This was our second time at SoSoBa and we were very satisfied with our meals both times. The general tso tso cauliflower is amazing, it's a must try! Since we like spicy food, we asked spicy miso broth instead for the micdrop noodle and we liked it so much better! Sweet chili glazed udon was a stir style and it was little too sweet for me. Tan tan noodle was pretty good too but I liked micdrop better. Very fulfilling, and satisfied dinner we had both time. Will definitely go back. read more

This is my first time here. I was craving some ramen. This one looked good so i thought what the hell. I came with my bf and our first impression was wow nice environment! We ordered our ramen, he got Katsu ramen i got Gyoza ramen. First of all, our food was delicious! The only downside was the ramen noodles weren't cooked all the way and there was not enough broth for the bowl. Also too expensive on top of that!That's why i only gave it 3 stars.It could've been better, but thank you. read more

I went with a small group of friends last night. None of us had been before. It was 7pm on a Friday & at first service seemed a little slow, but after the appetizer came, it was much faster! Our waiter was extremely friendly, the type of guy you could easily become friends with. The food was pretty good. We ordered the General Tso Tso Cauliflower to start, which did not disappoint! Everyone at the table raved about it. I got the Sweet Chile Glazed Udon for myself & while it was tasty, it seemed a little confused. I'd like to disclaim though, I tend to be a bit pickier when it comes to Asian Fusion dishes, being as I'm Korean & I think my standards for Asian food are a little different. My husband ordered the same dish & said it was delicious (he is not Asian). It's definitely a cool spot to checkout & I would for sure go again & try some other things! read more

Drinks, food and service are good. The broth of the different used to be salty so they have improved. I will have to try the other soups again because I can't remember if each broth has a distinct flavor. The salad is nice and light even with a planko chicken read more

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for dinner. We love ramen and he's a ramen freak so why not right? This place literally open a week ago when we came here on Sunday. The decor and everything in here was Mediocre. Nothing fancy nor an eye catcher for me. The fire ball Mac and cheese was good. But it threw me off to have it at a ramen restaurant. The mic drop - has prom belly in it. He said it was good. I ordered the vegetarian, Mr. Karl Katsu. I eliminated the chicken, bacon and carrots. (I don't really care for carrots) but he did add broccoli for me since they didn't have tofu at the moment. He was very apologetic and sincere that they just open and they don't have a lot of items. My egg was super salty. I didn't eat that. The ramen was decent. Edible. The corn was crunchy and it went well with my soup. flavorful and colorful. I wish it was more temperature hot though. And my broccoli to be cooked please. It's wasn't anything for me to brag about. I'll come back when it's couple weeks in when they're all set and have everything ready. read more

Foodie Friday or actually Foodie Day since it wasn't Friday. My friend and I wanted ramen so we went to SoSoba and it was so, so bad. A foodie fail! The appetizers were good the ramen was not. So bland! Even tried to doctor it but to no avail. With everything they had in it you'd think it'd be flavorful but it wasn't. We sent it back and ended up going somewhere else for ramen. But if you want a really good glass of ice water, this is the place to go. Lol! But for reals they had really good ice water. No funny tap water taste. Sweet chili calamari was delish, spicy macaroni and cheese ball was not spicy at all. Only spicy part would be the little squirt of sriracha sauce that's on it. Pork and kimchi tostada was good. Ramen was bland and awful. read more

Great food! We had the Mac & cheese balls, spring rolls, and General Tso flash fried cauliflower. We were only sad to get so full on appetizers that we didn't have any room for ramen! We will definitely be back soon!! read more

I'm still craving the cauliflower. We took my daughter and her boyfriend here. They've been fans since discovering the place in Flagstaff and were so excited SoSoBa in Phoenix finally opened. After my big bowl or noodles and flavorflavorflavor, I can see why. Dinner was excellent. Four adults, a couple of appetizers and cocktails and our bill wasn't even $100. We will definitely be back. Soon, because I'm craving the cauliflower. TIP: Go slow when pulling into the parking around here. Take your time and you will find a good spot, but streets are tight, so be careful! read more

Been here before but today it was horrible service and I've ordered the blood orange lemonade before but this time it just tastes like pure lemon juice, it also took 12 minutes before we were helped and it was only because we requested some menus, food was okay and they served us less then last time but other than that the service was horrible. read more

2 stars because they're all always nice. But first time that their Tantanmen failed. The broth was too sour. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy sour. I didn't mind waiting 20min for my to-go order, but I didn't expect that it would be bad. Sad that I failed my husband's dinner tonight. read more

The service was fantastic and quick. The ambiance blended beautifully with the city and the food was spectacular! 10/10 Would come again!

