Hands down the best ramen I've had in Ottawa. I've tried Sansotei, Kinton, Jinsei, Koichi, and Kuiadore, and none come close to topping Isshin. The spicy vegetarian ramen is to die for. I wish they accepted reservations, as they are (understandably) quite popular and this can lead to longer wait times for a table.

Great place, rediscovered how awesome tsukemen ramens are. We were chasing our souvenir from eating Tsukemen from Kyoto and were not disappointed by these. Highly recommend.

The quality of the ramen and broth profiles are top notch. All their options are well worth trying. The staff team is wonderful. Love this place.

The tsukemen really hit the spot and it was comparable to our travels to Japan. The roasted garlic shoyu ramen was very good but it wasn’tthe best I have had. Just very happy that Ottawa has a couple of authentic ramen destinations, this one included amongst the top 3 in my opinion. Service was courteous and friendly. Restaurant is kid friendly with appropriate cutlery.
The only thing I would critique is the pricing for additional toppings. The meals are quite pricey to start and something as basic as sesame seeds should be included like typical ramen locations. Traditionally, a jar of sesame seeds, chili powder and vinegar are available on the table. For the price of the ramen, these toppings could easily be included and further increase the dine-in experience without feeling nickel and dimed. Overall still a 5 star experience for food taste and service.

This ramen was absolutely a perfect touch to our evening after spending our day snowshoeing. Great taste, dense portion and excellent presentation. We ordered Red Miso and Garlic Shoyu with gyoza. Restaurant was very clean to include the bathroom. Filled up quick, but they sat everyone down with good time. We’ll definitely come back.

Food is great and they play J-pop inside. We went and ordered extras to bring home but forgot about it when we got checked out by another waiter and left. Another waiter ran out and across Bank as we were walking to the car. She had our takeout in hand. Absolutely great service!
I probably ate the best ramen in Ottawa when we went here. The noodles are perfectly cooked, it’s chewy as it should be. The broth is sooo rich, probably taken them hours to prepare. We have tried the raw octopus tentacles too and it pairs well with the beer. We wanted to try out other dishes but we got so full that we can’t 😂 but we’re already looking forward to our next visit.
Amazing place. The Glebe became the best place in Ottawa for a nice walk on the weekends and evening. I feel safe and I like the atmosphere. Tried this place for lunch and it might have been best Ramen I ever had.
