One of the NEW hidden gems for Japanese good eats in my hood. Issai Japanese Eatery is a takeout spot for ramen, donburi, snacks, and drinks. There are only 3+2 bar seating available for dine-in, but mainly for takeouts. We have been back a couple times, and we really enjoyed the experience. The food presentation looks amazing, and the friendly lady who works there spoke Cantonese :) Can't wait to visit again to try more items ^^ Tomato Curry Ramen w/ Teishoku Set // Spicy good, ramen was delicious, the set comes with pickled radish and 2pcs of inari sushi Housemade Gyoza // It was beautifully pan-seared, nice and plump, perfectly wrapped, and delicious! Issai Sesame Abura Soba // Served dry with a light sauce on the bottom, mix well before you eat... don't be like me, I waited too to eat it, and the noodle dried up lol. Housemade Siumai // Good portion and good flavour, though I'm not a huge fan of fatty pork, but to some people, the siumai may taste soft and juicy! Niku Udon // Loved the broth, comes with thinnly sliced beef, and the udon was nice and chewy :) Kitsune Udon // The broth was a little sweeter because of the sweet tofu skin, still enjoyable!

Great neighbourhood Eatery. They have 5 casual dine in seats if you're looking for a quick bite. I had the Niku Beef Udon with Chashu Rice Bowl. It tasted amazing! The broth in the udon was really good. The portion size was also very good. I will be back to try more.

Having dinner here was very good.? The restaurant was clean. Mostly for take-out orders but it was nice to have food there. I do recommend a udon and tacoyaki. A ramen is also good! Thank you for good service. :)

Super cute little place with fast & lovely service!! Ramen is very delicious - signature is their Kyoto curry ramen but tonkatsu also yummy! Portion size is on the smaller end of ramen restaurants but still decent. Bonus is their selection of Japanese beverages.

The ramen in this shop is good. However, the Katsudon is very average becuase its chicken is hard and tastes dry. Moreover, there is no juice penetrated into the rice, the rice is tasteless.Overall, this restaurant seems to be designed for takeout, with less space inside for customers to dine in.
My wife and I came in to get take out! The food was great and still piping hot after bring it home. The takoyaki deal is really worth it.