I didn't really like this place. The waiter was rude, the water they gave us was dirty and they gave us cold eggs at the end for our ramen. read more

If I could give -negative points I would. How are you going to tell me that this to go bowl is deeper than the one you have in the restaurant? My soup is not even 50% of the fucking half way. I recommended it this place to a bunch of my friends since we love ramen but Im wrong about this. Then whoever took my order messed it up when i specifically asked for cutlet and she put pork belly. read more

Really excited about this place. I went during their sneak peak and got their Balls of Fire, Tso Tso Cauliflower, the Mic Drop, and Mr Katsu (veggie style). Really cute little easterly. The cauliflower was awesome, my mom is vegetarian and she really enjoyed it! The balls of Fire was FIRE- reminded me of the fried Mac n cheese from cheesecake. My favorite fatty food is mac n cheese so I really like it. I had the Mic Drop- I thought the flavors worked really well together. The udon noodles were perfectly cooked and the egg was nice and gooey (my fav part). Although I do wish they put the whole egg In there. My mom got Mr Katsu without meat & bacon- she's vegetarian. She didn't really like that but I feel like unless a restaurant is specialized in vegetarian/vegan food- she won't find it good. She's also traditional Asian lady and very judgmental of Asian cuisine lol. Definitely can't wait to come back for the full menu. Hoping they have a spicy ramen/noodle dish since I love spicy food lol. read more

By far one of my favorite Ramen places, the only thing is the options, which seem to not always be in stock or available. Every server I had has been extraordinary, and the energy is high class and a perfect place to be if you prefer more of a luxury dining experience . read more

Got take out from here. Food was OK at best and not worth the price tag. To add insult to injury, I was intentionally overcharged on my order. I was charged a substantial tip I didn't authorize. Avoid this unethical business. read more

I'm here for work for a couple of months and staying at an Airbnb in downtown Phoenix so I was super excited to find a ramen place that is within walking distance to me and serves craft beer on tap. I ordered a nice IPA and the general tso tso cauliflower to start off with. The cauliflower on top of the pile was delicious but the rest underneath were terrible. It was so saturated with the sauce that it became like a sponge of sugary sauce. The entire flavor of the cauliflower was lost along with the texture. For the entree, I went with the Tantanmen with added pork belly. I'm glad I ordered more meat because there was basically no ground pork in it. Maybe a spoon full. The pork belly wasn't even that great as it was overly charred in some places and the fat needed to be rendered down more or something. The broth, which is the most important part, was so salty and had very little pork flavoring. I added some lime hoping the acidity would cut the overwhelming saltiness but it didn't :( the noodles were nice and thick but overly cooked. The best part was the soft boiled egg. It was on point. I'm super bummed this place didn't turn out how I expected. At least the service was decent. read more

This food was burnt and taste like black charcoal I paid 49 dollars for two dishes that were burnt Now I don't know if the chefs were in a hurry or just don't know how to cook meat on a grill but it was disgusting not even my dog would eat Don't but taken from here cause they don't know what they are doing Burnt ass steak really that's 101of cooking NOBODY wants to taste charcoal when they eat read more

I finally was able to try Ramen from here. I have been eyeing it for months but no one I know likes Ramen... crazy right! So I went by myself and I am in love!

