Master Critic Review
Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori Izakaya
8.1
A long-running Hakata-style ramen shop where you customize firmness, richness, and toppings before the first slurp. The tonkotsu broth is creamy without getting heavy, and the thin noodles hit that classic Fukuoka bite. It’s a reliable, no-fuss ramen night anchor for Sawtelle.
