommendation for my Sis's of her exceptional belated birthday celebration.
Actually, it's quite good. Awesome. I have tried chicken tom yum ramen. Yet appetizing.
Service was rapidly, reasonable, and instantaneously (without delay)
Prices are economical and satisfactory, as well as inclusive of 9 percent GST and 10 percent service charges stated in a receipt.
Atmospere here are quite airy and hushed as it's uncrowded and had a good ambiance.
Subsequently, I do recommend Pork Chop Fried Rice Set for my next visit! 😊

Come back again yesterday accompanied family during the Eid al-Fitr on a public holiday but also to celebrate my birthday in advance before the actual day.
For me, currently, I tried Chicken Cutlet Rice Set of Kimchi, Meatball, and Cold Tofu selection a variety of rice dishes from the menu.
The ambiance and decor are nice. Yet still appetizing. Only one of the segment bbq sauces that I taste saltiness. btw it's okay.
Service was good and reasonable. Staff is friendly and approachable. Will come back around again.

First time come to Tampines Mall. We try Ramen from Ajisen Tanjiro. Food is not bad. Service is good, staff is friendly, helpful. Will come back again and recommend to my friend also.

Ajisen Ramen has undergone a rebranding, adopting a new name and partnering with Osaka Ohsho. Their lunch menu now offers a compelling deal by including a side dish and a drink. Notably, the portion sizes are quite substantial, and what's interesting is that the kids' meal portions are nearly equivalent to those for adults.
When it comes to their ramen, it's quite consistent with the standard fare found at other Ajisen Ramen outlets. The familiar flavors and styles that patrons have come to appreciate remain unchanged, providing a reliable and expected taste.

It’s been a while since I ate at ajisen and it was nice to be back. They have introduced many other items suitable for everyone’s taste and young and old can all enjoy!
Just want to say that this is one of the best baby octopus I have eaten hahah (sides)
The mazesoba was okay, the sauce is a bit tasteless and not salty so it wasnt very flavourful. The seasfood ramen broth was nice
The salmon set looks small but it’s extremely filling when you eat everything together
Kinda disappointed at the mentaiko pancake. The taste was extremely great, but the size was sad. Feel kinda cheated when the picture shows like it’s quite big! But in actual fact it’s just the size of a hand and it’s split into 4 slices. It would be good to treat it like a snack.
Overall everything was great and the staff were nice and service was quite alright!

Queue: Queue normally happen after 6~6:30PM.
Food:
(i)Recommend Gyoza, gyoza in this outlet taste better then the rest (i tried other 4 different outlet).
(ii) Don't try fried rice, two times double confirm the rice very hard. Can't understand why the white rice is ok but fried rice is hard.
Service: Friendly and willing to refill the tea for customer.
Loyalty point: Please join the member for loyalty point. Use mobile phone number to recognize. Will expire after one year.

Located on the 4th floor right by an escalator. The ambiance and decor is nice. They have tables set up for whether you want to dine alone or with company.
The ramen itself is nice. Soup dosent have the saltiness many other ramen places. Only wish it were just a little thicker.
All in all a great place to grab a bite.
