First time at ISO ISO Ramen. I love the look of the place. The menu is outstanding. All kinds of Ramen, hibachi, other noodle dishes, as well as bubble tea. It was hard to know what to order. I wanted to order one of everything! I finally ordered the ISO ISO ramen and brown sugar bubble tea. The lunch special was a great deal. At just $20 for bubble tea and an entrée. I will for sure be back to try all the other options! The donuts also looked delicious. read more

New favorite spot for ramen! This place was FANTASTIC! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I got the tonkatsu ramen bowl and it was so flavorful and there was a good amount of pork belly in it (not just 1 or 2 pieces). The milk tea was amazing as well! Our server was a superstar and I can't wait to come back here! read more

Iso Iso issa REAL ramen! The pork Tonkotsu Ramen is a home run. 100%. Like, don't sleep on it. It's served with rich broth and plenty of meat. My favorite part was how well balanced it was and how it was served on a nice presentable bowl. No disposable plastic. Isobel's Shoyu Ramen with braised beef is also very good. Tasty and tender beef. I enjoyed getting extra ramen too. Seriously, the Tonkotsu pork strips were soooo good. I prefer mine with a little char, but it was still amazing here. Finally, a local ramen place that reminds me of what I had in Tokyo. They have several combo options with fried gyoza, or drinks. Speaking of which, the fried gyoza are delicious. The vibes are amazing, and the service is great. I can see Iso Iso being a winner. I can also see a lot of ramen in my future. read more

Always a satisfying meal here. Whether you need soup and noodles or rice and meat this place hits the spot. It's always semi busy and the service is fairly quick.

This is a cute Japanese restaurant that also serves boba. The service is quite fast which I appreciated and the server was attentive and kind. I ordered oolong milk tea with crystal boba and it was flavorful! Now I do wish the food was a bit more flavorful. For instance, the edamame only had salt and chili powder on the top. I feel the flavor could've been more elevated if it was on some kind of sauce. The ika gesso and chicken karage batter could have also been more flavorful as well. I've previously come here and ordered the ramen and mochi donuts. The ramen was alright, nothing amazing but it does the trick if you are craving. I loved the mochi donuts! Overall, I'd come back for the boba and the donuts. read more

Absolutely loved this spot! My favorite place to go for some good ramen. The ramen was rich, flavorful, and comforting, the pork belly was perfectly tender and the broth had that deep umami taste you only get from hours of simmering. The shredded chicken ramen was also delicious and light, great balance of flavor. They currently have a combo special with Ramen and a Boba tea, the drinks paired perfectly. The vibe inside was cozy with a cool neon glow, and pretty ceiling cover with sakura flowers Definitely a new favorite for ramen nights! No wait time, service was quickly available. read more

I'm always amazed at how fast the food comes out. Even when it's a packed house. The food has been piping hot and presentation photo worthy. The various ramens I've tried have great rich and flavorful broths. Portion size is great -- I leave happy and full. Slowly working my way through the menu getting an appetizer and a bowl of ramen when I go. A mochi donut too when I have a sweet tooth. They are so fresh and have that light chewy mochi texture you want. read more

I wish I had a bowl of ramen from ISO ISO as I'm typing this. The noodles had a great bounce and chew to them. I liked that you can add additional toppings. Get the spicy one it's sooo good.

Woah, this ramen place rocks. In a little cove in the Palladium shopping center this is a must try if you like ramen. Arrived with the wife and inlaws for dinnerl. We all started with some edamame, dumplings, and buns. The edamame was very good, but obviously not nearly as exciting as the other apps. The Dumplings were crispy and delicious, and the sauce was perfect with it. The buns were also amazing, while I always beer towards the pork buns, I was very impressed with the fried chicken one, super crispy, but juicy chicken and the buns were perfectly soft. For Ramen I got the Tonkasu. The brother has excellent deep flavor, and the pork was perfectly paired. My wife got the iso iso with pork instead of the spicey beef, I tried it it was also very good but the broth was a bit too spicey for me. Great place to check out if you love Ramen. read more

