Ramen Isshin

Established in 2014, the 421 College St location serves as the original flagship of Ramen Isshin in Toronto. The brand is celebrated for its complex broths crafted from imported Japanese red miso and a proprietary spice blend, featuring signature dishes such as the Wok Fried Earthy Red Miso Ramen, Black Garlic Oil Ramen, and an extensive vegetarian selection. The kitchen's hallmark is the traditional wok-frying technique used to sear miso and vegetables, adding a distinct smoky depth to the flavor. Recognized by *Toronto Life* as one of the city's best and a multi-year winner of *NOW Magazine*'s Readers' Choice awards, this location remains a quintessential landmark of Toronto's ramen scene.
