Ramen Isshin means One Heart One Ramen. Bringing you true authentic Ramen to the city of Toronto. Our happiness is your happiness & we always want to make you smile.
We offer a variety of bowls that are very unique in flavours, textures and taste. We want you to have our "Isshin" experience and leave satisfied & always smiling!
Our signature Ramen is our Wok Fried Red Miso Ramen. Every bowl starts in the wok. A generous handful of veggies mixed with our signature blend of red & white miso, sake and other seasonings are fired up. Tonkotsu broth is added and brought to a piping hot temperature, this is then poured over a fresh bed of noodles. This process melds all the flavours perfectly together to give it that unique Isshin taste.
Offering exotic Ramen's like Tsukemen aka Dipping Ramen, our famous Black Sesame Tan Tan Noodle and our White Sesame Shio Ramen is what also set's us apart from the other shops in town.
We also pride ourselves also on our large selection of Vegetarian Ramens as well as our awesomeappetizer list.
Ramen Isshin is described as a clean, modern, welcoming spot with ample parking and attentive service. The broths are praised for richness and depth, with the red dragon and spicy miso among the standouts and solid shoyu and kotteri options noted. Noodles are described as hearty and handmade, and portions are generous, with a variety of toppings and sides such as gyoza, takoyaki, and karaage. The staff are repeatedly noted as friendly and helpful, providing clear menu explanations and recommendations for both families and date nights. The menu offers flexibility to request less salty broth and includes vegetarian options. While a few comments mention saltiness or value considerations, the overall sentiment is that Ramen Isshin delivers high quality ramen and a consistently positive experience. Many reviews call it a standout ramen spot in the West Island or Montreal and a new favorite.
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.

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.

I had the red miso ramen. The broth itself was wonderful, very rich, & almost silky on the tongue. I crave broth like this on cold snowy days. The noodles were good, but I've had better, it lacks springiness when you bite into them. It does come with a nice heaping of toppings. I also ordered the gyozas, which were perfect appetizers.
As a person that doesn't really enjoy Ramen, i found myself wanting more after a whole bowl here. Their ramen is great, made a non ramen lover enjoy ramen.
With some great help from our waitress with the red hair, we were able to order to our taste. She let us know that Ishin Ramen's broth style is traditionally meant to be salty & that if we ever preferred it to be less salty, we could always ask her, luckily we love salt so this step wasnt needed.
Great place to gather & eat for the upcoming winter season. Very comforting broth & ramen noodles. Definitely go give it a try if you enjoy hot warm soups.
Estelle was very welcoming & kind as to give us suggestions & letting us know which dishes suited our tastes better!
Came here with my partner a few weeks back. We ordered from the vegetarian options, the shoyu. Overall the taste was alright, nothing crazy, the broth was too salty, & it was overpriced. It must be amongst the most expensive ramen shops in Montreal, but I guess people in the west island don't have much of a choice. The waitress with red hair was very pushy & pressured us to leave a Google positive review, which discredits all the 5 star reviews on this page.

Absolutely delicious! My new favourite ramen place. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. They just opened, so there are a few items that were not available, but everything we had was great. The gyoza were light & fluffy, the seafood pancake was good, but I prefer the octopus balls!
As a main, i had the roasted garlic ramen. The broth was delicious, portion was generous, I came hungry, left full & satisfied.
Will be back soon. The Grand opening is November 22, & they are having a 50% off any ramen as a promotion.
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!
