I'm updating because this place has changed a lot since my first review. When they first opened Chef Josh had his passion in this food. I couldn't eat something and not love it. And it was this way for a long time. But, sometime around Decemeber of last year something happened. I don't know what. I heard that Chef Josh had quit and moved to the East Coast somewhere. What I do know, is that the food quality went down, or rather, that it became VERY inconsistent. Even for some of my most favorite dishes. The noodle dishes are so hit or miss on a day to day basis, that I just can't recommend them. I can go in one day, and they taste almost like they used to, but I go in a week later and it's like the flavor's are gone. Even the balls of fire and the calamari, just, bleh. I've been finding myself coming here less and less over the past 6 months. Whereas I used to come in weekly for lunch and occasionally for a dinner. I find myself coming in once a month, if that, hoping each time that it's the way it used to be. Often times being disappointed, with what seems like the rare occurrence of finding it acceptable. read more

Yo, if you're in Flagstaff, Arizona and looking for some bomb-ass grub, you gotta hit up Sosoba. This spot is seriously off the hook with its unique and legit menu. The Mic Drop dish, man, it's the real deal. So much pork, it's insane! The flavors were totally on point with the perfect balance of savory and spicy. I couldn't get enough of it, for real. Sosoba has got a sick atmosphere, super cozy and rustic with a chill vibe. The crew there is super friendly and knowledgeable, they made me feel like I was part of the fam. They were all about hooking me up with recommendations and answering any questions I had about the menu. For real though, I'm giving Sosoba a solid recommendation for anyone passing through Flagstaff. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or taking your time for dinner, this joint is gonna kill it. The Mic Drop, you gotta try it. No doubt about it, Sosoba will blow your mind with its flavors. So, if you're in the area, make sure you check it out. read more

Avoid this place at all costs! I used to be a fan of this restaurant, but the quality of both the food and the atmosphere has declined significantly. It's evident that there has been a change in management. The last meal I had was not only unappetizing but also made me sick. When I brought this to their attention, the staff was dismissive and implied that I was just being sensitive. It's worth noting that I wasn't the only one at my table who experienced food-related issues. Additionally, the lack of physical menus is frustrating. Instead of providing menus, they make customers look one up on their phones. I may be in the minority, but I don't always carry my phone with me, especially to be courteous to others at the table. It's unacceptable that they don't have a few menus available for those who may have forgotten their phones or need assistance. read more

Do you like noodles, good hip-hop (MF Doom, Wu-Tang, Pharcyde), craft cocktails, craft beer, and servers that tell it like it is? Then come visit Forest at Sosoba. Because their happy hour is so awesome (half off everything) we were immediately given a realistic time for how long our food would take. We were starving so we grabbed a quick snack and came back to wait. We had constant attention from employees until Forrest fully took over as our server. He was down to earth, made great suggestions, and didn't lie about how long the food would take. Great place and look forward to trying their Katsu Ramen next time. I had the Drop the Mic and it was pork-tastic. read more

We walked in and the only table available was dirty, so we walked over to it and seated ourselves. There seemed to be only one server for the whole place which may explain why we were completely ignored. They were not serving The dish they advertised online, so that was disappointing. From a local perspective they should add something new to the menu or change it up. Anyhow we waited and waited to at least order a drink, but the server never came so we left. Sad seeing this restaurants service go downhill and food staying the same. read more

Having travelled to Japan and experienced all sorts of ramen with different broths, noodles, and toppings, this place was delicious. The *mic drop* was what I had and it was amazing, the added bacon gave it a different taste I haven't experienced, highly suggested. The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was a small hipster dive bar with good music and relaxing at the same time. If you're looking for traditional ramen, this doesn't apply, but I also wasn't expecting traditional. read more

I discovered this place while in town for Overland Expo West 2018. I found it after a OEW Volunteers pub crawl. Partially motivated by beer & partially a lack of dinner. I was surprised to see a restaurant open after 10pm on a Weds night. I really wanted the sushi across from them but they were closed. I had the 'Hostile Takeover' & liked it so much I came back every day for more the next 4 days. I'll make this my 1st stop for this years OEW. read more

My favorite place to come get an amazing bowl of ramen. I love ramen, but this is authentic and well cooked ramen. If I had a ton of money I'd probably eat here like 2-3 times a week, but since I don't, I love to come here every 2-3 weeks for a goooood bowl of ramen and a nice drink too. Oh! And they have mochi ice cream which I love getting to share with my friends. read more

Traditional? Absolutely not. Incredibly creative and savory? Absolutely. Words cannot describe the how amazing the food is here. For parties of 1 or 2, I recommend sitting at the bar. It's pretty awesome to watch the chef create masterpiece bowls of noodle soup. He moves around like a happy octopus; doing 8 things at once with a smile. read more

The atmosphere and the staff of this place is excellent. They are super nice and laid back. I do wish that they had a few more options in the menu for ramen since it is listed as a ramen place, and the serving sizes are really small which was kind of bummer since it's a pricy place. read more

Hope they keep bringing back the pork belly lettuce wraps - that alone is worth the trip! Service was WONDERFUL - celeste (sp?) is really nice, and friendly. Didn't feel rushed at all, even though we sat for a couple hours when it was pretty busy. read more

The staff at this restaurant is better than anywhere I have ever been. They let us sample three beers. They insisted on us doing this. I will come back and eat the food one day, but the beer specials were on fleek. read more

I'm from LA and only been here twice, and have now decided to stop by every time I'm in the area. It's simple just try it all, everything is good, Ramen, drinks, appetizers, try them all! read more

Try some different noodle dishes - especially the mic drop. They have an entire cart of hot sauces! And better yet, 1/2 off wines on the patio each summer! I think it's just during the daytime read more

Best noodles in town! The cocktails are really fun - bartenders are friendly (next door, same ownership). We love ordering mic drop, as well as pork belly anytime they have it. read more

This is the best restaurant in flagstaff! You will not find better noodles and the service is unparalleled. The chef will give you the best gastronomic experience of your life. read more

I got the vegan bowl and it was the most amazing and uniquely flavored meal I've had. The setting is awesome, totally coming back and probably for the same exact dish read more

Ramen was sooo good, the staff were so nice and always so ready to help. Service was fairly quick even with how busy they were. 100% would recommend. read more

The beef ramen was excellent.I couldn't believe how much stuff was loaded in it! Stop buying Maruchan Instant's and check this spot out!
