Kajiken is open in Seattle since . It's the South Lake Union shop of the Japanese aburasoba chain Kajiken, serving soupless ramen built on a blend of sauce and oil with customizable toppings, alongside curry and karaage, a short walk from the Amazon campus. Brand-new spots often run soft-open hours and a short menu at first, so it's worth a quick check before you cross town.
