The prices here are super reasonable despite location. The staff is super nice, and serves you pretty fast as well even if you come during a lunch rush. Last but not least the ramen is to die for, definitely undefeated and flavorful. Alcohol and wine is a pretty good price as well. View all feedback.

What J Fabricius dislikes about Ajida:

I enjoyed my ramen, but I found the pork belly unappealing; its flavor didn't quite agree with me, although my friend seemed to like it. The fried calamari was acceptable, but the standout dishes were definitely the skewered meats—both the chicken and beef were remarkable. I would definitely recommend those over everything else. I should also note that the service was attentive, which is always a big plus. View all feedback.

I tried the new homemade Tonkotsu Beef ramen and it has an unforgettable aroma and flavor. It's absolutely delicious! I will definitely be returning for more!

Our server was very attentive and got us seated right away and our food came out fast which was great because we were starving. The food was very tasty. We started with the shrimp tempura which came with same vegetables in the tempura batter as well, and then I had the shoyu ramen with pork belly for my main dish. The broth was very good. I will definitely be back!

I dropped by for some chicken katsu curry and it exceeded my expectations. This has officially become my new favorite spot! I highly recommend checking them out! I should have taken a nicer photo, but this was just a quick snap. I’ll definitely be returning soon for more!

I really enjoy dining at Ajida. The service was excellent! The appetizers were decent, nothing extraordinary. I tried the Shoyu Ramen for the first time, and it was delicious. The dish was full of great flavor with a pleasant hint of spice, so I didn’t need to add any extra spicy condiments. I would definitely recommend this dish and order it again. Ajida’s menu offers some wonderful options worth exploring.

This place is fantastic, with lively instrumental ballad jazz playing, and occasionally a cool jazzy Lo-Fi track. The food is excellent— the shrimp shumai with soy sauce is the highlight!
