    This is seriously a gem on Roosevelt! I have almost tried everything on the menu and I love it all. My husband swears by the Mic Drop! It’s a meat packed ramen that is not for the weak appetite. I love the appetizers ( I am a appetizer person) the fried tofu in sweet Chile sauce is the best tofu in town hands down!!! The pork belly Bao and the mushroom Bao I have to have every time we go. The calamari is light and tastes amazing and the sweet with it is nice! The wings are phenomenal, I have not had anything bad there. The drinks are soooo good and the old fashioned with ginger is not a miss. Go there, eat, laugh, enjoy and support a wonderful small business with huge flavor!

    Is it a good bowl of noodle? Absolutely. Would I call it ramen? Debatable. We visited late at night around 10pm, which is one of great things about this place. They have an online platform where you can customize and place orders, but we dined in. The noodle bowls. They are really creative with the toppings. We both ate as they serve without any changes. Interesting thing about this place is that they have different types of noodles- mine came with an udon noodle and the other one with rice noodle. Neither of the dishes would I consider “ramen”, however. For example, mine had a copious amount of Kimchi as one of the toppings. I was amazed at how good the Kimchi was (they say it is house made- even more amazing). With udon noodles and the overpowering kimchi flavor, though, I wouldn’t call it a Japanese style ramen. Nonetheless, our visit was satisfactory. I enjoyed my bowl of noodle soup. I am willing to try different dishes they have, but I wouldn’t visit to get my Japanese ramen fix.

    Extremely hot!! The air was not on. We are in Arizona, I should not have had to fan myself while I’m eating. I couldn’t eat comfortably because of how hot it was, and I ordered the Udon which made everything much hotter. This is a huge problem that needs to be addressed. I will not be returning because of how hot it was! The cook was practically sweating while preparing the food. The water they brought to the table had no ice and was from the sink. The drinks had about three ice cubes in them and I had to ask for an extra cup of ice just to cool down from how hot it was. The food was okay, nothing special and definitely not worth the money I spent. The service took forever.

    This place was pretty amazing. The food came out fast and delicious. They have this dish called sweet chili calamari. That is amazing. I didn’t leave a single piece behind. If you ever find yourself at this location, I highly recommend you try that dish. You won’t be disappointed.

    The wife and I hit this place on our way to the Art Museum and it was delicious! We started off with pork belly now buns. The buns were fluffy inside and crispy on the outside, the pork belly was flavorful and tender. The wife ordered the gyoza ramen and I ordered the mic drop. The noodles in both we delicious, the broth was flavorful. Her dumplings were crispy and well seasoned and mine just like the menu promised was loaded with meat, from pork belly to carnitas, ham and even bacon. We will definitely be back.

    Delicious hidden spot, about the only thing in Phoenix I liked in my 2 days here, delicious & they don't skimp on the pork. Great price and nice atmosphere, would love to come again.

    I called to place an order for Pick Up for 5 of my friends at work and I was put on Hold, which meant the phone was placed on bar counter as I could hear talking and restaurant noise for 20 minutes before I gave up. I hung up and tried to call back after 10 more minutes only to get the obvious busy signal. Thsnks for letting us know that you are opposed to Call In and Take Out orders. Thanks for zero explanation of the your situation when we called from our busy work place to order food. I guess we will support different food restaurants on Roosevelt where we work.

