I recently visited Shinsengumi Ramen next to Little Tokyo, and their DX Curry is an absolute must-try! This dish is a flavor powerhouse, featuring karaage, fried ebi, and takoyaki. The karaage was perfectly crispy, the fried ebi had a delightful crunch, and the takoyaki was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The curry sauce was just perfect--rich, savory, and packed with a depth of flavor that tied everything together beautifully. Pairing this meal with an ice-cold Asahi beer was the cherry on top. It perfectly complemented the spices and textures of the DX Curry. Whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to experience this fantastic combination at Shinsengumi Ramen. You won't be disappointed!

Food was amazing definitely recommend. Service was fantastic Nice and clean and was not a long way

We got seated right away on a Saturday at 1130 - nice. We both ordered the Hakata ramen. Noodles: firm, broth: light. Add-in: pork won tons. Delicious and satisfying.

Absolutely love the atmosphere. Quick service, unique menu items, and amazing value overall. Don't order too many rice bowls! Go for the ramen or yaki ramen, both quite cool dishes. Spicy tuna bites were also amazing (limited). Overall super cool menu and great vibes! Would definitely come here again, but would definitely order differently than I did this time around. The small tuna bowl is about 5-6 thin slices of tuna atop rice, probably hard to make two small bowls into a meal. Pork rice was a bit drier and blander than I was hoping.

Shin Sen Gumi is a staple in little tokyo. They typically sweep the floor in volume. Their prices are typically more affordable than other ramen shops because they focus on customization than pre-fixed ramen toppings. Shin-Sen Gumi is really good at keep taste uniform among all their stores. The ramen and broth are all made in their central location in Gardena and distributed to all their chain stores across Southern California. The Little Tokyo location has been open since 2011. I have been going to Shin-Sen Gumi for decades! The staff is always friendly and they have lots of promotions throughout the year. They change the menu to accomodate the season or try something new. My current obsession is the Tonkatsu Curry which has been filling the void for me sine Mr. Curry closed down.

We have been coming here for years. We did notice a slight change after Covid. The Ramen bowls seemed smaller, my seaweed salad had way more lettuce than seaweed , and the broth a bit more water down than before. My child wanted Ramen so we took off to little Tokyo. There was no wait on a weekday even though it was Valentine's Day so that was nice. I still really enjoy this place, especially since I don't typically eat Ramen, I'm not sure if the boys will want to go back though.

This ramen shop in Little Tokyo was delicious! I have a short and simple review for this place but there's not much more to say. The vibes were cute and homey which I liked. I parked in a nearby parking lot (and I'm not sure if I was supposed to park there but there were no signs saying otherwise!). I waited about 5 minutes on a Tuesday around 7:00pm, which was nice. I got seated at the bar for my party of two, and immediately a server came and asked how I was and if I wanted anything to drink. The server was very kind and efficient. Great service. Both of us just ordered a simple hakata ramen, and the broth was flavorful. I got normal for the noodles, soup oil and soup base, and that felt perfect for me, but it's cool that we get to customize it how we like it. The pork chasu was good. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. I loved it. It was in walking distance of some shops, so next time I hope to go during the day and do some browsing afterwards. Hooray!
