The most reliable and convenient dinner in Downtown Flagstaff! These days, it feels like everything in town closes a little too early--if you want to have a night out, it's hard to find a decent meal after 9pm and they have you covered. Noodle lovers will rejoice, but there are other small bites on the menu. What to order: Obviously the Mic Drop, a rick, tonkotsu ramen with a few different kinds of pork--most notably chicharrones to add a little crunch What to get if you're not a ramen/udon person: You can't go wrong with the sweet chili chicken! It's loaded with flavor and served over salad greens What to remember: Order your broth spicy! Also know you have more than one noodle choice and can sub udon for ramen. There are options for vegetarians. Food comes out fast, and service is great. You won't be disappointed! read more

*Cool spot in the historic flagstaff downtown area * Busy place * Good drink selection (recommend the Osaka smash) * The karage chicken and Ball of Fire were good *Mic Drop ramen... interesting protein and ingredients that you normally don't get in a ramen bowl...but unfortunately the broth was super mild and on the bland side for my liking. * Parking is a bit gnarly but the area is walkable * Service was pleasant read more

What a wonderful local favorite recommended from our resort. Two of us had the gyoza ramen and one hostile take over. Appetizers we had spring rolls Let just say there was no left overs Delicious to the last drop! Outdoor shaded seating is a must! Service we had from the blonde hair gentleman was very nice and explained how to order. The atmosphere is spot on as well. Thank you so much read more

We decided to try Sosoba while we were visiting Flagstaff since there aren't a ton of Asian restaurant options in the area and it was a cold day so we wanted something warm. The place was a bit busy on a Saturday night, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table for three, which wasn't bad. I will say right off the bat--the staff was incredibly nice and welcoming, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to expectations. We ordered the karaage to share and it was just okay, adding a side wedge of lemon would help. For our mains, we got the Mic Drop!, tantanmen, and katsu ramen, and all three were disappointing. The broth tasted more like lightly seasoned hot water instead of the rich, flavorful broth you'd expect from ramen. The egg was fully hard-boiled rather than the usual soft, jammy ramen egg, and the noodles were very al dente in a way that didn't feel quite right for ramen. Overall, I'd give it two stars, mainly because of how kind and attentive our server was. I wanted to like this place, but the food just didn't deliver. read more

Love this place. Visiting my son at NAU and it was cold out. Sosoba was the perfect choice on this evening. We were seated right away at the bar and promptly greeted by a friendly and helpful bartender. We started out with the wings and WoWzers were they so good. A little crispy with a garlic sriracha sauce - try them! My son ordered MicDrop ramen since it seemed so many others were enjoying bowls saying it was delicious- plentiful bowl with a savory broth and loaded with toppings. I went for the TanTanMen: I'm not typically a fan of pork - just because - but a diner next to me said it's a must try. It was very good and I would order again. It was two servings for me. Loved the broth and noodles. Not too much pork which was great for me and I love bok choy. Hot and spicy It was crowded and noisy on a beautiful frosty evening. All the diners seemed to be enjoying themselves; talking and laughing. I'll be back read more

I hate to leave a bad review, as the service was great and some people seem to like it.. However this is not real ramen and I must warn authentic ramen lovers! The positive reviews are probably people who like soup and dont know anything about authentic ramen. I got the miso ramen and it was not good, no depth in the flavor, practically a clear broth and watery.. also had carrots in it and bacon.. i respect their efforts in trying to be "unique " however i feel like the random toppings is to cover their mediocre broth that lacks depth and flavor. If you are used to really authentic ramen from phoenix, this place will unfortunately disappoint you :( If you are looking for interesting soup, you may like it.. if youre looking for good ramen, definitely pass. Giving a couple stars because our server was super nice and I didnt mind the appetizers ! read more

Fun place for Bao and ramen bowls. We went for my friend's birthday late at night. Sat at the bar which was a fun place to sit to watch the cooks prep food in the kitchen. The music was on fire and service was quick and friendly. We got the Bao with beef and the hostile takeover and mic drop with beef. The Bao were our favorite. Lots of good flavor. The other two were alright since I'm not a fan of watery soupy food. I'd definitely order two or three helpings of the Bao next time. read more

Sosoba - Mic Drop! - Ramen Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Loved eating here. I had the dumplings ramen and it was amazing. Sat by the windows for the woke watching! I met a cute server from here but she was not there the night I went. I'm sad I didn't get to see her and say Hi. But happy that reminded me how I've been forever wanting to stop in. I had about 4 guy waiters take my order, bring me border, bring my hot tea, then check on my enjoyment of the place and make ramen. I enjoyed interacting w all of them. All very cute, sweet and polite. I'm super happy o went early like I was there either 5pm or 6pm because the place was pretty packed when I left! Highly recommend and highly suggest GO Early. Or you may have a 10 min or so wait! Cheers to Ramen at Sosoba read more

