Sawtelle Blvd is packed with ramen shops. Shin-Sen-Gumi is one of them. This place is a north of Santa Monica Blvd, so it’s a little removed from the normal hustle and bustle you think of when picturing Sawtelle. This place has an extensive menu.

Sawtelle Blvd is packed with ramen shops. The ramen at Tatsu is of high quality. But my ordering and waiting experience really took away from my overall view of this place.
