I have eaten here twice in the past week. I can't get enough! Finally a great ramen joint that I can access from the path, now it's easy to cure my lunch time ramen cravings.
I must admit that I had never heard of Isshin prior to visiting the Assembly hall. But am I ever glad that it found its way into my life. My first visit I ordered the rich shoyu ramen, which has the addition of pork belly fat to the broth. The broth was rich and flavourful, just what I needed for an extremely cold day. The pork belly was tender, I just wish there was more than two thin pieces. On my second visit I ordered the white sesame shio ramen. The broth was much lighter in both texture and taste. I also really liked the addition of mushrooms and bamboo shoots.
Overall Isshin serves a tasty bowl of ramen! The noodles are thin and have a great chew to them. The broth is flavourful and the pork is tender. I hope they start to bring some of the other selections from their College location to Assembly for us to try.
