Great spot for Japanese foods! This is a local chain restaurant famous originally for its yakitori (or Grilled Skewers) but also specializes in ramen (Egg Noodles). The atmosphere is welcoming and casual. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Modifications to orders can be accommodated upon request. Food is all made to order, fresh, and hot!

1st time here & had an amazing experience! Love the energy & vibe. Great place to hangout w/ friends over the weekend, even though parking was really hard to find. Feels like I’m actually in Japan. They even have a back patio that’s cute, vegetarian options, play Japanese anime & music. Everything on the menu was affordable & reasonable. Tried their Vegetarian Ramen & Vegan Soboro Rice Bowl. So good!

Visited this place for lunch during Father’s Day and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Food was good and well priced, service was fast and good, and the place is very well decorated. We ordered the Satsuma Ramen, Negitama Beef Bowl, and various skewers.

This review is based off an “Uber Eats” delivery order and I’m pretty sure in the restaurant it’s a better dining experience. For delivery this was excellent and delicious.

Amazing place for dinner and lunch. They serve a lot of great ramen dishes, but the key at this place is the yakitori that they serve for dinner. They also serve curry and udon meals, but me and a friend came for the delicious yakitori skewers. They are amazing and delicious as I think the simple chicken thigh skewer with green onion is a great place to start for skewers. It comes in both sauce and a simply dry salt seasoning variety. My personal favorite is beef tongue.

Pretty good Japanese food(would say it’s probably my goto place in Alhambra) they have a varied yakitori selection, and would also recommend their curry and Ramen dishes. They have a limited amount of outdoor seating space (haven’t been since indoor dining opened)

Shin-Sen-Gumi is the best Hakata ramen in the 626 and them opening a new branch in Alhambra is a dream come true. This location is much more spacious than the one in Rosemead. They have Japanese themed music and tv to watch animated movies. They offer skewers at this location and all taste marvelous – Smokey Japanese flavor was the best. The gentlemen messed up one of our skewers and cooked a new batch while giving the wrong order for free. Love the atmosphere and customer service here. It’s definitely the new spot for us to eat.

Food was a lot better than few years ago (Alhambra location). Yakitori was awesome and curry udon was great. But the waitresses are not really friendly. I said “thank you” every dishes they served, but none of the waitresses acknowledged or responded. More than 5 times!!! It was just sad…

Taste just as good as other branches! My favorite shinsengumi is still the Gardena branch (they got this super yummy pork miso soup and triangular shaped chicken cartilage). But everything we ordered today were all really good, even the vegan bowl was surprisingly good highly recommend pork belly with shiso, soft shell crab, chicken with green onion, chicken wings, and all the beef skewers.
