    We got the karaage and the fried octopus to share and I got the homura (added in corn), and everything was delicious! The fried chicken and octopus were fried perfectly. I really enjoyed the soba although it is pretty heavy, I recommend adding in some vinegar to cut through the heaviness. Will be back to try others on the menu!

    Curry Chicken

    A solid 4.5 stars The ambiance was inviting, cute place but a little chilly. The service was fast & efficient. The food was really good! Fresh, flavorful and filling! My husband enjoyed it so much he almost ordered some to take home. Can't beat the price either... We'll be back!

    TEBASAKI
 Nagoya Style Fried Chicken Wings

    I was in the area for work and looking for dinner. This restaurant is near my hotel, so on my first night I decided to come by. I walked in, but they were pretty busy (and I was starving). I knew that the next night I would be able to arrive earlier, so I opted to come back. Having some work to do, I was going to get takeout. On my ride back to the hotel, I tried to order through the app, but unfortunately, they don't take credit cards (only Apple Pay); having a corporate card, this wasn't an option. When I arrived, I walked in and saw a kiosk to order to go. I was greeted immediately and let them know that I was going to order something; they offered assistance if needed. I ordered the Tebasaki: Nagoya Style Fried Chicken Wings and the Tonkotsu Shoyu: Thin Noodles in Soy Sauce Pork Broth, topped with Pork Belly Chashu, Soft Boiled Egg, Menma, Nori, and Scallion. I waited for the food to come out, which took about 20 minutes total. The restaurant was clean and had a comfortable feel to it. The food coming out looked great, and the service seemed to be very good (from what I could see). Once I had my food, I took the 3-minute drive back to my hotel and unpacked it. Everything looked great and was still hot (I wouldn't hold that against them if it wasn't, as it was about 15 degrees outside). The wings first, I took a bite and the crispy exterior was great and had a great flavor. The glaze was good, but it was lacking on much of the wing itself. I definitely would've liked a more even coating. But they were good nonetheless. While I ate my wings, I placed my noodles and other ingredients in the tonkotsu (they come separately when ordered through takeout, which is really smart). I took a bite, and it was as good as I would've hoped for. A silky flavor from the tonkotsu, with a slightly salty flavor from the shoyu. The pork was great, but the standout for me was the soft-boiled egg that was marinated in soy. The noodles had the perfect chew on them. Very good ramen, not the best I've ever had, but better than most. I'll be coming back here and will try more items. Maybe next time I'll dine in, but honestly, when the takeout is so good, and I can get work done in my hotel while I eat...I may just do takeout again.

    Takoyaki
    Abigail R.

    We love Kajiken. I'm obsessed with their traditional ramens, they're so rich and delicious. Their spicy miso is nice and spicy, but I like getting their chili paste and kicking it up a notch. My fiancé loves their broth less noodles. They're creamy and unctuous. And their takoyaki is also amazing. You can't go wrong coming here! The food comes out quickly, it's super hot at fresh. The service is great. The vibes are modern and cool. It's just a great place to stop by!

    beef and rice
    Scott M.

    Tried Kajiken in Odenton for the first time and really liked it! The place has a chill vibe -- clean, cozy, and easygoing. The staff were friendly and quick, which made the whole experience even better. I got the beef over rice and spicy tonsoce ramen, and both were awesome. The beef was super tender and flavorful, and the rice had a great texture -- not too soggy or dry. The scipy ramen was the star though. It had a nice kick of spice, and the noodles were spot-on -- chewy and satisfying. You can tell everything's made fresh. Only tiny downside: I kinda wish the ramen had a little more broth or sauce, but honestly, that's just personal preference. Everything else hit the spot. Definitely coming back -- perfect spot for a cozy dinner or a quick noodle fix!

    Kell M.

    This spot absolutely worth a visit! I've been twice the first time I got the pork ramen and it was very good. Second time though I opted for the sukiyaki and this was amazing! The fatty beef, the chili oil, all of the flavors were so good. The service is also always so friendly. Highly recommend! I'll absolutely be back.

