Aburasoba is a noodle dish similar to ramen, but instead of broth, the flavors come from our special blend of oils and sauces. Here at Kajiken, we focus on our fresh homemade noodles made specifically for Aburasoba, mixed with our secret sauces and specially selected toppings.

Reviews
The vibe is bright, casual, and modern, with friendly, efficient service even during peak hours.
The real standout is the aburasoba: chewy noodles coated in deeply savory sauces with perfectly balanced toppings. Favorites like the Homura and Tantan deliver layered umami, and customizable add-ons — from egg to chili oil — make every bowl your own.
Crystal was an incredible server and made my first visit truly unforgettable.
This restaurant has never failed me, and I don’t think they ever will. The staff is always kind, friendly, and helpful. The food is very reasonably priced, especially because it tastes so scrumptious and high quality.
I’ve had the “Soboro Aburasoba” and most recently I’ve had the “Mushroom Aburasoba” and I added a poached egg and bok choy 🙂
I’ve always been pleased by this restaurant, and I finally decided to leave a review!

“It was good. It was great. It was amazing.”
-My friend, who had the “Roast Beef Aburasoba”
Now I know why this is a Michelin recommended restaurant. Will definitely be coming back soon.
Once my boyfriend and I decided on our order, it was again unclear if she’s going to come back or if we need to walk up and order considering we waited for some time to place our order. So I walk up to the register and ask if I should place my order with her up there which we end up doing.
I order the Oroshi Ponzu Karaage & Nikumori Aburasoba (with a poached egg, which was recommended by the cashier).
The Oroshi Ponzu Karaage was good, but not exciting. The chicken was good, but the dish definitely could have used more flavor or crunch (to be fair though, the menu does say this karaage is not crunchy so I was prepared at least).
The Nikumori Aburasoba (aka Top 2) was good, but not super exciting either. The pork slices were tough, I probably would have enjoyed the dish if it was tender. By this point, I (respectfully) concluded that this is as a Japanese chow mein.
I personally feel like the ingredients could have been fresher, it was as if the meal lacked texture.
With all that said, the experience & ambiance felt like a fast food restaurant by the way it operates – to the point where it feels like a chain restaurant. I’d say it’s a good place to go to if you’re looking to fix that noodle craving.
I acknowledge that I came here right after trying a couple pastries from the local Japanese bakery so maybe that may have impacted my appetite.
I’m not sure I’d return to try more but if you’re looking to try this place out, I would say these bowls can be split as I shared this meal with my boyfriend and we are still leaving with left overs.
If I could give one feedback to the restaurant around operations, it would be to put a yelp waitlist tablet outside or a sign up sheet as it can get confusing – especially when people are waiting out front to be seated outside which can be perceived as a line.
Sometimes the line/wait can be long so best to go before 6pm unless you don’t mind waiting or eating at the outside tables.
