Shin Sen Gumi - Irvine

One of the finest ramen chains in California! The standout feature is the highly customizable ramen dish, which starts with a traditional tonkotsu broth. The ordering process is straightforward; you receive a sheet where you can select your preferences, including various toppings and extras. Overall, it’s a fantastic ramen experience!

My favorite ramen place ever. Although they don't have so many vegetable-growing options, I'm glad they have at least one dish I like. The spicy ****. I'll make sure they don't remember meat/pork strictly. It's my favorite. Whenever I go there, I always ask for this court.

I was never a fan of udon but this place just changed my mind about that in the most surprising way. We had the Ultimate Curry Udon, Softself crab, and the sausage and they were pleasantly amazing. Service was top notch too. Definitely will go back. The portion is quite big for us, we ordered the regular size and it could feed two people.

Udon Ramen place. Serves one type of ramen (basic chashu pork ramen) with a large amount of options for customization (noodle firmness, saltiness, oil level, fat level, all toppings) so don't expect to choose from other types of ramen broth. Way more variety in udon, and a good selection of sides as well. May seem on the pricier side, but the amount you get is also fairly large. Pictured is ultimate curry udon, shrimp tempura curry udon, and shrimp tempura udon. All regular sizes. Udon noodle was softer than my liking, but still good.

Our favorite ramen. Hands down. I've been to this location, Fountain Valley, and one in LA. They're all delicious. This one tends to not be too crazy busy which is great. Ramen... Delicious. All the appetizers... Delicious. Literally everything is delicious. I crave this stuff.
