Ramen Isshin is widely praised for a rich, comforting broth and chewy noodles, with bowls described as flavorful and satisfying and toppings fresh. The service and atmosphere are often highlighted as friendly and efficient, able to handle busy crowds while staying clean and cozy. Standout orders like spicy and red miso ramen earn strong recommendations, and portions are generally generous with good value, though a few reviewers find prices high or some bowls uneven. Some criticism points to an overpowering garlic oil, broth that can taste bitter when altered, and occasional notes of small meat portions. Overall, the reviews present Ramen Isshin as a reliable, popular ramen spot with vegetarian options and a range of flavors, though experiences can vary and it may not be the absolute best in the city.
I would give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars. It's a decent ramen spot overall, but nothing particularly extraordinary stands out about it. The broth was flavorful enough & comforting, especially on a cold day, but it didn't have the deep richness or complexity that makes a bowl truly memorable. The noodles were cooked properly with a good texture, though fairly standard compared to other ramen places in Montreal. This is the first time I had ramen with mung bean sprouts.
The toppings were fresh & well-prepared, but again, pretty typical-nothing that elevated the bowl. Service was friendly & efficient, which definitely added to the positive aspects of the experience. Overall, it's a reliable option if you're craving ramen in Verdun.
Pretty good ramen spot! The broth was flavorful & the noodles had a nice texture. Portion size was decent, & the service was friendly & quick. The place can get busy, so sometimes there's a short wait. They have good options for vegan!

I've recently visited Isshin Ramen Verdun & it was a truly outstanding experience from start to finish. The ramen broth was rich, comforting, & perfectly seasoned. The noodles had a great chew & texture, & the toppings-especially the tender chashu & the runny soft?boiled egg-were fresh & flavorful.
The service was warm & attentive, & the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. They were able to handle a full house efficiently, & the wait time was reasonable even during a busy dinner rush. Portion sizes are generous, & the price is well worth it.
Five stars for cleanliness, friendly staff, & a menu with great variety-including vegetarian options. I'm already planning my next visit & recommend this place to ramen lovers in the Verdun area.
I love ramen, & I've been visiting a lot of places in the city. When I first saw this new place near my house, I had to visit it. & boy, no disappointment. I tried a different version the ramen that is not offered in the most of the places, & I loved the tsukemen. My wife tried the vegetarian option, & it was one of the best vegetarian dishes that we tried so far. I highly recommend this place if you are a ramen lover like me.
Best Ramen i've ever has! Great customer service, the chef even came to ask us if it was good. Also, my mom said the vegetarian options are incredible!
