I haven't been to the San Gabriel one yet, but the Fountain Valley one does a decent job if you order heavy flavor. My biggest problem with Shinsengumi is I never seem to be able to get a *hot* bowl of soup. If you want *heavy* flavor, you might want to come down to the OC and give Kohryu a try. Their tonkotsu is heavier and more oily than Shinsen. Shinsengumi’s tonkotsu does seem to be a little on the light side compared to some of the other tonkotsu ramen I’ve tried.

Do they switch to miso if choosing heavy flavor, or what's the best combination to get tonkotsu soup base?? (I'm a tonkotsu lover~) Or maybe I just shouldn't go to San Gabriel store?

There is also a Shinsengumi yakitori restaurant next to nabe-styled restaurant, but I can't recall the name due to a senior moment. Men-bei, located across the parking lot from Musha in Gardena used to have a location in West LA on Santa Monica Blvd. near U-zen with a great-tasting soup (albeit weak noodles) and a very light, but filling fried rice. The one in Gardena is not worth walking past. Ma-ma ramen is just that...mama (Japanese pun meaning so-so). However, Santoka Ramen, in Costa Mesa, will be coming to Santa Monica Mitsuwa soon, so ramen boys and girls, grab your coats and head out.

And yes, there will be a review of Shinsengumi in the future.) Ebisu’s shoyu and chashu ramen start off with a rich but not too thick soup base. The pork, chicken, and shoyu flavors (among other ingredients) are well-balanced and satisfying, especially on a cold day. The noodles are flavorful, soaking up the soup nicely, and have a nice chewy texture. The green onions, bamboo, bean sprouts, and a boiled egg half fill out the ramen. The pork…well, the pork is inconsistent. Sometimes, it’s just fatty and soft enough to be a delight. More often than not, though, it’s a bit tough, with a too-strong pork smell that overpowers the rest of the ramen. It seems like you have a better chance of getting the “good pork” at dinner for some reason.
