Fantastic food! Our first time trying aburasoba and greatly enjoyed it! Definitely adding to our go to food spots! read more

IG/TT @eatwkris @kajikenusa in Fullerton specializes in brothless ramen or mazemen and it's so good!! They have their classic special but my favorite is their unique roast beef ramen. It comes with a tangy yogurt sauce that adds creaminess and zest to every bite. They also have tons of vegetarian options and I heard they're adding more to the menu soon. Definitely recommend and the waitress told me her favorite was the mushroom and curry so I have to come back to try them all! kajiken 1034 E Bastanchury Rd, Fullerton, CA 92835 read more

Was wanting a different ramen spot and this came up. Fortunately, was able to join waitlist (scan a QR code to join) even with less than 45 minutes to closing. Aburasoba noodles are served without the broth, mixed in with different sauces and spices. My companions got the top 1 Homaru that has minced spicy pork, green onions, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, crispy garlic and the signature chewy noodles. Option for raw egg yolk, or substitute poached egg or seasoned boiled egg. I opted for the non spicy Amakuchi, which had the same ingredients as the Top 1 but more a sweet salty flavor. I wanted the poached egg for my bowl. We also got fried gyoza, miso soup and plain rice. Single server handled all the front end business efficiently, taking orders, serving and bussing tables at the end. Very humorous bathroom, has changing table. A bit out of my way( 20 minutes plus drive) but worth it. Will try to come before so near closing time! The condiments available include chili oil, vinegar, sesame seeds and crispy garlic. I added some of each after mixing everything first. The kitchen staff cracked out orders for dine in as well as takeout. read more

Wanted to check this place out because saw a lot of content from social media. When we got there at around 4 pm on a Wednesday, there was no one inside, but the space was nice and clean. We ordered the keema curry noodles, and the spicy minced pork. The food came out pretty fast and tasted pretty good. However, the service was honestly not the best. Staff that took our order did not seem nice or friendly, and was mumbling so the entire experience felt a little weird and off putting. I don't know if I'll be back any time soon, but food was pretty good not gonna lie, I liked the noodle texture a lot. read more

Can I start by saying this restaurant's food is absolutely delicious? I inhaled my bowl and need to come back as soon as possible! Kajiken is a small, cozy restaurant, but you feel cared for as soon as you walk in. We were checked in on multiple times. I ended up ordering their recommendation, the Homura Aburasoba. While I didn't find it to be spicy, there are also other condiments (such as chili oil) that you can add to the bowl to your taste. I substituted the raw egg for ajitama, which was a good choice for me. I would definitely get it again! read more

Kajiken - Homura Aburasoba - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

First time trying this place and it was really good. Came with the family and we got a variety of things including the homura aburasoba, original aburasoba, roast beef aburasoba, and a couple of different karaage and gyoza. The pictures made it look like a pretty small bowl, but it was a decent sized portion. I got the homura and it was really good. Noodles were nice and chewy and it was very flavorful when you mix it all together and almost tastes like a chinese dan dan noodle. Got two types of karaage and they were really good. Very nice and juicy and went well with the sauces, especially the wasabi mayo sauce. I'd stay away from the gyoza, I didn't think they were that good. Place is pretty tiny, so it fills up pretty quickly if they're busy. The workers were all really friendly and allowed us to put two tables together for our group of 7. Overall, it's slightly different than regular ramen. I think I'd like to come back and try some of the other stuff on the menu. read more

Kajiken - Homura Aburasoba. Mixed up and ready to eat. - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

I decided to try the nikumori aburasoba this time. The bowl features a lot of meat and had spicy minced pork and pork slices. As usual, the noodles were nicely firm. I enjoyed the default portion size and ended dinner full. I got my aburasoba without green onions this time and enjoyed my meal more because of that. The oroshi ponzu karaage had large pieces and was worth the cost as a shareable side dish. Service was good as we didn't wait long to receive our food. Like always, our server encouraged us to mix the noodles well. Luckily, there wasn't a wait for a table. However, the restaurant is a little small yet comfortable. read more