    I visited SoSoBa again in January 2020 and while I was still annoyed about my original experience, my 2nd turn was much better. The food and drinks are phenomenal and the staff I interacted with were friendly and kind. Maybe something changed but this place did a 180 on the customer service front. The review below was from my 1st experience. Please note I did not try the food at SoSoBa but I really wanted to try the Ramen. However, my experience upon entering this establishment led me to not order any food and give SoSoBa a negative review. How you define what an outside food or beverage is, will determine how you feel about this review. Is a plastic bottle or reusable bottle the same thing or different. I carried with me a 1/2 empty bottle of water or should I say half full, specifically the Dasani brand. Upon placing it on the bar, I was told that it would not be allowed and I had 2 options, either throw it away or finish it outside. I took it outside but I was perturbed by this request because it is Arizona and water is life. Typically, an open bottle of water is denied at airports or major sporting events but regardless I complied but did voice my displeasure with my friend at the bar which was overheard by a staff member who attempted to address the situation. It was rationalized by the staff that Health code was strict and they needed to comply. Next to me was a gentleman who had just finished his meal and possessed a reusable bottle. He even requested his bottle get filled up with ice before his departure. I questioned why a reusable bottle of water was not considered outside food and beverage and was told it's the same policy. At this point I lost my appetite and now SoSoBa has a 1 star rating. So for the readers at home I ask if there is a difference between a plastic bottle of water or reusable, specifically as it relates to outside food and beverage? I will note, I visited two other bar/restaurants shortly after this incident occurred and received no resistance from staff. I'm happy to apologize if I'm wrong and change this review but until such time this review stands. Perhaps it is based on the judgment of the staff and they seemed to have a better relationship with the gentleman with the reusable bottle. Perhaps if they knew I drive a Prius and hung dry my clothes, then they might forgive me for my plastic bottle faux pas. Personally, I think they were just doing their job as required by management but make exceptions for others which is unfair. A reusable bottle is still a bottle and allowing one customer to have it while denying another seems unfair to me. If there is a specific clause in the Health Code which allows or favors reusable items then I need to be made aware of this but as I see it, this is bupkis!

    This review is about the food ONLY. SoSoBa used to be my favorite ramen spot, but recently I’ve noticed a huge change in the quality of the food. The chicken (from the Katsu dish) is dry, which I can live with. But the ramen noodles are inedible. They are gummy and mushy, almost like raw dough, and they stick together in a big chunk at the bottom of the bowl. Maybe it’s their preparation procedure due to covid? Like they let the noodles sit in the soup too long? I noticed this once a few weeks ago but decided to give them another chance, because everyone has off days. But again I had the same problem. I hope they fix this soon, because this place is truly a gem. PS chill staff and great atmosphere. Please read this and fix the noodles!

    Called in and ordered normally...except for when she told me my 3 bowls of Ramen was $56, I thought that was a bit expensive but still wanted to give this place a try. My bf picked up the order and there was three waitress sitting behind the counter doing nothing. I later checked the recipe and saw a additional charge of $8.10 which we did not add. I normally tip if I have the money but it's the end of the month my bills just got paid so I can't spend too much on tips. My bf called the restaurant asking them about the additional charge and they stated that it's a requirement for only take out and online order because there is no one in the restaurant and it helps keep business running, also added in that if we want NEXT TIME call and say we don't want to tip....how was I suppose to know if u just added it without telling us. We ended the phone call and tried the food and that's what made me write a review. They put the broth with the noodles, which most restaurants know not to do because the noodles will soak the broth and get soggy. Lucky I was eating this as soon as I got to where I needed to be but in other people's case that could have ruined the whole meal. The bok choy was not freshed or clean, seems like the just chopped it up and threw I all together in a bin. A few of my orders were missing ingredients(the people who ordered that may write their own review about their food). The prices was definitely not worth it for the food and quality.

    Came with some friends and the staff were so chill and nice. Service was fast and the place was clean. They played anime music and I very much enjoyed it. The food was really good and I loved the melon crème soda

    Good but pricey. The pork belly bao has a nice crunch. The micdrop udon was tasty with pleasantly soft noodles. Service can be on the slower side since they are not fully staffed but being patient is key.

    This place is absolutely PHENOMENAL. The vibes are laid back and inviting, and the staff is really nice. Now let's get to the food. The FOOD! I got the Katsu ramen, and let's just say I blinked twice and the food was GONE. I checked and I didn't toss it on the floor, so l must've ate it all 😂. Shout-out to Dillon. Cool dude and gave great suggestions!

