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.

Ordered the Kotteri Shoyu & Chicken Shio for pickup & was really disappointed. Both broths had a strong taste of rancid oil that completely overwhelmed the flavor. I definitely wasn't expecting that, especially given the restaurant's reputation. I paid $55 for what turned out to be a very disappointing meal, & unfortunately, I couldn't finish either bowl. I also ended up with a bad stomachache afterward. 🤢

Wow!
Les bouillons sont goûteux. Tout était délicieux. Gros coup de coeur pour le shio épicé ( pas trop, juste relevé)

I am Japanese & a big fan of ramen, but this place has impressed me the most among all the ramen shops I've tried in Montreal. The type of noodles changes depending on the soup, & they were so firm & tasty that they were delicious even on their own. Today, I had the Miso & Shoyu ramen, but next time, I'll try the Shio ramen as well. I would also like to add that the bright & friendly staff provide excellent service, & you won't hesitate to leave a tip. haha! Their smiles will make your meal even more enjoyable.

Très bonne ambiance, déco à thème, nourriture très savoureuse : shio & miso rouge. Moshi pour dessert. Le personnel est bien à l'écoute. Merci. Nous reviendrons :)

Forgot to take pictures but I was definitely impressed. I've been to Japan so I can give a fair comparison; Isshin has it down. I got the spicy shio & some karaage & it was delicious. Creamy flavourful broth, just spicy enough & just enough perfectly cooked noodles. The karaage were crunchy with nice, big pieces of chicken. Using their app also made it really easy to order & customize the ramen with plenty of choices to pick from. Really excited to have another good ramen in the neighbourhood!

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!

Excelent Ramen. J'ai pris un Shio, le Tan Tan au sésame noir & porc & mon amie un végétarien. Les nouilles kaedama au choux frisé sont aussi intéressante. Une bonne adresse a montréal. Leur gyoza sont bon mais un peu cher pour juste 5 morceaux. Je reviendrai gouter leur nouveauté de ramen froid...