Unfortunately I've started to avoid here. The food is great and the staff are *usually* awesome. The seating inside is awkward, the QR menu is super janky, and it's loud inside. However, My biggest issue is one employee is just awful to deal with and I refuse to go to this restaurant because he usually ruins the experience. Whether I'm sitting at the bar ordering a drink or at a table with friends he has always went out of his way to be super obnoxious. At first I thought I was just misreading him but once I had friends tell me that he has made them uncomfortable I knew he was the problem. I'm not sure if he realizes how abrasive he is but it's kind of sad that he doesn't. He's either the bartender, manager, or owner because he is ALWAYS at the restaurant. He's a taller man with facial hair and glasses. I think he usually wears a beanie. On one occasion we brought our whole family in. We tried to order sake and instead of asking us which bottle he made a point to bring out the most expensive bottle and then made fun of our food order. He's also messed up our orders multiple times and always refuses to take responsibility for it and instead tries to argue about it. It a bummer because the food and drinks are amazing! But it's just not worth it anymore. read more

I've been here before but a few years back when the ramen wasn't so over priced. I had to use the restroom when we got there and I'm pretty sure the lock broke on the door when I was trying to get in, and I walked in on someone using the restroom. It was so embarrassing not only for me but for the person in there and his gf sitting at the table across from it. Anyways, besides that weird mishap, we ordered our food. We got the spring rolls (they're very small). They were pretty good though and crispy, inside was a bit bland for my taste but I figure that's why they have the sauce. Sauce was good too, just had big chunks of green onion. Our water tasted weird and kind of minty for some reason. Now for the $15 bowl of ramen. I would say spend your money else where because the asian ramen you get in a bag at a grocery store is way more flavorful. We got the chicken Katsu bowl. Chicken was crispy/flavorful (best part) But the broth on the other hand was bland and cold. The noodles were undercooked. They did remake our bowl but by the time they gave it to us, we just weren't as hungry anymore. The server was very nice, so I appreciate that. I just don't think the ramen is worth $15 at all. read more

I've been here before and during Covid. Both experiences were great for me and my friends I went with. The employees were very kind and even when we were the only ones sitting outside, checked up on us frequently. Despite asking for a lot (which we felt really bad for), they were still nice to us and showed no anger. Loved the nachos!!! read more

Salty. Everything was salty. Even I was in a very petty mood after the first few exchanges with the staff. It was such a strange dining experience. Our server was rude. Out of nowhere his demeanor changed completely and he was extremely personable. He provided decent service with refilling waters and asking if everything was ok but his attitude came back often in the hour I was here with my friends. We ordered the Yakisoba, Katsu Ramen and the Tantanmen. Prepared quickly, maybe less than 10 minutes. My friend complained that her noodles were undercooked and her broth had a very salty soy flavor. It was masking the taste of everything else. My other friend said his yakisoba was very bland with no dimensions. Had tons of veggies but all you can taste is soy sauce. My tantanmen was very salty as well. I didn't eat the pork bits in the soup but my friend tried it and she said it tasted funny. I ordered a side of crispy tofu and that was the highlight of the entire meal. (That should say a lot about this restaurant if the best part is basic crispy tofu). The peanut sauce that comes with the tofu was not good. I hated it and I usually love anything with peanuts! There are plenty better ramen restaurants (even in this area). I will consider giving this place another try but not worth the drive or money. read more

I live two mins from here and got takeout I ate basically immediately. This is the first time in my life that I have taken one bite of something and immediately decided it was not worth the money to try to it eat. The texture of the noodles was shockingly bad-- my partner and I both had gag reflexes. We called them and mentioned the issue and the said nothing. I'm literally eating 99 cent ramen with so much relief right now afterward haha. read more

This casual restaurant is in my opinion, more asian fusion with an abundant of delicious sounding options listed on their menu. You can choose what type of noodle you would like in almost every dish listed. We tried the General TsoTso's Cauliflower and found it to be delicious. The slightly sweet sauce was a nice addition. The deep fried Mac & Cheese Ball was just ok - nothing special.The Viet Nom Nom Nom salad was good as well although, we only found 1 kernel of corn in it!! I enjoyed the mushroom Bao buns, but the others in our group did not care for them. The Hostile Takeover with tofu instead of meat was enjoyed by all, but we do wish we had chosen a different type of noodle. We were to full to try dessert, so we will to leave that for another day. Our waitress was very nice, friendly and helpful. read more
