Shinsengumi Ramen

I have tried many ramen restaurants here in LA. I best that I found is Shinsengumi. The place lets you customize your own ramen bowl. They let you choose the toppings, the level of hardness of the noodle, the stength of the taste of the soup, etc. Other than ramen, they also serve excellent gyoza, fried rice, takowasa (wasabi squid), and soboro (minced prok over rice), etc. Many of their dishes come in small portions and they taste good with their draft beer. By the way if you like natto (fermented soy beans) you should order Stamina Natto. It's natto with cut mountain potato, green onion, okra, and raw quail egg. Mix them with a little soy sause. Tastes great !

There are many branches, and the brand extents to other kinds of Japanese such as Shabu Shabu, Chanko Nabe, Yakitori, even Togos. Check out their website: Shinsengumiusa.com
