Ramen Isshin

Ramen is good specially the Kotteri Rich Shoyu Ramen & the Kotteri roasted garlic. Bouncy noodles with rich pork-based soup. Loved the Age Tofu & seafood okonomiyaki. I gave only 4 stars as it is a little bit higher in terms of price compared to other ramen places in Montreal.

Seats are limited & paid street parking only.

Ce que j'ai goûté est très bon, mais je trouve les prix exagérés. Le menu donne envie… mais trop cher. Une bière Sapporo: 9,95 plus taxe, plus pourboire, revient au prix de quatre bouteilles en épicerie. Je donne cela comme exemple car tout le monde peut comprendre la comparaison. Quatre petit morceaux de « pork Gyoza » (une entrée peu copieuse; sur la photo) a 9,50$ & un pouding à la mangue (6,50$). En fait j'avais commandé autre chose qui me semblait appétissant mais on m'annonce quelques minutes plus tard, qu'il n'y en a plus. Étonnant!

Je suis allée sur la terrasse vers 16h30 17h je voulais juste grignoter quelque chose & boire une bière car j'avais beaucoup marché (plus d'une heure à pas vif & même chose au retour)

Étonnée aussi qu'on m'incite, sur la facture, à donner jusqu'à 18% de pourboire… sur la terrasse! Cela ne m'incite pas à revenir.
De plus en plus de restaurants n'exigent plus de pourboire. Il y a de très bons articles à ce sujet.

The food is alright, what I mean is that it is more or less on par with the rest of ramen restaurants out there but is grossly overpriced... Off the bat, their soup is roughly $5 (~20%) more than Kinton & other competitors out there & they gave you 2 slices of pork that's PAPER THIN. The broth is not particularly impactful/memorable either, is average. I tried Isshin a couple years ago in Ottawa & it was good & I gave it a 5 stars, but it wasn't $22/bowl with barely any ingredients in there, it was literally 2 thin slices, a bit of ground pork & some bean sprouts, not even a sheet of seaweed. For context, at the time of typing this, you can get a spicy ramen combo with gyoza & coke at Kinton for the same price. The "seafood" pancake is also disappointing, mushy & tiny, barely any seafood in there, very salty too. Overall, in terms of taste it is OK, in terms of value I won't be coming back.

Had high hopes for this new restaurant but was sadly disappointed. We did not receive part of our order & I asked for another sauce for my gyoza but it never came. Service wasn't very active & we were never asked how our food was. My dish with rice & fried chicken(maybe pork?) Was bland & dry. The Ramen may be good but I won't be back to try it.

Really decent shoyu ramen. I found the broth to be a bit less flavourful than I prefer, & the chashu pork was on the thin end of the spectrum. Noodles were on point. The egg's texture was good but it tasted a bit sweet for some reason. I'll probably return to try more of their menu.

Very satisfied with the overall dine-in experience we had at Ramen Isshin Verdun! We ordered the Pork Gyoza & Korokke. Both plates had the right amount of crunch, the flavor was good & the pork in the gyoza was juicy. As for ramen we ordered the Red Dragon & the Spicy Shio with White Sesame. The broths were packed with flavor & really rich. The ramen noodles were perfectly chewy & the amount was good for the quantity of broth. The Red Dragon is really for the spicy lovers, it hits the right spot for a good spicy craving! For the price (approx. 18-22$/bowl) the portions are generous! Service is fast & good. The people that work there are kind & they patiently answered our questions. We will definitely come back to taste more from the menu :)
