We offer a variety of bowls that are very unique in flavours, textures and taste. We want you to have our "Isshin" experience and leave satisfied & always smiling!
Our signature Ramen is our Wok Fried Red Miso Ramen. Every bowl starts in the wok. A generous handful of veggies mixed with our signature blend of red & white miso, sake and other seasonings are fired up. Tonkotsu broth is added and brought to a piping hot temperature, this is then poured over a fresh bed of noodles. This process melds all the flavours perfectly together to give it that unique Isshin taste.
Offering exotic Ramen's like Tsukemen aka Dipping Ramen, our famous Black Sesame Tan Tan Noodle and our White Sesame Shio Ramen is what also set's us apart from the other shops in town.
We also pride ourselves also on our large selection of Vegetarian Ramens as well as our awesomeappetizer list.
Ramen Isshin is described as a cozy, welcoming spot with a rich, balanced broth and chewy noodles, offering a broad menu from spicy miso and garlic shoyu to classic tonkotsu plus vegetarian options, with gyoza and karaage as popular accompaniments that many note are excellent; the atmosphere captures an authentic Japanese ramen vibe and the staff are frequently praised for friendly, attentive service and helpful guidance, even when busy, though a few reviews mention occasional slower service or a dish that was a bit salty or the chicken karaage overdone; prices are seen as reasonable for the quality, online ordering is convenient, and the space is described as comfortable and intimate rather than crowded; overall guests express they would return, citing comforting bowls, generous toppings, and a positive, welcoming experience.
First time here & will be coming back! I really enjoyed my Spicy Miso Ramen & I highly recommend getting their gyozas as an appetizer. My husband got the Shoyu Ramen & small chicken Karage bowl & it was delicious too (very crispy) Special thank you to our wonderful server Mimi! Though she was working alone & it was busy, she was still very attentive & gave great recommendations on what to order (as we don't often eat ramen) We were extremely happy with everything we got & appreciated the cozy atmosphere especially with the cold weather.
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!
One of the best ramens in Montreal! We got the Dragon Rouge, Shoyu with pork, & the gyozas to share, & all were delicious. The noodles were perfectly al dente.

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.
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!

Great ramen place in Plateau Mont-Royal. The system of ordering on your phone is perfect for individual dining, but with multiple friends it can be a hassle. I took the Kotteri Shoyu Ramen. The broth was good, but a little bit salty (I know it's suppose to be the rich broth). The noodles weren't good at all. The chashu had a good taste & toppings were well chosen. I also had the karrage chicken, that I would recommend to share with friends.
Stars given for the perfect chewiness level of the noodles, the flavorful broth of veggie spicy miso, & the tasty deep fried chicken karage. I was hesitant between the shio (sea salt) or shoyu (soy sauce) base broth, but ended up with miso & it didn't disappoint. The place on Mont Royal is not big tho, it's ideal for solo eaters or couples. The servers are attentive, they come regularly to check if everything is ok. A flat note of the soirée: they charge $1.50 for literally a spoon of chilli oil 😲
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.
Tried their roasted garlic shoyu, & shio ramen. Overall it was flavourful & good. The egg was nicely marinated & jammy (a bit on the sweet side). Chashu is on the salty side, & could be more tender. One suggestion is that there could be more soup. The soup barely covered the noodles.

We had a friends get together at this awesome Ramen venue & loved it ! By far the best Ramen in Montreal & we particularly loved the broth ❤️ I had the Spicy Vegetarian Miso & it was so delicious & my partner loved his Garlic Shoyu Ramen as well 😊The others had Shio Ramen as well as Spicy Shio & we all loved each bite as it was beyond tasty & very fulfilling. With a great service & perfect venue to bring your friends, I cannot wait to go back & try other items in this 10/10 Ramen place 😍
I was craving some ramen & got myself the garlic shoyu. The broth wasn't too salty & there was just the right amount of garlic oil. The marinated egg was a little sweet & was a nice pairing. It hit the spot!
J'ai essayé 4 restaurants de ramen dernièrement & c'est le ramen le plus décevant. J'ai pris le Shoyu Kotteri : le bouillon est correct, rien de très profond comme goût, la grosse moyenne. Le porc était encore un peu froid, signe qu'il n'avait pas été cuit récemment, texture raide, bon goût mais Sansotei à côté est meilleur. Finalement, garniture minimale : une petite feuille de nori, des oignons verts, & un demi oeuf? Avec taxes & services, ça a monté à $24 donc il y a problème de valeur ici, beaucoup trop cher pour si peu donc je le cote 3 étoiles pour la grosse moyenne. Pas mauvais mais peuvent faire mieux. Service minimal, gauche & désintéressé, pas vraiment sympathique. Atmosphère propre & éclairée, belle décoration intérieure & branding, dommage car produit pas à la hauteur.
