    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.

    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.

    The server was very sweet and the food was yummy! The vibe was very cute inside, quite cold when people open the door so wear a cozy jacket.

    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.

    The Service was amazing I didn't get our waiters name but his energy was everything ! The food was incredible. Random walk in but will be stopping in every time I go to flagstaff .

    Katsu and Mic Drop
    Alejandro Z.

    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.

    Fried cauliflower, Tofu salad, Mic Drop ramen highly recommed!

    Really great food and great service I wanted to add some spice to my ramen and my server brought me a plethora of different hot sauces to add to it! My wife is vegan and they had a fare amount of options for her to choose from. I will definitely be going back to work my way through the menu so many other apps and entrees I wanted to try!

    Fried Cauliflower

    Food was great , James was so kind , brought us different type of hot sauces to try out when we wanted to add a bit of more spice. Greens could have been a bit fresher , tofu was full of flavor the chopped green onions gave it a nice little crunch to each bite.

    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.

    Vegetarian ramen
    Steven G.

    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.

    Gyoza Ramen
    Yuuki G.

    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 :))

    Vegan Hostile Takeover VEGAN
    Bella R.

    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.

    Katsu Ramen
    Tina L.

    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.

    Yum! I moved from Los Angeles and away from all its great sushi options so I was disappointed when…read moreI moved into town not seeing anything quite worthy of quality and taste... until we visited Karma! We live about an hour away past Sedona and will happily drive in to get a delicious sushi meal. The nigiri is fresh and so tasty. One roll we had we disliked because it was topped with pesto, but I'm sure others may like it. I'm more into traditional Japanese flavors. Chicken Kara age appetizer was yummy too! Cool environment. It's not too loud and plenty of elbow space. Cool looking full service bar with bar seats. Service was okay. She was friendly and fast but I disliked how we didn't receive a printed receipt before paying. I should've spoken up but now I know to ask since it's not just provided, then pay with my card. I don't even know if the bill was right. That's the only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth.

The restaurant offers a good variety of ramen flavors along with a wide selection of sushi, sashimi, and side dishes. The space is quite large and clearly very popular. Even though the restaurant was busy, the staff remained friendly and attentive. We visited later in the evening and were able to get a table without difficulty, but it was easy to see how lively the place can be. The ingredients tasted fresh overall. I ordered the jalapeño ramen; the jalapeños themselves were over-charred, but otherwise the dish was well prepared. While I wouldn't necessarily come with expectations for authenticity, it's a solid and satisfying stop if you're looking for Japanese-style or comfort dishes after a long day in the area.
