Very savoury ramen broth! I also enjoyed the Gesokara (fried squid tentacles)/calamari & fried oysters - they weren't exemplary but not bad as appetizers. My only qualm is the abundance of fried food options for appetizers, and more importantly how little chashu pork I got with my spicy tonkotsu ramen: I had 3 tiny, extra-thin slices which felt skimpy. 🍜🦪🦑
The soba was so good !!! A server recommended it, so tastyyy, I'm glad I tried something new (never had sauce noodle before) ❤❤❤
We tried the fried chicken appetizer, the Tori & Sukiyaki noodles. All were delicious! Went during a weekday, so it was pretty empty and our orders came fast. Would go back!

The atmosphere is lively and intimate, featuring cute decorations and comfortable seating that make it easy to enjoy a meal. The menu offers a variety of options at reasonable prices, making it a nice find in a big city.
Customers have praised the food, especially the shoyu tonkatsu ramen, known for its flavorful broth. The regular tonkatsu ramen has received mixed reviews, with some finding it bland but improving with chili oil. The appetizers, like gyoza and age tofu, have been enjoyed as tasty starters. The homura don, a ground pork rice bowl, disappointed one reviewer, lacking flavor and a generous portion of meat. On the other hand, the sukiyaki soupless ramen has been highlighted as a favorite dish by a customer, who appreciated the delicious beef broth with caramelized onion.
Despite varied opinions on some dishes, the service remains consistently rated as excellent, with attentive staff ensuring quick meal delivery and water refills. Many diners express a desire to return and try more items from the menu. Overall, Kajiken Chicago is a must-visit spot for noodle lovers and those seeking a good dining experience in Chinatown.