We came in expecting something similar to dipping ramen, which we have tried before but always found it to be too salty. Additionally, we had this style at another dry ramen spot though their noodles were too cold. So my expectation was not very high. Having said that, we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. -we got the top number 1 and number 2. It was not too salty at all and a little too creamy. They had vinegar, but we requested lime/lemon and that really hit the spot. With the little bit of acidity, it was perfect. -service was great, for a small spot it was very modern and intimate. -prices were a little higher, though they offer complimentary tea which really helps cut the richness of the sauce. Overall 5/5 This spot changed us from people who preferred soup ramen only to now wanting to come back to try some of the other options. read more

*Note: TDLR at the end of the review Homura Aburasoba: 6.5/10 Nothing mind blowing, but it hits the spot when you have the craving. The portions feel a little small compared to other places I've been (maybe I'm just a big back). Adding the additional seasonings on the table help quite a bit. Service: 6/10 They were quite busy and were stressing to get customers in and out so there wouldn't be a waitlist. The owner went up to all the tables asking customers to order from the QR menu because there were a couple people that wanted to eat, but there were no tables available. Not my favorite. Ambiance: 4/10 I gave up my table inside so a larger group could be seated. Being outside wasn't a problem at all, but the particular placement of the table is a little uncomfortable with how face to face you are with customers on the other side of the window. The table was also not level. I'm sure if you sit inside, it's perfectly fine, but this was just my experience. TDLR: I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. If it was the only thing open late, sure why not. Portions kinda small and service is okay. Sitting inside is the better option if you have the choice. Parking is easy. read more

We went to Kajiken at opening on a Sunday. Parking was plentiful and easy. The interior was clean and cohesive. We were quickly seated by a kind man. We ordered the original and the wagyu roast beef. Both were delicious, although the sauce of the wagyu roast beef gets heavy after a while. On the table were a variety of toppings and sauces like chili oil, sesame seeds, and crunchy garlic. Overall, this was a fulfilling meal and service was helpful, quick, and attentive. We will definitely come back if we're in the area! read more

Locates in a big plaza, we went during weekday lunch so there was no wait. The service is very friendly and attentive. They are specialized in Nagoya-style aburasoba, which is made with wheat noodles and soy-based sauce for soup-less ramen. - Top 1: 4.5/5. Very flavorful, with every bite you'd get a little bit of everything: from minced pork, green onion, to seaweed and bamboo shoot. - Original: 4.6/5. Recommended for first time visit! read more

When we lived in Chicago, Kajiken was one of our go to places so I was super excited to see that one opened up locally. As a vegetarian, it is hard to find a good soupless ramen, and while it is not as great as the Chicago option, the mushroom vegetarian bowl is good. My husband and one of our friends got the Homura and enjoyed that. We came at an off time so there was not a wait. The place is clean and the service was nice. Will be back. read more

Came by Kajiken on a Sunday night around 6pm. == FOOD == Can I just say that this was THE best abura soba that I have ever tasted???? It was seriously sooo amazing that right after the meal, my friends and I were like, "Okay, so when are we coming back?" We got 2 of the wagyu abura soba and one of the homura abura soba. We also got a Ponzu Karaage. The ponzu was just the right amount of citrus with the radish topping. The chicken was also very juicy and tender. I had the wagyu abura soba and I don't know what the yogurt sauce was, but it made the dish because it was creamy and the sauce was amazing. I did not add any vinegar, but added a TON of garlic powder and sesame seeds. My friend added vinegar to her wagyu abura soba to make it less heavy. == SERVICE == The staff were all super nice and very friendly. The odler man explained to us how to eat abura soba, and that it was a no-broth ramen. He was also very patient while we decided what we wanted. == AMBIANCE == Please go into the bathroom when you come to this restaurant in-person. The dozens of toilet paper rolls are the highlight!!! Other than that, the palce is very new and bright inside. read more

