"St. Paul’s Ishita ramen sits on a restaurant-dense stretch of University Avenue. Brick walls, industrial decor, and a decorative wall of soup spoons keep the focus on the food. The crispy chicken ramen features a crunchy breaded cutlet, sliced cabbage, black mushrooms, pickled ginger, green onion, and corn. The char siu broth is flecked with red pepper flakes and spicy chili oil for an extra boost of flavor." - Natalia Mendez, Justine Jones

Vibes were great. Staff was friendly and polite. Food was delicious. The neighborhood was a little sketchy but that’s just a heads up for future patrons.

Always a great experience every time I come here, worth my 2hr drive to go eat. The service is always great, the appetizers were phenomenal as always the chicken Kara age was juicy and well seasoned that sauce was not needed if you didn't want to use it but is great if you did. I usually end up placing a separate order to take home with me.

Beautiful restaurant! Quiet little restaurant with decent food. It had a Dim laid-back atmosphere. I had the seafood ramen and it was decent. Overall a good experience,but I now realize that I would rather have Pho. Next time I come I will try some stir fry ramen or something totally different, the menu looks great

Absolutely amazing! What more can I say? Oh wait. This place serves up the most delicious ramen I've ever had (perfectly seasoned broth, springy noodles, and tender meat) and its appetizer selection is superb. Ishita deserves more than a 4.4 rating, seriously. Do yourself a favor and come here! Oct 2023: what can I say? Place still slaps and we have visited 2 or 3 times since we last reviewed. Niku Soba ramen will always be a fan favorite of mine and the Happy Hour prices can't be beat! Try the sesame oil togarashi cucumber app - so addictive! Or the crab jalapeno poppers! Yum. Only small gripes I had last encounter was a waitress constantly on our tail asking if we were ready for our check and the interior ambience was slightly smokey.

Ordered vegetable ramen. 95% noodles, flavorless. First time, won’t order there again. Was working late and decided to stop in should have went home and made my own.

The food was really good! The Crab Jalapeno is a good starter for an appetizer, can't really get enough of them in my opinion. Pork buns come out fresh and steamy :) Ramen was good, I haven't tried any other ramen places so I'm not sure how to compare and contrast between flavor differences. Our waitresses are always attentive when we dine here.

First time we visited this establishment. We will be back! Ramen was plentiful and delicious, and the atmosphere in the the place was great! Having visited Japan five times now, I will say the tonkatsu Niku Soba I ate was outstanding. A bit sweeter tonkatsu broth than I am used to, but very flavorful! Ramen soba was perfectly cooked. It went so well with the Sapporo biru, LOL. Prices were good. Service was outstanding.

The server was very inexperienced.He didn't know the wifi password nor did he know who to ask. Brought me the wrong meal at 1st then about 20 minutes later brought the correct one. I have never seen fried rice served like this before. I thought the taste was pretty good and the beef spare ribs were amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't think it was a good value.