    Really disappointed because I always go to the flagstaff location when I’m in the area so I was really excited to try the Phoenix location. I ordered online picked up and came to my hotel room. It wasn’t until I got here that I noticed that I had been giving very little broth for my food which is really disappointing since the noodles and toppings were fantastic but the ratio was really off.

    Great bar and noodle joint. Super friendly staff, great food, some good rotating beers on tap and it's open late! Couldn't be happier with my experience there. Definitely will be back. I had the mic drop (tonkatsu) with ramen noodles and spicy pork broth and loved it.

    Went to order take out. Mandatory tip is added to all orders online. Checkout page has the mandatory tip built into fees, then has another tip field you can edit. So, they force you pay for a mandatory tip of nearly 20%, then ask you to add another tip on the checkout page that doesn't itemize your invoice hoping you add another one. Sorry, but a tip is for good service and shouldn't be forced for takeout. Let alone to ask for a second tip after adding a mandatory one. Abandoned order.

    Food was basic and plain, beef was super salty, katsu chicken wasn't fresh, noodles were bland, soup wasn't that good. One bowl wasn't enough and was too expensive for the portion, if I ordered another bowl then I would have been 90% full. Bowls should be easily under $10 and not $15

    Excellent ramen and other choices here. Was most highly-rated East Asian place in Dowtown PHX on Yelp. My dining partner had ramen, I had the Triple Pork Fried Rice and Shishito Peppers. Delish.

    Everything was too salty but otherwise crunchy and delicious. The mochi was fantastic, as well as the drinks. service was chill, certainly a college vibe. It would be nice if the kimchi were cut up on the tostada so it could be apart of every bite considering the textures.

    Friendly service and amazing food! Definitely recommend the pork belly bao buns and all of the ramen. SoSoBa is also one of the only places with becherovka (highly recommend this Czech aperitif as is [tastes like Christmas] or in cocktail form via Tea & Oranges). A local favorite I am always coming back to.

  • 5/5 Henley J. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice experience. I had the tantanmen ramen and it was delicious. I highly recommend.

    The place was very beautiful, the workers are nice and make it very friendly, and the food is so deliciously good.

  • 5/5 Robin Thomas V. 4 years ago on Google
    Cute little Bao spot in downtown PHX. I have been here twice and their Pork Belly Bao blew my mind away. Had the Fried Cauliflower which was awesome too. I have had much better Shishito Peppers in other restaurants and so I would not call it their sweet spot...

  • 5/5 McKenzie W. 4 years ago on Google
    First time coming here, we were a late night group, 6 of us on the patio with a dog! We were a handful, with several different checks. Our server was on top of his game, I wish I would've caught his name. The inside was very pretty, artsy, and perfectly clean. I'm not very familiar with the type of cuisine offered (mostly ramen dishes, unusual to me) but I split something with my date, and it turned out really delicious. Everyone else said their dishes were great too. Also, try that cucumber lemonade!

  • 4/5 Stella M. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice spot for late night eating. Cool ambiance. The fried cauliflower was delicious. Also ordered the Katsu Ramen Bowl and SUV.

  • 5/5 Michael A. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious ramen and appetizers. Only dined in once but will make the effort to come back as soon as COVID is over with. Hope you guys survive during this trying time.

  • 4/5 Virginia M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to come to for food at night. The vibe is chill and staff is friendly. Wait time to get my food wasn't long at all and in case you drop ur chop sticks you don't have to ask for another pair cause they have a bunch of chop sticks and napkins in a cup. I liked it, the ramen was good too. Different from what I'm used to but good.

  • 4/5 Lila M. 3 years ago on Google
    My top spot for quality Ramen. Don't fret if it's busy, it is worth the wait. Service treated us so nice. This place has a nice design.

