We visited Kajiken around 12 pm on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all. We were seated immediately, and the staff was welcoming throughout our visit. I ordered the Homura Aburasoba and it was SO delicious. The bowl was incredibly flavorful, and I loved how every element added something to the overall dish. Everything worked really well together, and there wasn't anything that felt unnecessary or out of place. I really enjoyed my meal and would love to come back to try more of the menu. Definitely a spot I'm looking forward to revisiting!

I'm obsessed with Kajiken in the Bay Area and when I heard they opened a location in SoCal I had to go. The flavors are exactly the same. It's heavy, perfectly savory, and a saucy ramen.

Friendly, quaint restaurant. Food was deliciously prepared and served promptly after I ordered. Dessert: matcha cheesecake

9-11-2026 First, I'm impressed with their toilet paper wall, like what in the world. I've been visiting lots of public restrooms lately, so this was serendipitous. This would be great on Poop Maps. I later noticed they have different types of rolls as well. So glad they have the soft (Charmin?) textures, too. This somehow scratches the itch in my mild OCD brain. The door handles of the front are cute metal chopsticks as well, and I've been looking forward to trying this restaurant. So, I'm hoping it exceeds my expectations, as it is very unique in concept and aesthetic. The interior is cute, but a bit cramped, with not too much outdoor seating either. Since I fasted the entire day, this was particularly delicious, and looked as good as it tasted! The serving size is generous, and the chashu slices were huge. Normally, I dislike pork since it is fatty, but it was melty. The noodles are extremely hot, and it did not take long for mobile order. I'd 100% recommend this to ramen lovers, and I'm glad to have tried this today. This has been one of my favorite meals so far. The noodles are starchy and thick, and the sauces have an interesting, unfamiliar flavor.

Wanted to check this place out because saw a lot of content from social media. When we got there at around 4 pm on a Wednesday, there was no one inside, but the space was nice and clean. We ordered the keema curry noodles, and the spicy minced pork. The food came out pretty fast and tasted pretty good. However, the service was honestly not the best. Staff that took our order did not seem nice or friendly, and was mumbling so the entire experience felt a little weird and off putting. I don't know if I'll be back any time soon, but food was pretty good not gonna lie, I liked the noodle texture a lot.

First time an Kajijen last Friday. We unfortunately came on one of the hotter days of the year and their AC wasn't working so it was quite a sweat while we were eating. Smallish restaurant so expect to wait if you don't beat the dinner rush. We decided to get their regular and spicy abura soba. It comes with all the fixings like chili oil and vinegar. Taste was excellent but very strong. It does need some balancing if you're somewhat sensitive to strong taste like I am. But overall one of the better dry ramen spots in the area!

Came here for lunch today and had a great experience! Appetizers (5/5): the karaage, takoyaki, and cold tofu appetizers were surprisingly really good. Aburasoba (4/5): tried 3 different kinds and my favorites were the original and Wagyu. Highly recommend getting an order of spicy cod roe on the side, adds a nice flavor to the soba! Overall I enjoyed the mazemen here over a few other places I've tried. It doesn't feel as heavy if you add some vinegar and I like that they have different flavors. Customer service was excellent as well.

Homura Aburasoba. Mixed up and ready to eat.

First time trying this place and it was really good. Came with the family and we got a variety of things including the homura aburasoba, original aburasoba, roast beef aburasoba, and a couple of different karaage and gyoza. The pictures made it look like a pretty small bowl, but it was a decent sized portion. I got the homura and it was really good. Noodles were nice and chewy and it was very flavorful when you mix it all together and almost tastes like a chinese dan dan noodle. Got two types of karaage and they were really good. Very nice and juicy and went well with the sauces, especially the wasabi mayo sauce. I'd stay away from the gyoza, I didn't think they were that good. Place is pretty tiny, so it fills up pretty quickly if they're busy. The workers were all really friendly and allowed us to put two tables together for our group of 7. Overall, it's slightly different than regular ramen. I think I'd like to come back and try some of the other stuff on the menu.