Glad I got to try this spot! I got the mushroom aburasoba (which might be their only vegetarian option with noodles). I didn't even finish the full portion because they actually give a lot of noodles and toppings. The noodles are thick and chewy and I really enjoyed the savory sauce to mix it in. The mushrooms and spinach on top were good additions because they were seasoned and tasty. I wish the tofu was grilled or fried instead of boiled. And there are plenty of toppings. Also, at other mazemen places I've been, they give a scoop of rice to eat with at the end but here they don't do that The waiters are pretty nice and the dishes for 2 of us came out really quickly! read more

Kajiken - Mushroom aburasoba - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

Yummm had a friend recommend this place and was super excited to they opened up a location down in SoCal! I really like the noodles as it was perfectly cooked and wasn't too mushy. I think the flavors mixed pretty well and was pretty delicious. I like that the egg if you're not a fan of the egg yolk you can opt to have it cooked or poached! It definitely can get pretty busy so keep that in mind when stopping by. It's a smaller restaurant so they can only have a couple groups at a time. read more

Kajiken - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

wanted to try this place bcos I heard fm a friend who had gone to their San Mateo location many times and gave good reviews. Went on a weekday for lunch when they just opened. inside was clean and the manager was friendly. we ordered their top 3 dishes along w the original aburasoba. All 4 ramen were fairly good but the worst dish (not bad just not to our liking) might be the most expensive one, the wagyu aburasoba. the pic looked tastier than what we received. the wagyu just didn't taste particularly special for the price. the best one was either the homura aburasoba or the original aburasoda. the taste and the noodle for those 2 suited our taste and ironically those 2 also happened to be the least expensive. read more

Kajiken - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

Wanted to try this place for awhile. Read some of the good reviews and it lived up to them. This place use to be a Chinese food place that served noodles and dumpling, so at first I was surprised it took over the location. Staff were friendly, and especially the lady that helped with our ordering, super friendly, and was proactive in getting us extra napkins, offering warm tea, and extra utensils. The lady knew what we wanted before we even asked. Awesome, inviting service, felt welcoming. We ordered several dishes, and the thing that stood out for me was the portion size. It was just right. Not too much, and not too little. Flavors were good, nothing overly salty, and they had extra condiments to spice up the meals if you want. The texture of the noodle is nice too, perfectly chewy and soft. Depending on your choice of egg, will make the noodles creamier or not. If you don't like poached or raw egg over your noodle, they do have the option to have Ajitama seasoned egg (kinda like the hardboiled tea eggs) in case you have someone that prefers that. Decor was nice, and the bathroom has it's own interesting personality with all the toilet paper rolls available. read more

Finally a true dry ramen from Japan, the real Aburasoba, open in SoCal. This is their 2nd store and was informed that more stores are opening this year. The menu is less compare to Japan and looks like adjusted to local taste. Locally sourced Ramen noodle is just the right texture. The Yogurt sauce is not strong enough. The secret sauce is not enough for me. On dry side. Even the spicy Homura is not spicy enough. Good thing they have plenty condiments. Add more Chili, Chili Oil, bit of Vinegar, crushed Garlic and sesame. Taste is up a notch and more yummy. Love the crushed garlic. Service was fast. They have more trained chef during peak hours. Otherwise it will be 1 Waiter/Server/Cashier and 1 Cook. Ambiance is modern dining. Small place at Morning Side Plaza, next to Stater Bros Supermarket. One of the best dry ramen so far. read more

Recently came back to Kajiken again, and can say, it held up. The service was consistent with the first time I came, and today, I decided to try something new. Their oroshi ponzu karaage is as good as advertised. The grated daikon radish is a highlight and adds so much to the dish. Even though the menu suggests that the karaage is made to be juicy, not crispy, it still ends up being crispy. The juiciness of the chicken never disappoint. The aburasoba is still phenomenal. The consistency gives this place an even higher rating for me. Consistent with my last review, this place is a MUST-TRY if you're in the area. Even if you aren't, coming out to try Kajiken is definitely recommended. You don't get these kinds of flavors in many places. read more

