I had the opportunity to finally visit Shin Ramen this week. It had been on a list of mine since April, and I'm very disappointed in myself for not going sooner.
The staff were pleasant and efficient and the ambiance is fun in only the way fully-graffitied walls can convey. The relatively little indoor seating is going to be a problem when this place gets popular enough, though.
That said, I happened to be with a pretty good-sized group and was therefore able to try FAR more food in a night than any single person has any right to. All of it was delicious, and absolutely worth the trek.
Their Japanese curry was full-flavoured and savoury; we paired it with fairly typical chicken katsu and rice.
The takoyaki (listed on the menu under Dragon Ball; regular option) was cooked just-right with a bit more garnish than I personally care for, but still tasty.
Their Kara-Age chicken (very very very lightly battered chicken served with sweet chili oil dipping sauce) has the barest batter I've seen on chicken in a while, ensuring that you aren't just biting into fried crunch. You're actually eating chicken.
My own tonkotsu ramen (chashu pork, of course, with mushrooms and sprouts) was delicious. The broth was savoury without being too salty, and the noodles were just a touch softer than al dente when I got to them.
Unfortunately, now I want ramen again, and I suppose I'll have to go back.
Awesome and never disappointed. Everytime Im coming to LA whoever Comes with me gets to stop by and they never leave disappointed. Highly recommended this place
I've lived across the street for 8 months and finally got around to trying this spot out! I am extremely impressed as I got takeout and the quality was still top notch. Ordering online was fast and easy and they even have a rewards program!
What I got:
Pork bun 9/10 - very tasty, good cut of pork, a little too much mayo for my liking
Spicy tuna roll 10/10 - very fresh and good portion. Delicious!
Tonkotsu shio ramen 9/10 - amazing flavorful broth that isn't too salty. Good size cut of chashu. Loved the thick noodles. Seasoned egg was perfectly flavored and cooked well. Just wish the toppings portions were slightly larger.
Parking is limited but lucky me I can walk over. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Great place. Always a fan of the izakayas so I had to try this place out.
Price is good, Service is good, and food is good.
I went with the Yakitori and we did 2 rounds of the pitcher beer. Great time with friends at a cool izakaya. Also nice that they stay open a bit later then other restaurants.
Love it, and happy it’s walking distance.
Great food, better service. After spilling a large portion of my beer, our server snapped into action and cleaned up the mess quickly and graciously. She never made me feel guilty for my mistake and actually got me another one. The owner was outside directing vehicles into spots. He was very enthusiastic to accommodate guests and is one of those owners who is doing work beside his team where it counts. Great food, fantastic management, and fantastic service. This place has it all and needs more recognition! The sushi nigiri combo was great as well as our ramen.
Excellent ramen. Broth was tasty and not salty. Karaage chicken was crispy. Skews tasted good. Crispy rice Wagyu was interesting. Service was fast and friendly enthusiast staff.
Pretty slow service but the food was good. We enjoyed the crispy rice & the rolls we ordered. We were given an extra roll due to a mistake with our order which was a nice surprise.
Wow, the Madelyn roll at the Shin was absolutely delightful! The combination of salmon, chili oil, cucumber, avocado, and tempura flakes on the inside, along with tuna, ponzu, green onion, and chili garlic on the outside, creates a tantalizing blend of flavors and textures. The contrast between the fresh fish and the crunchy tempura flakes, along with the tanginess of the ponzu and the kick of the chili garlic, must have made for an incredible taste experience. A must try!
In addition to the mouthwatering Madelyn roll, Shin provided great service and a fantastic ambience. A combination of attentive and friendly service can truly enhance the dining experience, making you feel welcome and well taken care of.
Now one of my all time favorite sushi restaurants in LA hands down. From fresh toro to fresh wasabi and fantastic yellow tail. Me and my girlfriend had a great time with an attentive and friendly staff too. Will come back many times.
What a gem. Located in a smaller building near the Roosevelt hotel.
We ordered the Tuna Toro. Was the freshest tuna ever. The sushi steak with caviar was delicious.
Tim the owner came over and even told a few jokes. Eating here will be one of your best meals ever!
The food here is delicious and thankfully the space is open late. When I lived in the neighborhood I was a regular here and thoroughly enjoyed every meal.
The sushi is fresh.
Ramen is out of this world.
The owner is also lovely, he is great.
I highly recommend.
Parking is complicated here.
Shin Ramen is on another level. The cleanliness is 11/10. Each placesetting is individually wrapped protecting it from germs. Their ramen menu is setup to be very customizable... there are 3 vegan broth options among the mix of classic broths. The owner was our server and very obviously takes a super high level of care and puts an incredible passion into his restaurant. I've been craving the food, the service and atmosphere since I last visited and will be back as soon as I come to the area!
Update: this place is even better than I remembered! Highly recommend the paiten ramen and the tofu nigiri!
