Ajisen Ramen (Newmarket) Restaurant

Personal opinion: Average food, overly salty. But good for a quick meal. The karaage chicken were huge pieces of chicken, and really spicy.

When my son was still using a pram, I found it difficult to dine here because prams weren’t allowed inside. Now that he no longer needs one, I decided to visit again today. I noticed a family with a small baby in a pram, which I found really heartwarming. However, it turns out that prams are still not allowed inside. I also recall handing the manager some child-friendly tableware small plates, a spoon, and a fork so that younger children could eat more easily. Unfortunately, I didn’t see them being used at all. It makes me wonder why this restaurant isn’t more accommodating to families with small children. That being said, the ramen was absolutely delicious, and despite coming on such a busy day, every staff member remained calm, professional, and efficient. I really appreciated that. However, looking around, I noticed there were no families with small children dining here. Given how spacious the restaurant is, I can’t help but wonder what’s the issue? It would be wonderful if families could enjoy a meal together in this beautifully decorated, Japanese-style space. If Japanese restaurants in Japan also make it difficult for families with young children to dine, perhaps it’s a cultural difference. But this is New Zealand, and I encourage you to reconsider your approach to making your restaurant more welcoming for families!

Is there anything better than a spicy ramen on a rainy day? There is not. I had the beef my colleague had the pork- both delicious, love this place. Staff are great, would recommend to anyone!! Jess, Hospitality Specialist Kakapo Business Sales

Amazing spot to grab a delicious meal if your in Newmarket, highly recommend this place. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Food is delivered quickly after you order via a QR code on the table. I will be back to try different food options!

They offers a delightful dining experience. The warm and inviting ambiance, a good spot to have a family lunch or dinner. The staffs were friendly and very attentive. The ramen broth tasted so good and worth coming back for. They also serves vegetarian meals which also tasted good. This is a must visit ramen place in Auckland.

The ramen is sooooo delicious, generous portion and quick, friendly service. Restaurant is well laid out and very clean. Fun decor. My order was a teriyaki chicken ramen (no mushrooms) and I added on the lunch spring roll special.

Delicious! 5/5 stars. Authentic, great portion, decent pricing and beautiful atmosphere. Service is good too. Would highly recommend!!

Love this place one of my fav ramen spots ever!! Come every few months, quality never changed after years of going. The Kimchi beef is my favourite
