The story behind the bowl
Shin-Sen-Gumi brought a customizable Hakata ramen style to Los Angeles, where diners can tune noodle firmness, broth salt and aromatic oil. That hands-on ordering ritual is part of the restaurant's identity.
Before you go: Keep the first bowl close to the recommended settings, then use kaedama if you still have broth.
