First time here. Long line to get in but it moved fairly quickly. Had the Roast beef Aburasoba. Mind-Boggling GOOD! The flavor was out of this world! The service was fantastic!! I can’t wait to go back again!
The casual vibe and the traditional Japanese welcoming is so inviting. Everything we had was delicious. I definitely recommend this spot!
Great food! Great service!

Kajiken on Capitol Hill offers a unique and flavorful dining experience with its specialty, broth-less ramen called Aburasoba. The restaurant is known for its delicious, chewy noodles and flavorful sauces that customers find satisfying and well-cooked. The menu features options like Homura Aburasoba and Roast Beef Aburasoba, both praised for their thick noodles and rich flavors. One highlight is the Roost Beef Aburasoba, considered some of the best noodles since leaving Japan. The dishes are often described as filling but mainly composed of carbs, with a seafood hint in the flavor profile, especially from the fish powder used in the dishes.
The service is friendly and helpful, and the food comes out quickly, making it a good spot for a casual lunch or catch-up. The restaurant is a small, hole-in-the-wall location near Cal Anderson, and it tends to get busy, with a typical wait time of around 15 minutes. The takoyaki, served as a shared appetizer, is decent but not outstanding, featuring a nice piece of octopus. The dishes are considered a novelty, best enjoyed once for their unique style, rather than a place for a regular routine.
Nut allergy considerations are noted, with sesame present but no nuts in the bowls. Overall, Kajiken delivers an interesting, flavorful, and quick meal experience worth trying, especially for those interested in trying broth-less ramen with a Japanese twist.
