I particularly like the sweet potato croquettes, which are incredibly crispy on the outside, and amazingly soft and yummy on the inside. One of my favorite go-to lunch places!"
"A family favorite. We order from them frequently. The bento sets with onigilly are great, tasty, balanced meals that the kids love (and me too!). Chicken karaage, edamame and egg always cooked perfectly, and the ingredients are very fresh. Generous portions. "

"The Roast Beef Aburasoba is SO good. The oils and spices in the noodles at Kajisen make them chopstick-lickingly delicious. The beef is cooked to a beautifully tender texture, and the onions, yogurt, and other seasonings make it flavorful to the max. I'm obsessed."
"Kajiken used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but they've been reeeeally inconsistent as of late. Today's NIKUMORI ABURASOBA was overly spicy and buried in green onions. I've learned to only order from them on Thursdays, and when I break that rule, I am always disappointed. The egg shortage means everyone now gets half an ajitama instead of a full raw egg. :("

"Some assembly is required but it's totally worth it. I mixed the two containers of broth (spicy and regular) miso and tonkotsu and reheated (arrives warm but must heat it to cook the veg and meat - to be hot pot at home). Added one container of veggies and noodles (im not sure the difference between California and regular veggies - seemed the same to me). Once veggies were cooked I added the meat which I ordered raw. I chopped up the meat before adding it. I also added about half the extra garlic and chili paste I received, and finally the green onions last. I put a little rice at the bottom of my serving bowl and used chopsticks (provided upon request) and my own japanese spoons. Then put a portion of the dipping sauce in side containers for dipping the meat and veg. I might chop the veggies a bit more next time to make it easier to eat. I will 10/10 do this again, but im not sure how one would assemble this outside of home. I have a full container of veggies, most of the rice, and the dipping sauce left and will be turning this into a stir fry as leftovers. Plus the original 2 portions ordered made 3 potions of the soup. Absolutely great quality and fantastic for me since I was a bit congested. "
"I have been going to this shabu place for years. It's one of our favorite shabu places. Try their beef, either Angus or Kobe, both really high quality! I'm so glad that they are on DoorDash so I can continue enjoying it even with COVID!"

"Taishoken is reason enough to move to San Mateo! Truly excellent in every respect: the crafting of the noodles, the rich complex broth, a magically prepared egg. Each ingredient is carefully prepared for a balanced whole that exceeds the sum of its parts. Their dedication to preparing only the finest ramen, hayakko, gyoza is something only the very best aspire to. The team at Taishoken achieves it one dish at a time. Consistently extraordinary. "
"Ajitama Spicy Ramen taste was really good! Edamam was inbetween warm and cold. Not sure if that was due to doordash. I wish the ramen had a bit more to it. I added fried tofu which was probably the most disappointing. It was two shreds of tofu fried. Personally not 2$ worth. There was only their mushrooms and the boiled egg left. I wish they added more textures to this bowl to round it out. All together, not bad for being sick in bed and needing soup"
