    Iza Poke
    Philip Y.

    Great place to grab a quick bite. Came in here during thunderstorm for lunch. Ordered Iza Poke Bowl. It was a great choice. It came with a Salmon, Tuna, avocado, seaweed, mixed green and rice. The sauce was light and it tasted delicious!

    We were hungry after Renaissance. This is a solid spot. Prices were good and not outrageous for the area. The portions were good and filling. Service was quick. The place was clean and nice. Poke bowl 5/5 Tasty with lots of fish and rice. Soft shell crab 4/5 Tasty but the one you ate the crab, just rice left. It was a generous amount of rice. Spicy miso 4/5 Tasty and good seasoning Tonkatsu 5/5 Good broth Tako 5/5 Good portion Eel bowl 5/5 We enjoyed this. Great portions

    Miso Ramen, creamy Tonkasu Ramen, Steam buns,  had the Gyoza too so good!

    So tasty! Cheap prices! And AMAZING service! Will be my new go to! Also cute and cozy inside!

    The food at IZA Robata is always very good. I had the chicken Ramen meal and it was very tasty along with the steamed dumpling appetizer. I have also had the chicken friend rice an hibachi in the past and truly enjoyed it. The staff is always friendly and seated us quickly. They also periodically check on us, refill drinks and make sure we are enjoying the food. The restaurant is very comfortable abd clean. Stop by IZA Robata today to enjoy some Ramen or Hitachi.

    You can tell when a owner takes time in their business in the food lighting and most importantly wine selection. Absolutely love coming here it is definitely one of my Ramen sushi destinations. The staff is always polite and attentive. Two of my favorite things to get are The 72 hour Ramen and the Unagi bowl.

    I don't know what food critics call an "umami" flavor for some foods, but if it means really salty ramen, then this restaurant does it in spades. I ordered the iza poke, which, from the description on the menu, seemed like the tastiest of the poke options. I wanted to avoid meat because it's pretty much what my family and I have had in our entire time here in Houston. What I don't understand is their poke seems to have been mixed with a salad. Who puts lettuce and cherry tomatoes in a bowl of poke? The seafood ramen was so salty. As was the takiyoki and the gyoza dumplings, though that was tasty. I also ordered the mango boba tea, and it was really sour. I think I'm coming down with a sore throat so I decided to order some warm water like my mom and aunt did. It came out scalding hot. How hard is it to make warm water?

    Very clean, attentive service and the menu was great. Also pretty affordable so you can try different things. Worth the drive. The only issues we had was the chicken was way too big for the bao itself.

    Shrimp dumplings

    We were starving and wanted something different. This spot is somewhat hidden. Nice seating area outside and the vibe of the inside is upbeat. They have a full bar and perhaps that's what they pride themselves on because we were not impressed with the dishes. We got grilled edamame, shrimp dumplings, spicy Thai shrimp ramen and hibachi shrimp. All dishes but the edamame and hibachi shrimp were bland. The ramen was just spicy. The best part of the ramen was the boiled egg and shrimp but I'm pretty sure the shrimp was grilled with the others before adding it to the ramen. Not saying that this spot is a no go. It just wasn't hitting the spot for us. I'm sure that since they had a few condiments on the side that they're expecting the customer to flavor as they'd like. Service seemed possibly tired or had too much on her plate because we'd ask questions or respond to her and she'd just have a blank stare but she was also serving a larger party next to us. I can understand that and let that pass. Overall, give the spot a try. Perhaps it was just an off night.

The Maki lunch special comes with 2 rolls, soup and salad. The soups and salad were a generous side, definitely more than you'd would get with a bento box. The salad was fresh and had the usual creamy ginger Japanese dressing, delish. For the maki bowls, they were a nice size, and are actually the normal sized rolls you would get from the menu for a spicy salmon and eel roll. I thought for price would be simple hand rolls with just fish and rice and wrapper, but these had cucumber or avocado, sauces and nicely filled. Deliscious eel, spicy salmon had a surprisingly different delicious flavor to it and nice kick. For the spicy miso ramen, it's actually their original tonkotsu with miso and spiciness mixed in. The waitress recommended as the best flavor and although I haven't tried any of their others, it did have nice flavor. Creamy, with layers of flavor and a nice mouth feel that coated your tongue with umami. I am a spicy fanatic, so for me wasn't very spicy, but with chili oil available on the table I could increase the spicy profile. The nice thing here is the ramen toppings aren't all extra so a great deal. Came with chashu, 2 pieces, one on top had been fried with an excellent char and crunchiness to it, especially since the crunchy garlic was on top. Also for toppings were corn, bamboo shoots, nori, rice cakes,and half a boiled egg so no nickel and dime for toppings here . Fast and attentive service so if trying to get in and out on your lunch break, no problem. Quaint, small venue in shopping strip. Quiet though so nice to have conversation with your lunch date. I would recommend and definitely go again

In a place like Houston, where you can get authentic Vietnamese food, this can be a luck draw if the fusion pays off. However, when I tried the food, it was a very flavorful and worth every cent I spent. Everything was very tasty. The wings were flavorful and crisp. It had a combination of crispy skin seasoned with a rich sauce. The meat was also moist. For a party of two, it was also very shareable because they gave six pieces -both drums and wings. I will say that you really gotta to get in there get your hands and face dirty though! (They did provide a hand wipe!) For the main dishes, the won tonic soup was very flavorful with sweet-and-sour elements with egg noodles that soaked up all this good flavor. The wontons inside were very standard. And the onion was added to provide some balance. Everything was very hardy and filling. My friend had gotten the vermicelli. Which came with crunchy egg rolls, shredded veggies, noodles, and shrimp topped with a fish sauce. It felt very light and refreshing with a balance of textures and savory elements'. Highly recommend as the number one and two selling dishes - it would just depend on if you're in a soup or dry noodle sort of mood. Service was overall fast and friendly. You have to pay by going to the counter. We had a newer waiter though, and it took him a long time to get our orders correctly and he had to get some help. Hopefully they're doing well, but overall, it's a very cute Homie little establishment. Seating fits around 30 around booths and tables.
