Food: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 | Service: 1/5 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. read more

Still at a 2 sadly! the employees clearly aren't communicating. we waiting 15 minutes for a table and then someone who came just as we walked in for our table got sat. we then had to continue waiting for 10 minutes. what's the point of the waitlist if it's not guaranteed? the food is good if you come thursday-sunday but the rest of the week is a little sketchy. also why would a pre-salad come with the meal? service is also hit or miss. i miss the old karma days read more

I stopped at Karma Sushi & Grill tonight in Flagstaff and had such a great experience! I ordered from the happy hour menu and the sushi tacos were absolutely delicious. Definitely one of my favorite things I tried! The drinks were fabulous, the food was great, and everyone was so friendly. The service was also excellent and made the whole experience even better. If you're in Flagstaff, you definitely don't want to miss this place! read more

Karma Sushi & Grill Bar in Flagstaff is a welcome option if you're traveling between Phoenix and Page, where Asian comfort foods such as ramen are not always easy to find. 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. read more

Karma Sushi Bar Grill - Green chili ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

BAD KARMA Terrible food. Gyoza dumpling weren't even warm. Tonkotsu ramen was also served lukewarm and had to be sent back to the kitchen. The pork was laden with fat and had to be carefully dissected. The noodles were the worst I've ever had-- 99 cent packaged ramen is far better. The noodles were a flavorless, gummy mess. Service, meh. read more

Came here with family for a celebratory lunch. It was a large party but luckily we were able to be accommodated. I got the volcano roll (i believe that was the name) and the presentation was beautiful and the taste was good, i think it would've been awesome if the layering of the krab was warm. My sister got the ramen but wasn't a fan of the broth flavor as well as the fact it came out cold. Pretty good happy hour and lunch deals though! read more

Came to an event with friends in Flagstaff and the group was hungry after. Wife had been having some allergy issues so trying to avoid gluten we landed here and that was a solid choice. They were able to cater to this need well asking many questions even the salad dressing if we chose a certain kind would have had gluten. Waiter was extremely considerate and timely taking care of us. Food was delicious and we absolutely enjoyed our time even though it was late we never felt like we needed to wrap it up. read more

Upon entering you'll notice it usually stays pretty busy. There are a handful of tables and bar seating. We got a seat quickly though, and the staff were very nice. Our waitress was Adel, sweet girl that made sure we were taken care of. We ordered the miso soup, fried rice, rainbow roll and the Brooklyn. All of which tasted fresh and especially the flavoring on the Brooklyn, delicious. I gave this 4 stars, only because there were items not on the menu that I would have liked to enjoy. The plus is that they had gluten free options that tasted amazing and gluten free soy sauce. We would definitely return! read more

Yum! I moved from Los Angeles and away from all its great sushi options so I was disappointed when I 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. read more

Everything about this place is perfect, you can go by yourself or you can go on a date/hang out. The restaurant is dim but not too much. It's a must for me to come here when I work out of town. The sashimi is 10/10 every time. I usually sit at the bar and Harry is awesome! Definitely can't wait until next time read more

Karma Sushi Bar Grill - Sentaku - Sashimi style & miso soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

We stopped by Karma for lunch while in downtown Flagstaff. The restaurant itself is quite large, and while the atmosphere is nice, the lighting can be a bit odd--it's super bright outside during the day, yet somehow still pretty dark inside. Service was great--friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant was about half full when we arrived, and our food came out relatively quickly. We both agreed the bento boxes are the way to go here. They're a solid deal with a nice variety and good portions. Everything else on the menu seemed pretty overpriced for what you get. Overall, we'd come back for the bento boxes, but probably not for anything else. read more

Karma Sushi Bar Grill - Salmon Teriyaki Salmon & Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Really good sushi, beer and service. We had the Garlic Fried Rice (yes fried rice at a sushi joint) and you need to try this dish, it is really good. If you like garlic like we do, and rice, this is for you. Had the Firecracker and Spyder Rolls, both were fresh and prepared to perfection. Forgot to say we started w the Ginger Edamame and it is the best I have ever had. The Asahi Beer was cold and refreshing. Just a heads up, the prices are a little on the expensive side for Flagstaff but well worth the quality and fresh taste that Karma provides. read more

