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.

I tried their Red Dragon ramen, pretty good, very strong flavor, borderline too salty. The spiciness is just about right (actually not that spicy, though I can eat fairly spicy).

The soup temperature wasn't hot enough. 😩
The pork slices they gave were also a bit on the small side...

Un petit ramen avec des bouillons variés pour tous les goûts.
Une saveur rafraîchissante par rapport aux ramens de grandes chaînes qui ont perdues mon appréciation.
Rapport qualité-prix pas mauvais, c’est mon nouveau ramen « cantine » sur le plateau.

For me it’s just very average. Prices are good & the staff is nice but the food is not incredible. I wouldn’t go back.

The broth is fine, the noodles are fine, but the chashu was undercooked, the fat not rendered, which is a huge miss. The restaurant service is lackluster & the food takes more time to arrive than I would have liked. It seems they spend a lot of time doing online orders for delivery & the constant traffic of delivery people is a bit annoying. They have no menu, using qr code only, & for some reason they give it to us on a piece of receipt paper? They can't even put a sticker on the table or something? Then they have the gall to put 18% as the minimum tip on the machine. Come on guys, do you seriously want that 3% so bad you'll pressure people into it? Somehow only the restaurants with minimal service try to pull that one, go figure.

Overall not worth it for a sit down experience, as the ramen was subpar. Few toppings, bad chashu. Just go to sansotei next door, they'll actually give you a menu.

Glad to see some vegan options - all their vegetarian ramens can be made vegan by subbing for kale noodles at an extra charge. I got the veg shoyu ramen. Not the best ramen I've ever had, but decent. Rich, flavorful broth. Decent portion size (not too large). Toppings were a bit sparse. Service was quick & efficient.

La première d'une longue série de fois :) Laissez-vous tenter & savourez leurs nombreux ramens au choix ! Très bonne écoute & énergie chez Sammy, avec sa bonhomie, on devine facilement son large sourire (même avec le masque😜) Bonne exploitation de l'espace, belle ambiance fidèle à l'esprit ramen & le goût y est bien évidement
