Great Find during lock down. Have been meaning to try this place for many years now. All of a sudden it appeared in GrabFood. Excellent quality and value
The best place for after party or late night dinner. The food are the best. We tried sukiyaki, i forgot the name of other ramen, gyoza and tea. I've been here many times but their good service is consistent. We got free ice cream the first time, and still got free ice cream every time we go back. A certain waitress is also jolly.
Kudos for the clean toilet. We love clean toilets~
I’ve always eaten inside the malls near this place so it was my first time here. And I’m definitely eating here again to try out the other dishes.
What I really love about restaurants - great customer service. They were really packed at that time but everyone tried their best to accommodate all incoming guests with a smile, no hint of frustration. I saw an old lady and old man accompanying the customers (guessing they’re the owner), busting out the tables, and checking out orders. What a delightful sight. The staff were all busy but they were doing the best they can.
The served affordable, authentic Japanese food. Only got to try 2 dishes but both were tasty. I believe the restaurant offers a lot of dishes and it’d be good to try all of those with friends.
They are open until around 2-3am. A place you can go to when the mall’s closed and you’re hungry.
Small Japanese restaurant with authentic ambience. Order their Kobe Beef Teppanyaki but I don’t feel anything special, either taste or presentation, for 2,400 peso menu.
Our other order kani salad, california roll and salmon cheese are okay with decent price.
This place was just recommended by a friend of mine, other than that, I have never seen nor heard of this place before. It was a good thing that I tried Isshin and it easily became one of my favorite affordable and authentic Japanese restaurant. They have a room were you can sit on the floor while eating, it makes the experience more authentic.
They do not have Spicy Tuna Salad in their menu and they asked the chef if he can make it and he obliged, and it was good (just added a few more of Togarashi).
The gyoza is plump and filling, a must order for me.
The chahan tasted authentic and similar to my long-time favorite restaurant.
Since we used to live in Sanlo way back years ago, I've been to this place couple of times already. These pictures I posting now though were during my very recent visit here.
We used to enjoy the Japanese food here. It used to be okay that's why we come back here for more. But since many Japanese restos are nowadays opening within Metro Manila, paying customers like us have a wide option to choose from. The Isshin's competitors especially those modern ones and more affordable than what they have here are what people look for these days.
I enjoyed the Tuna Salad and Salmon Sashimi during our last visit though.

We've all been spoiled by the rich, highly seasoned tonkotsu/hakata designer ramen bowls, so it might seem, in comparison, that Isshin isn't all that. They've simplified their menu and scaled down prices against their competitors. Parking is not the easiest, service not the fastest, yet there's something to say about their staying power.
I could be mistaken, but along the Pasay Road/Arnaiz st all the way up to Mile Long/Amorsolo, this may now be the Japanese resto, together with Sakura, maybe Kikufuji, and maybe Seryna. After an all-nighter lay outing and editing, friends and I would come here or to Ramen Tei nearby (it's no longer there), and get the largest bowls of ramen I'd ever seen; I believe they still serve the largest ramen bowls in town.
I like their stir-fried Yakiudon and their agedashi tofu, if I'm not after one of their bento boxes. They also serve cold buckwheat noodles with a dipping sauce (zarusoba), refreshing on a hot day. The gomokumen and corn/corn butter ramen are a decent meal, bearing in mind what one is paying.
Fond memory of this place :) many years ago, I received my first ever backpay, after which I bought my first cellphone using my own money! To celebrate, I wandered around Park Square and found this place. Also my first time to eat in a resto by myself! The staff were so nice, making sure I was served well. I ordered Katsudon and remember being blown away. I couldn’t afford authentic Japanese food before, so tasting it made me so happy 😭☺️ i remember the warmth and the juicyness and the niceness of the staff. Hoping to come back soon :)
A quick fix for Ramen cravings without spending too much. The Sake is so subtle. It matches my Tantanmen. So had to finish the entire bottle by myself and I didn’t mind. :)
Very traditional and budget friendly.
The atmosphere is just like a cusual dining in a run down street in Tokyo.
The food choices are vast and the servings are large but very affordable.