We enjoyed their take on stir fry cauliflower a lot, their bao buns with chicken and beef were the highlight. The salad was okay and so was the miso carrot cake. read more

Can't remember what it was called but it had chicken katsu in it. The broth had no flavor, wasn't even warm. The drinking water was warm though (wish it wasn't after enduring the AZ heat). The calamari was good and my 2 year old enjoyed the Mac and cheese ball. Wouldn't go again though. read more

I order the Katsu ramen and it was great, my gf order the Mic Drop and that was a whole different story, both the noodles and broth tasted weird. We were sat right in front of the kitchen and we could see everything they were doing, not really appetizing to be honest And the waiter was really rude, almost throwing anything we asked to our seats. The place is nice, really loud at times but is good. read more

My friends and I recently dinned here for dinner as this place is their local favorite. We started off with the edamame appetizer which came out fantastic! We were all fighting for more. Two of my friends had ordered the katsu which they loved. I got a chance to try it and the noodles and broth were great, I'd honestly love a more intense flavor but it was good. My other friend got the gyoza ramen and it was fantastic! I'd definitely say this was the better dish as it had a lot more flavor than the others. I got the hostile take over and I was quite disappointed. The ingredients sounded great but the flavor was definitely lacking. The broth didn't taste like anything but the char from the pepper and beef. The pepper and meat were very lackluster. They were quite charred and that was the overwhelming flavor I was getting. The meat didn't taste seasoned at all, just grilled and chewy. The rice noodles also leaned towards the al dente side. I added soy sauce but the burnt flavor was very overpowering. My friends mentioned that the flavor levels tend to fluctuate each time but I must have gotten a bad one. They didn't even like it, but I'd like to say their meals were good! It was just mine that was quit lack luster. The server and staff were absolutely fantastic and very attentive which was great! The ambiance and decor was also very cool. Again the staff were great, I'd just get something else next time. read more

This is a mostly high top restaurant serving various types of ramen. I ordered a vegetarian ramen with rice noodles. The broth had average flavor - it wasn't too rich with umami flavor. The fried tofu had an interesting cheese like flavor (maybe nutritional yeast in the batter?). It wasn't my favorite ramen but I'd go back again to try a different menu item. read more

Only had to wait 20 mins during a busy time. Don't mind the wait, once seated I was handed a pitcher for water. Ordered and waited. Result nice place to sit and talk to guest. Once the food came around I was excited but disappointed. Flagstaff is known for their vegan ramens and "two guys who started a restaurant" kinda vibes. The thing is this ramen tasted like it was vegan? Despite us being chicken broth? I had gyoza within the ramen but was not able to get any of that taste. The brother was watery. I like a light ramen but it tasted, let's say like water with a lil chicken broth like 8% and 92% like bokchoy. I had a nice time but won't be returning. Maybe those who like a less oily and rich broth taste will like it here :)) read more

I tried the Katsu Ramen. More of fish miso taste for a broth with noodles that were kind of stale but chewy. I would've liked more chicken. Really nice staff though but I've had better ramen with more authentic broth flavoring and marinated soft boiled egg. Gets busy in the evening and at night. read more

My sister and I were really looking forward to trying this place out. Always excited for ramen in any capacity. We were looking for specific needs to go for lunch. It had to have vegetarian/vegan options and be dog friendly, they had both! The server was really nice. As it was sunny, he asked is we would like the umbrella. We ended up sitting right in the middle where there were no umbrellas (there were 2 others on either side of us) and he took off the umbrella, moved it over to us and opened it up. We were sat outside and it's just a simple small deck outside the restaurant. My sister and her husband both got the Tan Tan ramen. I was stuck between the katsu ramen vegetarian or the hostile takeover vegan. The server said the katsu is more popular but he prefers the hostile. I decided to get that with ramen noodles. We also ordered an appetizer of Bao Buns. You get a choice of protein, since I don't eat meat I chose mushroom. The bao bun was so fluffy and good. The mixture was tasty too but it was pretty salty. It felt like maybe they cooked it in hoison sauce and added salt and oh boy. So we rate that a 6/10. If it wasn't so salty it would've been an 8.5/10. My sister and husband got their Tan Tan ramen and thought it was just okay. My BIL always rates food a 9 or 10 and he said 7. I was shocked. My sister said the ramen noodles were interesting. As if it left a powdery flavor on her tongue. They both said the broth lacked flavor. They told me mine would come out in a few minutes. I waited 10 mins or more for my ramen to finally arrive. Honestly the wait for everything and in between was a bit long for a ramen shop, in our opinion.. they finished their food by the time my food came out. I was not impressed with my ramen at all. I felt the noodles were doughy for ramen noodles. The broth was a bit strange (it's a soy + mushroom broth) I've had some really great soy and/or mushroom broths and i thought the combo would be good. But not this. Also they have fried tofu cubes as part of the meal, I feel they should put the tofu on top where it's not in the broth because they get soggy immediately and when they arrive im just eating soggy flour fried tofu.. which is a bummer. We took my sister's ramen as takeaway because she doesn't eat much and they gave us a container. Realized he didn't give us or offer any bag and we ended up walking around Flagstaff downtown with this ramen container in hand lol. Honestly, overall, we would probably not come back. It was a nice try and love that there's outside seating for the pet owners. It just didn't satisfy me much. When it comes to a place to eat, if they talk about you after, it should be a good thing, not this time around. read more

