Master Critic Review

Isshin Ramen & Boba 7.7
Hollywood
A compact ramen-and-boba spot that’s become a local favorite for customizable bowls and friendly, low-stress service. Broths skew lighter and cleaner than the heavy tonkotsu houses, and the menu’s snackable sides pair well with tea drinks. It’s a simple, dependable neighborhood option with an easygoing feel.
Must-Try Dishes: Tan Tan Ramen, Tonkotsu Ramen with Chicken Karaage, Chicken Miso Ramen (Spicy)
