If you have been to Hong Kong, Ajisen Ramen is a paopular fast food Japanese restaurant that you can find everywhere (available in HK International Airport). It is in Hong Kong that I first discovered the yummy gyoza (and addicting gyoza sauce) that everytime I’m in town I drop by the restaurant. When I found out that Ajisen Ramen opened a branch in San Juan, I immediately want to try their gyoza; curious if the taste and menu are the same with Hong Kong’s Ajisen Ramen.

To my delight the gyoza tastes perfect! Dip the gyoza with its sauce and yum..! I like the sauce overflowing the dumplings, the salty-sourness of the sauce is a match for the oily gyoza! A little boo-boo that I noticed is that the gyoza sauce of Ajisen Ramen Philippines is limited; they just serve you a little sauce together with the dumplings L This situation is unlike in Ajisen Ramen Hong Kong where the gyoza sauce is available for your heart’s content since it is like a normal condiment placed on the table. One more thing, in Ajisen Ramen Hong Kong, there’s garlic powder and chilli flakes readily available in the table; I like the enhancing flavour of these two spices mixed with the gyoza sauce. I really hope that on my next visit, Ajisen Ramen Philippines would make these condiments readily available too!

| Hong Kong: On the table condiments ~ so many! |
A must order is of course, their gyoza! Don’t forget to let them swim in sauce

Philippine: Gyoza
A perfect match during rainy day is their house specialty Ajisen Ramen. Soup base is uniquely tasty! You can ask for more soup for an additional charge of P35/cup. (see photo of Chasu Ramen) Their Chasu Ramen is just like Ajisen Ramen but it has more pork slices! I ordered the Chasu ala-carte (pork slices alone) but found it too oily to eat it alone with rice. It is really is best when it is with noodles .This soup is a favourite dish of mine! |

Their fried chicken is a bit disappointing, nothing special to it. Note that the fried chicken of Ajisen Ramen Philippines and Hong Kong doesn’t taste the same. If you are in Hong Kong and you wanna try Ajisen Ramen, don’t forget to try dipping the chicken into garlic-spice-sauce; perfect with rice!

Philippines: Fried Chicken, more breading and a but rubbery

Tan-Tan Mien is a dry noodle with spicy ground pork, beancurd, and Ajisen Ramen sauce. Nothing special to this dish

| Tan Tan Mien Gyudon (ground meat) Rice Topping with fresh egg yolk, the sauce in their gyudon is a bit too sweet for me. |
