Shin-Sen-Gumi 2GO - Anaheim

Shin-Sen-Gumi 2GO in Anaheim is a solid option when you’re craving authentic Japanese flavors to-go. The food tastes very close to their sit-down locations, especially the ramen and yakitori, which were flavorful and satisfying. Portions were generous and everything was packed well for takeout. Service was efficient and friendly, though the wait can be a bit longer during busy times. While the experience isn’t quite the same as dining in, it’s still a great choice for quality Japanese food on the go. I’ll definitely order again when I’m in the area.

Man, where do I even start? This is going to be a long and detailed review — and it’s BAD! I always tell people: don’t always trust Yelp ratings (good or bad) because a lot of them are biased and based purely on personal experiences. I usually trust them about 70%, and the other 30% I prefer to find out for myself. Rating: ⭐️⭐️ (2/5) Category: Japanese Ramen / Quick Service Location: W Center Street Promenade, near S Lemon St, Anaheim ⸻ 📍 Location & Parking This restaurant is located on W Center Street Promenade near S Lemon St, right next to the parking garage and House of Chimney Cakes. Okayama Kobo Bakery is just a few shops away (2–3 doors down). Parking is not an issue here — you’ll find plenty of options, including the parking garage, nearby street parking (green-zone 90-minute limit), and several parking stalls around the area. ⸻ 🍜 First Impressions I came here thinking, “It’s a big, trustworthy brand — how bad could it be?” The Yelp rating was around 3.6 stars, and I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the reviews turned out to be accurate — if not generous. This is an express version of Shin-Sen-Gumi, so I understand that service might be streamlined. But still — at least put some effort into staff presence, customer service, and food quality. When I walked in, there wasn’t a single staff member at the front. No greeting, no assistance — nothing. There’s a kiosk for ordering, so I placed my order there: ramen, miso soup, and spam musubi, plus a bottle of black milk tea from the fridge beside the kiosk. After a few minutes, I finally saw a staff member through the kitchen window. When I asked if I could just grab my drink, he looked at me strangely — not exactly the friendliest interaction. ⸻ 🍲 Food Quality After waiting about 10 minutes, my order was ready. Since there were no indoor tables, I sat outside at one of the public tables (still not sure if they belong to the restaurant). • Miso Soup: Served in a paper hot cup — not a big deal, but odd presentation. The taste? Extremely watery. I’d say 5% miso flavor at best. • Ramen: The soup wasn’t hot, and neither were the noodles. Once poured together, the entire bowl was just lukewarm. The extra chashu I ordered separately wasn’t even warm — a real letdown. • Spam Musubi: Ironically, this was the best item I had. Flavorful and nicely done — the only reason I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1.

I stopped by this place for a quick lunch, the sushi wrap is pretty interesting, there are a lot of different options. The guy was very nice and helpful. I got the combo with the rice sandwich and the spicy Hakata. It was nice to eat it outdoors. The rice sandwich tasted good, a little smaller than I expected. But the ramen was really just so so. It didn't taste like fresh soup more like a premade frozen type. The noodle amount was very small too.

Pathetic. We ordered katsu and legit it was the size of the plastic spoon... Do NOT get the katsu... Like are you for real? Lol They must be struggling for 20 bucks this is pathetic. Do better yo

Honestly I was extremely disappointed in the food. I have had shin sen gumi in Irvine and the food is amazing! I know that other locations are equally as good so I thought this place would be perfect since it’s 1) local to me and 2) a to go location for convenience. Unfortunately the broth lacked flavor and the body of it was just not what I have always experienced at the other locations. The Sam’s club tonkatsu ramens seem to have more flavor than what I ate here. I don’t usually send bad reviews but this was honestly so underwhelming that I hope to help anyone else who has also went into the restaurant with a great experience and wanting to try this to-go location. Service was okay and the location is great for outside dining. Just overall not a great experience to ever return.

A convenient spot to grab your rice sandwiches and soups for lunch, picnic, or on the go. Highlights of the menu: 1. Plum & shiso - Ume shiso 2. Spicy cod roe - Mentai 3. Tuna & mayonnaise - Tuna mayo 4. Pork fillet cutlet - Tonkatsu 5. Fried chicken - Karaage 6. Grilled eel with sweet soy sauce- Unagi 7. A5 wagyu - limited time special 8. Mizutaki soup - chicken soup 9. Spicy soup - fish & pork belly soup 10. Karaage apertizer

It's a small place and the menu is different now from before. Check their website not the pictures here. The taste wasn't there, bland. Did not finish. The sauce wasn't portioned correctly and was just a ball in the middle. Same as my friend's ume one; the ume was just one big thing in the middle instead of spread out. The order machine was in an odd place and the people that worked there seemed almost scared of us and avoided eye contact. I wouldn't want the open window while I'm working either.