Love it! Great addition to the Fullerton food spots :) it popped up on my Yelp feed and we've gotten takeout from here a few times now. My current favorite is the soboro bowl but I also enjoy the original as well. Similar to Wadaya, it's a brothless noodle where you mix it all up and eat the delicious result. It's lighter and less of a flavor bomb (in a good way!) than Wadaya so if you're not in the mood for that, try Kajiken! Food is always ready quickly and you can order directly from their website. Haven't dined it yet but it's on my to do list! read more

I live close to this strip mall and let me tell you that this very location is cursed. The past few businesses have not lasted long at all so I've seen many restaurants come and go over the years. I was excited to see ramen spot open up and the reviews looked very promising. Here's what we ordered: **Homura Aburasoba: I've had mazemen before but not aburasoba. I can say that I prefer aburasoba because of the oil based noodles. I added some chili oil, vinegar, and some chili flakes to add spice and they were great! Definitely on the saltier side with all the toppings but as a cheat meal, it was amazing! (5/5) **Original Karaage: THE ABSOLUTE BEST KARAAGE I've ever had so far. I haven't been to Japan but I can guarantee you this is as authentic as you can get. The mayo and wasabi mayo are good in their own way. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had lots of flavor by itself. (5/5) I saw some early reviews with people complaining about service but I came on a good day. There was a man in the front of house checking for quality control and checking up on every single guest in house. I believe that man may be the owner/head chef. It's great to see people in high positions making sure every customer has an A+ experience. I will definitely be back in the near future to dine in again or even take out. I 100% recommend Kajiken and I hope this one lasts. read more

I got the Homura Aburasoba!! read more

I discovered this eatery on social media and stopped in for a midafternoon lunch. They recently had their soft opening, and I was greeted by a younger female staff member who seated me. The decor is tastefully decorated and eye appealing. The menu resembled an eatery that I dined at in Ginza Japan recently and the no broth ramen caught my eye. Started off with karaage chicken which was delicious and topped with a ponzu. I placed an order for the Soboro Aburasoba which has soy marinated ground chicken, green onions, raw egg and noodles - which was yummy. For dessert I went with the green tea ice cream which gave me a happy ending. I'm looking forward to returning here to try some additional entrees. read more

A true gem opened in Fullerton! It's in a plaza so there's plenty of parking but the store isnt too big so highly recommend being prepared to wait even on weekday dinner time. I went at 6:30 on a Wednesday night and waited about 30 minutes. Once seated, the staff was super helpful and kind and I appreciated the attention. The menu isn't extensive so I ordered the Homura Aburasoba and my friend ordered the Nikumori Aburasoba. Both were delicious. I preferred the homura because it had more veggies and I appreciated the freshness. I do think ordering an appetizer is the move to share for 2 so definitely will be doing it next time. read more

Kajiken - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

I typically don't love mazemen, BUT THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING!!! I think it's actually amurasoba, but it seemed similar to mazemen to me. I went a week ago and can't stop thinking about it. I ordered the homura aburasoba. The noodles were thick and chewy, and the flavor was very umami but not overwhelming and heavy. They have vinegar and stuff to make it lighter and more acidic, but I didn't even put any in because it was perfect as is. Inside is clean and pretty spacious. I went during early lunchtime on a Sunday and didn't have to wait to be seated. Service was friendly and fast, and I didn't have to wait long for my food. Parking is easy as it's located in a big plaza with lots of spots. I highly recommend this place. It's Michelin recognized for a reason! The only place I can compare this to is MoguMogu, and this is much better. read more

Kajiken - Homura aburasoba - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

