Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen

One is the loneliest number -- except if you crave ramen without a wait. I was able to walk right in and order. My perfect bowl includes extra chashu , green chili butter bomb, and corn . Delicious.

Loved the vibe, the stuff was very attentive and efficient. Great ramen with tons of toppings that come on the side. Tried fried pig ????, and chicken cartridges! Love that you can order a half portion.

This place is real busy in the late afternoon and early night. The smell of the food is so intoxicating. Despite the long wait , the Hakata Ramen is soooo on point. DEFINITELY WORTH GOING!!!

It's always a very long wait so we put our names down, had a beer at Angel City Brewery and came back just in time. You can order hakata ramen with toppings of your choice.

My absolute favorite ramen ! You can choose the firmness of the noodle and choose your toppings--flavored eggs , kimchi , spinach , garlic--to be added as you like. Nom nom!

Shin-Sen-Gumi is the best Japanese place to eat in the area. It’s ramen is fresh and authentic with so much flavour you could almost cry. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

The Hakata-style is one of the most recognizable types of ramen . Completely customizable this loud , raucous dining room will surely remind one of Japan. Read more

The ramen is highly customizable - you need to get the add ons to make it awesome. Also, a secret is to ask for your noodles to be "barikata" (extra hard, don't mark anything on the noodle firmness)

So cheap ! You can customize your ramen by choosing the level of saltiness, softness, etc. The broth was a little salty. You can choose all kinds of sides to put in your ramen . I liked the takoyaki .

Get your ramen with hard noodles for a nice al dente texture. Don't forget to order the spicy miso paste.

I very much appreciate and the service was fast and excellent. I ordered pork ramen , fried onion , and the flavored egg and it was good.

The Ramen is amazing and so is the Takoyaki

Great place to come for any occasion. Get the spicy miso ! Also, they don't split checks so bring cash if you're coming with a group.

I was excited to try this place, but the experience I got was so and so. Service was great, but the ramen fell flat. The broth is pretty oily and I felt a bit sick after. Still a good place though.

Yaki ramen is best! Also unlimited calpico

The toppings menu is pretty mind boggling - hit up the extra Chashu (pork ), chilli butter bomb and a poached egg . Job done. ????????

Gyoza are these cute little ones. No wonder they order a 12 piece portion. Flavored egg is hard boiled...should have gotten the poached one. Broth is killer...great flavor & the perfect consistency.

The staff is friendly , and welcomes everyone with a greeting! I think it's a greeting, but they could be saying, "Hey look at this loser! He's gonna need help reading the menu."

Loved the Pork cutlet and the fried crispy pork toppings. Must have the spicy miso . Kimchi was a bit salty.

Very easy to customize your order. Add a bunch of extras to your ramen !

If you like a excitable and boisterous atmosphere and don't mind not hearing yourself think with workers shouting Japanese every moment then this place is for you. Btw, their ramen is very good...

Only thing worth ordering in my view is their standard ramen . Their service is good, and has an authentic vibe. Decent price if you forgo toppings

It's well worth the journey to Little Tokyo to eat here. After your delicious meal, take a stroll through the Japanese village –Farris

My favorite ramen in LA . Customizable in terms of salt, onion , etc. always delicious

Be sure to check out all the extra sides; garlic chips chili oil spicy miso extra meats yummy

Hakata ramen . Enough said. I loveeeee this place. One of my go-to places when I visit LA.

Best Ramen in LA . There is a crowd that begins to form after 9pm, since other ramen places close.

All perfect and delicious. Nice trendy crowd. Great service. Amazing reasonable prices.

Staff is amazing. They help you select the best dish if you don't have a clue! Great place. And the food is great.

Go with thick broth and extra hard noodles !

An delicious and trendy ramen dinner experience. I got the large. And I finished it!

Clean and cutesy environment! Friendly service too. But I personally think Daikokuya ramen has deeper taste to it.

The ramen bowl I had was amazing and the kimichi! They also have ginger ale !

...try the soft ramen here...best in downtown LA...:)

Make sure to order the garlic oil . It makes the ramen taste amazing.

Very big portions and great taste!

Customer service is awesome! I had an unusual request and they handled it with empathy and grace!

Very authentic ramen with delicious broth. Noodles here are some of the best in LA.

Best ramen in LA ! New & cleaner than Daikokoya (my 1st ramen love)

The strong broth is decent. Noodle comes off with a weak flavor similiar to an italian-angel hair spaghetti . Gyoza not too terribly impressive either. Liked the spicy miso too.

Small Curry with a Pork Chop ! Go across the street and get a milk tea at Twinkle.

Love the food and the service. The crispy onion is a must! I'm definitely coming back. :)

Tasty ramen and great concept

Hakata ramen is BOMB! Best in LA!

They have NEW toppings! The waiters aare louder than usual but I LOVE their fried rice and of course their ramen ***** :)

Stop reading tips about this place. Yes. Go get a ramen now. You're welcome :)

Love this place, love the noodles , can't wait to go back

Good ramen , great fast service , but soup could be hotter

They have unlimited original calpico refills. I am a happy guy.

Hakata ramen is rich and porky. The 1/2 size is enough for a moderate appetite at lunch .
