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.

You are immediately greeted at the front door & told to sit anywhere you like. As it was my first time, the waitress took the time to explain the whole menu to me. Small alterations request to the dish were accepted without a problem. I chose the Red Ramen & it was delicious. The broth was extremely flavourful & the Ramen noodles were tasty & chewy without being bloating or too filling. I finished with a beautiful decorated mango mochi dessert. The atmosphere was cozy in a modern quick diner environment. Very high quality ingredients & service attention.

I recently visited Ramen Isshin in Montreal, & while our server was friendly & attentive, our overall experience was marred by the kitchen staff's handling of our concerns. Initially, we were greeted by a server who was pleasant & accommodating. However, when the kitchen staff member came out to take our order, his demeanor was abrupt & unwelcoming. Our meal began with edamame that was overly salted, but we chose not to complain at that point. When the ramen arrived, we quickly realized that it was also excessively salty, making it difficult to enjoy. We hesitated to mention it, but ultimately decided to inform our server, who was understanding & assured us she would communicate our feedback to the kitchen. Unfortunately, the response from the kitchen staff was less than professional. The same individual returned, displaying a confrontational attitude, stating that we should have indicated our preference beforehand & that he wouldn't modify the dish in the future. This left us confused, as it was our first visit, & we had no way of knowing the food's saltiness. When the remade bowls arrived, we were disappointed to find that they were not full & seemed to be a reduced portion, presumably based on the assumption that we had consumed some of the original bowls. Additionally, the quality of the ramen did not improve, remaining mediocre at best. In summary, while the service from our server was commendable, the kitchen's response to our feedback was unprofessional, detracting significantly from our dining experience. I hope they can address these issues, as the concept has potential.
