Ramen Isshin

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.

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.

Tried a very interesting type of ramen - cross bridge ramen, well I named it because it looked like cross bridge noodles in the Chinese version. I liked the food & service there with only one comment - it'd be great if you could accommodate clients' needs like less sodium, less oil. They couldn't because they said the broths were premade.

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.

Broth too salty, too oily

The red miso broth is quite tasty with its spices. Nice atmosphere with J-pop playing inside. Overall a nice experience.

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 :)
