Kajiken was the perfect Michelin-recommended lunch stop before my flight out of SFO! There was a…read moreshort line when I arrived, but the staff turned tables quickly and kept everything moving efficiently, so the wait wasn't long at all. I ordered their #1 recommendation, the Homura Aburasoba, and immediately scarfed it down. Popping the perfectly runny egg yolk into the noodles was incredibly satisfying, and every bite was packed with rich, savory umami. The noodles themselves were thick, chewy, and had a great bite that held up well to the sauce. I also tried the Wagyu dish, but it arrived more cooked than it appeared in the photos, which made the texture and overall experience a bit underwhelming. The sauce also leaned on the creamier side, which isn't my favorite pairing with Wagyu, so I'd probably skip that one next time. That said, the Homura Aburasoba alone is worth coming back for and easily earns Kajiken a well-deserved 5/5.

Food Review: Takoyaki ($9.50) had 6 good sized balls with octopus, takoyaki sauce, mayo and bonito flakes. Decent. 7.5/10 Pan fried Gyoza ($8.50) are pork & vegetable pan eggless fried dumplings. Not overly crisp. Solid. 7.5/10 Homura Aburasoba ($19) They suggest you mix the eggless noodles for 20 seconds to ensure full coating. Noodles are very al dente and better than expected. You can choose the type of egg you want. It takes getting used to no broth. 8.5/10 Nikumori Aburasoba ($20) has spicy minced pork, pork slices and more. 8.5/10 Original Aburasoba ($16.45) does away with the egg and is still a solid simpler version. 9/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Very Good Service - Good Value - Very Good Would we come back - Yes

The beef quality was tender and good. The broth was tasty and clear besides the marrow which cause some oil rings spotting on top. The bang cuon was pretty good and I love nem chao tom.

The dining experience is a lot more cramped here, at least in the downstairs dining area. There was also a bunch of gnats? Fruit flies? Flying everywhere. I get that it was hot and probably why they left the door open, but it was annoying and kind of gross to constantly have to be swatting insects away from our food. Food wise, I was craving a pho, and the brisket pho did hit the spot. However I found the noodles a bit too overcooked without the typical bite I like in my pho noodles. Overall, my favorite item was actually the cafe trio. The corn coffee was unique and I enjoyed it a lot!

The shredded chicken and the broth were wonderful, I do wish it had less tortilla strips because they soaked up all the broth if left there for too long. I got the California bagel, which was also delicious. It was a little too much egg for my liking, but the bagel was only $12 which I think is decent for what I got. The Strawberry croissant was TO DIE FOR. I have never enjoyed a croissant as much as this one. Fresh strawberry cream inside, super fluffy and crispy croissant overall. LOVE!

do not go. super rude staff ... i show up at the counter ready to order, 2 guys are back there working and totally ignore me for 10 minutes. They were busy ok but still... he comes to me after 10 minutes of ignoring me and asks if i need help, i said, i just needed to order slices for meand my son. He says, oh, please help us and order at the KIOSK. Ok fine, you could have just told me that 10 minutes ago... so I go order 3 slices b/c we didn't have time to wait for a pizza... 25 minutes later I ask him how much longer for slices? He looks at me and says "oh to be honest a lot longer... , if I had known you ordered slices, I would have rejected / cancelled the order" - ive been waiting for 25 minutes and NOW you tell me this? no apologies at all. I was livid and let him know my displeasure - we were starving, i was in a rush to get to work, and so we basically waited almost 40 minutes for 3 simple slices, and got nothing and then he told me to "go order elsewhere" - unbelievable. they were admittedly busy and short staffed.. but still, ignore people standing at the counter for 10 minutes? tell people they would have cancelled an order we already ordered? if slices are not worth my business then you should not have given that option on the kiosk bro. if I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Visited on Sun Jul 19 around noon with a friend and the staff's attitude was unreal. We walked up to the counter, clearly waiting to order, and the guy working the front just stared past us and kept doing his thing like we weren't there. No greeting, no "I'll be right with you," just pure indifference. Another employee was moving around behind him and also made zero effort to acknowledge that customers were standing right in front of them. After a long stretch of awkward silence, the front counter guy finally came over, but his tone made it clear we were an annoyance, not guests. Instead of a basic "What can I get started for you?", he spoke to us like we were interrupting him and rushed through everything. Any simple question about what was available was met with short, clipped answers, and the whole interaction felt like he was daring us to give up and walk out. The message was loud and clear: they don't care if you're there or not. On a regular Sunday around noon, you'd expect at least minimal courtesy, but you won't get it here. If you're looking for a place where staff actually acknowledges you and wants your business, go literally anywhere else. I wouldn't return and I wouldn't recommend this spot to anyone. read more
