The concept is good BUT the customer service is not good. The food has good taste but a little pricey for getting mostly noodles.

The short: okay food, sub par serviceOf the 3 ramens offered, the Shoyu has the richest of flavor. The tonkotsu broth lacked depth of flavor. The sukiyaki noodles were not well mixed when cooking which resulted in clumping.Aside from the food, the service was more noteworthy. We exchanged only greetings, order, and good bye with our server. Not once did they ask how our food was nor did they offer to refill our empty water. Seemed like they couldn't wait to get people out of there in the middle of the afternoon.Will not be returning.

I stopped by Kajiken for a quick lunch in the area and there wasn’t a wait on a Wednesday. I had the original soupless ramen (I think they’re called abura soba) and the dish reminded me of Tsukemen. It had a nice flavor and noodles were cooked to perfection but I think I still prefer a more traditional take on ramen after all. But that’s my personal take and after all I enjoyed what I ordered here. However, I’ll say that the service was a little bit awkward… they weren’t busy but I wasn’t greeted right away and the server was clearly just chit chatting with another customer and didn’t pay any attention to me for a while after I was seated.

Get better broth.Lemonade is sweet waterService not
unique spot in chinatown with soupless ramen which isn’t offered anywhere else in the area. the service was fast and friendly. the food was pretty good. decor was also really
The food was great as well as the atmosphere/decor of the restaurant. The noodles were flavorful and well prepared. The only issue that dampened our experience was the attitude of the waitress. She seemed almost bothered that we were there. When asked where the restroom was she just waved off into the distance and wouldn’t actually speak to us. She made us feel very uncomfortable. The male server on staff switched with her and he was wonderful but at that point we just got our food to go and left.

honestly pretty disappointed- the ramen wasn’t anything special (especially the soup ones) especially for the price. i would recommend the dry, non-soup ramen and the broth in the tonkotsu ramen was pretty mid. service was great and atmosphere was lovely

Nice to see a new ramen place that specializes in brothless ramen! Overall the flavors r good - I would recommend the original and getting a side of chili oil (75 cents) if you like it spicy. The noodles were well seasoned and delicious. The pork was prob my fav bc it's grilled and had a nice charred flavor to it which really stands out in a broth less ramen. The portion size is relatively smaller given you don't have broth to fill you up so I would wish they add some extra things in there or higher amount of noodles or offer a larger portion size for those that are more hungry and can opt to pay for that accordingly versus just adding on a ton of extra things. The homura was ok - not a fan of ground pork and the flavors made it a bit too salty and not spicy enough. Cons: Service was a bit lacking the female server we had didn't even say a word to us during the whole thing. Literally didn't even say hi or welcome so kinda off putting. Of note the biggest thing I didn't like was when I got the soft boiled egg it only came with half an egg!! It was $1.50 too so would that mean I need to pay $3 for a whole egg?? Seems a bit excessive and also it was soaked in soy sauce so too salty and cold as well. I think the menu or staff should let the customer know that it is only half an egg up front as I would not pay 1.50 for half an egg or if the management can consider just giving a full egg since it felt very petty.