    The original with a side of slow cooked pork
    Alyssa T.

    Food: 5/5 abura soba is so delicious! The chewier texture of the noodles is exactly how I like them, and the sauce is very savory. There are a few toppings at the table to add to your bowl if you need. Gyoza was yummy as well. I will note that the edamame was pretty mediocre and somewhat soggy compared to what I prefer. Service: 5/5 our server was quick and very kind. No issues. Ambiance: soft music playing in the background. Dimmer lighting than the average restaurant. 2 single stall restrooms that were clean.

    Beef ramen with sauce
    Jannet C.

    recently had lunch at this new ramen spot and really enjoyed it. They offer some unique brothless ramen options, which I was excited to try. I ordered the beef ramen served with sauce at the bottom and a raw egg on top. The bowl was beautifully presented, and once I mixed everything together, the hot noodles gently cooked the rare beef while the egg yolk added a rich, silky texture to the sauce. I was a little wary about the raw egg at first, but the staff let me know that their eggs are pasteurized, and I had no issues--just a delicious meal. The restaurant is new, clean, and the service is friendly and helpful. They also offer traditional broth-based ramen and a variety of appetizers that I'm looking forward to trying on my next visit.

    Really nice decor and ambiance! Clean japandi vibes. Well lit (except the bench areas under the woven ceiling section). Our waitress was nice and accomodating, explained to my fam what the items and portion sizes were. Food was pretty good for a Hanover/MD burb spot. Plenty of options. I had their Tori Shoyu. Next time if we come back I'll try their Soba. Recommended! I'd come back just for their nice ambiance.

    roast beef (top), tonkotsu (left) and sukiyaki (right)

    Need to give this place a try! The sukiyaki is my favorite - the combo of sautéed onions and sliced beef is so good. I love the tonkotsu for the flavorful broth but the chashu pork is not my favorite - feels like they don't cook it well enough or it's too fatty. The age dashi tofu is okay but the gyoza is good!

    Tony W.

    I experienced this place for the first time today, and it was nothing short of DELICIOUS! I ordered the sukiyaki with a poached egg, and a side of ichim. The egg and ichimi gave the noodles such a great flavor. The service, atmosphere and presentation of the restaurant was also great! I will be eating here again!

    Gyoza
    Diana K.

    Wow, wow, wow! Absolutely loved my experience at kajiken. Stopped in for lunch around 1pm on a Friday. There was plenty of seating available at the time. We got seated and were immediately approached by our waiter. We ordered the gyoza and the Spicy tonkotsu ramen. They offered Black Garlic oil for $1.00 extra, but unfortunately they've were out. The waiter explained they've been out for a few months. Despite not having the garlic oil the ramen was still DELICIOUS! Broth, noodles, pork belly, minced pork...all came together for the perfect bowl of ramen. I have found my go-to ramen spot!!

    Chicken curry don over rice
    Maria M.

    On 31 January 2026, I popped into the new Asian restaurant "Kajiken". I love the warm inviting decor and the fact that they greet the customers when they enter the restaurant and wish the customers salutations when they leave the restaurant. I enjoyed the gyoza appetizer (six dumplings for $8) and the chicken curry don over rice ($8)--delicious!!!

