Their appetizer and small plate offerings are quite good, but I would suggest avoiding the entrees. The ramen and rice bowls here are not up to par for this area.

4 years ago I gave them 5 stars. I'm here to update my review. I always get the original Ramen. The last 3 times I've been there, I found the tonkotsu ramen very bland. Watery, and boring. And they always forget the black garlic oil. I kept thinking maybe it was just an off day. So I tried again, and again. The broth is not the same depth of flavor from 4 years ago.
We've enjoyed several meals, to-go and sit down. Our kids LOVE the aji tonkotsu and miso ramen; my husband and I really enjoy the kimchi ramen and the spicy miso ramen. The food is so comforting and reliably delicious. Perfect for chilly evenings! The restaurant itself is so welcoming and intimate.

I’ve been coming here for years. The quality is very good, the staff is very memorable, polite and patient. All the food is super high quality and overall good experience. I think the recipes and menu items have changed quite a bit over the years, but my review remains the same. I’ve been ordering the miso ramen mainly, and I’d like to have back the old recipe because it had more flavor and umami taste. Still a great place to eat.
Tonight was the second time I have had ramen at this place, and it was great! I got the tonkotsu ramen (which is my favorite kind of ramen), and it was amazing. If you want it to be spicy, you can add chili oil to your liking. The staff is very sweet too. If you are looking for a good ramen place in this area, I would totally recommend Aji Ramen!

Asian restaurants are plentiful in the Katy and surrounding areas. Most of them are small in size but serve memorable food that satisfies. A good example is Aji Ramen.Ramen is the main reason people visit Aji Ramen and there are about eight or so options, most of which are good in taste and moderately filling. Beyond ramen, you will also find different rice dishes and skewers. If you want a variety of meat, the skewer is the way to go. The ramen tends to stick with pork and chicken, but the skewers offer many more meat options. They serve several different small plates, too.The food served at Aji Ramen is quite tasty and one thing I like is that the skewers and several other items, while small, are low in price. This is nice because you can customize a meal, based on your appetite, and keep the cost down. A pair of egg rolls and a ribeye skewer, for example, is just right when your appetite isn’t very strong. And for beverages you can select among soft drinks, beer, and yes, sake. I tend to go for the Thai iced tea, which is one of my favorites but the sake is also a good choice.The inside of Aji Ramen is on the small side, with space for about fifty guests. One thing I’m not too thrilled with is the tables in the middle section because they feature stools for seating: Stools that are low to the ground and have no back support. This isn’t good if you have issues with standing/sitting and if you have back issues. You will need to seek out the booths if you want back support.I like a nice, cozy Asian restaurant. Aji Ramen is a good choice for those who want a bowl of ramen or other Asian dish for a reasonable price. The seating isn’t the best and I have had issues with slow service, but the food is more than good enough to keep me coming back.
It is a really nice ramen restaurant. The Tonkotsu Ramen and Takoyaki were especially delicious. It tastes very similar to the ramen I tried in Japan, and the restaurant is very clean. The server was very kind, making it a pleasant dining experience.
The food is so fresh, and the service is on point. It is a little hidden, but definitely stop in if you want to try something new!

Love this place! They have great appetizers. I tried jelly fish for the 1st time here! Yes! Real jelly fish. It was surprisingly good. They got solid ramen too. It’s really tasty! Definitely recommend.

This was my first time at AJI Ramen and it was amazing! The service was wonderful and kind. We tried several different dishes since we came with a bigger party and everything was delicious! It came out quickly as well. They even take a polaroid for the table if you're celebrating a special occasion. I would definitely come back!