Do not order anything for pick up here. Ordered 30 min ahead of time today and when I arrived they said it would take another 20 min to fill my order and said they could not cancel my order, so not only did I lose $14 I also didn’t not get my food because they took over an hour to make Ume Shiso. To make matters worse both employees seemed sick and were coughing and had very runny noses and kept touching there nose and touching the food.

Musubi sandos!! Such a niche and yummy spot in downtown Anaheim. The inside is very clean, vibrant, and cute! The sandos are decently sized and delicious! I thought they would be smaller, but 1 sando was filling for me! Customer service was great and my order came out very fast Tuna Mayo ($4.25): Loved how it also had spam because that's my favorite. The sweet Omlette was also very good Sausage ($5.75): Also very good, I could imagine eating this for breakfast! Highly recommend. My boyfriend enjoyed it a lot

30 min wait for a single ramen when there was nobody in the store is INSANE! Do better and teach your employees to have better attitudes.

Quite impressed with this place. A small stand only meant for to-go orders but the inside furnishings and outside signages draw customers' attention. I was in an industry event nearby and my coworkers and I saw this place packed with people lining up outside the store. Got us curious, and I personally loved the black and gold motif - we made sure to check what the hype was all about :) Great ramen, and will definitely make sure to come back for the rice sandwiches.

The ramen was very salty. Service was aight. The guy told me "Wassup", no inside seating just outside so don't come if it's raining.

Charging for everything and I bet they're blaming their greed on the economy. With so many better ramen places, you would think they care about people/customers. $5 for an egg is RIDICULOUS and the egg wasn't even seasoned, just a plain soft boiled egg. Most places include an egg too. $20 for this ramen is THEFT. Look how little broth they give you (soda can for scale). Sooo SMALL I was still hungry after (no I'm not obese) so I went and ordered a burger and fries. With sooo many other great ramen places, go anywhere elseeeee because you'll still be hungry unless you order 2 portions for yourself.

I have such fond memories of Shen shin gumi in Fountain Valley but realized this is Shin sen gumi. Instead of letting down my ramen expectations I got a cha shu rice sandwich. It wasn't very flavorful but it is very convenient for a snack before going into the rink. Sweet omelet was not overly sweet and a nice balance to the saltiness of the seaweed & underwhelming taste of the cha shu. All in all ok.

Haiku: Shin Sen Gumi 2Go Handheld, on-the-go All sorts of rice sandwiches Perfect for picnics. --- Who knew rice sandwiches existed? This is essentially an onigiri with a sweet egg, but in sandwich form. I got the Unagi, a grilled eel polished with a sweet soy glaze and fresh with a shiso leaf and sweet egg omelet. I also got the Chashu Pork. Although it had great taste from the crunchy chili oil, the chashu was lacking in presence and wish there was more. I'd like to see the protein items to be a little bit more substantial. I was disappointed that they don't carry yakitori items anymore. However, they just started carrying ramen again. I love SSG Hakata ramen, so I'll have to come back to this location and try it.

I'd been craving curry, so I decided to give this place a try even though they're more known for their ramen. I got the Curry Rice with Karaage and was really impressed. I ordered it at spicy level 5, and the curry was so flavorful with quite a kick without being overwhelming. The chicken karaage was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, making it a great complement to the rich curry. I loved dipping the chicken into the curry sauce! The portion was generous making it a satisfying meal. I ordered online and was able to pick up my food within 10 minutes. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu. If you're a fan of Japanese curry, this is a solid choice.

Grabbed a chashu mayo rice sandwich while shopping a street market and it really hit the spot! For $5, it's the perfect size if you're hungry but not hungry enough for a full meal. They were pretty quick, I ordered through a tablet mounted on the wall. I think it could have been clearer that there was no one manning the register. This is really a take out only spot - no inside seating.

