Kajiken recently opened its newest location at 1701 Rockville Pike STE A7, its first in the DC Metro area joining restaurants in Baltimore, Chicago, Manhattan, and San Mateo, California. Our very own Mr. MoCo stopped by this past week and has deemed one of their dishes his favorite in Montgomery County this month (video below).
The restaurant offers Abura soba, which can be described as soupless ramen, with flavors coming from a special blend of sauce and oil. Kajiken’s homemade thick noodles and sauces are imported from Japan. “The combination of chili oil and vinegar made it one of the tastiest things I’ve ever eaten,” Tsironis said.
The dish is the Roasted Beef Aburasoba. It consists of “Noodles with Roasted Beef, Raw Egg Yolk, Fried Onion, Scallion, Yogurt and Chaliapin Sauce.” Tsironis says, “Mix for 20 seconds, then enjoy it before it gets cold. I recommend adding extra vinegar and chili oil.”
The dish goes for a modest $18, with two additional pieces of roasted beef for an extra $2 if you choose to add it. You can also choose from an additional 20 toppings for an extra charge.
