Gonna give it 4 stars because while the aburasoba is good I'd like them to make mazesoba too, which has more complex ingredients, preparation, and flavor. Mogomogu in Sawtelle, LA sets the benchmark for great mazesoba on the west coast.

In Korea, I would have this same dish, but it was called mazesoba. There, it was honestly some of the best tasting food I had ever had in my life. This place comes in very close to that, and I will absolutely be back to eat here again.
Kajiken was an indelible experience. Delicious cuisine and ambiance. Definitely will visit again in the future. Beef was amazing, a perfectly filling proportion. My thanks.

I ordered takeout from Uber eats. I added an additional topping of bok choy to my noodles and all I got was literally one leaf of a bok choy. Not even a full bok choy! This single leaf came in a medium sized takeout container and it looked like the saddest waste of plastic. I felt so ripped off. How could they put that leaf in there and let it sit alone like that?? It needs to be with at least a few other leaves to maintain its identity and integrity as a bok choy.
The noodles were pretty good though, we got the nikumori aburasoba and soboro aburasoba. The nikumori was definitely more flavorful, would recommend.
If you're looking to add some veggies to your ramen, opt for the cabbage. Definitely avoid the bok choy unless you wanna get scammed.

YUM! So good, we have been wanting to hear for so long and I am glad we finally made it. We came on a Saturday at 11:50am, and we didn’t wait long in line at all because we said yes to a table in the sun that others did not want, and it worked out great. Absolutely loved our food, the karaage chicken was good but we wish it had sauce. Both the aburasobas we got were awesome, we like the curry one the best.

Service was good, food was above average but not worth the line wait in my opinion. If there is no line I would come back

Tried the Tantan Aburasoba and it's beyond my expectations. Love the peanut sauce so much.
Arubasoba is good, range from tasty to almost too rich. The karaage pieces are cut a bit too big but the chicken is quality and well seasoned.
Top item was easily the squid kara age tho - that was delicious.

Long line, great food, not super fast service but not too slow. Beware if you have a sesame allergy you can only have 2 of the entrees. Menu labels which dishes have sesame seeds but ignores sesame oil.
Dietary restrictions: Misleading menu, thankfully we asked the waiter and didn't trust the menu.

This place serves up some really delicious aburasoba! I got the mushroom aburasoba and it was excellent! The noodles have a good bite, and you can add any extra toppings that you like. Never knew vinegar + chili oil would taste so good! Do try the chili paste and sesame seeds available on the table. They add so much flavor to the bowl. This place always has a line but it moves quickly- we waited for ~15 min before getting seated on a Saturday afternoon and it was totally worth it! I’d highly recommend this place and we can’t wait to be back!

Pretty good noodles with quick, friendly service and reasonably ample seating. Got seated right away on Wednesday evening at 5:30pm.
Food: We got the original with a raw egg and mentaiko on the side. And the diced chicken one with corn and bean sprouts on the side. We also ordered the gyoza and a premium sweet potato beer from Japan. Everything was great. Mine was a tad salty but I think it’s bc the mentaiko was salty. I would return.