Nice cool day in December to have some ramen. I've always been a fan of Shinsengumi and love the location in Fountain Valley. Since this one is closer to me, I was stoked and want to try. Parking is not hard to find, there is a parking structure nearby. Upon arriving, the shop reminds me of a stall-like feel but in a shopfront. Many photos on the menu and a handful of selections available. I had to order the Hakata Ramen and I had also gotten the Katsu Rice Sandwich (kind of like a Musubi with more umami). Gotten the food to-go. When I got to eat the ramen almost 2 hours later, it was still warm but I had heat it up because i like it just a bit warmer. It was delicious but I do prefer eating it at the restaurant much more. Did not get much interaction with the staff but everything was easy and smooth. Would come back again if I am craving ramen, but I would much prefer the restaurant version.

Imagine paying almost $20 for a tuna mayo curry bowl and receiving 2 teaspoons worth of tuna. It doesn't even come close to the advertised amount.

I recently tried this ramen spot for the first time after receiving a gift card over the holidays. The location is super convenient in downtown Anaheim, with lots of street and garage parking available. The vibe is casual, and while you order to go, there are outdoor tables where you can enjoy your meal al fresco. We went with the original hakata ramen, which came with chashu (sliced pork) and scallions. You can add extras like eggs or bean sprouts. The portion was a bit smaller than expected and the noodles were more on the al dente side but the broth and chashu had good flavor. We also tried the chashu, karaage and tuna mayo "sushi" sandwiches, last two recommended by the cashier. The tuna mayo was my personal favorite - it had a nice, creamy flavor. The karaage was also good, with a piece of tender chicken. They also offer Japanese curries with rice. Overall, a solid spot for a quick bite.

Ramen was amazing. But let me tell you don't get the chicken karage. It's really greasy not crunchy. I asked for a spicy sauce and I got the citrus one.

Their menu has limited items now. No ramen or anything else but music is and a few appetizers.

TL; DR - worth a try especially if you like spam musubis. Their rice sandwiches are a close cousin. Definitely going to miss their katsu curry, but their new concept of rice sandwiches fits the 2GO vibe. Saw that they changed their menu and thought it was an April Fools joke... but it wasn't. Came the first weekend of the change to check it out and wasn't disappointed. Rice sandwiches are room temperature and prepackaged. More reminiscent of to go foods in Japan. Tuna Mayo - filling was tuna mayo with cucumber, spam, and tamago. Light and refreshing. Mentai - filling was spicy roe with cucumber, spam, and egg. Nice kick and briny taste. Chashu- filling was chopped up chashu. Our least favorite since the room temperature pork texture was not for us.

Their sausage rice sandwich is good. Service is very friendly too. A bit hot inside, but it's only for to go

Quick service, very tasty food with reasonable price. Great quality overall. My go to on sunday mornings/noon for a quick and filling bite

Staff (4/5): helpful describing the difference between Spicy Hakata Ramen and Spicy Dandan Men. Slow service but luckily only one group of 4 ahead of us. Food (3/5) definitely spicy enough, some other flavor notes, a different thinner noodle with a texture that I didn't appreciate as much as other ramens. Thinly sliced meat is well cooked. You have to pay extra for any toppings and the choices are limited. At least the broth was piping hot. And the fried gyoza we added was pretty good, crispy. Ambience (3/5) clean, tiny, definitely a to-go spot, with a few outdoor benches. Cold on a 50-degree breezy evening. Not much warmer inside. They'll text you when your food is ready if you feel like walking around to jeep warm.

THIS LOCATION IS A TO GO SPOT! Meaning all the food is served in plastic. The ramen was overpriced with very small portions and no fix ins. We got the hakata ($12) and spicy hakata ramen ($14). There are chairs and tables outside that are first come, first serve. Unless you are really craving ramen or in a hurry to get ramen, I would pass on this location.

我們要過著是自己的精彩，而不是別人的期待，成長本來就不是一件容易的事，好日子需要生活去醞釀，困難的事，就交給時間去消化吧～ 新撰組，非常久的老店了，一開始只有幾家，後來他們越開越多，可是我覺得不是每一家店面的食物，火候都控制的一樣，我最喜歡的還是 fountain valley 那家，今天要介紹的這一家是在downtown Anaheim，他們中午就有開了，但每次點的時候一樣的東西比較多的份量，例如，蝦子，要點一次就是三根....，烤的也還可以，這家也有拉麵，不過我是都是去吃燒烤而已，其實那一條街上餐館還有很多別的選擇， 可以過去晃晃， 吃完還可以到旁邊有名的麵包店買麵包!

The kids liked the musubi's. I had the karaage chicken. I felt like I've had better but it's a nice place to for a snack and it satisfied my kids especially because the bakery we wanted to go was closed that day.

