Ajisan Noodles in China….YUM!

I have mentioned this before but I will repeat it again; if Lindsay and I find a place we like to eat we will keep coming back. This was certainly true of Ajisan Noodles which we discovered during our trip to China in 2010. Our first night in Beijing it was getting late and we needed to eat. Here is a travel tip that we have learned over the years…if you are in a pinch a mall food court (in any international city) is a great place to find cheap, clean and tasty food! We were hanging out in the central shopping district and decided to hit up Oriental Plaza mall for some food. We stumbled upon a little noodle house called Ajisan and took our seats. The menu was hard to decode but we ended up ordering some of the most amazing noodles we have every had. We came back to this Ajisan numerous times while in Beijing and almost always ordered the same thing: Pepsi (comes out in cute little can) and noodles. When we left Beijing for Shanghai we were very sad because we assumed that there was no more Ajisan in our future. However, to our great surprise there were numerous Ajisan noodle houses in Shanghai as well. Come to found out it is a chain out of Japan that has locations all over Asia (and now one in Los Angeles). Needles to say we hit up Ajisan numerous other times while in Shanghai. To this day we firmly believe they are the best noodles you can get!
