About

Ramen Isshin serves authentic Japanese noodle dishes characterized by complex, deep-flavored broths and meticulously prepared ingredients. The menu centers on traditional techniques, offering signature bowls like the red miso ramen that balance savory richness with precise spice levels. Thick, chewy noodles are crafted to provide the ideal texture for absorbing the concentrated essence of slow-simmered pork or vegetable bases. Patrons observe an open kitchen environment where focus remains on the rapid, consistent execution of classic recipes. Every bowl incorporates fresh toppings including seasoned bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, and soft-boiled eggs marinated to perfection. This establishment prioritizes the integrity of traditional ramen preparation while maintaining a focused selection of appetizers and sides that complement the main noodle offerings. Consistency and technical proficiency define the culinary approach found at this noodle house.

We mostly order online, but we do dine-in on occasion. This is our favourite neighbourhood ramen place & I highly recommend the roasted garlic shoyu ramen. It is simply amazing & every guest we've shown it to has enjoyed it too!! The atmosphere at the restaurant is beautiful & reminds us of our trip to Japan, many years ago. Love this place!

Lovely little ramen place with vegan options ! The food was fantastic, garlic edamame were wow (you need to ask without fish sauce) & the potato & corn fritters are vegan too. Ramen were delicious, they use kale pasta for the vegan version & I would have never guessed that it was kale ! My only complaint would be that the waitress wasn't aware of the menu ; at first when I asked for the vegan options she said nothing is vegan, only vegetarian... so then I asked what about kale noodles with the vegetarian ramen no egg, & she had to ask, when a big advertisement was promoting « vegan vibes » with the ramen bowls. Other than that I loved the ambience & you can order online directly to place your order. Ohhh but the little table lamps weren't working, that made me sad 🥹 but I would def go back, you just always have to be careful !

Had the Shio & Garlic Shoyu ramen, broth was great, noodle texture was perfect (order the thick noodles for that extra chew). Ramen egg was a little on the sweet side, needs slightly more salt in the marination, not a big issue. Great overall bowl of ramen!

First time visiting. We ordered Garlic shoyu & the Red Dragon. My partner LOVES spice & he found that the Red Dragon was not spicy enough however, when he advised the staff they graciously offered more chilli to spice it up. I had the garlic ramen & found the garlic flavour to be faint & predominantly salty.
