Come to the next Harbord Village monthly meal: Wed. Jan. 21, 11:30am, at Ramen Isshin, 421 College, east of Bathurst.
This is one of the most popular ramen shops in the city. If you are not familiar with ramen, here is their own description: “Our signature Ramen is our Wok Fried Red Miso Ramen. Every bowl starts in the wok. A generous handful of veggies mixed with our signature blend of red & white miso, sake and other seasonings are fired up. Tonkotsu broth is added and brought to a piping hot temperature, this is then poured over a fresh bed of noodles. This process melds all the flavours perfectly together to give it that unique Isshin taste.” Ramen Isshin has a diverse array of offerings including many vegetarian dishes.
Their shop is so popular that Ramen Isshin doesn’t accept reservations. To enjoy a delicious lunch while meeting your neighbours, arrive at the 11:30am opening time. That’s the only guarantee that you will get a seat. Please RSVP to monthlydiners@harbordvillage.com so we can let the staff know how many people will be coming.
You are welcome to encourage friends to join our email list by contacting Jordan at monthlydiners@harbordvillage.com to hear about events in advance.