Came on a Monday around 6 pm. No wait and plenty of parking in the lot. Good number of tables inside and the space is clean, bright, and decorated with Japanese style lanterns. I'm a big fan of mazemen but had never tried aburasoba. I ordered the Amakuchi with beef and pork. Really flavorful, rich, and saucy. Definitely on the heavier side but very satisfying. Hard to say if I like it more than mazemen; I'd need to try them side by side since both are great. Also got the ponzu karaage. About five large pieces and nicely balanced with daikon and a lighter sauce. Really enjoyed it. Staff was friendly and attentive with water refills and clearing plates. Only downside is no substitutions. I wanted to swap pork for chicken and was told I'd have to remove it and pay separately as an add on. Overall still a solid spot and I'd come back. read more

Ordered the Original Aburasoba, Oroshi Ponzu Karaage, and Takoyaki. The aburasoba was flavorful and satisfying. Felt like a stir-fried ramen. The karaage itself was well-seasoned, though the oroshi ponzu topping made the coating soggy, which took away from the crunch. I'd order it without that next time. The takoyaki was good and hit the spot. Ordering is done through a QR code at the table, which was quick and easy. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, a reliable spot with good food and a smooth ordering experience. Would definitely come back. read more

I can't believe you can get Michelin-recommended aburasoba in LA -- no need to fly to Japan. It's only about a 20-minute drive from Irvine, and honestly it made me so happy The place is Kajiken, known for its Nagoya-style aburasoba (soupless ramen). It's been recommended by the Michelin Guide for three consecutive years, and ever since opening, the wait has been around 40 minutes or more. I went on Super Bowl Sunday when everyone was watching the game, so luckily there was no line! What to Order (Everything We Tried Was Great) Honura Aburasoba This is their signature bowl. Spicy minced pork, seaweed, green onions, and a raw egg yolk all mixed together create a rich, spicy, and fragrant flavor. The thick noodles are imported from Japan -- chewy, bouncy, and seriously addictive. Wagyu Roast Beef Aburasoba The wagyu roast beef is amazing. Beautiful marbling, rich sauce, egg yolk, and crispy fried garlic all come together perfectly. Once mixed, every strand of noodle is coated in flavor. So good you'll want to finish every last bite. Nikumori Aburasoba A combination of minced pork and chashu pork. Very meaty and satisfying -- perfect if you love rich flavors. Not as spicy as the others, and the portion is generous. Wagyu Roast Beef Rice Tender, juicy wagyu over rice with a slightly sweet sauce. The flavor is mild and very comforting -- even kids would enjoy this one. Pan-Fried Gyoza Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Dip it in their special sauce and it's hard to stop at just one. Tamagoyaki Japanese sweet omelet that's soft, slightly sweet, and great for balancing the richness of the noodles. Kids love this too. How to Eat It (Just Like in Japan) 1 Add a few circles of chili oil and vinegar first for extra aroma 2 Mix thoroughly for at least 20 seconds so the sauce, oil, and noodles combine evenly 3 Eat together with the toppings for better texture and flavor 4 Enjoy while it's hot 5 Finish with ice cream if you want something refreshing afterward Hours: 11am-9pm I recommend avoiding peak meal times because the line can get long. Honestly, this is the most authentic Japanese aburasoba I've had in Southern California. The Michelin recommendation is well deserved -- if you love ramen, this place is absolutely worth checking out. read more

First time trying Kajiken! It's a small store, seats about 10 parties but not too busy yet (there was no wait when we went on a Friday night). We got the Homura and Nikumori Aburasobas with side of Mentaiko (cod roe). Compared to other mazemen places we've been to, we thought the sauce was the most flavorful here. You can add vinegar or spicy chili oil to change up the flavor. We thought the food was quite good for the price. They seem to be expanding with many new locations opening up (such as Valley Fair mall in the Bay Area). Was a satisfying meal and would come back. read more