The staff was sweet and the food looked/tasted great but it was an outrageous amount of time. Not only did it take 30 minutes to even get seated, but the food took over an hour and our sever only checked on us once. We were told it would only be a couple more minutes to get it to go and that was another 20 minutes on top of the hour we had already waited. When the bill came, I was told the vegetarian option I ordered was the only dish not on happy hour and had to pay full price even though it is advertised that all bowls are half off. The food was overall good but not worth the price nor wait at all. read more

They had no menus we were forced to use our phones to order, the food was poor quality and had a chemical taist

This place is amazing and every time I'm in flagstaff I will DEFINITELY stop by for food and drinks. We were there during Hafly Hour and had wings, Ramen and drinks. The old fashion was fantastic, the Mai Tai hit the spot and OMG the carrot cake is a must!! The best carrot cake I've ever had. The service was great, very attentive and friendly. read more

The service was pretty fast for a Friday night. The inside is pretty small so it's not really great for a big group (we had 5 ppl). The chicken katsu ramen was pretty good with the umami broth and crispy chicken, but it was missing a wow factor. I would have liked some kind of veggie to cut through the richness of the broth and chicken. I would like to go back and try more things but this is solid option in downtown Flagstaff (especially when it's cold). read more

This is the nastiest ramen that I've ever had . First off the ramen is cold !!!!! Along with all of the ingredients ! I was so excited because there were some good reviews but I should've known when I saw how complicated they made the ramen. Why would the ramen be served cold ?! Not to mention it was pricey . I could've made a better ramen with 50 cent ramen DO NOT COME HERE read more

This place is definitely good in terms of its open hours, but rest everything is average. We went here almost after 10:30 pm bit we got seats quickly even on a weekend. Its one if the few ramen places and we were craving for ramen after cold evening at Lowell observatory. The location is perfect and service is quick. But the ramen itself is average. It was not enough hot in temperature. It was way too salty than usual. Glassware had a stinking smell. None of us could finish our ramen. Maybe I can go back to try other items on menu but not for ramen! read more

We didn't expect this place to be a ramen noodle house, but a pleasant surprise indeed. After working a long event in Flagstaff, all the restaurants in the area were closed at 9pm, but thankfully Sosoba was open late until midnight. Really loved their gyoza and my ramen noodles were flavorful and very tasty. Menu wasn't too big but large enough to select a handful of different type of ramen. There's a full bar here, and place isn't big and we sat at the bar facing the street. All in all, our experience here was fantastic. Service was excellent and open late so I highly recommend checking them out. Great for late night dates and friend get together. Cheers! read more

Sosoba - Carrot Cake - Ramen Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

One of the rudest experiences ever. My friend and I were looking for a late night find. We walked in and were immediately greeted with what do you want, let him know we would like a seat for two. The staff then ignored us and The server was rude as well as he looked annoyed with having to take our order. We waited for our food and noticed that the kitchen was walking around in the back. They then noticed that they had a ticket and proceeded to ask who was in the building. They then loudly stated how do two girls order this amount of food. The female chef then proceeded to call us fat and big backs while sitting two feet away. Truly disappointing to know that an establishment allows this. read more

The restaurant is very clean, and the cooking is professional. The place is always busy, lively, and cozy. I really liked the staff; they were cheerful, attentive, and friendly.

The service here was great! Our server JJ did an excellent job of accommodating our group and was patient with answering our questions and providing recommendations. The fried cauliflower dish was the star of the show. My friends and I demolished that appetizer and were even considering ordering more. I ordered hostile takeover vegan ramen and didn't really care much for this dish. It was very salty and lacked flavor, the noodles were also not well cooked. I feel like this place is one of those spots where you have to know what to order. The group consensus was that we weren't really satisfied with the ramen but the bao bun plates were good. If I were to come again, I would like to try the mushroom bao buns. read more
