Ramen Isshin

April 04, 2015

 By far the most plainly decorated ramen restaurant I've been to, but the food was good. Easy to miss the storefront - on College just before Bathurst if you are coming from the east.

Karaage - 3 large pieces of crispy, juicy chicken. I really liked this even without the mayo! 
Hint of spice & black sesame in the breading 


White Sesame Shio 
- grind your own sesame provides a bit of fun, a bit of flavor in the first bite but otherwise not much sesame flavor
- thin, firm noodles - good. to me, they taste the same as the thick ones in the Black Sesame Tan Tan 
- half a soft-boiled egg was okay, could be softer with more flavor 
- cha siu - thin and tender, good mix of fat
- broth was relatively light, creamy, smooth, like  a lighter version of tonkotsu. Despite it being sea salt, I didn't find it salty




Black Sesame Tan Tan - broth was bold in meat flavor, saltier, less toppings (no egg)

Green Tea $1 - did not have any taste..... 

Overall: Ramen was good,  relatively light broth, but sesame flavor was slightly underwhelming. Karaage was my favorite!
