Pleasantly surprised by this place! There isn't much up on 249/ spring~ish area Dishes: Spicy tuna poke bowl - good amount of tuna for the price. Tasted fresh, plenty of condiments and the right amount of sauce. Comes with avocado, cucumber, seaweed, lettuce. I think for price point its quite good. Presentation was great but that bowl was way too stuffed. Difficult to even attempt to mix so pick your poison I suppose. Would have liked a bigger bowl / taller bowl so I could mix it honestly 72 hour beef spicy miso ramen - 48 hour pork bone worth with miso, beef chashu , bamboo, sweet corn, green onion, kikurage, and a soft boiled egg - I was impressed! I'm quite harsh on ramen especially after visiting most of the ramen shops here in Houston. I found this dish to be quite different which is a great compliment! Most ramen places source pretty much the same broth packets and all honestly mix in with each other in my opinion. This was uniquely more different and I enjoyed it! Plenty of flavor, great serving amount, I tried the non spicy (had the spice on side) and tried my friend's spicy (spice mixed in with broth in it's entirety) and can say the spicy one was great. Would recommend this dish! Overall I was pleasantly happy with this place and would go again! read more

I should've ordered the ramen, I should've ordered the ramen. I should've ordered the ramen. Instead I came in blind to ensure I did not commit the cardinal sin of grocery shopping next door while hungry. I proceeded to enjoy a very strong whiskey flight (which means a lot coming from me), a seaweed salad that was a bit too crunchy or stiff, ikrua don, crab croquette and some admittedly super sticky, gummy, shrimp dumplings...like would not separate from the steamer paper sticky. While the offerings were not my cup of tea, the place is beautifully decorated and seems to fill up around dinner service so it may be worth the stop if you're in the area. Everyone was very nice and I always appreciate a spot offering jellyfish, takowasa, and takoyaki in Cypress. Next time I'll try the ramen, and hopefully report back with a new perspective, fingers crossed. read more

I came here two times and they were both very enjoyable. The first time I came I enjoyed tasting their spicy miso ramen, and their takoyaki is really good. The atmosphere is so peaceful and they're prepared for anything that happens like spills. The employees do a good job at checking the table. I would go here again to try their bento boxes! Also make sure you visit this place during the lunch special, their specials are really good. read more

I did enjoy my Hibachi Chicken but I couldn't finish it. I felt like I didn't eat much of it. I will say I was more attentive to talking with my friend instead of eating lol I did take my food home and my husband had my leftovers. My friend ordered the Hibachi steak with white rice and veggies. She enjoyed her meal. The service was great and the atmosphere is wonderful with different table and booth options. They have so many appetizers, sake, hibachi and ramen options. This is a fun place to check out. read more

We came to Iza for lunch. I ordered the shrimp tempura and the gyoza to start. The tempura had a little too much batter and not enough shrimp but the spicy mayo it was served with was really good. The katsu chicken don was good. Very flavorful and crispy. My spicy miso ramen was good. The egg was a little cold but the broth and meat had a great flavor. read more

Love this place. I've tried 8-9 dishes and apps and liked every one of them. The Chicken Karaage, Furikake French Fries, Seaweed Salad, Takoyaki, Chicken Bao and Chicken katsu Bao are all very flavorful. The service has always been friendly and they are always nice to my kids. I would say they are a tad high in price, but perhaps I am price sensitive. I did not take a star off for that. read more

Was at the ER for 6 hours and my daughter and I were getting hungry. She drove down to bring some ramen and it just hit right on the spot. I was coming out of food poisoning and was scared to eat anything greasy. I ordered the ramen with chicken broth and skewered chicken and was very delicious. The food stayed in my belly. The soup was so hot but I needed it to soothe my aching tummy so I downed two spoonfuls of the broth and it was delicious. I can't wait to visit again and order our favourite poke- read more

This place is great. Super friendly staff, really clean establishment with great music to keep the vibes upbeat. The food was good, I really enjoyed the angus steak fried rice.

My friends and I came in on a Tuesday night and were seated right away - there's plenty of space for seating and a couple sections for large groups. I really like the interior especially since they had it decked out for Halloween. My friend and I ordered the Baby Octopus and Chicken Thigh for starters. The baby octopus was great- sweet and savory with some sliced cucumber on the side. As for the chicken thigh, you can definitely skip this one. When we were ordering this, we had an option for the type of seasoning so we chose 'asian spice'. Honestly, it's just seasoning sprinkled on top of a skinny skewer of plain meat so this one isn't worth getting. As for the ramen, we all ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. One thing I recognized right off the bat was how lukewarm the ramen was. I personally like my soup dishes warm/hot especially now that it's getting colder. The eggs were okay but didn't have as much umami flavor from the marinade as I thought. The noodles were fine but the broth was just okay. It's not bad but I definitely had others that were richer in flavor. Ultimately, the chashu took the show away- very tender, flavorful, and rich (yum)! Other than that, the service was great! Everyone was very friendly and attentive to our table so we appreciate their hard work. I hope to come back and try their other ramens! read more

Had a taste for some ramen after a long day and we always like to try a new place, so we gave them a try based on their ratings. We walked in before 5:00pm today and it wasn't too busy and was greeted by a nice young lady and seated immediately. Good start. However when the server (Hai) stopped by, we said hello it's our fist time here and he didn't reply back so we literately said the same thing to him a second time and all we got from him was "Okay." Then he asked for our drink order and we knew this guy didn't care about us one bit spending our hard earned money, so we simply went ahead and ordered the spicy miso for my wife and I had the tonkasu with two extra eggs for me. They brought us a small complimentary salad which was nice and the ramen was good, not really good or great, but good. The ingredients were of high quality and prepared well, but the broth wasn't as good as other places. But I would rate the food a solid 4 out of 5. The service was very "transactional" that lacked the warmth and energy other service professionals have given us. If a couple tells you it's their first time visiting, a server should at least fake a smile and pretend to be happy that they're sitting at their place of business. Not Hai, it was strictly transactional and we clearly could tell he couldn't care one way or another about a customer. So the service is a very sad 2 out of 5, thus this beautifully decorated little restaurant earned only 3 stars from us and we will not be making a return visit. read more

