Checking out other Ramen spots in Toronto, Ramen Isshin hit our list as one of the better ones worth checking out. We decided to brave the frigid cold and walk over here from down town Toronto. After a 30 minute walk in cold weather, we made it and unfortunately ran into a long queue. Thankfully we didn't have to wait outside (like we did at Sansotei).
We ended up getting a spicy miso ramen and achicken karaage don to share. My girlfriend really seemed to like the ramen but I don't share the same sentiment. I thought it was good and certainly better than most places in Philadelphia, but below average when compared to the typical ramen spot in LA. For $16 CAD, I felt as if there wasn't enough meat (two little slices!) and enough noodles. The broth itself lacked the depth I look for in a nice bowl of ramen and I found the items within the bowl itself to be quite lackluster in regards to flavor and texture. The karaage don at $6 CAD seemed to lack at value with one piece of chicken. The texture of the rice and flavor of the dish as a whole were on point though.
Decent experience, not worth the wait IMO. Sansotei would be my go-to if I ever make it back to Toronto.