Step aside, Tampopo, there's a new ramen place in town! I'm so happy that Yelp guided me to this new spot when I was craving noodles one night. My first impression of Iso Iso was via take out order. It was close to closing time, and we didn't want to hold them up so we ordered some ramen to go. We shared an order of Karaage Chicken, and I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen as my entree. We were really impressed with the innovative nested packaging which prevents the noodles from getting soggy. Even without it being as hot as a dine-in experience, we were still very impressed with how delicious everything was. This sealed the deal for us to visit for a sit down dinner. When we enjoyed our in-person experience, we went all in. To start we ordered the Chashu Buns because pork belly is one of my weaknesses. The buns were so soft and pillowy, and the lettuce and cucumber added nice freshness. I also ordered a Mango Milk Tea with popping boba. At first I wasn't sure about the popping boba because I hadn't had it before, but our server convinced me to try it. It definitely added some interesting mouthfeel! This time I ordered the Iso Iso Ramen because it had been highly recommended to me. Spiced ground beef and corn are not ingredients that I have ever experienced in a bowl of ramen before. In a spicy, cream chicken broth it all comes together so beautifully on the palate. They even have a huge list of options to add-on, so you can create a customized bowl of ramen to your taste. I was excited to add mushrooms to mine! I definitely foresee us becoming regulars at Iso Iso, and we're extremely interested in the revolving sushi bar place that's opening soon next door! Don't sleep on High Point, they are on the up and up! read more

This place was amazing! I loved the decor! Made the place feel cozy and inviting! Definitely a great date night choice! The server we had was very attentive and patient. The ramen was perfect! The broth was delicious and pact with flavor with the meat being so tender. The boba was more on the ok side for me but definitely not bad. Now the Mochidonuts were delicious!

ISO ISO ramen was soooo good! I decided to stop in while visiting my mom because she never really steps outside of her comfort zone when it comes to food. I was surprised she ate but she did & she loved it. The restaurant is really nice & the service we received was top notch. Thanks to our server my mom discovered that she likes boba (lol). The next time I'm home I will definitely be going back. read more

The stars were for location and ease of getting a table. The peach tea with boba was good. It wasn't very sugary. The restaurant is small but very modern and trendy. They paid a great deal of attention to the decor and dishes. I wish the same amount of attention was given to the food. I ordered the chicken rice bowl. It is actually served on a plate. It was not good to me. The rice was gummy. The chicken was just a boiled chicken breast shredded (No seasoning and a bit dry) and stacked on top of the white rice. There was about half a cup of corn, edamame, egg and crunchy onions on the side. There was one non shredded bok choy on the side. The dish was then drenched in a seasoned mayo type sauce. I was not impressed at all. I had to add flavor by drenching it with the soy sauce and spicy sauce that was on the table. The gyoza seemed like it was originally frozen...almost store bought. What annoyed me the most in this visit is my friend got her ramen. My dish and her daughter's dish came like 10-15 mins later. She had to start eating because she had a warm dish. My food came and it was room temperature. My friend didn't like her ramen and her daughter didn't like her buns. This was underwhelming. I may return for a casual visit for bubble tea or desert, but not for a meal. We had enough variety to make the decision. At the end of the service checking out was a task. We asked for take out boxes. Only one was brought. We tried to check out. She handed the handheld device and walked away. We didn't know how to use it for the second check. We had to call her back. read more

High Point's newest ramen spot is potentially also its best. At the very least, Iso Iso is the best equipped for dine-in. Décor is more than just functional here: the dark brick and woodwork is sleek and modern. Moreover, Iso Iso seemed to be well-staffed with folks who seemed to enjoy working there. A restaurant's opening weeks can be stressful, and the absence of hangdog expressions or abject panic bodes well. Iso Iso's menu features Japanese apps, rice bowls, ramen, and boba teas. The latter two can be customized with add-ons and toppings. Whether you are a vegetarian or craving salty meat, like spicy or prefer mild, you should be able to find something here. For our first visit, my wife and I split an order of Chashu Buns and a Tonkatsu Ramen (to which we added black garlic oil). Our food came out quickly, and the ramen was a plentiful portion. At $17, it was not the cheapest in town, but the execution made it worthwhile. The broth was rich, and flavorful, and the black garlic oil added another dimension that we didn't realize we were missing. Toppings included pork belly, a marinated egg, mushrooms, bamboo, corn, and scallion, and they didn't skimp on any of them. The Chashu Buns - good balance of refreshing and salty, excellent sauce - were a winning choice as well. Boba/ramen/poke shops are no longer the novelty that they once were, but even in an increasingly competitive market, Iso Iso has the combination of fast and friendly service and well-executed food needed to make a name for itself. Here's hoping it doesn't tail off. read more

