Walked in, and immediately felt like I was in Mexico. A Mariachi was catching a late lunch (or early), and all the other customers were Mexican as well. The menu has a full selection of items. We opted for the carnitas special. Often this is the true test of a Mexican restaurant's ability and effort to provide the authentic deep, slow cooked flavours, of dry stewed meat. We were not disappointed. excellent carnitas, very flavourful, and well seasoned, including a nice dollop of guac. Decent prices, wonderful quality. Will repeat. This restaurant is brand new, it will be nice to see and taste how they evolve. Looking forward to trying more! read more

We came here for dinner on Thursday night and the place was actually very full. Their parking lot…read morewas very tiny, I was thinking how do people even get in and out of there because it was so compact. But there's a bunch of street parking and neighborhood parking by the restaurant. We got seated pretty quickly. Their menu is very large, it took us a while for us to decide on what to get and also to flag down a server. They had many large parties, even a birthday party on a weeknight which I understand. Also it's very spacious in there too, there's many tables for large parties and small ones. All the servers that took care of us were very friendly and helpful. I ordered four Carne Asada tacos and my boyfriend got the Chicken Fajitas with cheese on top. I also ordered a Pinada drink. The chips and salsa we had to start was good. The chips were crunchy, lightly seasoned, and crispy. It was fun trying out the different salsas to see what we liked the best. I enjoyed my Carne Asada tacos. Granted, I am from California and grew up with good Mexican food so I have very high standards. These tacos weren't the absolute best I've ever tasted, but they were tasty. Also for a single taco, it would've been $7. So seeing that much for a single taco was crazy to me, as I'm used to $4 (USD) ones. However, the carne asada meat was delicious. I think for me, I wish it had a little bit more onions and cilantro to give the overall dish more flavor. My Pinada drink was great. It was creamy, delicious, pretty much a Pina Colada without the alcohol. I loved it. All in all, we enjoyed our time here. For the area, this would be a solid choice to get authentic tacos and mexican food. As I said before, service was great. A little difficult to flag someone down given how busy it is, but they took care of us. I'd come back.

They even gave us some chips and salsa to munch on as we waited for our orders. We shared the Sopa de tortilla, Combo platter and the Cochinita pibil tacos. The soup was hearty and only slightly spicy (it looks spicier than it is). The hearty chucks of avocado and sprinkle of feta helps balance the deep flavors. The combo platter was a great way to try the best hits. It comes with a beef burrito, a chicken empanada and a cheese empanada with salad and beans on the side. The tacos were generously piled high with pork and the toppings of salsa/cheese/guac/beans came on the side so you can make your own flavor its combo. It felt like we were being fed by a grandma in her backyard. I'm not usually a bean fan, but I liked that they were served in a tortilla shell which I ended up eating also. Yums

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, vibrant, welcoming , colorful décor, lively music, and the comforting aroma of fresh tortillas. The food is the real highlight. The tacos were packed with flavor, the meat perfectly seasoned and tender, and the salsa had just the right balance of heat and freshness. You can tell everything is made fresh, from the guacamole to the house-made sauces. The portions were generous without sacrificing quality. Service was friendly, with staff happy to explain dishes and offer recommendations. It felt less like dining out and more like being invited over for a home-cooked meal. If you appreciate bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and authentic recipes, this restaurant absolutely delivers. I'll definitely be back.

Thank goodness my mom and aunt were able to snatch a table while I went to look for parking. My mom and I upgraded our bowls to the value set for an extra $5, which honestly felt super worth it since it came with a seaweed salad, miso soup, plus a choice of gyoza or takoyaki. We ended up getting one of each to share. My mom ordered the MeatLovers bowl, I got the Roast Beef abura soba, and my auntie went for the Niku Miso. The portions were pretty filling and the noodles had that chewy texture that makes every bite so satisfying. The sauce was not overly salty, which mixed well with the noodles, and it was given at the PERFECT amount without having the noodles overly soggy. They also had extra fried onions and chili oil on the table if you wanted to add more flavour and texture, which I appreciated. The roast beef was sliced super thin and paired really well with the rich sauce underneath the noodles. One small detail I also loved was how the extra cutlery and napkins were stored neatly inside a pull-out drawer at the table, which was very convenient and helped keep the table less cluttered. They even had baskets underneath the table for jackets and bags, which was honestly such a smart touch considering how tight and busy the space gets. By the time we finished eating, there was a huge crowd of people waiting outside for seats. Holy cow this place is popular. Overall, it was a fun and different dining experience compared to regular ramen spots, and I can definitely see why people have been hyping this place up.