I frequently visit here to just grab a couple snacks here and there, and every time everything comes out amazing. The food is always top quality with a modern kick. The inside gives a feeling of a cool new hippy bar. The only thing I think could improve is the service, but this place is one of those places you go for experience not to get in and get out. read more

I've been coming here for years with my family. It's one of our favorite happy hour spots after a long day of skiing and snowboarding. The servers are very friendly and remember you. The food is always fresh and delicious. In recent years, the restaurant expanded and the owners bought the building next door to the original location. The new location is very nice and more aesthetic than the original. I'll be coming back for years to come! read more

Karma is my go-to for "fancy" sushi in Flagstaff. They have fresh fish, pretty presentation, and a good selection of sakes. Service is typically fine but not spectacular: bare minimum engagement usually. I'm not sure why they are only using the "new" side of the restaurant nowadays, but I kind of preferred the darker decor of the original side. That said, it's really about the sushi, and they do a great job. read more

Ehh not the best ramen I've had, the broth was flavorful and spicy but that's about all it had going for it. The pork belly in my ramen didn't seem fresh or like it was prepared properly, the noodles didn't seem like they were cooked at all the texture was still hard not al dente as they should be. The servers and host were pleasant and the restaurant had a up beat vibe like a club almost. I don't think the quality of the food reflected the price it's definitely not worth being $10 more than other ramens in town. I do look forward to trying there other menu items to see what they do well. read more

Karma Sushi Bar Grill - Spicy Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Popular Asian spot right off Route 66! Right on the edge of downtown, this restaurant offers casual vibes and good service. The food was decent, but does not justify the price. Some friends and I split a few sushi rolls and each got our own Ramen. There is a huge selection of creative roles, we ordered the mermaid, the rainbow, and Alaskan rolls. All had good flavor and fresh fish, but the rice was very dry. My ramen was well balanced and was great for a chiller day, but was missing some flare. It could have used more toppings and more flavor. Still a fun place to go, and they have a decent happy hour with food and drinks! read more

Nice looking restaurant with contemporary decor. Nice long bar. Darkish interior not a lot of natural light. Came here for lunch and had the bentos which were mostly good, however the miso soup was Extremely salty to the point of inedible.

I hate to give any business 1 star but the truth must be told. First mistake I made was going to this place hungry after an hour drive from Sedona. I will admit the vibe inside and bar was cool but as far as service goes we were not happy at all. I felt bad for the waitress cause she seemed like she was doing 20 things at once. I don't understand how so many businesses are understaffed on a busy night. We ordered a total of 4 rolls for me and my wife and had to wait an hour and 15 mins for the first roll to come out. Then every 5 mins another roll came out. We got a few specialty rolls and they had no flavor, and the rice tasted stale. I was really surprised especially after seeing so many good Yelp reviews. read more

I am in town visiting and was recommended to come here by the front desk staff of my hotel. I decided to do a take out order. Take Out Experience: I was called about 15 minutes early from my requested pick up time, which sort of stressed me out. And I tried to find a place to park and found something about a block or so away. I had to tried to park out back for them to bring it out as they offered but a passerby told me I couldn't stop there and I felt like I'd get a ticket so that's why I had to park and walk over. Service: That being said, service was incredible. The hostess was welcoming and kind. When she went back to get my food, another server passed by and made sure I was being helped, which was very thoughtful. The kitchen staff brought out my food and made sure everything I ordered was in the bag and that I had the utensils/sauces I needed. Food: One word, incredible. I inhaled my food in my hotel room and forgot to take pictures. Their spicy tuna on crispy rice (I cannot recall their name for it) was a generous portion and well seasoned. There was a perfect amount of tuna to rice (which isn't common). I got two maki's (tuna and yellowtail). It was some of the freshest and tastiest fish I've had in Arizona. I also got a Volcano Roll. It is topped and chock full of scallops and crabs with masago and sauces. One of the best baked rolls I have ever had. I have a full belly and a happy heart. The quality of service and food made up for the parking/getting to get my food part. I'm not familiar with the area so that's also on me. read more

