I've been to this place many times. It is my favorite place to get ramen from. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Hakata is usually busy on a daily basis. This place allows you to choose the firmness of your noodles, how much oil you want and the strength of soup base. They have good deals during lunch time. Check this place out! :)

Hakata Ramen Shinsengumi has the best Ramen! You will need to select the firmness of the ramen (pasta), and both the degree of oil and broth strength (saltiness) of the soup broth. The desserts are awesome also. I have been there many times recently and the service is aces, very friendly and welcoming. In fact some of them come & chat with us so we can practice speaking Japanese! Expect to wait as it's usually always very crowded, but it is well worth the wait. They are open late almost every day which is great!

Everything Bad!!! The ramen tastes like dishwater. Everything tastes artificial. The service was slow. The waiters were rude. It's a small, loud, and crowded. There are plenty of good ramen places in Gardena. Avoid this one at all costs!

Rude, Dishonest Business Tactics - Hakata Ramen Shinsengumi overcharge customers and strong-arm them into paying incorrect amounts. Overcrowded and terrible atmosphere, this is for loud twenty-somethings who care about socializing and not about food quality.

Shinsengumi is usually very crowded, so expect to wait a while to be seated. The food is definitely worth waiting for, the ramen is amazing and I never leave without being completely full.

This ramen place has been my friends' favorite place on EARTH! I think they would go there at least once a week. I haven't been able to join them for a long time because my work hour is super long and they close before I get home. But this place is wonderful! My friends LOVE their ramen noodles. I do love it too, the soup is fantastic, but I secretly wish they have a bit thicker noodle choice. So, I usually go for fried rice and ask for extra Takana pickles on the side. I hadn't had Takana pickles until I had it here last year since I moved from Japan 15 years ago. And they prep it so good! Just like my father (and he's from Kyushu) used to cook. Although I don't really care for their skinny noodles, I don't mind when they make it into Yaki Ramen. Now, that's yummy-licious! Also we like their spinach with sesame sauce, cream croquettes, and many other dishes. I've tried their seaweed salad for the first time and it was awesome! You can taste a bit of spiciness but man, it's dee-licious! It's always crowded and we have to wait most of the time but we never mind it because the food is so worth it and the servers are always friendly and super polite. We always have a great time! 5 stars!!! Pros: Great food and service, authentic Japanese taste Cons: always crowded, would love to have a thicker noodle option, wish they open late for hard workers like me!

We used to go to this place for many times. We liked it there then. But the owner opened more restaurants so good chefs and waiters were spreaded. Even the right hand man left so since then soup base ha lost its flavor and taste as well as quality of customer services. We went back to here this week and found they got worser. Sorry to say but we never go back.... Pros: Thumbs down Cons: expect to wait and wait and wait.......

Shin Sen Gumi's noodles are simply the best!! I'd recommend ordering the "set" meals. Comes w/ noodles, side dish, ... something else, and a drink. But anyways, i've been going here the last few years and the food is simply delicious. You may have to wait a while since it's a very popular local hangout. Pros: delicous food, excellent service Cons: may have to wait a while