We walked into a modern, casual space with a lively ramen shop atmosphere, where the open kitchen lets you watch fresh noodles being prepared in front of you. The setup is straightforward and efficient, with a menu that keeps the focus on different variations of aburasoba and a few appetizers to round things out. The energy in the room stays busy but comfortable, fitting the fast-paced style of the food. The aburasoba is the main reason to visit, and the dish packs a surprising amount of flavor without relying on a traditional broth. We tried the roast beef version, which stood out with tender slices of meat that added an extra layer of richness to the bowl. The noodles themselves have a nice chewy texture, and mixing everything together, the sauce, the toppings, and the onsen egg, created a rich and balanced bite that felt complete. The egg helped make the noodles even creamier, tying the dish together in a way that felt intentional. The menu also offers several other variations, giving you room to explore different combinations on future visits. Beyond the noodles, the appetizers are worth adding to the meal. We ordered the karaage and takoyaki, both of which came out crisp and well seasoned, and the soft shell crab added a lighter, crunchier option alongside the heavier noodle dish. The small plates are a good way to build out the table without overcomplicating the order. The ordering process is straightforward and the restaurant moves quickly even when it gets busy. The staff keeps the flow efficient, and the food comes out without much delay, which fits the casual, no-fuss style of the place. Watching the fresh noodles being prepared adds a layer of engagement to the visit, making the meal feel more connected to the kitchen. Kajiken is a great place to try something different from the usual ramen. The aburasoba has a unique texture and flavor profile that stands out on its own, offering a satisfying meal that feels both light and deeply savory. It is the kind of spot that rewards a visit when you want to step outside the standard bowl and experience a different side of Japanese noodle culture.

We sat near the window where there was a large tv on the wall that was showing a video of a walk around of what one can only assume, is Japan(?). Wherever it was, it was captivating to watch. After perusing their extensive menu, we opted for the Salmon Combo and the Orangeville roll. Both were excellent and presented beautifully. I would definitely love to come back here but the parking is an issue.

Service was good though they were quite busy for a weekday lunch, which is a good sign but can be hard to get a hold of someone. Otherwise, it was great service. Raw marinated crab - warning: this is a super messy dish! You get plastic gloves to help keep your hands relatively clean. We got the half spicy and half regular. The regular soy flavor helped to accentuate the natural fresh flavor of the raw crab. The spicy version has a really nice heat that grows over time. It was nice to have both options. The texture is something to get accustomed to but the crab pairs well on a bowl of rice. The beef stew we got was the seolleungtang. The broth was delicious, light yet flavorful. The beef was super tender and the sauce that came with it also pairs well. Noodles inside and nice and soft. Banchans were also great. The mashed potatoes was smooth, silky, and had a nice sweetness. Radish was spicy and acidic to cut the main dishes. Kimchi was crunchy and spicy with good acidity. Finally, the japchae was freshly made, noodles were good texture, nice hint of black pepper.

Inside is clean and spacious with enough tables to serve decent size groups. Decor is also clean and simple and nothing too fancy. I felt that you can have a casual meal here. The menu itself is extensive but not overly so. I think they're known for their gookbap (soup and rice dishes) so I went with their original beef gookbap and I have to say it was as tasty as the gookbap I had in Seoul. Super flavourful, hot and the meat was tender and tasty. Even my friend had a taste and immediately said he'd come back for that too. We also ordered the kimchi jeonggal (kimchi stew?) with tonkatsu, marinated raw crab, kimchi pancake and tteokgalbi. Everything was really good and we immediately said we'd come back for the food here. I want to try the rest of their menu! Recommended 10/10
