    First time coming to this location since the rebrand and they no longer serve ramen. I was surprised at the quality still being great for their other items. The hamachi was fresh and flavorful and the steak was tender. We also got the pork omelette which was solid as well. Overall a pretty solid meal and I'd visit again especially for their happy hour deals!

    First thing this restaurant customer service was awesome. They are very welcoming and patient as this was our first time here. The food was excellent, freshly cooked to order and the taste of the yakitori was very good. We really enjoyed the service and food. The ambience is very casual and pleasant. We will definitely come back when we are in the neighborhood. Thank you Shin-Sen-Gumi for the great dining experience. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend this place.

    Back for a new menu. Never disappoints. They also have special drinks buy one get one on a specific day of course. The food is amazing as always, however, they didn't have the one main dish that we came for. The beef capaccio with UNI. I was a bit disappointed but given how popular the dish was, I will have to forgive them. But yes .. it's a great yakotori place given that it's in the San Gabriel and Alhambra area.

    Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori has become a staple for the hubby & I. Came again over the weekend and were told they updated their menu at the beginning of June (no more ramen & curries), though they have some new Udon options (more pasta-style). I think their menu shift was from them recognizing what was working and what wasn't. Hopefully they can add more yakitori combos even for weekends (i.e. 5 skewers for set price or 10 skewers for set price). My go to skewers are Beef Tongue, Chicken Thigh w/ Green Onion (with Yakitori Sauce), Enoki Mushroom w/ Pork Belly & their new *dinner only* Sukiyaki skewer. Yum! I love using a bit of the chili powder and yuzu pepper on all the skewers. =P We always get the Seaweed Salad and Takoyaki as well. Very much a Japanese bar food vibe. They've also added more drinks to their menu: assorted Sake (sake tasting - choose 4 for $15); cocktails, etc. I tried a Spritz and also the Attack on Titan Sake flight which was fun. I'll miss the curry udon, but so far I like the menu revamp! Restrooms are located by the patio area. Parking is available in lot right behind restaurant. Back patio entrance may not be open all the time, so you may have to walk around...or you can park across at 88 Alhambra Place or other lots nearby the movie theater or further up 1st Street.
