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.
First off the service is very warm, our server explained the menu very thoroughly:)
I took the red spicy miso & my partner took the red dragon, both ramen were rich in flavour & the noodles were perfectly chewy, honestly felt like a breath of fresh air finally trying some good ramen in the area, I would say its one of the best restaurants on Wellington!! Definitely worth it & we will be coming back
Very happy to have a good ramen chain in my neighborhood.
Efficient service, we got our orders in & served promptly.
I tried the tan tan, my friend the extra spicy ramen. Both had a good amount of spicyness, & the broth was tasty. Noodles were good, but you could tell they weren't made in-house, but few places in town can boast this.
Prices are typical, about 20$ a bowl.
Atmosphere is fine, we arrived early so it wasn't too crowded.
Will definitely return.

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.
We ordered spicy red miso ramen & tantan ramen. The ingredients were fresh they gave generous portions. I especially loved the tantan ramen. It's nutty & rich.
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 $22/bowl with barely any ingredients in there, it was literally 2 thin slices, a bit of ground pork & some bean sprouts, not even a sheet of seaweed. For context, at the time of typing this, you can get a spicy ramen combo with gyoza & coke at Kinton for the same price. The "seafood" pancake is also disappointing, mushy & tiny, barely any seafood in there, very salty too. Overall, in terms of taste it is OK, in terms of value I won't be coming back.
Delicious ramen! I typically find ramen too heavy or greasy but none of that here. The soups were flavorful & complex. I got the red miso spicy soup & it was incredible. I will definitely be back!
Very satisfied with the overall dine-in experience we had at Ramen Isshin Verdun! We ordered the Pork Gyoza & Korokke. Both plates had the right amount of crunch, the flavor was good & the pork in the gyoza was juicy. As for ramen we ordered the Red Dragon & the Spicy Shio with White Sesame. The broths were packed with flavor & really rich. The ramen noodles were perfectly chewy & the amount was good for the quantity of broth. The Red Dragon is really for the spicy lovers, it hits the right spot for a good spicy craving! For the price (approx. 18-22$/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 :)
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!