Wow I don't normally leave reviews for places but this place DESERVES a review!!! The service was awesome, he was friendly and was patient with us ordering. The place was well kept and clean and they were stocked on condiments and utensils. They also had water and cups out which I thought was nice. The prices were awesome too, only 3-5$ for the little wraps!! My friend got the A5 Wagyu and the unagi. I got the tonkatsu and karaage. It did take a bit of time for our orders but they were made to order. Each was freshly made and hot when we got it. But it was all worth the wait. The rice was super soft and fluffy, and the egg inside was sweet and complimented the meats amazingly!! The meat was so tender and perfectly seasoned as well. I love tonkatsu and it was just perfectly made. I was saying mmmm with every bite!! Definitely will be coming back very soon!! :)

Pretty good for a quick bite. The cashier was super friendly. Lots of seating outside. I liked the spam a lot more than I liked the shrimp. I would come back.

Came here on a Saturday around lunchtime. Took over 40 mins for seaweed sandwiches. It was a shitshow. Two employees working and neither were confident when I would get my order. Stars off for lack of communication and poor service. Also saw one worker touching food with bare hands. Food was fine. Kinda overpriced for non sandwich items. Sour plum was quite sour. Generous size for sandwiches.

Ramen that's only to go? Gave it a try since shin sen gumi in fountain valley is like my favorite place ever. For sharing the same name, it doesn't really share the same taste. It's more like a second cousin instead of a sister restaurant. The noodles seem to be similar but I would love to be able to choose firm as you do at the other location. I got the roasted garlic and the broth was quite flavorful with a clean taste. There are some topping missing like the ginger and the boiled egg is quite literally a 10 minute boiled egg that isn't marinated or or soft boiled at all. Verdict: It's not the same, but it's not bad. For convenience? I might give them a second chance and come back for their standard $12.50 hakata ramen and make sure to add ginger Food: 7/10 Value: 5/10

I can see the vision and if it was well executed consistently it would be a pretty decent place to grab a quick bite from. We got the karaage and Katsu options. The katsu was fresh so it was crispy, warm, delicious. The karaage was older so it was soggy, cold, mediocre :( Wanted to love it all but only just liked the katsu one. The lady who took our order and prepped the food was the same person. I think because they weren't super busy, so would probably be losing money if they staffed one cashier and one cook. Perhaps visiting on a busy day and getting freshly made to order ones would have a better outcome (:

I would like to say I am a huge Shin Sen Gumi fan overall, I visit many of the different locations... which is what makes this review hard to write because their ramen and yakitori are always outstanding. This location has sadly decided to not offer ramen (except the frozen take home) or yakitori to go any longer. They are only offering these "sandwiches" which are rice cabbage or lettuce, a filling and a piece of tamago (sweet omelet). I had the ebi fry and the Niku Miso. The ebi fry was ok, was 2 tempura shrimp with rice, cabbage and the omelet. First, they make them ahead so the nori is soggy and the shrimp not crisp. I did eat the whole thing of that one. The more egregious was the Niku Miso. First, there was barely a smear of the miso ground beef (see picture I added) , a wilted piece of lettuce, and the rice and seaweed. Again the seaweed was soggy because they are made ahead. I actually took one bite and threw the rest away when I saw how little meat was in it. I have no incentive to try any of the others including the $24 waygu. Now I will also say that Center St in Anaheim is a challenging place for any restaurant to be. Unless there is an event here there is no foot traffic compared with the Packing House, so if the owner is trying just to stay alive by lowering his overhead I totally get it. But if you are going to limit your menu to such a small selection it needs to be on point or why go there. The guy behind the counter who took the order was nice and he did say they will probably do the skewers when there are events on Center St but other than that not doing them anymore. I really hope they change their mind on the menu as it was nice having once so close in Anaheim. But as for the current offerings I won't be going back

I did a mobile order for a sausage, tuna mayo, karaage, and ebi fry. The tuna and sausage was enjoyable; however the karaage and ebi fry was not fresh. All rice rolls are served cold - seems like it was premade and left out. The ebi fry or karaage was not crispy so it is not something I would want to eat unless packing for a picnic that I'm having later. The karaage tastes like teriyaki. For the price it is okay! However I will stick to things that can be enjoyed eaten cold

Perfect for a quick ramen fix! We originally were in the area for the nearby bakery, but got hungry as we were waiting in the long line. This spot was conveniently located a couple stores down! You order at the counter and wait for your name to be called. I got their new Spicy Satsuma Ramen and was pleasantly surprised! I didn't really expect much, but it was SO delicious. The broth was absolute perfection with spicy and garlic-y notes. It also came with a side of dried onions to sprinkle on top which made for the perfect garnish. The portion size is on the smaller side. Will definitely dive into their yakitori menu the next time I'm here!

