Shin-sen-gumi Shabu-shabu - Gardena

The experience was excellent. It felt like being in a welcoming home.

The restaurant is quite small, and unfortunately, we were seated next to a table of four loud customers. This made the experience less enjoyable for us.

First of all, the service at this restaurant was incredibly friendly and welcoming! I loved how they greeted their customers. The servers were attentive and prompt in bringing us our food. We ordered the eel over rice and the hakata ramen (with a rich base and generous oil), and both dishes were delicious. We also added an egg and pork belly to the ramen—how could we resist?! The misubi was also delightful. Overall, it’s a great place, and I would definitely come back.

Had such a delicious bowl of Hakata Ramen! If you like hot spice, add a side of Diablo (made with Carolina Reaper), it is fire!! They have delicious bite-sized Gyoza, too!

After extensive research, I chose Shin-Sen-Gumi, and it absolutely lived up to my high expectations. The Ramen was not only delicious but packed with flavor and offered a plethora of customizable toppings to match any preference. The pork slices and the additional pork dumplings I tried were outstanding. We also sampled two types of flavor balls from their menu, both of which were fantastic and enhanced the Ramen experience even further. One unique feature of the restaurant is the bells at each table, allowing you to summon the staff with ease—a first for me! The service was prompt and efficient, without any unnecessary fuss. I recommend joining the restaurant's waitlist via Yelp before you arrive to smooth the process. Overall, Shin-Sen-Gumi is definitely the place to go for an unforgettable Ramen experience.
