More Than Just Sushi

We know that when people hear Japanese food, their minds typically go straight to sushi.

And obviously, we have and LOVE our sushi! From colourful sushi rolls and creative combinations, to fresh ingredients and plenty of flavour, sushi is a huge part of what makes iso. what it is.

But it’s only part of the story!

Table of food

If you’ve only ever ordered sushi from us, there’s a whole other side of the menu waiting for you.

And trust us… you’re going to want to explore it.

 

Have You Tried Our Katsu?

If crispy, comforting and seriously flavour-packed food is your thing, katsu needs to be on your list.

Think crispy chicken, golden on the outside and juicy on the inside, paired with rich Japanese-inspired curry sauce and your choice of sides.

It’s the kind of dish that turns a quick lunch into a proper feast.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, grabbing a bite after work or simply craving something comforting, katsu is an iso. favourite for a reason, and if you love Japanese-inspired food but you're not necessarily in the mood for sushi, this is a pretty good place to start.

 

 

Loaded Rice Bowls

Next up? Loaded Poke Bowls.

These are all about big flavours, satisfying toppings and plenty of variety.

They’re perfect when you want something filling and substantial, while still getting all those Japanese-inspired fusion flavours you love from iso.

Grab one for lunch, order one for dinner, or get a few dishes on the table and share with friends.

Because sometimes you just want a bowl of food that looks as good as it tastes.

 

 

Flavour-Packed Noodles

More of a noodle person?

We’ve got you. 🍜

Our flavour-packed noodles bring another side of Japanese-inspired dining to the table.

They’re warm, comforting and full of flavour. Perfect for when you’re craving something a little different from sushi or rice bowls.

And let’s be honest, there’s something about a big, wholesome bowl of noodles that just hits differently.

 

 

Crispy Karaage

Then there’s karaage.

If you’ve never tried Japanese-style fried chicken, this is your sign. Karaage is bite-sized, crispy, golden and seriously moreish.

Try in a variety of different dishes from poke bowls, bao buns, or even in a burger!

And really…

Can you ever go wrong with crispy chicken?

We don’t think so.

 

 

Fresh Salads & Japanese-Inspired Sides

It’s not all about indulgent comfort food, either.

If you fancy something a little lighter, you’ll find fresh salads and Japanese-inspired sides alongside the rest of the menu. They’re perfect for mixing and matching, sharing with friends or adding something fresh to the table.

That’s one of the things we love about iso. you can make your meal exactly how you want it.

Go all out.

Keep it light.

Order a little bit of everything.

There’s no wrong way to do iso.

 

 

 

And Then There’s the Bao…

Because we can't talk about iso. without mentioning our fan favourite bao.

Soft, fluffy and packed with flavour, our baos are another great option when you fancy trying something a little different.

Whether you’re going for crispy karaage chicken or delicious pumpkin katsu, they’re perfect for grabbing, sharing and, most importantly, enjoying.

And that combination of soft bao, crispy fillings and delicious sauces?

We’ll let the food do the talking.