These sandwiches remind me of a deconstructed, fancy spam Musubi. Price ranging from $4-6 depending on the toppings- the food overall is good- we ordered the egg and spam, spicy tuna, sausages and everything was pretty tasty! Would definitely come back.

Amazing. Cheap easy always ready to go option. My personal favorite the tuna mayo!!! Service is quick. If you prefer not to talk they have an iPad. Walk in and out good experience

The food is always good and the staff is always so kind. Be sure to come on yakitori days. One of the few places that offer chicken skin and cartilage skewers. I always get a set of 4 skewers with those 2 and pork belly and tsukune.

Much like alcohol, browsing menus while hungry definitely impairs your judgement... or lack of. I was walking back to my car after getting my haircut and needed to eat lunch before I went riding. Shin Sen Gumi (SSG) was on the way back to my car. While I skimmed the menu, the magic words popped out at me, "BEEF BOWL" so I figured why not use this as an excuse to grab some lunch? Well, against my better judgement, I went for their spicy chashu bowl instead. I mean, I've had great chashu bowls elsewhere, like from Daikokuya and Santouka, so it has to be good, right? WRONG. So wrong. I knew I should've just stuck with my original choice. I seriously contemplated going back and asking if I could get something else, but I'm not really a confrontational type of guy and the whole situation would just be really awkward and uncomfortable so I sucked it up and took the L. First off, it's just a tiny little image of the rice bowl, no description. It comes with an onsen tamago which I absolutely hate the texture of. On top of that, it was cold, so it was like eating slimy cold goopy egg white mixed in with some generic spicy red sauce and mayonnaise. Had I known it came with the egg, I would've gotten a beef bowl instead. What a waste of money. In all honesty, I'm not a fan of SSG in general. Their ramen noodles are too thin and they nickel and dime you for every add-on. Their menu overall is just insanely overpriced for what they offer. The only good Shin Sen Gumi was the lunch buffet in Monterey Park before COVID shut them down. That place was EXCELLENT value and the staff there was the best. Today was my 2nd and last visit for sure. Hard pass.

Been here two times. I walked by saw their rice sandwich menu and thought it looked very Hawaiian influenced (seaweed and spam) and Japanese comfort snack food. I have never been to either state or country but this I had to try to get the possible vibe of those places. I ended up ordering the Chicken Karage rice sandwich and it was very good. Best to go in the morning when they open because it is warmer. It's supposed to be served room temp. But i loved my sandwich and it was a great quick bite for only 6.19$ ! Great deal to me. I have had karaage at a lot of restaurants but shin-sen-gumi seems to be the only one that marinades theirs and fry's it which tastes very good. Basically, they make the best in my opinion. They do wrap these sandwiches in plastic so your fried karaage will loose the crisp but not soggy. If you visit their traditional restaurant of course it won't be like that. If you don't like tamago sushi, you're probably not going to like it because they make a giant tamago layer with your other protein. Wish this place was closer. I enjoyed the concept ! wish they would wrap this with a small plate but I understand they may want to limit waste.

This location was my go to place for ramen and yakitori and I was very sad to hear they got rid of both from their menu as well as almost everything else. As another person mention, I really thought it was an April Fools joke initially. Or at least hoped. However, I wanted to give the rice sandwiches a fair chance and went today to grab one for dinner. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed. I ordered the Chashu Sandwich. The portion size was kinda small, but fairly priced. The flavors were ok. There wasn't enough chopped chashu to really compete with the flavors of the rice and egg. Maybe another sandwich would have been different, but this didn't do it for me. I used to crave the ramen here, and would visit Center Street just to go to Shin-Sen-Gumi. I'm not sure I can say the same now. If I'm at Center Street for an event, I might try it again. But I don't see myself going out of my way to visit anymore. Hopefully they will consider bringing back some ramen in addition to the sandwiches. As of today, the sign outside the building still says ramen and yakitori. Maybe there's hope.

