Such a cute little restaurant! It's modern and Japanese. Service was excellent. Food came out quickly. Everything was delicious, and the portions were large enough for us to have leftovers. The sweet potato dessert was unexpected and unique, but we enjoyed it. Prices were reasonable. Can't wait to go back!

Delicious wings! The crunch was so good

Overall: clean, cute, delicious, and organized with great service, single stall inclusive restrooms, and high chairs Wow, from start to finish our experience was great. The service was attentive and quick. It was clean with nice decor. Our food came out at reasonable times for a reasonable cost. Literally everything we had was delicious. These might have been the best wings I've ever had in my life. The sauces were good and my kids crushed their food.

The interior is beautiful. I was really looking forward to try this place as the food looked so good in the photos. Unfortunately, the food was the worse part. We both ordered chicken dishes and could not eat a single strip of it because the chicken was all rubber. The dishes were very bland and lacked the savory flavor I was expecting. The only dish we finished was the dessert, which was excellent. If I was in the area I might try again, maybe try a a dish, but I'll give it some time.

summary: Kajiken is a relatively new spot located in a shopping strip across from Arundel Mills and it impresses on all counts. From the moment we walked in, the service staff stuck out with the level of attention and care they presented us with. They were very kind and accommodating throughout our visit. The decor was beautiful with booth and table style seating. The menu itself was organized very straightforward with appetizers and the different types of noodle offerings in an easy-to-read way. Most importantly, the food was great. Everything was really well balanced with a great depth of flavor. The noodles had a good bite/chew to them. My only nitpick was that the chashu was a bit tougher than I typically like, but it wasn't that big of a deal. It was my first time trying an arubasoba style noodle dish and I tried one of their local flavors in the old bay eki. It was very bright/fresh and had great pops of cajun flavor from the Old Bay. Very well done. The chicken karaage seemed like a great deal for $8 and it was also done very well. Very juicy and tender pieces of chicken with a great fry to them. A very good experience through and through and would love to visit again soon.

3.28.26 I was near Arundel Mills Mall and looking for an Asian restaurant for dinner when this spot came up on Yelp. Given its strong overall rating, I decided to give it a try. I reviewed the menu in advance and already had my mind set on the Sukiyaki Don -- a rice bowl with marinated beef, onions, and scallions. When I arrived, I initially planned to place my order at the kiosk for carryout. However, a staff member promptly acknowledged me, so I opted to order directly with her instead. My food was ready in record time--less than five minutes later, I was on my way. At first glance, the container seemed quite small, but once I plated the contents, the portion felt more substantial than expected. The beef was flavorful, tender, and nicely fatty--just how I prefer it. That said, the ratio of meat to rice was a bit unbalanced, with significantly more rice than beef. As a result, I found myself wishing for more sauce to better complement the rice and ended up adding soy sauce. Overall, the service was quick and friendly, and the entree was enjoyable. A slightly more generous portion of beef and/or sauce would have elevated the dish further.

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.

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!

Chicken Curry Soba
Veronica L.

I have been here 2 times and both times were just ok. The chicken curry lacks flavor. It's not bad, but it definitely needs additional toppings. Toppings are free in the restaurant but they charge extra for them in delivery. The inside of the restaurant is designed like a traditional ramen shop. It's not bad but don't expect to be wowed

Curry Chicken
Jacquetta P.

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!

Fried octopus balls
Anna F.

Finally able to try Kajiken with friends. The space is minimalist and more tables in the back. It didn't feel like a chain to me. Our server was Caitlyn and she was wonderful. We ordered appetizers for the table. We ordered the fried oysters, octopus balls and chicken. I really enjoyed the oysters and chicken. For our entress, we all ordered the roast beef brothless noodles. I was skeptical at first but I have to say it was delicious. The noodles were soft and fresh. The sparkling plum is delicious, not too sweet of a drink. They were kind enough to let us bring dessert since we were celebrating birthdays. I will definitely come back and try other things on the menu. The price point is the same as other ramen restaurants.

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.

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!

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.

Tonkutsu Ramen, the broth is rich and creamy perfection, a non spicy one. Black Tonkutsu Ramen, this is the star item where you can taste the garlic kick in the broth. Love it! Spicy Miso Ramen, is the most favorite menu here and for us too! The spicy level is at perfection level that's not too strong. All ramen are served with generously served with chasu and veggies, the eggs are perfectly cooked. This ramen place is very recommended if you're looking for something that taste delicious consistently. What amazes us was the noodle maker space is setup facing dining area where we can enjoy the noodle making process while enjoying the food.

Big girls weekend in MD to celebrate our birthday girl that moved states away. Birthday girl…read morebrought us to Ramen Ya because it is the best ramen she's had (in MD). After crying about seeing her for the first time in a year (quite frankly, I have no idea how I made it this long not seeing her), we made the trek to get noodle soup. We had a party of 6 (beautiful, might I add) girls, so we did have to wait about 15 minutes for a table, which was not bad. Not much going on ambiance wise, but you're there for a bowl of ramen, so it doesn't matter. So food--I got the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. Pretty good. Not too spicy, but spicy enough to give you a hit. I'm a sucker for corn, so I loved it. The pork chashu was great--it wasn't too fatty. The broth was pretty rich and yum. We (my friend) also got the shumai. It was your average frozen shumai--I'm not saying they were from frozen, just similarities! They were a bit small. The texture was definitely softer. I did down the soy sauce/dipping sauce like a shot--I'm easily convinced, what can I say. Anyways, I would come back around to Ramen Ya when I go to visit my sweet girl in MD. I think this was a great place to get a nice bowl of ramen. (visited on 09/20/26)
