The food and the service are usually very good. Love the ability to customize your bowl. I also love the shrimp tempura appetizer. However, this place needs a good deep clean. Everything is "sticky". From the tables to the condiment bottles. I could see finger prints in the sticky on the soy sauce bottles. They need to be boiled! The windows are pretty dirty too. The light fixtures have flower leis that have visible dust strands illuminated and hanging from them. And the floors. If u are alt all squeamish about laissez - faire cleaning this might not be the place for u. Bring wipes!

My favorite restaurant in Flagstaff! This spot is always a #1 stop during my vacations in Flagstaff. I make sure to go an extra time or two before heading back to Vegas. The best part is that they are Vegan AND gluten free friendly! Gluten free broths, rice noodles, tofu, veggies, + spices & sriracha are all delicious. The area is very cozy nestled into downtown Flagstaff surrounded by shops. The sweet lady who is always working (I assume the owner) is adorable and extremely kind! Every visit she gives my service dog a bowl of water while we dine. My boyfriend also loves their boba!

The second I walked in this place I knew it was gonna be amazing! The smell and the friendly staff. After we ordered we were quickly served and the food looked awesome. Everything tasted amazing and for the price you were given lots of food. I didn't think much of the name but this places ramen- is in really big bowls! Will definitely be coming back with my friends again.

Everything was delicious. We came on Saturday around 4pm. There was plenty of tables available, we were served immediately. Ambiance is alright. Pretty quiet in here. Comfortable enough to take my 4 year old. Service was excellent!

This place is not bad, but also nothing special. The build your own bowl idea is cool, but the only vegetarian broth is pho broth, and I'd rather just have pho. The worst part was that all the vegetables were soft, which is very odd for Asian food. Honestly the best dish was the cream cheese wontons, which were very tasty and fresh. (Pink for some reason, but great.) Service was also extremely slow and all the spicy pepper jars were empty. To be fair, it was a really busy day and the lady was there by herself serving, casiering, running food, cleaning tables, etc. Not bad, but definitely below average.

First noodle place that had the most amazing broth I've ever tasted I will be returning every time I drive through here!

Ramen!!

Food... 10/10 Service... 10/10 Price... 10/10 Make sure to call and place reservations if you think it will be busy seating is limited. When I did, even through it was not busy, the waitress had reserved us the best table in the place. We wanted for nothing. The sweet old ladies were fast and efficient when it came to anything we needed. The food was outstanding, and it comes in plentiful portions. The wontons had the most delicious cream cheese in the middle. This is the perfect hot meal to warm you up.

If you're here in the area just to get food and nothing else, I highly do not recommend this place! Despite the good reviews I saw on here, the service was mediocre. The employees seem nice enough but after so long, nobody ever comes up to take the order (only got a cup of water when I sat down, and that was it). An older lady came by to the table next to me, and I expected she would take my order as well. However. once she left, she never came back. The place wasn't even that busy anyways, so I really don't understand. And I finally saw the order paper in front of me (I never had to do this in other restaurants so I didn't notice). I filled it out and still nobody came around. I gave up and just gave it to whoever was at the counter where they prepare boba drinks. They took my order, but then it also took very long for the two bowls of noodles to come out. Noodles was ok, but it wouldn't justify paying an extra hour of parking fees just to sit in here to eat. And I would have liked to get dessert but I wasn't sure how long it would take, so I didn't. There's no parking fees at the street parking after 6 pm, but not sure if it was the same for parking garages. Overall, not a good experience here and not recommended.

Finding a place for lunch in Flagstaff today wasn't easy. A few restaurants were on holiday and others opened later in the afternoon. A hefty number of coffee shops were open but none would do for lunch. Fortunately, Big Bowl came to the rescue. True to its name, I was served a big bowl of rice noodles with steamed tofu, mushrooms, spinach, and bean sprouts. This was the perfect meal on a cold day. Big Bowl is a simple and informal place. I'm glad the other places in town were closed. I lucked out.

