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.

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.

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.

I was actually expecting a good authentic taste of Japanese food since they're serving Japanese food for 25years. But I'm sorry I can say that it's just a usual restaurant. The batter of the tempura is not that crunchy and the sauce tastes sweet. Their gyoza has a lot of cabbage inside. Lover yasai tame is also dry and hard.

Another joint along the Arnaiz strip besides, Nihonbashitei, that one must try. I had one of those really good meals after a night of drinkin and cooking through the Teppanyaki grill makes it more appetizing. From their Australian beef, okonomiyaki, t their set meals complete with salad, miso soup and dessert , you can never go wrong and I'm looking forward to more meals here.

Typical Japanese Comfort Food. Isshin has been there for the longest time I can remember. If you are not picky about ambiance and authentic dishes this is for you. Not too pricey for typical Japanese resto. Sashimi servings are just right. Their seafood ramen warms you up on rainy days. They have tepanyaki on the other side of the place.

I usually get a Gyoza and Chahan at every Japanese Resto I eat at. The Gyoza and Chahan here is not satisfactory, I keep thinking this is ready-made frozen gyoza and they don't have ready made sauce for Gyoza, the Chahan is also too sticky. The review is purely for the Gyoza and Chahan, service and ambiance were ok.

Isshin and I go way back, I mean way back. I am talking about decades. Close to 30 years, I cant remember exactly, but surely at least 25 years. Before it was in its current location, a stone throw away from the then new, New World Hotel. Back then it had a different name and it was Shogun. Despite its rename and relocation, it always felt familiar to me. Even up till this day, some of the staff and owners call me by my first name.This was the restaurant in which my expansion and adventure into other Japanese dishes grew. Of course, a majority of us kids have the ebi tempura as our first Japanese dish. My intro into a few things and love for them started here. From unagi, ramen, okonomiyaki, salmon sashimi, etc—my love at first bite started here.I don’t remember when it started, but then my usual dish that I would order became the Chirashidon (special or not), with an order of salmon sashimi. I love the chirashidon, and the one at Isshin is great in size, variety and price. I really love the denbu (pink sugar thing) on top as it is a generous amount. Now I know that some of you might be wondering why order salmon sashimi, when there is such a variety of sashimi in the chirashi. Well, it doesn’t come with salmon, so I order it as I totally love salmon sashimi. It is probably my fave among all sashimis. The sushi rice in the dish is wonderful too. Fluffy and I can taste the tangy vinegar.Other dishes that are the must try are: sukiyaki, Isshin Special ramen, gindara, unajudon, and their selection of fried rice. And when their teppanyaki section is open, it’s a great place to sit there, watch food get cooked in front of you with a group of friends, family.Family… I remember eating out here almost everyday with my mom her work. The memories… :)Price: 5.0 – Quite affordable. Portions are generous and mostly even good for sharing.Ambience: 5.0 – Cozy, quaint place. Like and old fashioned Japanese place.Service: 5.0 – The food come pretty quick. Staff is friendly. The owners, when there will even sometimes even go around and chat with customers, asking how everything is.Isshin might not look like much as compared to the modern, new or big Japanese restaurants. I can guarantee that it’s really good and the real authentic deal. The number of Japanese customers that come should be a sign. I believe some of them come from Dusit Thani Hotel across the street. And if you want Japanese food after midnight, having cravings, Isshin is the place. They close at 3AM!Now, I’m craving. Should I make a phone call for a pickup order?
