Iso Iso Ramen & Boba

Iso Iso Ramen is an amazing addition to the Clemson county. I cannot be more grateful that a truly authentic and delicious take on ramen has come to Clemson. Sushi ramen burrito cannot even come close to the ramen Iso provides, and I’m so happy to finally have quality ramen in Clemson. Iso Iso Ramen has earned a genuine and loyal repeat customer, and here’s why. On a soft opening day, iso iso ramen provided; albeit very slow. Due to their instant water boiler breaking, ramen took quite long to prepare/deliver to customers. I guess that’s why they call it a “soft” opening right? To work out all potential issues. This is completely understandable, Judging Iso based on their trial run opening shows how little respect one may have for the service industry in general. I ordered an iso iso ramen and shoyu ramen takeout. The takeout was prepared nicely; the broth completely separated from the noodles and precut veggies/meats/addons. This is a great idea. The broth was very warm once getting home, dumping in the add ins and noodles cooked nicely. After trying the ramen for the first time, I knew immediately I will be coming back. Coming back two days later, Iso has sorted out all the issues entirely, and are performing/preparing ramen impeccably fast. When I was told a 20 min wait for a bowl, I received my order within 10 minutes. This was an hour before close and packed out seating. The staff are all very nice, genuine people. They seem to really care about the food they provide and go out of their way to make sure they cater towards the customer’s liking (conversing with customers, asking likes/dislikes about dishes, etc). They have a very cute robot cat that also delivers drinks to your table. Very cool to watch, a nice/unique entertainment piece not seen elsewhere in Clemson. Overall, the atmosphere is great. The music choices to ambience all pairs well with the food they provide. I absolutely love it inside. The food from takeout: The iso iso ramen was delicious. The spice was perfect, a great kick. It wasn’t too hot to handle. It was a perfect amount to really contrast the flavor of the broth. In all the ramen bowls, the broth had great unique flavor that really shined through the meat, noodles, and addons in each specific bowl. Dining in, and the meals pictured: I ordered tonkatsu with spicy beef addon to get that flavor of spice added. Again, I cannot stress enough about how delicious the broth is. Creamy broth, spice adds nice level of kick. Beef cooked nicely, pork is absolutely melt in your mouth, and has amazing flavor. The food feels warm and inviting, some of the most delicious comfort food I’ve had. Really brings a nostalgic feeling as I eat. Some things to improve (for me) Possibility of making any ramen bowl a particularly spicy bowl. I enjoy spice, and I quite enjoyed the spicy beef with tonkatsu, but if the option for just ordering a fully spicy tonkatsu etc is possible, that would be delicious. Or a fully spicy bowl of any variety. Show me some other flavors of spice. I look forward to this the most! I greatly hope this restaurant does well and stands the test of time in a Clemson. They bring an amazing and unique cuisine experience that is not offered anywhere else (no, a place that sells burritos alongside ramen is not authentic, nor was it good in any sense, and was more expensive for microwaved ramen). The only thing I’m not looking forward to is waiting in lines that stretch outside the door every time I come, because of how popular this place should become.

Perfect for a rather quiet dining experience, doesn’t get too rowdy or noisy, you can enjoy food by yourself. You pay at the kiosk and wait at the table. The server will direct the cat robot to you for apetizer( dont touch it to finish until you take out the dishes of it). Or the server will bring the ramen to you. I was quite full by the appetizers I chose so didn’t get to try the ramen menu this time. The current choice of appetizers include takoyaki, ika geso( deep fried squid, has very mild pepper flakes on top), gyoza, karage chicken, chashu bun and vegetable croquettes.

We ordered Iso Iso Ramen, Black Tonkotsu Ramen, Chicken Bento box, Gyoza, and Tiramisu milk tea. Everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious, and it had great flavor. ...

Iso Iso Ramen is delicious. I had the spicy Iso Iso Ramen, which was delicious but not too spicy for me. My friends both had the Tokyo Miso Ramen. The noodles were cooked just right. Mango milk tea was also delicious. Gyoza dumplings were great, too. Plus, the cat robot brings you part of your food/drinks. Nice atmosphere as well. It's a must try!!

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I got the Ika Gesso, black Tonkotsu Ramen, and a lychee tea. You have to order at a kiosk. Some people may dislike this, I consider it a plus. Less chance for your order to get messed up. The drink is brought to you in a robotic caddy. A little gimmicky, but it works and makes the whole process more efficient. The boba and appetizer were excellent. The ramen was good. I liked that they didn't overcook the noodles, that way it can finish cooking in the broth.

Incredible taste and perfect service! We’ve been to many ramen places in LA, Seattle area and this one is top notch especially such a hidden gem in Clemson. Ramen broth is tasteful and not salty. Egg cooked just right. Owner provided us great service and accommodation for the kids. Will go again next time in town.

This is THE best ramen in seneca / clemson are hands down! Broth was perfect, noodles perfect. I'm trying to honestly find a negative but can't. Oh, and they have a robot deliver your drinks which is cool! Must try honestly one of my favorite places around

It was my first time, but my daughter and husband had come in before. My daughter couldn't remember what she liked so she just tried a flavor of Boba tea. We got to the parking lot and she liked mine better than hers . So I went back in and they gave her a new drink that was awesome and very much appreciated. We will definitely be back