Crazy good flavor first time having this style and was super impressed! The garlic flakes and sauces that you can add on the side was taught to us by our super friendly waiter, great service and definitely get the ponzu karrage it's tangy and delicious got the one without Incase for the kids and they liked both

Can I start by saying this restaurant's food is absolutely delicious? I inhaled my bowl and need to come back as soon as possible! Kajiken is a small, cozy restaurant, but you feel cared for as soon as you walk in. We were checked in on multiple times. I ended up ordering their recommendation, the Homura Aburasoba. While I didn't find it to be spicy, there are also other condiments (such as chili oil) that you can add to the bowl to your taste. I substituted the raw egg for ajitama, which was a good choice for me. I would definitely get it again!

Was wanting a different ramen spot and this came up. Fortunately, was able to join waitlist (scan a QR code to join) even with less than 45 minutes to closing. Aburasoba noodles are served without the broth, mixed in with different sauces and spices. My companions got the top 1 Homaru that has minced spicy pork, green onions, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, crispy garlic and the signature chewy noodles. Option for raw egg yolk, or substitute poached egg or seasoned boiled egg. I opted for the non spicy Amakuchi, which had the same ingredients as the Top 1 but more a sweet salty flavor. I wanted the poached egg for my bowl. We also got fried gyoza, miso soup and plain rice. Single server handled all the front end business efficiently, taking orders, serving and bussing tables at the end. Very humorous bathroom, has changing table. A bit out of my way( 20 minutes plus drive) but worth it. Will try to come before so near closing time! The condiments available include chili oil, vinegar, sesame seeds and crispy garlic. I added some of each after mixing everything first. The kitchen staff cracked out orders for dine in as well as takeout.

IG/TT @eatwkris @kajikenusa in Fullerton specializes in brothless ramen or mazemen and it's so good!! They have their classic special but my favorite is their unique roast beef ramen. It comes with a tangy yogurt sauce that adds creaminess and zest to every bite. They also have tons of vegetarian options and I heard they're adding more to the menu soon. Definitely recommend and the waitress told me her favorite was the mushroom and curry so I have to come back to try them all! kajiken 1034 E Bastanchury Rd, Fullerton, CA 92835

We came in expecting something similar to dipping ramen, which we have tried before but always found it to be too salty. Additionally, we had this style at another dry ramen spot though their noodles were too cold. So my expectation was not very high. Having said that, we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. -we got the top number 1 and number 2. It was not too salty at all and a little too creamy. They had vinegar, but we requested lime/lemon and that really hit the spot. With the little bit of acidity, it was perfect. -service was great, for a small spot it was very modern and intimate. -prices were a little higher, though they offer complimentary tea which really helps cut the richness of the sauce. Overall 5/5 This spot changed us from people who preferred soup ramen only to now wanting to come back to try some of the other options.

Ok I went in with expectations of traditional ramen (with soup broth) and discovered they offer Ramen of a different sort. I hesitated initially but I'm so glad I jumped in. This place is otherworldly when it comes to noodles and it's something you have to experience for yourself.. but I would advise jump jumping in selecting something and just go for it. It is wonderful. And you'll return. Trust me. read more

We ordered the aburasoba, wagyu rice bowl, chicken karage. The dry noodle was ok but the rice bowl and chicken was a fail. The rice bowl had five pieces of so called wagyu which was under cooked with no flavor. Also the rice bowl had sour cream (cold) which didn't pair very well with the hot rice which gave it bad dairy flavor. The chicken pieces were too big which made them overcooked on the outside and almost raw inside. The interior was clean and bright but sadly they had the door open with little to no AC on a hot day. Sadly we will not be back. read more

My wife suggested a new aburasoba place in Fullerton (off Bastanchury and Brea Blvd.). Honestly, I'm not a fan of aburasoba, but Kajiken has made set my taste in a new direction. The ramen is delicious!! I ordered the spicy Nikumori ramen, which was fantastic! I substituted the raw egg for the seasoned soft boiled egg (ajitama) which was cooked perfectly. I will definitely go back again and explore their menu. read more