Good Karma At A Great Price..... - Overall: 5 - Location: 5 - Ambiance: 4 - Menu: 5 - Food Quality: 5 - Food Portion: 5 - Service: 5 - Price: 5 - Value: 5 - Parking: 2 My wife and I visited Flagstaff for 4 nights and needed some places for dinner. Reviewers pointed us toward Karma.....and they were right. Pros: - Location: Central. Right along Route 66 in the middle of town. - Exterior: A storefront, but with a big neon sign that's hard to miss. - Ambiance: Attractive and lively. Bigger than the outside indicates. The full service bar looked great. - Menu: Fun. Lots of interesting choices and combinations. - Food: Excellent. We shared an order of Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura (12 pieces for $9)...a nice bargain. Then we had the chefs choice Sashimi Combination for 2 ($34) which included bowls of Miso Soup. What a deal! Four pieces each of 5 types of fresh sashimi for $34! We added their home made wasabi ($4) and washed everything down with a Sapporo draft - me ($9) and the house sake - her ($8). - Service: I didn't get our server's name, but he was young, friendly and helpful. - Price and Value: Tough to beat. All that food only ran us $61 before tax and tip. Con: - Parking: Tough. On a Tuesday evening, spaces on the streets were taken for blocks around Karma. We parked 3 blocks away near the Residence Inn in a lot that was free after 5 PM. Our first time experience was just as good as any Japanese restaurant we've tried at home in California. read more

We were driving from Kingman to Phoenix and passed by Flagstaff. My son was extremely hungry. We stumbled upon this place in a hurry and I decided to order the tonkatsu ramen, which was listed at $18 on the menu. However, when the lady took my order and checked out, she charged me $26.71. I asked her about the discrepancy and she explained that they charge a to-go fee. I've been to many ramen restaurants and other restaurants in various states, including Washington, Texas, California, and Arizona, and I've never encountered a place that charges a to-go fee. This place feels like it's trying to gouge customers. The ramen was excessively salty, and the egg was slightly overcooked. Consequently, there was nothing special about this ramen that was not worth the $26.71 price tag. This place deserves a zero-star rating. I would strongly not recommend this place to anyone. read more

We had a team dinner here. Service was excellent. Loved their fresh oyster specials. Sashimi was excellent. My hamachi was super delicious and melted like butter.

Cheers! read more

Great sushi & drinks! This place is getting four stars from me not due to the tastiness of the food but because of the long wait time and the price of the mocktail. We went during a busy holiday weekend, so I think the food wait time was because of that. The staff was lovely, we got a seat at the bar and they came to check on us a few different times while we waited. The restaurant was huge with two seperate spaces, the ambiance inside was very charming and modern, a great date spot with even better sushi! I can definitely see why it is a Flagstaff favorite! read more

Karma Sushi Bar Grill - Inside - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

We came here for lunch while exploring downtown Flagstaff on a Sunday and enjoyed it! There's a lot of natural lighting and the space feels very open. Everyone in our group decided to order some version of the lunch special (ramen or traditional). I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and it was a good amount of food for lunch. The miso soup, California rolls, and tempura vegetables were standard. The salad was good, the dressing had a nice bite to it that balanced the rest of the bento box. It also came with pickled beets, which weren't for me but they were an interesting addition. The chicken itself was dry, but the sauce was good and there was too much rice for the chicken. It's a solid place for lunch and I wouldn't get this specific meal again, but the menu is pretty extensive. read more

Karma Sushi Bar Grill - Bento box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Sushi is still great, but overall the experience wasn't as good as the last three times I went. The three sushi rolls I ordered were all comically small, though they were tasty. My favorite was the Santa Fe roll. They removed my favorite drink from the menu, Life on Mars. The drink my friend ordered was still delicious, but it was disappointing to see mine gone. The octopus dumpling appetizer was not good at all. It was a ball of random textures, and it was hard to tell whether it was undercooked or intentionally that mushy. The sauce also smelled odd, so I didn't enjoy it. They used to have shrimp wrapped in potatoes, which was fantastic, and I really miss that dish. Finally, there was a birthday party with a lot of new born kids screaming, and the noise level made it difficult to talk. We had to yell across the table just to have a conversation. This used to be one of the major reasons my family came to visit flagstaff in the winter but I'm not so sure I'll return next time. read more

Every time I've been, my expectations have been exceeded. The servers are extremely friendly and attentive. And the food always has me eating as if I haven't for a week. I ESPECIALLY recommend the takoyaki. To call it delicious is an understatement. The decor in the restaurant is chic, and just has a very chill atmosphere. Overall a great place, that I highly recommend! read more
