The best ramen in the South Bay, and I'm Japanese.

by Tsuno

This is my favorite ramen house in Los Angeles. Order the Hakata Ramen with "hard" noodle. So much better than "regular." The waiters like to yell a lot.

  • Pros: Totally customizable ramen.
  • Cons: Wait.

Great Food, Great Service

by keesa

This ramen place has been my friends' favorite place on EARTH! I think they would go there at least once a week. I haven't been able to join them for a long time because my work hour is super long and they close before I get home. But this place is wonderful! My friends LOVE their ramen noodles. I do love it too, the soup is fantastic, but I secretly wish they have a bit thicker noodle choice. So, I usually go for fried rice and ask for extra Takana pickles on the side. I hadn't had Takana pickles until I had it here last year since I moved from Japan 15 years ago. And they prep it so good! Just like my father (and he's from Kyushu) used to cook. Although I don't really care for their skinny noodles, I don't mind when they make it into Yaki Ramen. Now, that's yummy-licious! Also we like their spinach with sesame sauce, cream croquettes, and many other dishes. I've tried their seaweed salad for the first time and it was awesome! You can taste a bit of spiciness but man, it's dee-licious! It's always crowded and we have to wait most of the time but we never mind it because the food is so worth it and the servers are always friendly and super polite. We always have a great time! 5 stars!!!

  • Pros: Great food and service, authentic Japanese taste
  • Cons: always crowded, would love to have a thicker noodle option, wish they open late for hard workers like me!

Not like it used to be...

by taylortaylor

We used to go to this place for many times. We liked it there then. But the owner opened more restaurants so good chefs and waiters were spreaded. Even the right hand man left so since then soup base ha lost its flavor and taste as well as quality of customer services. We went back to here this week and found they got worser. Sorry to say but we never go back....

  • Pros: Thumbs down
  • Cons: expect to wait and wait and wait.......

Best Ramen in So Cal

by akira101

Shin Sen Gumi's noodles are simply the best!! I'd recommend ordering the "set" meals. Comes w/ noodles, side dish, ... something else, and a drink. But anyways, i've been going here the last few years and the food is simply delicious. You may have to wait a while since it's a very popular local hangout.

  • Pros: delicous food, excellent service
  • Cons: may have to wait a while

Great noodle soup and ambiance

by eat2drink

Great ramen soup and gyoza. What made the evening special was the way you order the soup; you start by choosing the ingredients (wonton, seaweed, pork...), the strength of the broth, the amount of oil you want and how the noodles are prepared (soft, medium or firm). In our group of four everyone raved about their order. The young man that helped us was friendly and attentive. They also offer a variety of other japanese food, along with sake and beer. We order the Otokoyama(?) sake and it was great. I highly recommend it if you are in the neighborhood.

  • Pros: Great ramen noodle soup
  • Cons: Small location
