Ramen Isshin

Finally tried Isshin Ramen after waiting for them to open, & it was worth it! The place is modern, cozy, & spacious.

Service was impeccable. I finally get to meet the infamous Estelle. She greeted us, explained the ramen options, & gave spot-on recommendations. She really knows her stuff.

Food was one of the closest I've had to ramen in Japan. I'd rate it 4.5/5 but rounded up to 5 because it truly deserves the support. We had the Red Miso Ramen (a little on the sweet side), Tsukemen with its perfect savory broth, plus takoyaki & a small chashu bowl. I also love that they offer a less salty option for those watching their intake.

So happy to finally have a great ramen spot in the West Island. I'll definitely be back!

We tried the classic shoyu & classic shio ramen at Ramen Isshin, & both were absolutely delicious. The broth was rich & full of flavor, the noodles were cooked perfectly, & the meat was fresh & tender. Shoutout to the chef & the entire team, the service truly stood out. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, & kept checking in to make sure we were enjoying our meal. I wish more restaurants had teams like this. Their friendliness & respect made the experience even better. The restaurant itself was super clean. We'll definitely be coming back!

Restaurant was very empty at lunch. Great service. Chicken broth was delicious (& had the perfect salt level). Great noodles too - tried the thick & thin one's. Chicken Karaage was a bit overpriced.

Loved our first visit to Ramen Isshin! The broth of the shoyu was delicious & the pork belly was amazing! The only thing'missing' is homemade noodles. If the noodles were homemade I think Isshin could give Yokobai a serious run for their money. We'll definitely be back!

I ate dinner at Ramen Isshin for the first time last night with my wife & 2 young kids. We might have found our new favourite restaurant!

It's rare that I try a new place & find absolutely nothing to complain about (yeah, I'm like that). Ramen Isshin though...

The place itself is tastefully decorated. It was immaculately clean as well. Even the dishes (plate & bowls) were beautiful & matched the decor.

The service was exceptional. Our server had a genuine smile on her face & gave us a detailed explanation of the menu. She also had a suggestion for the kids that they loved!! I should mention that my kids have a couple of favourite restaurants, but last night they both agreed that this is their new top spot!

I had the Red Dragon ramen. It was the'spicy' option. I would say the heat level was low, but not in a bad way. It just wasn't very'spicy'. However, it was FULL of flavour! The broth was rich & delicious; the noodles were hearty & felt home made, & the meat was tender & delicious. We also tried the raw octopus with wasabi appetizer, which was also very nice. I'm pretty sure I'll eventually try everything on their menu eventually.

Overall, this place is an absolute gem! If I really dig around for a complaint (which is how I roll), I'll say that getting around in that neighbourhood sucks. Can't turn left anywhere. That being said, obviously not their fault & if I weren't so stubborn I could have just used my GPS.

Ramen Isshin. Try it.

Was good but not great. Needs a boost/kick in the broth flavor.

Great new ramen spot in the West Island. We ordered the Assari Shoyu, Spicy Miso, & Takoyaki. Both broths were rich & flavourful, & the Takoyaki was delicious. Portions were generous. Our only comment is that it would be nice if the Spicy Miso also included half a marinated egg, as the Assari Shoyu does, without needing to add it as a top-up. Otherwise, the food, ambiance & service were excellent.
