If you’re a fan of authentic Japanese comfort food, Kajiken in Falls Church is a spot you absolutely shouldn’t miss. We started the evening with Gyoza and Takoyaki, and they were the perfect way to begin the meal. The gyoza were nicely crisped on the outside with juicy, flavorful filling, while the takoyaki were warm, soft, and savory — a classic street-food favorite done right. For my main dish, I ordered the Teriyaki Tori, and it truly stood out. The chicken had a wonderful aroma and a beautifully grilled texture with a slightly crispy bite on the outside while remaining juicy inside. You can really tell it was grilled with care and precision. The flavor was incredibly satisfying and unique — honestly, I’ve had chicken dishes in many places, but it’s hard to find one quite like this. Paired with the noodles, the combination was rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced.(And if you’re not a noodles fan, you can easily ask to swap the noodles for rice.) My husband ordered the Sukiyaki, which was warm, savory, and deeply comforting — the kind of dish that makes a dinner feel complete. To end the evening, we treated ourselves to dessert: Matcha Crepe Cake with Matcha Ice Cream, and Taiyaki with Vanilla Ice Cream. As someone who truly loves matcha, I have to say the matcha flavor here is the real deal — smooth, fragrant, and beautifully balanced without being overly sweet. The crepe cake layers were delicate and light, and paired with the matcha ice cream it was absolutely delightful. The taiyaki with vanilla ice cream was also a perfect sweet finish. From the appetizers to dessert, everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. A wonderful dining experience overall — we’ll definitely be coming back again. 📍 Kajiken 7505 Leesburg Pike D, Falls Church, VA 22043
Absolutely speechless. One of the best Japanese food dining experiences I’ve had outside of Japan itself (and I’ve been to Japan a lot!!!) Highly recommend the abura soba, tonkatsu ramen, karaage, agedashi tofu, taiyaki, and matcha crepe. But I’m sure everything is delicious. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem of a spot!!!
I visited this place for work day lunch, and the place filled up quickly. I was glad that I didn’t have to wait. The server asked us multiple times how we are doing, and came by to fill up waters. It was the right balance of not bothering too much but caring enough for our needs. We started with two appetizers. Karaage and Takoyaki. Karaage was definitely one of the top level in NoVA. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Takoyaki was ok but I wouldn’t consider it as top-notch. It was my first time visiting the restaurant so I tried the menu that has the signature symbol on it. Niku Miso was a dry noodle with pork on oily/miso based sauce. It was a unique taste that I’ve never experienced before but very much enjoyable. It tastes similar to Chinese dan dan noodle but less oily and greasy. I loved it. I would try this place again with my family and love to see if my young kids would love it. Glad to find another good restaurant in the area.
