Makes a change from Subway

A branch of Japanese fast-food chain Ajisen Ramen – operating "since 1968" and boasting "over 400 restaurants" worldwide – has sprung up in Hay St, Haymarket. CM and I gave it a go. He plumped for the teriyaki beef set, while I had the tonkatsu variation. The contents were a tad different to what's in lunchboxes at other local nosheries such as Musashi and Sakae. One compartment contained gyoza – they were so tasty I ordered an extra plateful! Decent grub. Pretty waitresses and blaring J-pop added to the experience.
