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.
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.
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 :)
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 !
Ayant récemment revenu de Toronto & les restaurants là-bas il y en a pleins presque à tous les coins de rues. Les nouilles Ramen là-bas sont excellentes & j'avais envie de retrouver un équivalent à Montréal. L'accès & le stationnement n'est évidemment pas évident avec les rues à sens uniques partout, travaux & les places de stationnement sont rares. Nous sommes allés vers l'heure du midi pensant que ce serait bondé mais heureusement non. Nous avons été bien accueilli immédiatement & diriger à une table. Le menu ce fait via notre téléphone cellulaire en scan le code QR. Nous avons eu l'aide du serveur pour bien choisir notre plat. Les bols arrivent rapidement sur un plateau, je suis agréablement surpris !!!! Tout est bon malgré que j'aurais aimé que ce soit 25% moins salé, je crois que si on pouvait choisir le degré de sel ajouté serait vraiment intéressant. Note négative, la musique pourrait être à un volume plus bas, la musique forte j'aime pas trop. On est obligé de parler plus fort pour rien. Je recommande cet endroit sympathique pour de bonnes nouilles Ramen 🍜 Having recently returned from Toronto & the restaurants there are plentiful on almost every street corner. The Ramen noodles there are excellent & I wanted to find an equivalent in Montreal. Access & parking is obviously not easy with one-way streets everywhere, roadworks & parking spaces are rare. We went around lunchtime thinking it would be crowded but luckily not. We were welcomed immediately & directed to a table. The menu is done via our cell phone by scanning the QR code. We had help from the waiter to choose our dish. The bowls arrive quickly on a tray, I am pleasantly surprised!!!! Everything is good although I would have liked it to be 25% less salty, I think that if we could choose the degree of salt added would be really interesting. Negative note, the music could be at a lower volume, I don't really like loud music. We have to speak louder for nothing. I recommend this nice place for good Ramen noodles 🍜
Nous avons pris le karaage & les dumplings à partager en entrée en plus d'un ramen chacun pour repas. Le miso rouge était super bon, bien assaisonné & le bouillon était goûteux & chaleureux. Les à-côtés à rajouter ne sont également pas hors de prix & rajoutent beaucoup de saveur. Je recommande pour tout ceux qui veulent un bon ramen.