First the good news , " when " the food arrived, it was actually very good! The noodles and soups were delicious BUT now the bad news , 4 bowls of noodles took 1 hour to prepare. A table before us left after also waiting for 1 hour and my fish ball had a strange black hair (?) on it. Would I go back if I'm in town ? not sure due to the service and possibly hygiene issues..

Vegetable ramen

I love that you can customize your noodles. Food is delicious. Highly recommend the Tom yum with coconut milk broth. The mango sticky rice is also delicious!

We walked in around 4:30 PM on a rainy evening in Flagstaff, and the place was already poppin! I…read moreappreciated that they were able to text us when our table was ready. The service was decent, nothing particularly special, but the food presentation was absolutely gorgeous. The ramen was pretty good, and the biggest surprise was finding out it was happy hour, so our bowls were half off! I also loved that they offered the option to substitute pork belly for an additional charge. The ambiance was warm and cozy, especially compared to the chilly, rainy weather outside. My only small complaints were that I wish the water had ice and that they offered chili oil to add to the ramen. Overall, I'd definitely come back, especially for happy hour!

Disappointing, flavorless, and absolutely not worth the wait…read more Where do I even start? We were on vacation, freezing after a full day of hiking, absolutely starving, and ramen sounded like the perfect dinner. We waited 25 minutes for a table, and unfortunately, the experience only went downhill from there. I called ahead when we were about three minutes away to ask if they could hold a table. They said no, which was fine, but I told them we were practically there. Despite having several open four-top tables, they seated 3 separate parties of two at those tables right after my call. Not the best first impression, but we were hungry enough to let it go. Then came the food. I ordered the Goyoza Ramen, and the broth genuinely tasted like warm water. Absolutely no flavor. The egg was just a plain, hard-boiled egg instead of the seasoned ramen egg you'd normally expect. The gyoza were soggy, which makes you wonder why anyone thought putting crispy dumplings on top of a bowl of ramen was a good idea. (Idk what I was thinking when I ordered) My husband's ramen wasn't any better, but he was so hungry he couldn't even be bothered to send it back. He got the mic drop with soggy pork chips on top. No spice, no fat, no flavor red water wooo. We also ordered the fried mac and cheese ball, which was dry, NOT cheesy, completely lacking in flavor, and not even properly seasoned. Honestly, it was just gross. My kid didn't even like it but she was starving so I made her :( The bao buns were probably the best thing we ordered, and even those were nothing to write home about. The buns themselves were fluffy, so I'll give them that, but the meat portion was skimpy for the price. The sauce was so overwhelmingly spicy that it completely drowned out any other flavor. It tasted like someone poured spicy oil straight from a bottle onto the food and called it a day and I mean completely SOAKED eat fast or that will be soggy too! For a restaurant specializing in ramen, I expected rich, flavorful broth and food that was actually worth the wait. Instead, we left disappointed after spending money on a meal that neither of us enjoyed. I sent mine back and luckily didn't pay for that one but the whole way back to the hotel we wished we sent it all back and just got a pizza instead . Save your money and find somewhere else to eat. When you're traveling, you want to enjoy the local food, not regret the one dinner you chose after a long day exploring. Unfortunately, this place was a complete miss.

Just got back from a weekend away in Flagstaff, and our best meal, BY FAR, was at Pato Thai. MMMM…read more Why does Flagstaff have such good Thai food?! This place is such a hidden gem. We got there early, which turned out to be perfect. We were one of only a few tables, so service was quick, friendly, and attentive. By the end of the meal, we were all debating which dish was our favorite, and honestly, it was a tough call! I loved the juicy chicken satay, and the fresh rolls portion was HUGE and delicious. My daughters absolutely loved the pad see ew, which had that awesome wok-kissed flavor that makes you want to keep eating even when you're full. The sweet and sour chicken had amazing sweet pineapple, and the yellow curry was restaurant-perfect. Basically, everyone left happy, which in a family of four is no small accomplishment. And the prices are totally fair, especially for the portions. Pato Thai is officially going on our permanent "must eat whenever we're in Flagstaff" list. Can't wait to come back!

