The chef is a young lad, but he moves like a seasoned pro. If you serve several hundred people a day single-handed (he does have a young assistant to do the clearing up), you either learn to stand the heat — or you know the alternative.
The name is is Ajigen, and you'll find it just along from the Center-Gai McDonald's.