Came here on a whim before we were to drive back to our home town. Both of us got the Japanese curry. I got the fried pork. We shared a Calpico. I'm not going to lie, we were on vacation. I wanted to to a sit down place and have one last fancy meal before we drive home. When I initially looked down at my to-go order, I felt a little let down at first. Then we started eating, and well. Whatever feelings of regret I had were quickly swept away. The katsu was perfectly crispy and and juicy. The pickled veggies paired well with the thick curry sauce that coated everything in a delightful way. My partner was also having the best time with his meal. He told me Japanese curry is actually one of his favorites. He hadn't had Japanese curry since the Curry House shut down in Little Tokyo. So, in the end, we had a wonderful conclusion to our vacation. The service was good. We got our food pretty quickly considering they were near closing, and the food came out great! Will come again if we are in the area again!

Came here and twice and I really enjoyed it. I have always been to the regular Shin Sen Gumi but this is a little different because it is quick service. They have outdoor seating only. There is plenty of seating since it is located on Center St where all the restaurants are. I will have to say that prices are on the pricier side but worth it. We ordered 2 Hakata Ramens. One we added toppings: extra chasu, flavored egg, fried onion, and garlic chip. All the toppings are extra so keep that in mind. We also ordered a side of Tsukune skewer for $14. It comes with 4 skewers. These are my favorite. If you are feeling under the weather, this is the place to be. The broth is great when you are sick or for a cold, winter day.

We had a craving for Ramen, and I've been to a few of the Shinsengumi's, and we were in Anaheim looked up to see where the closest one was and surprise there was this one. I didn't know what to expect until we got there. I didn't realize it was a little small establishment that you ordered your food to go or that you could have it. there on the outside patio. And it's very clean inside but for your first time there, it's a little different than the other establishments, and the girl behind the counter was not very helpful. I can barely hear her, so I proceeded to order we only had to wait maybe about 10 minutes maybe 15 we sat outside. They called our name we received our food , everything look great I've always liked Shinsengumi Ramen, especially the broth, but I did forget how skinny and tiny the noodles are, and I think that's the reason why I stopped going in the first place and found another Ramen Place,Ramen was good. The rest of the food was pretty good. The area that it's located in is very nice Lots of restaurants dessert places tea, houses it's in a great location

Great omusubi! There's no ample parking so had to park into public parking which took extra time for just picking up. But we enjoyed the food!

I usually go for their Yakitori, I didn't know they don't serve Yakitori anymore as of a year ago. I ended up leaving because that's the only thing I was craving for.

I generally don't like the Ramen from Shin Sen Gumi that much. I like the broth just not their thin noodles. After years of ramen eating. I still prefer the offerings from Santouka. How we ended up eating here was actually out of convenience. We were taking a break from Disneyland since my kid was cranky from walking all day and needed to nap in the car for an hour, we decided to grab a bit to eat without the crazy Disney prices. My wife decided on Craft which is right next door, upon arrival, the wait was ridiculous and we needed to be done before the fireworks so Shin Sen Gumi it was. This "2GO" system doesn't make it great, the eggs that were order for the ramen were cold and came in plastic sauce cups. The extra side of noodles was on a paper tray...the noodles got stuck to the bottom pretty easily so I had to fight to get it out, pretty sure we ate some paper and wax. I was more excited about the yakitori offering since meat on stick is always good. It was mostly good, the meatball one wasn't that good though, it was pretty bland and the sauce it was dipped it was too bitter. Seating was outside since this place is specifically "2GO" there 4-5 tables right outside, a small little deck was built outside so that was a bit less weird with the Crafts' people waiting all around us while we ate. Lastly the do have a speaker outside so you will hear your name being called out, no need to stand right next to their door.

I had lunch at Shin-Sen-Gumi 2GO. The place is clean and tiny, definitely designed as a to-go spot with a few outdoor benches available. Since it's primarily a takeout place, dine-in options are not available. I was expecting the usual Shin-Sen-Gumi style, but it was different from what I'm used to. I ordered their karaage sandwich, and it was just alright. Overall, I prefer the experience and offerings at their other locations.

Picked up a Hakata ramen for dinner. Took less than 10 mins to get my order. The soup and ramen were packaged nicely. The Chashu pieces were kind of tiny. The soup base is very rich and good. Easy to find parking. Definitely will come back again.

Bomb af ume shisho. Excellent service. There was no line at 4:23 on a Wednesday. Highly recommend

My very fist spicy noodle, City of Anaheim has a great Promenade...EV Charging and all sorts of shops. The service was good being my fist time the offered suggestions and was patient. I chose to eat in my car because of the cold weather outside hence hot spicy noodles...lol the do offer outside dining if that's your thing and they have a YELP check in offer so be sure to check in before you order....Bon Appétit YELPERS!