    Bring your appetite for an expensive feast…read more Gyu San is an all-you-can-eat Japanese joint with a focus on bbq. Expect to pay a lot but in return, gain access to unlimited top tier meats from the land and sea. Gyu San offers three levels of dining. The entire table must have the same level, so talk to your other diners before ordering what level you'd like to go for: Basic gives you their lowest quality cuts of meat and a handful of seafood options and side dishes. This is great for people who want to get their money's worth, especially when pairing their meal with Gyu San's extensive alcoholic cocktail menu. Their middle level offers a larger variety of beef, pork, and seafood, and side dishes. The middle level also offers ramen. The ramen is good, but extremely filling, so I advise avoiding it. This level also includes a one order-per customer wagyu sampler. This is a MUST include to get your money's worth and it will be the highlight of your meal. One of the sides you can unlock at this level is wagyu burgers. While these burgers are great, with a spicy sauce that is fantastic, they sit in your stomach and make it harder to eat more of the unlimited BBQ. If you must try it, order one and split it among your table. The final and most expensive level opens up an all wagyu menu, taking the one-time sampler from the second level and giving you as much as you can handle. In addition, you'll get one order of five unique appetizers, each carefully crafted around high end seafood and wagyu. Each person at the table can also pay an extra $5 for all you can eat sushi, and their sushi is good. If you're ordering from the low tier meats, then adding sushi is worth it for adding variety and good values. For more money saving, you can become a member by asking your server or host, though its only worth it if you plan on coming to Gyu San more often. Gyu San is a high cost, high caloric, and highly flavorful meal experience, best left as an ultimate treat-your-self with friends and family.

    This is similar to Korean BBQ but features Japanese Wagu beef…read more The place is new, clean, and everyone is friendly.their table top grills are nice as the exhaust port is in the grill as opposed to something hanging from the ceiling so you can see the person you are dining with. Most of the menu is all you can with the prime cuts a 1 box per person selection I really enjoyed the visit and plan to go back. The cost are in 3 different tiers. I really didn't ask the difference. But went with the top end that was $100 per person.

    My go-to sushi place in columbia!…read more Food: 5/5 I cannot rave more about the freshness of the sushi here. I am a lover of tuna and regardless of the roll I order, specialty or regular tuna, they are all delicious. Even the spicy tuna rolls, which can just taste mushy and like filler at other places, is pleasantly filled with tuna. Highly recommend the samurai roll (bottom roll in my photo). Service: 5/5 always quick and kind service, and the owners visit the tables to make sure everything is going well. Ambiance: quiet restaurant with the ability to seat parties of 2 to 8 people.

My family and I came in for dinner to celebrate a birthday. Upon arrival, I was shocked to see how packed it was, but that was telling of how good their food is. There were a lot of birthdays being celebrated that evening, and it was a Wednesday. They had a private room available, but there is a food minimum and you have to take your shoes off (floor table set up). Though we were offered the option, we decided to just sit in the main area since we were coming with a few older family members and didn't want them to struggle to put shoes back on later and they prefer sitting in chairs. They have sushi, teriyaki, platters and combination dishes. We all had something different, ordering from the combination options, teriyaki and some sushi on the side. Since we all ordered a special, it came with miso soup and salad. The food was brought out in a staggered manner - three out of the five of us got our food before the others, and they almost finished half of their dish before ours even came out. I had the beef teriyaki and I was shocked to see that it was a large piece of beef, and we were given knives to cut it up. I am used to the meats being already cut up, so this was different. The food was still good though! I will say that I wish there were more broccoli, than bean sprouts accompanying the meat - the dish was still delicious though! The chunk of meat was so large that I actually had leftovers to bring home as a second meal. The sushi was impressive. Not only was the selection so large and I wanted to order every single one of the special rolls (but I didn't because my eyes tend to be bigger than my stomach), they use all fresh ingredients. The shumai was unimpressive, but because everything else was good, I didn't really mind it. I feel like my rice bowl was not full, as most restaurants pack the rice into the bowl; whereas I felt like there were air pockets in mine so there was a little less. To my surprise, they had a decent dessert menu: several ice cream options, variety of mochi and a few cake selections. Because they knew we were celebrating a birthday, they surprised us with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with different cookies to share! It came out with a sparkler, and the employees singing along to a soundtrack played on the speakers. This really made my sister feel so special, and as I said before, it seemed like most of the larger parties there were also celebrating a birthday that evening. Delicious food, friendly service, easy parking and fun atmosphere!
