Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Ajisen Ramen appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 20, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F”, showing up three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
