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.

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!

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

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 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!! 🥰🥰🥰

The broth is exceptional. Noodles were just the right amount chewiness.

Highly recommend!

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.

I absolutely loved this place. The vibe was great, the choice of music definitely added to the atmosphere & was most enjoyable. Onto the essence of a good restaurant, the food. It was incredible! I had the takoyaki & vegetarian shoyu noodles, each was packed with a rich flavor & filling portion. I'd say the price to quality ratio was most agreeable, & the customer service received by the waitress was very good, she was kind & explained the menu in a very clear way. There was also a man in the staff with a very cool legen of Zelda korok tattoo (from windwaker) which was a plus lol. All in all a great restaurant for Japanese food.

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.