All of this was fulfilled with the Combination soup with clear glass noodles, meats and veggies in it with no spice. The chicken satay came with 4 on a stick with a couple half of toasted white buttered bread and a peanut sauce with a mini cucumber onion sauce side. All of this reached the palate of savory, salty, sour in a good way. Then the Penang curry ordered medium went well with the rice. There were no desserts at this restaurant. Service was a little on the slow side but once we got the food then everything was scarfed and slurped. Plenty of tables and booths as well as as bar seats which looked like for the owners' family or kids. Service was good. There were fans blowing on a cold night so that was as a bit off. Overall would come again.

Food: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 | Service: 1/5…read more We have visited Karma Sushi whenever we're in Flagstaff and have always had a great experience, but our visit on the night Friday, September 18, around 5:00 PM was completely ruined by an appalling lack of service. The food and atmosphere remain 5-star quality--my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. However, the service we received was entirely unacceptable. From the start, our server seemed rushed, agitated, and visibly annoyed by basic questions. We were dining with an elderly friend who is hard of hearing and has strict dietary restrictions. Admittedly, our friend can be difficult and missed that an item came with teriyaki sauce, which he cannot eat due to severe sugar restrictions. He sent the dish back with the food runner--a mistake on our friend's part for not asking for sauce on the side, but nothing unusual for restaurant staff to navigate. When our server returned to the table, he was clearly angry. As our friend began asking questions about a replacement item, the server openly snapped, said, "I'm too busy for this shit," and walked away. He never returned. He didn't check back after a few minutes, didn't hand our table off to another server, and didn't notify a manager. He simply abandoned us for 45 minutes while we ate, walking past our table multiple times without making eye contact. We sat with empty glasses for over 20 minutes; my wife and I planned to order another round of beer and cocktails, but were never given the chance. No one else stepped in until we finally flagged down a different server just to get our check. It was obvious the staff knew what had happened, because the server presenting the handheld payment machine apologized and explicitly told us, "You don't have to tip if you don't want to." If a server is overwhelmed or frustrated by a guest, the professional response is to step away and send over a manager or another teammate. Cursing at a table and leaving paying customers completely stranded--especially showing zero patience or basic empathy toward an elderly guest--is indefensible. It was embarrassing for us after raving about this place and recommending it. The receipt does not list the server's name, but management can easily identify him: he had a prominent neck tattoo and was working the floor around 5:00-6:00 PM on 9/18. I am happy to provide receipt details to management upon request. My wife and I will likely return for the food, but we will immediately request a different section if this individual is assigned to our table. Our friend will not be back.

Our server Caroline was excellent! I ordered an Old Fashion cocktail. It came with a large rock, which is good but the drink portion itself was small as the liquid came to about 1/2 way up the cube. Every bar/restaurant I've been in, the drink portion at least comes to the top of the cube? Small pour! Our table ordered 3 shareable appetizers which were substantial in size and very tasty. My date ordered chicken parmigiana and the portion was large enough that she took half home. Bravo! I ordered the lasagna which came in a small maybe 6" diameter bowl with rigid sides which actually made it hard to eat. First bite was tasty but somewhere between crunchy and rubbery which is not what you ever want in your lasagna. I told our server and they asked me what they could get me instead and I opted for spaghetti and meatballs. There were three meatballs and a small amount of spaghetti. The meatballs were great and the pasta was El Dente but the pasta portion was small. I reviewed the bill when I got home and realized that while they credited me for the lasagna, they charged me for the replacement spaghetti and meatballs. No bueno! The other 5 in our party seemed satisfied but the switcheroo between the bad lasagna and the better spaghetti left a bad taste in my mouth. So, small portions, big prices and their policy for rectifying a kitchen mistake includes penalizing the customer for complaining by charging them for their replacement meal.
