As a huge fan of Ramen noodles, we decided to give this restaurant in downtown Carlisle a try. The selection is decent. And the food quality and taste is good. Was it the best? No, but it definitely hit the spot as the noodles had the correct softness and bite. The spicy tan tan ramen in the photo was definitely the better of the two ramen we ordered. The wait staff was friendly and efficient.

The building is quite small and the seats are a bit tight, but it is a very cozy setting. Their rice dishes and ramen are very flavorful, as well as their appetizers. The katsu chicken was tender but a bit over breaded and the ramen I ordered (i forget which) was a bit too salty for my taste but both still delicious. The bubble tea (the worst past) was very unflavorful and the bubbles were not a pleasant chewy consistency. I would recommend the FOOD to everyone and the setting was enjoyable.

We wondered in last night at 7:30 PM, had time to place our order get served a eat, took until 8:10 PM to finish. Excellent food, service, and attention. The staff took very good care of us, fast order to service time. No one pressured us to leave at closing, they allowed us to finish up. Great experience.

Fast casual on another level. Don’t let “fast” or “casual” parts fool you…the food is top-notch, service is friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is low-key but inviting. This was our second time here and we will return. The fresh spring rolls were phenomenal and I really loved the miso soup. Very flavorful!

My daughter, her husband, and I really like Japanese food. When she got a promotion at work she decided to celebrate at a Japanese restaurant. She found this place on the Internet. This place is small and quite crowded. There is no parking lot but there are many parking meters along the streets and we found a parking garage very close to this restaurant. It is in the downtown area of Carlisle. After we got inside the restaurant, we picked where we wanted to sit. We found the Menus on the table. After we decided what we want to order, we went to the cashier to order and paid for our food then wait at a table to be served. The food and drinks we ordered came rather fast and they were delicious. We ordered fried Gyoza and Tagoyaki for appetizers. There were 6 pieces each. I had Sakura (dry) Ramen and I enjoyed it very much. They were very good and warm. The others ordered Tatan Ramen and Miso Ramen. They also enjoyed their food. My daughter and I each had a glass of Thai tea which we didn’t think it had the right aroma of Thai tea. However, I would recommend this place if you are in the area.

If I could rate this a 100/10 I would. Issei is one of the best places hands down. We stop here because of the food and the environment. The Pho is delicious, seasoned well, and the noodles are always cooked to perfection. The Kimchi fried rice is my best friends favorite and it tastes so good. It seasoned well, tastes delicious and has the perfect amount of heat. We also love the Katsudon.(Idk if I spelled that right) it’s delicious crispy fried chicken!! If you are looking for a spot to try new foods this is it. Its a super busy spot, so hurry!! They are closed Sundays & Mondays. They have specials daily. You choose a table and then go to the counter to order.. remember your table number!! They even have a self help spot, that has to go containers and more condiments! Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Carlisle! My go-to is the spicy tan tan ramen with egg. You get so much for what you pay. The staff is very nice. It’s a cozy, feel-good Asian cafe. It’s a great place for a lunch or dinner date!

Issei is always a good dinner date choice.Their food is always delicious and reasonably priced… and my girlfriend most of the time gives me puppy dog eyes to get her an extra bubble tea drink from there. Always worth it to go and fill up our bellies.
