Shin

Sushi, Ramen, Sake & Beer

Where Hollywood meets Japan

Ramen, sushi & yakitori on La Brea. Broths simmered from scratch, fish cut to order, and a bowl good enough for the Ramen Museum in Japan — three times.

Easy parking: Shin has its own lot, plus additional Shin-only parking right beside it.

The only U.S. restaurant ever featured in Japan's Ramen Museum

The Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum honors a small group of ramen shops from across Japan — and one from Hollywood. Shin's recipes were selected to represent authentic ramen not once, but three times, and the same bowls are on our menu today.

What to order first

Everything is made from scratch — the broths, the sauces, even our house Fireball chili paste. Start with the bowls and plates that made our name.

Shin Ramen bowl

Our namesake. 55% pork broth, 45% chicken broth, flavored with our house-made sweet sauce, sea salt and a touch of bonito flakes.

Truffled thick noodles for dipping in a pork broth with mushrooms and cream — finished tableside with a roasted mini-marshmallow melted into the broth.

A5 Wagyu Rock with hot lava stone

A5 Wagyu Rock

49 / 85

A5 Wagyu served with a sizzling-hot Mt. Fuji lava rock, so you sear each slice yourself at the table. For one or for two.

Crispy rice with wagyu and caviar

Crispy Rice with Wagyu & Caviar

Two pieces of fried crispy rice topped with seared A5 Wagyu and caviar — the sushi bar showing off.

Fifteen years of true ramen

Shin has been serving Hollywood since 2011, carrying on the flavors of Ikemen and Shin Ya. Our chefs source ingredients from Japan and close to home, and only the best and freshest makes it to your plate — traditional ramen and gyoza, plus a full sushi bar and yakitori, all at neighborhood prices.

The room is relaxed but polished: high-back leather booths, a sushi bar and a ramen bar where you can watch every course come together. Whether it's your first bowl or your hundredth, you'll leave happy.

And keep your eyes open. Our founder is a working magician and Magic Castle member, so you never know which magician might walk through the door — or when Zero the dog will make an appearance.
