Our menu was designed & developed by our Executive Chef Koji Zenimaru. We hope you enjoy his offerings created from his personal experiences, life and travels throughout Japan. Ramen Isshin presents you our true authentic tastes of Ramen.
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.
Bonne soupe, mais pour le prix, elle est très petite, la soupe contenait 1/2 oeuf ? & très peu de poulet, pour 18,95 avant taxes très dispendieux , rapport qualité prix pas là malheureusement

I have been a regular at this location of Ramen Isshin on Wellington street for about a year now & all I could tell you is that they are the best ramen place I have tried in Montreal. Their ramen is always flavorful & fresh. As an Asian who grew up in Asia, I could tell that everything is homemade with my first bite of the noodles & sip of the soup. They are also always launching a new article to make the experience more interesting to their customers. My latest best is their MATCHA KAKIGORI (A SHAVED ICE OR A BINGSU). OH MY GOD, it's really refreshing & addictive. It's a must try, especially during the hot days of summer. You won't regret it. The server Betul went above & beyond to accommodate my order by making a new kakigori base on the spot when they ran out of it that day. All that being said, you won't regret going there because they got the best food & service in town!! 🥰🥰🥰
Très bonnes soupes japonaises de type Ramen (dont plusieurs végétariennes). Celle que j'ai commandé était trop épicé (dragon rouge 🌶?🌶?🌶?).
Beaucoup de monde aux heures de pointe car très populaire & resto plutôt petit. Heureusement la rotation des tables est rapide. Pas fait pour s'attarder longuement lorsque notre assiette est terminée.
Ambiance chaleureuse & agréable.
Bon choix de bières japonaises dont la Ippon, Sapporo & Asahi.
Tout le personnel est efficace, dévoué, bilingue, souriant & sympa (& plutôt joli).
Troisième succursale au Québec. l'Ontario en compte déjà quelques unes.
Longue vie & félicitations 🥳!
Amazing spicy ramen bowl & mango dessert. The ramen bowls are filling enough so in my opinion ordering an appetizer was more than we needed. In this case we were two people & we both agreed the soups would suffice. Excellent job & great service too.
Very cute very busy small ramen place in Verdun. Most nights you will have to queue to be able to get a table. The food is really good. Very rich broth full with flavor but can be more generous when it comes to the protein portion. 2 pieces of sliced porc was not enough for my big appetite. I ordered the red dragon miso ramen & the garlic sesame veggie ramen. The chicken karaage was also really good but took a long time to come which made our soups take more time as well.

Fantastic selection of vegetarian ramen! A very convincing vegetarian substitute for tonkotsu soup, the spicy miso ramen was delicious. I wish other ramen places get inspired & create more variety of vegetarian & vegan ramen!
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.
I will put side of the taste, I feel little uncomfortable with how they working. there was only me as a customer at the inside & staff taking break time sit in the counter table & talking. It's okay to have a conversation but talking about unrelated things little bit loudly. never checked the glass of water, that mean not taking care of the customer in restaurant industry. it's okay to have fun in work but need to be more careful when they are at the front house where customer can see them. Tukemen soup was less rich than the usual taste that I had before

Delicious ramen! I typically find ramen too heavy or greasy but none of that here. The soups were flavorful & complex. I got the red miso spicy soup & it was incredible. I will definitely be back!
I've been to Ramen Isshin before but never wrote a review so this is me inaugurating the new Ramen Isshin/Nikolai era. This trip I decided to not pair my ginger ale with ramen but instead a rice based dish. The dish was still a banger sans soup & we love this chain's diverse dish range. This place is real nice & a complete 180 from the scary burger place that used to be at this address. Will be coming back for sure 🍚
Really tasty ramen! Such a rich bouillon. I went there with my family, & the welcome was great! They have a big variety of drinks & meals. We ordered the seafood pancake, it was delicious. & the miso ramen with the egg in extra you can't forget. The ramen are very well done. The eggs are something different. They are really really good, with the spicy miso soupe, it was very great. & you can't forget as well about the delicious mochi. The staff is nice, present to answer any questions you have. We felt very welcomed there! Will go back for sure!