Came in with my wife and ordered No.1 and No.3. No.3 was good, but No.1 was the clear winner - bold, savory, and sesame-forward with a spicy, umami kick that reminded me of Dan Dan noodles. Fried chicken was juicy and crispy, takoyaki was soft inside with great sauce, and the service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back. read more

I have been to the San Mateo location in NorCal, and love it a lot. So I was excited to see that one opened in Fullerton. This location is much smaller, but the quality of the food was just as good. I always get the Homura Aburasoba and Takoyaki, and highly recommend them. I went here for lunch and did not have to wait, but once more people hear about this place, I'm sure there will be lines just like the San Mateo location. read more

Looking for an ambient cozy Japanese mazemen spot without feeling heavy after your meal? Definitely worth trying this abura soba spot! Abura done is a type of Mazemen but is lighter and definitely delicious in its own right! This location has great options and plenty of add ons! They also have rice bowls for those not feeling noodles. Tried the Original and their Top 1 option noodles both were delicious and satisfying! Tried the ponzu Karage appetizer as well! So juicy and surprisingly doesn't need the spicy mayo to make it taste better! The workers here were very polite and the service was exceptional, quick and efficient! They help answered questions and I spotted one of the workers showing the ropes to someone who was experiencing their first abura soba! Great customer service great food!

Specialties

Aburasoba is a noodle dish similar to ramen. However, unlike ramen (which uses broth), its flavors come from a special blend of oils and sauces. At Kajiken, we prioritize our fresh homemade noodles—crafted specifically for aburasoba. These noodles are mixed with our secret sauces and specially selected toppings.

I wondered because the service is quick and the staff is nice. Our appetizers were great no issues there. But apoun tasting my ramen it became more obvious to me why this place fell off and didn't have a soul inside. The tonkatsu ramen here use to be DELICIOUS. An experience of flavors and textures it was like cooked for 16 hours or something like that but idk if they got rid of that ,for some reason today my ramen was just bland and flavorless and not that hot and the meat was a little undercooked for my liking. I typically don't like to add too many condiments or chili oil to my ramen the broth alone should be able to stand on its own but it just did not. It was lowkey kinda nasty. And the noodles didn't help. And if I recall the last few times I've been here I recalled the same issue. The sauce on the teriyaki chicken was almost gelatinous. It looked like snot, it had this strange texture. I've never tasted something so gross. It Tasted worse than it looked and it looked terrible No joke. I hope they're able to fix these things because it's such a staple. This place really needs to get it together like how it was in 2016-2019! Those were some good times here!

For the price, the portions were generous and everything we ordered was delicious. We had the ramen, chicken katsu, and Korean chicken wings in two flavors--sweet & spicy and soy garlic. Both flavors were so good! Our server was very friendly and professional and always had a smile on their face, which made the experience even better. The place is a little small and parking can be limited, but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be coming back!

The curry was good, I've had better, but satisfied the craving. Also took a sip of my friends ramen broth and it didn't taste super authentic but was still good. I would probably try more of the Korean dishes rather than Japanese dishes here next time. It's interesting that they serve both full menus.

Some by a dollar or more for each item. There was also a service charge added to the receipt. After the charge posted to my card, they added additional money to the tip which finally made me decide to leave a negative review which I hate doing. There were two other people dining in and they had to go up to the register to get anything from the server and eventually just left before ordering. We should've did the same. Waste of money and shady. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!