Welp, definitely excited about this new spot for ramen, apps, and boba! We stopped in just two short days after opening, and left very impressed by the flavors, the service, the aesthetic of the restaurant, and the speed at which everything came to us. This is going to be a spot we visit again and again! We wanted to try a little of everything, so we got a peach bubble tea with mango popping jellies to share. Next time, we would go with 50% sweetness, but honestly, that sweet paired very well with the hearty ramen flavors, so it was all good. It was very tasty on it's own! We got a pair of Chashu steamed buns as an app, these have a nice thick slice of crispy pork belly inside them. The buns were fluffy, and the accompanying sauce made for an excellent balance. Tastes all on point. That said, i felt it was a little expensive for two buns, three would have been just right. But oh... the RAMEN! We each chose a bowl, my wife went for the number 1, Iso Iso Ramen. I went for the 4, Isobel's Shoyu ramen. We swapped bowls halfway through and also sprung for an extra marinated egg. While both were undeniably delicious, I found myself taken aback by the Iso Iso Ramen. For one, I had never had a ramen with seasoned ground beef in it before, i usually gravitate toward the pork. Now though, I am a believer! Not only was this easier to spoon up, but the spicy flavor of the broth was something I never wanted to end. It almost had a bit of a buffalo sauce flavor, but it just lingered with a wonderful heat. MAN. I want another bowl. This isn't to say the Shoyu ramen wasn't also delicious, the braised beef was super tender, like a nice pot roast. Your first thought is why beef comes in a chicken based broth, but it works, I assure you. There was not a drop left in either bowl, and we both commented on the fact they don't skimp on the amount of noodles. They came around with a sample of their oreo mochi donut for dessert, and this was delightful. I'd come back just for a donut and a snack. But i don't see how I wouldn't also order ramen. Wow! Can't wait to come back. read more

Oh man, Iso Iso opened at the perfect time of year! It is soup season and I've already been twice in 2 weeks. Great and convenient location in the Palladium shopping center right next to a revolving sushi restaurant (not yet opened). The staff was very kind and attentive. They took the time to explain items on the menu we had questions about. The restaurant had plenty of table and booth seating and was well-decorated and clean. I selected the "Iso Iso Ramen" which is spiced ground beef in a very spicy and rich broth. I've never had something like this when it comes to Ramen, so I was intrigued and was so happy I got it. It was amazing! Burst of flavor and heat (the good kind, not the kind that just burns without flavor) with generous portions of meat and broth. Before our ramen, we did try out the Chashu buns (pork belly buns) and they were delicious! Thick cut of meat and the toppings were super fresh. I am looking forward to the next visit! read more

A little piece of heaven in every bite. My family has been meaning to try this cozy restaurant and finally got the chance. Ambience was great, felt really comfortable while dining in. Staff was very friendly while cleaning inbetween helping tables showing they care about keeping standards high. The food was amazing. I had the tonkotsu ramen, my wife had the curry rice bowl, and my daughter had the kids shoyu ramen. Everything was perfect. No complaints. We also got to try the crab rangoons and gyoza. The rangoons were on the sweeter side with a creamy inside and crunchy outside. The gyoza was fried so it was crunchy with a meat filling that was nicely flavored. We were so happy with our experience we decided to get take-out the next day. Food was definitely thought out when prepared since the ramen had specialty plastic bowls to prevent soggy noodles. For me, this is the best Japanese food and ramen in the triad. Nothing beats the flavor and care put into every dish. This is a destination food restaurant you need to try if visiting the area, or a regular spot you will need weekly if local. read more

High point has a new ramen spot and we needed to try it after seeing a very convincing ad! We went on a Sunday around 6:00 and were seated immediately. We ordered the kuraage chicken buns, iso iso ramen, and isobel's shoyu ramen. The ramen came out within 5 minutes. Both were hot, which was great for a rainy night, and displayed beautifully! The iso iso ramen was great, a great amount of spice, the beef was cooked well, and the broth was warm and delicious. The isobel's shoyu ramen was also great, not spicy so we added some chili oil, and the noodles were cooked perfect. The kuraage chicken buns came out a bit after and were hot, sauced well, and a great side snack. We got some boba to-go (not pictured) we got a mango fruit tea and a taro milk tea. Both came default 100% sweet and were great. The mango fruit tea tasted the smallest bit bitter on the end compared to other boba I've had but not enough to bother me. Overall everything was great. The only complaint we both had, which was only a suggestion is that the bok choy in the ramen wasn't separated at the base so we had to bite the leaves off the stem. Like I said, not a big deal at all, just a preference. 100% will be returning to try more! 5/5 read more

Iso Iso Ramen & Boba - #1 Ramen - Ramen Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