Came here tonight for a late dinner after a day of travel. Everything was amazing from the food to the service they knocked it out the park. They have a rather large menu and I only posted portions of it. The ramen was great! Lots of flavor! Ordered soup dumplings and they did not disappoint. We got a couple of side salads and the dressing was great. I would defn come back to this neighborhood gem. Located by the Whole Foods off of Louetta and Cutten. Lots of parking. Cute little Instagramable place if you're into that stuff. Lol read more

I tried this place for a family member and it blew my mind. The ramen is good. They also have a tomato based broth which I got with the beef ramen. Beef was tender. Service was friendly and fast. But not so fast that it felt like they just threw something together. Decor was clean. Would definitely go back and recommend you try it as well. read more

First time having ramen in years, and it did not disappoint! I had the Miso Ramen, which was entirely flavorful. The chasu (pork) was well seasoned, tender, and juicy. The spicy ground pork was delicious as well, and the combination of the pork bone broth, bamboo, sweet corn, green onion all came together very well. The garlic wings appetizer was also very good - crispy, juicy and seasoned well. read more

This place is seriously the best, whether it's for a nice bite after work or a weekend dinner with the family, a date, anything. The place is clean and nicely decorated.

I have driven by here several times and decided to try a new ramen place out with my husband. The menu is quite large here, so after looking over it, we decided on the beef bao, whole grilled squid, spicy chicken ramen, and gyoza. The bao and gyoza came out first. I'm allergic to pork so I did not try the gyoza but my husband really enjoyed them and said they were some of the best he has had. The beef bao were good, we really enjoyed the sauce on it. The whole squid looked good but after eating some of it you could tell it was previously frozen from its texture and very overcooked . It was like eating a rubber band. Parts of it were also a little too charred so you really couldn't enjoy the whole squid. The chicken ramen was also a disappointment. The ramen was bland but had a weird smoky flavor. The chicken was super dry and overcooked and the noodles were mushy from being overcooked. read more

I had to repost. I can't get enough of this restaurant. The food is always fresh and amazing and no they have an extensive Japanese whiskey selection. I am more of a hot sake person which they do have, but if you are a whiskey connoisseur, you will be thrilled at the selection. The servers are always kind and attentive and if you love anime or K-pop, you will be singing and dancing in your seat as your eating. Music is always in point. Please support this location. Management is stellar. Food is incredible. read more

It was good and needed in the area. I remember checking almost religiously for them to finally open and the time has come. Our server was really sweet, it was towards the end of the night and we were her last table so we didn't get a name but. The chef came out to see if we liked everything as well which was a wonderful touch. We got the spicy edamame which is flavorful but not spicy and my 4 yr old enjoyed those with me. 5/5 Lobster bao I was really excited to try this but the meat although big pieces were a bit mushy and fishy tasting. Everything on it was fresh and it had potential with better quality meat. 3.5/5 Spicy beef ramen unlike the edamame this was super spicy, my mistake and I had to request extra broth to turn down the heat, but it was delicious. 5/5 And kudos for offering kids ramen bowls, my little usually gets her own adult bowl so she was mad, but she also didn't finish the entire kids bowl. She really enjoyed it and was quiet the whole time eating her ramen. 5/5 I can't wait to try the yakitori at some point! read more

This has become my go-to restaurant for Japanese food and drinks. The atmosphere is very quiet, very "Japanese" looking layout and decorations. The service is excellent. They are all very professional and friendly at the same time. And, the most important aspect, the food is excellent. They have quite a large selection of food that I have not seen somewhere else. All being said, I am glad they are here, and I will continue to visit and totally recommend it. read more

Stopped at While Foods for some stuff and saw "ramen." I was hungry and hungry for noodles so a fortuitous coincidence. I think it took longer to look through the menu than it did for our food to arrive. Quick service! My son had a cold beer in a frosty mug with his rainbow poke pictured below. I had the seafood ramen pictured below. 4 nice mussels, 4 good size shrimp, and a scallop to go with my boiled egg and ramen. The broth was flavorful but not spicy. I was specifically looking for non spicy this time so hooray for me. read more

Our go-to place for delicious Japanese cuisine! The ramen, bao and hibachi dishes are wonderful. The katsu and curry dishes are scrumptious, too. Their garlic wings and shrimp tempura are truly delightful. I haven't tried the poke bowls, yet. My child loves the kids' menu options. I love the hot green tea - it makes you feel warm and refreshed. Dining in is a great experience. The servers are so friendly and attentive. The food always tastes great, whether you carry-out or dine-in. The ambiance is pleasant for families, couples, friends or business meetings. Iza Robata is a rare gem in Spring. The neighborhood restaurants are usually sub-par or fast food. Iza Robata is five stars!! read more

Please be careful when ordering the stems buns or soup dumplings- ours were not cook and I am glad we looked at them before eating them.

Excellent place for Japanese style food, which although having a lot of bao type "fast" sandwiches it also offers plenty of bowls and great rice/noodle dishes. We had pork katsu and shrimp katsu bowls and spent around $23 including taxes. The portions were pretty decent, you might not split it to take some home but you get a good healthy size meal. It was cooked perfectly, very fresh ingredients with a great flavor. The service was great, a very welcoming young quick crew all working together to be on top of details at all times. I liked the ambience, the space and specially the cleanliness. I will definitely go back to try more elaborate dishes. read more