Kajiken - Menu - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

Starting off the year strong with yummy Japanese food that is on the Michelin guide (my first review of the year, so it's a great start). I'm glad it has finally come from the Bay Area to SoCal and that it is close to me! Came on a Saturday around 12pm and the restaurant was empty with no wait at all (but more ppl came close to 1pm) so I can imagine it does get busy later in the day since the place is also on the smaller side with a few tables and booths. My party ordered the oroshi ponzu karaage as the appetizer, and for the mains, nikumori aburasoba (what I got- I also specified no green onion), homura aburasoba, and the original aburasoba. Staff was nice and attentive, the food did take some time to come out but we were able to eat the karaage first while the aburasoba came later. Food was really good and definitely up to par with the Michelin rating. This is the first time I saw karaage being paired with ponzu and grated radish, but it was a very nice addition! I also like that they mentioned in the menu that their karaage is different from the traditional where it is not crispy but is rather tender and juicy. I definitely agree that it is tender, soft, and juicy, and most importantly, not mushy as I was worried because it wasn't crispy that the outside would be mushy. I will say for $10 it is a bit expensive for around 5-6 pieces of karaage, but it's worth the try! As for the nikumori aburasoba, I really enjoyed the overall flavor after mixing everything together. The noodles were the right texture and were chewy and the pork was tender which I especially like the fatty part of it. I love that I can really taste the sesame oil and there was a good spicy kick to it. It was just the right amount of spice for me so I personally wouldn't add additional chili oil unless I get the original as it's spicy and flavorful enough for me, but I did add the sesame seeds! I also tried a bite of the original and it was good as well. This reminds me of mazemen, but better as I do prefer aburasoba now that I have tried both. Though personally I do think they are pretty similar except for different toppings and sauces, but I like how aburasoba is more "simple." Overall, a very enjoyable meal that is definitely memorable. Price is also not too bad, it is reasonable as the portion size is pretty generous and I could make it into two meals if I'm not feeling very hungry. Very nice ambiance and good for both eating with friends and family, so I will definitely be back! read more

New Kajiken location in Fullerton, finally got to try it. Interior's small but has a cozy vibe, not trying to be anything it's not. Staff were really friendly, made the whole thing feel easygoing. Got the Homura Aburasoba and it delivered -- noodles had that good QQ chew, sauce was savory without being heavy. Paired it with the karaage and honestly, 5/5. I've had Kajiken in the Bay Area before and this location holds up, couldn't tell a difference in quality. Highly recommend it, will be back. read more

Tried Kajiken recently and overall had a really good experience. The noodles had a nice chewy texture, and once everything was mixed together, the flavors came through well without being too heavy. The wagyu rice bowl was rich and satisfying, especially when mixed with the egg yolk. The karaage was juicy and well seasoned. The takoyaki was soft inside and came out hot. The gyoza was pretty standard but nicely pan-fried. Portion sizes were reasonable, and the food came out fairly quickly. I liked that you can adjust the flavor with vinegar or chili oil--it makes it easy to customize to your own taste. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful, especially when explaining how to mix and eat the aburasoba. Overall, nothing overly fancy, but solid food and consistent quality. I'd come back again when I'm in the mood for aburasoba. read more

Went on a weekday evening with my friend. This was my first time trying a aburasoba, and I'm a big fan of mazemen so I knew I would enjoy this. It was just the 2 of us in the restaurant but as we left, it was already packed. One thing I would suggest for this place is to add some soft background music. A little weird just to hear conversations going on, especially with tables so close to each other. It's a small space, with some outdoor seating as well. Don't expect to bring a large group and be well accommodated here. The server who I assume is also the owner, was very nice. For appetizers, we got the takoyaki and ponzu chicken karaage. Tokoyaki was bomb, although I would pass on the karaage next time. Wasn't crispy enough and not much umami. We both tried the homura aburasoba and it was very tasty. Definitely a different taste than mazemen but still very delicious. Not as rich, but texture is amazing. Overall, Kajiken was enjoyable. I think I still prefer mazemen over aburasoba but would definitely try this again and go with something different. read more
