Ajisen Ramen

So I finally got to try Ajisen Ramen and while I wasn't expecting much, I wasn't disappointed...but maybe cause I wasn't expecting much. I got the house ramen...Ajisen Ramen for $7.50. From what I could see and taste (cause there wasn't much description in the menu), it had seaweed, half and egg, shreds of lettuce and some...well, a but more than some, garlic in tonkotsu broth, and some pieces of pork. The ramen itself wasn't bad. Thin noodles with a bit of bite to it. The broth was ok but the garlic was a bit too much. The lettuce...well...it didn't add to the ramen so why was it even there? The pork wasn't too bad. Just dry enough to sop up some of the broth and some nice bit of flavor. I like that this place is downtown so if I ever find myself there, I know there's a ramen place I can go to. Overall, it was a good bowl for the price and I would probably go here over the highly overrated ramen place that is also downtown on Geary :P. Service was a bit lacking. I went with my brother and we waited almost 10min for the server to take our order. After we had ordered, my brother got his before me...which is odd cause he got tonkatsu. Really? You can fry a pork cutlet faster than you can make ramen? I didn't know that was possible.
