I visited Ramen Isshin after hearing about it at a Yelp event. The restaurant is inconspicuously located in a corner in one of the plazas in front of Vaughn Mills Mall. The restaurant has multiple tables inside but also has a patio. You can always find seating.
On this day, I decided to order the red dragon miso ramen. The wait staff was kind enough to recommend getting the spices on the side so that I can adjust the spice level. The spices include a red chili sauce and red and green chili peppers. The ramen broth is extremely hearty and reminds me of what I'm looking for in comfort food. There are so many ingredients that work well with the broth, including ground pork, wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, and green onions. The noodles are perfectly al dente. The soft boiled marinated egg is perfect. I love the way that the yolk is not too runny. Finally, the pork belly is tender and soft.
The food is excellent and the service is superb. I'll definitely come back. read more
