The food was delicious and the service was excellent. This was a new experience for me because there is no broth. You mix the noodles with the oil and seasonings. read more

This place is the real deal. Most places try too hard with toppings, but Kajiken focuses on what matters: the noodles and the base oil. It brought back so many memories of the small shops I used to visit in Tokyo. If you've lived in Japan, you know that specific 'umami' you can't find just anywhere. read more

The food was really good, but the service was too slow. We came to eat during our lunch break and ended up having to push a few meetings back because it took too long. On a weekend or a day without commitments, this is a nice spot with a very nice ambiance. read more

When we walked in, we didn't expect what this place had to offer. We ordered the Amakuchi and the Keema Curry. Quickly, the food came to us. The service was amazing. The first bite had tons of flavor. This place is a very relaxing restaurant. The food is very comforting. read more

Great spot for a yummy lunch. Service was really pleasant and the food was delicious.

I ordered the homura aburasoba and karrage and both were fantastic. The entire vibe of the area was laid back and easy to talk in. Service staff were both friendly and quick to take our order. read more

Soft opening and it is tasting good!! Right now they are offering soft drinks for free. Their ramen is flavorful and the tofu was tasty for a 12 year old kid. The place is clean and simple, and the staff is friendly. read more

The food was great, ordered a Homura Aburasoba, Wagyu Roast Beef Arubasoba, and a Oroshi Ponzu Karaage and really liked all three.

tried both the Original and the Spicy abura soba at Kajiken, and they were both excellent in their own way. The Original has a really clean, savory flavor that lets the quality of the noodles and sauce shine. The Spicy version adds just the right amount of heat -- flavorful and warming, not overpowering -- so you can still taste all the layers. The noodles are thick and perfectly chewy, and once everything is mixed together, the texture and flavor balance are spot on. It's rich and satisfying without feeling too heavy, which is not easy to pull off with abura soba. Service was quick and efficient, and the overall experience felt consistently high-quality. If you're deciding between Original and Spicy, honestly, you can't go wrong with either -- or just do both. read more

Great customer service. Good food and I love the decorations This used to a Chinese restaurant but the food here is so much better. It's a nice change of pace Will definitely be visiting again read more

I've only had aburasoba once, but it was absolutely delicious. Creamy and flavorful, though a little on the richer side. Nothing to complain about service, was fast and the waitress was kind enough to explain the menu to me. The place has been completely revamped since the last restaurant that was here. Very aesthetically pleasing and gives a calm vibe. read more

The food was amazing. Everything came out super fresh and super fast. I definitely come back.

Came for the soft opening - staff was friendly and did their best to explain the aburasoba - the aburasoba was delicious as a brothless ramen with an assortment of toppings. - Portions are decent - Restaurant itself was quite clean though the music was a little loud read more

Delicious food, great service, and the environment was clean and inviting. The wagyu beef was on point!

I am a black woman and the staff barely acknowledged me. They walked up to check on everyone else but basically ignored my presence. When it came to paying, they walked up to every other table but I had to walk up to the front to pay. When I asked for togo boxes they took their time and brought the bag separately. It felt as if I was unwelcome but I am also a paying customer. I expect to be treated as such, but it was clear as day that they didn't like the fact that I was black. Which really sucks because I enjoy their ramen but I would rather spend my money somewhere I feel welcomed. read more

As someone who really enjoys mazemen, I've been to Wadaya in Fullerton, Menya Hanabi in Irvine, and Mazera in La Habra. When I heard Kajiken opened in my neighborhood, I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, the mazemen was just okay and didn't feel particularly special. The ponzu karaage also lacked any real kick or standout flavor. One thing that stood out to me was that most mazemen restaurants typically provide a small portion of rice at the end to mix with the remaining sauce. Kajiken did not offer this, which felt unusual and a bit disappointing. Additionally, I asked the female server for a fork, and I saw her grab the fork by the front (the part that goes in the mouth) with her bare hand instead of holding it by the handle. From a health and hygiene standpoint, that made me uncomfortable. I believe additional staff training may be needed in this area. I had high expectations, so this experience was disappointing. read more

Delicious food and great, quick service! Food is unique and fresh with lots of flavor. I had the Keema Curry and my husband had the Original Aburasoba, both were so good! read more

My husband has tried this place and has been raving about it after his last three visits but we live over an hour away so when we were close by today, we had to go. I love a good Japanese restaurant but I was aware that this would be different than most Japanese places I'd tried before. I was wary because our 7yo can be particular but no matter- where there's rice and noodles, he will have something to eat. We ordered karaage chicken, rice and noodles on the side. He loved it all. My husband ordered the #1 and I got the original. The meat was great quality, the flavor unmatched and the noodles were the star of the show. The person that sat us, the man that helped us order and the cooks were all a pleasure. We will be back! read more

Food is delicious!! Who knew there was ramen without broth... Kajiken did! Their dishes are Ahhh-MAZING... so flavorful... like a party in your mouth!! I'll admit I was skeptical about the raw egg on top, but it's a game changer! read more

Soupless Ramen. Ramen without the Broth. Instead meats vegetables are mixed with oils and sauces to give you a unique tasting noodle dish. My son and daughter introduced me to the Northern California San Mateo Michelin Guide location and this one is its first SoCal Location. It kinda hidden away in the Stater Bros shopping center (right side) that is near the St Jude Providence Hospital. It is a bright and clean spot and as people take note you will be waiting in long lines out the door like the San Mateo location. The noodles are delightful, a nice chewiness and flavor packed. I usually order the Top 1 which is spicy but tried something new today and it was not spicy Amakuchi pork which hit the spot and my daughter had her usual original Aburasoba. I recommend the noodles since that's what they are famous for. They also had some rice dishes we tried the wagyu bowl which was okay. But the star dishes are the noodles. The karaage chicken and chashu bowls are our normal to go to items in San Mateo but maybe next time. It's not ramen and it's not fried noodles but something completely unique. If you want some tasty noodles but not fried or soaked in broth -- here is your answer! Enjoy the same great taste as in NorCal without the long lines for now. read more

Service was really good! He was constantly checking up on us. The food was also amazing.

Amazing service the staff are so attentive to the customers needs. And the food was just divine.

New spot in the Brea Fullerton area that is a welcome change to the neighborhood. It was my first time trying aburasoba and it did not disappoint. Lots of flavors and great service even during their soft opening. read more

first time here during their soft opening! food was quick and flavorful. we had two of the top 1 and an appetizer. will be back again !

Great place to hang out! I had their most popular no.1 noodle. Friendly staff, restaurant is new with a modern vibe.

Great food, first time here enjoyed the Ramen and the appetizer, wil definitely be back to try all the other bowls!

Had an outstanding meal at Kajiken--what a find! I ordered the wagyu beef aburasoba, and it completely blew me away. The combination of sauces, tender wagyu slices, and fresh ingredients created such a harmonious explosion of flavor in every bite. No broth needed--these thick, homemade noodles carried everything beautifully. If you're craving something indulgent and unique, this is it. 5 stars! read more

Hole in the wall but everything is brand new and fresh, service is amazingly fast. Food was delicious. We've been to both this location and the San Mateo location. In San Mateo, the line is routinely out the door but this place hasn't been discovered yet. I recommend you come soon before this hidden gem is discovered and the line gets long! read more
