Ramen is a staple for me during the winter, so naturally I had to add Ramen Isshin to my list.
I'm a Shio ramen kind of gal, but when I flipped open their menu and saw their Spicy Red Miso Ramen... My loyalty faltered and I knew exactly what I needed to get in order to warm me up from the winter blues.
The noodles here are pretty good, nice and chewy. Definitely could be spicier, but they happily provide you with more chili oil if you need. I was intimidated of the Red Dragon Ramen at first (looked hella spicy), but the Spicy Red Miso was mild enough to make me curious about whether the Red Dragon was even bad at all.
I know a bowl of ramen has me hooked if it makes me want to pour the remaining broth into a cup and drink it ('cause I'm so classy, right?) - but Ramen Isshin's broth didn't really blow my mind.
We also got the fried chicken to start, which was nothing crazy special in my opinion. Guu's Karaage will still forever be #1 in my books.
Will I come back? Yea, for sure. Noodles are still up to par and the line-ups don't seem as bad compared to the other ramen places in Toronto. Plus, I'd like to challenge that Red Dragon next time! And the Tsukumen. I hear that's definitely worth a try!