Parking is a little weird (half the space in front is handicap/bank parking) so look around if you have to. Usually it's fine though. Food here is great, and it's why I come here! Gyoza is crispy and juicy and hot. Ramen noodles are all unique and more of that handmade vibe. We got the mentaiko ramen and green chili shio ramen. If you want a less fatty broth, then shio is your choice. Savory and creamy? Pretty much anything else. Always a good time here

A few months ago my wife and I wanted to eat at Kitakata Buena Park. We understood there would be a wait. What we could not bear was the strong, revolting smell of sewage wafting through the parking lot just outside the restaurant. The smell had nothing to do with the restaurant. The smell came from a sewer line somewhere in the vicinity of the restaurant. Be that as it may, we left about five minutes into our wait. I knew that waiting any longer for a seat inside the restaurant would result in my wife and I eating our meal with the stench of sewage tainting every slurp and every bite. The problem is a city sewage problem, but Kitakata bears the burden. Please let me know the problem has been addressed by the city and I will return.

I had a positive experience at Kajiken overall. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and service was smooth. I tried the aburasoba, which was interesting and clearly well-prepared. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the dish was flavorful. For me personally, the flavor profile leaned more tangy/vinegar-forward than what I usually prefer, so it wasn't exactly my favorite style- but that really comes down to personal taste rather than quality. If you enjoy bold, savory flavors with a tangy kick, this may be right up your alley. Even though it wasn't quite my personal preference, I appreciated the quality and experience and would still recommend giving it a try read more

Saw some reviews on poor service and just wanted to say that wasn't the case when I came to dine. My waitress was pretty busy working the restaurant by herself, but she still made great effort to make sure I was okay during the entirety of my meal. I didn't want to take her from the rest of the house, so I didn't catch her name, but she's easy to recognize with her red hair if you see her. I had the mushroom and calamari that she recommended and it was excellent. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the calamari tasted great with the spicy mayo. I will be returning and I would recommend this place to anyone trying to find a chill meal and friendly service. read more

I came to Kajiken with high expectations for mazemen, but unfortunately it didn't live up to them--especially when compared to Wadaya. The mazemen here lacked balance. The flavors didn't come together well and felt muddled rather than intentional. The noodles were another letdown: thinner, less bouncy, and missing that satisfying chew you expect from good mazemen. Overall, it just didn't have the depth or texture that makes the dish crave-worthy. Service was below average. Our waitress wasn't very communicative or helpful, which didn't improve the experience. With better mazemen available elsewhere, this isn't a place I'd come back to. read more

Wagyu roast beef aburasoba is the best. Would recommend over the homura and nikumori if you like a more creamy flavor!

Kajiken Ramen's noodles are made in-house using very fresh ingredients, and the pork is especially delicious.

When we tried it, however, it literally tasted like an octopus donut hole, and my friends were looking at me funny for even ordering it. I was so disappointed since I was super excited to even see it on the menu as I hadn't had it since being in the bay area for school. Aside from that, the ramen is great and comes out really fast, and the servers are all super on top of it every time i've come in. I honestly would recommend this place to anyone in the Fullerton area, especially students looking for a late night meal.

The…read morelocation is super convenient since it's right in the main shopping area and plenty of free packing lot space available. It was pretty busy on the weekend, but the wait moved quickly since it's a handroll bar, and I noticed you can also make reservations or join waitlist ahead of time. The space was clean, open, and comfortable, and our server was really friendly and explained how everything worked. I also liked that the menu had photos and clear descriptions of what was in each handroll, which made ordering really easy even if you're not very familiar with different types of fish. We tried the Truffle Mushroom, Toro & Truffle, Uni & Toro, and A5 Wagyu from the premium handrolls. Everything was fresh and delicious, especially the uni and toro, and the Wagyu was incredibly soft and tender. We also added the regular salmon and scallop handrolls, and both were really good. The Crispy Rice Tartar was a great appetizer too -- crispy, flavorful, and a nice way to start the meal. I'd recommend starting with that, choosing a few premium handrolls, and then adding regular handrolls or inari if you're still hungry. They also prepared the rolls one by one at a really nice pace so everything stayed fresh and fast. For drinks, we had the White Strawberry Matcha and Japanese Apple Juice. Both were light and not overly sweet, so I'd recommend them if you prefer something more refreshing and subtle. Overall, really enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.