Came here for dinner and was immediately seated. The space is small, but clean and decor is catered to trending anime fans and aesthetics. Naruto series was playing on the tvs. Our waiter was friendly and was helpful with my decisions. I gotten the Iso Iso Ramen, as I never had ground beef ramen. I like it, but wasn't hot. It was very lukewarm. There were very few people in there so it didn't sit out to cool off. I hope it wasn't placed into a microwave. But that bothered me a lot. I also ordered a brown sugar boba tea, which I liked. It's a flavor that can't go wrong for me at any place that sells boba milk teas. Although I found my overall experience mediocre, I'm willing to come back. There's several items on the menu appealed to me. read more

Newly opened ramen spot in High Point NC, the inside of the restaurant is so nicely done. Nice LED lights, and they have this beautiful flower arrangement on the ceiling. I got the potato croquettes, and the vegetable ramen which was thankfully made in vegetable broth. Usually most places they use pork broth or chicken broth, so having a vegetable broth for vegetarians is a huge plus! I also got the Thai tea which was delicious. The service was quick, food came out fairly fast, some of my friends said the broth was a little too cold but other than that it was very good. Great new place to try out, food was on par! read more

The Iso Iso Ramen was DELICIOUS. Super flavorful broth with the right amount of spice. Will absolutely be back!

The place is a small shop at the palladium shopping center. Its neat with 2 tv in opposite directions. At the time we went it was airing 2 animes. The food menu is simple, but the food was served within minutes after ordering. The meat in my ramen (pork belly) is flavorful and so soft it melted in my mouth. The boba tea here takes longer to get than the food but is really good too. Definitely recommend coming to eat here! read more

Great ramen spot in High Point (Right next to Shinjuku Station). Not a ton of options on the menu but I think it actually helps make it easier to choose. The Iso Iso is pretty spicy FYI but it was super tasty and the pork belly ramen bowl is excellent. We also tried a rice bowl and several apps including their new spring rolls (they were good but pretty heavy on the onion flavor). We wrapped up our meal with the mochi donuts... if you buy 5 you get the 6th one free for $15. There are 8 different flavors so this is a pretty good way to try multiple options and they go quick! Looking forward to coming back again soon. read more

I'm really picky with my ramen, but I would say I'd come back here for it. Kinda small place. Went around 5:30p-6p and didn't had to wait for a table. Lovely decor! Service was quick! The TV in the back was playing Naruto, so that was a plus for me! Watching Naruto while eating Ramen! The Ramen I ordered was the Iso Iso Ramen with the spiced ground beef. I don't normally order anything spicy, and this had a good kick of flavor to it. First time trying ground beef in ramen, and it was great! I added an extra egg to mine. My fiancé ordered the Isobel's Shoyu Ramen. Good flavor but after trying mine, there is no comparison! The beef reminded me of eating pot roast. We also ordered Takoyaki and mango milk tea with lychee jelly. Both were excellent! We can just come here for just that! Then on our way out, we noticed they had some mochinut-like donuts? Not sure if they were the brand, but i don't care! It had the same texture and it was awesome! (Forgot to take picture). Loved our experience here and will definitely come back again! read more

The inside was cute, clean and charming. It is what really made this place special. The service from our waitress was okay. She was sweet. The food was the biggest let down. The veggie ramen had little flavor and had very little toppings in it. The ramen noodles were not very good, tasted like top ramen without seasoning. The appetizer chicken was not good, thigh meat and was pink on the inside. Overall it was not somewhere I would go back especially for the price. read more

I've been to Iso Iso Ramen & Boba twice now, and I can confidently say this is the only place I'll be getting ramen from now on. On my first visit, I tried the Iso Iso Ramen, swapping the ground beef for pork. It was delicious but a little spicier than I expected. On my second visit, I went for Isobel's Chicken Ramen but subbed the chicken for pork, and wow, this was my absolute favorite. Their Chashu pork is to die for, tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced in the broth. Every bite was packed with umami, and the ingredients came together beautifully. I also tried their oolong milk tea, and one of the employees (maybe even the owner?) personally brought it to me, saying I was his favorite customer for ordering his favorite boba. That was such a nice touch! The tea itself was very good, and I can't wait to explore more flavors. As for appetizers, the takoyaki is phenomenal; crispy on the outside, perfectly tender inside, and so flavorful. Hands down my favorite starter. I've been eyeing their mochi donuts, but I've been too full to try one... yet. Honestly, I can't recommend this place enough. If you love ramen, you have to give this spot a try! read more
