Isshin Ramen Bar

Elizabeth Street's cheap-eats ramen bar loved for rich tonkotsu broth and melt-away chashu.

A small, cozy counter-style ramen bar with a recently renovated interior, staff in traditional attire, and a calm, relaxed feel that gets tight and busy during the lunch rush.

Recently renovated dining room, barside counter seating suited to solo diners, a rotating daily-special board, and late opening hours until 10pm.

Reviewers are split. some call it very good authentic Japanese ramen, while others note the kitchen team's broader East Asian background gives dishes a less strictly Japanese profile.

Exceptional value is the most repeated theme, with bowls from around $14.90 and generous portions, though a public holiday surcharge (up to 10%) catches some diners off guard.