  • 5/5 Jacob C. 3 years ago on Google
    This place knows how to do a Tonkotsu ramen. Ordered The Mic Drop and enjoyed every bite of it. Next time I'll try The Mic Drop with ramen noodles instead of the standard udon and I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much.

  • 5/5 Alfy_G 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Daniel G. 3 years ago on Google
    had a fantastic bowl of ramen here. ordered it with tofu and it comes deep fried which was delicious. have also had the udon noodles which were slightly sweet and tasty as well. will be back.

  • 5/5 Janelle H. 3 years ago on Google
    If I could give this place more stars I would by far one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. You not only get the best food and drinks here but the service is outstanding not only from the host but even from the cooks themselves, they really are phenomenal. Anytime I’m having a bad day I know I can come to Sosoba sit down and enjoy myself and what I love most is that the food is beyond perfection serves hot ready never missing anything honestly if I were to move out of state I would drive or fly just to come to sosoba that’s how amazing this place is.

  • 5/5 Briana B. 3 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I just moved to Arizona from Chicago and have tried all the ramen spots that people claim are “amazing.” We came to conclusion that Arizona doesn’t know what real ramen taste like until we stumbled across this place around 1am one night. Best ramen so far!

  • 5/5 Corey S. 4 years ago on Google
    Stumbled upon this spot and wasn't up for the loud, packed atmosphere so I had to forego the cocktail menu, which did look enticing. That said, the Mic Drop ramen bowl I carried out was fantastic. Just the right amount of chewiness in the thick udon noodles, just the right softness to the egg, and more kinds of pork than I can remember, plus kimchi. Seriously fabulous. It was served plenty hot and could easily have fed two. But who would want to share?

  • 5/5 Bradley H. 4 years ago on Google
    Various aspects of this restaurant have been named "Best of Phoenix" over the last few years and those awards are well-deserved! The food is fresh, tasty, authentic - all with a few special tweaks by the chefs. Be sure to get the cauliflower ... cooked to perfection with a slightly sweet sauce that makes it tasty for sure - even for folks who typically don't like cauliflower. Lots of noodles variety with different levels of spice/heat. The drinks ... oh, my ... any kind of Saki you want, plus mixed drinks made with extra care and flair. Service is quick, personal, attentive and friendly.

    I don’t like to give bad reviews but it was tasteless and it was also our first time in the place so we didn’t knew the menu and they just push us to order... we didn’t know they have like a Sauce bar we could use... we end up paying and leaving without finishing our food :( and hungry.

  • 3/5 Graham M. 3 years ago on Google
    Chic place with friendly staff, decent liquor selection, and bottled/canned beers alongside rotating taps. Overall, I'd describe this as non-traditional ramen, and that's all right, except I feel like I dishes are trying a little too hard. The balance of a ramen experience is lost in the addition things like bacon alongside panko chicken and cold carrots in the case of one of the bowls--just too much. It overwhelmed the brightness that usually accompanies a miso base. I think not would be very cool if this place offered a more traditional offering, as I'd guarantee that would add a star to represent the experience.

  • 5/5 Thomas S. 3 years ago on Google
    Best ramen in AZ, period. Sosoba Flagstaff has gone downhill with force and velocity, but the Phx one still is good.

  • 5/5 Kei A. 3 years ago on Google
    Their Tantanmen ramen is one of the best spicy ramens I’ve had outside of Japan. As someone who considers ramen as they’re favorite food, I’ve had a hard time venturing to other ramen spots in Phoenix because we love Sosoba’s Tantanmen so much! There were a few bowls I’ve had that weren’t as good as the others but they’re almost always consistent.

  • 5/5 Andri O. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Donna S. 3 years ago on Google
    Stopped by for a light and early dinner. The food was good and our server was very kind and accommodating with our dietary needs. My only issue was that they sat us in the bar area on bar stools with 4 year old. She kept slipping and one had to keep their hand on her at all times to keep her from falling. We asked to be moved but were told that we couldn't because too many people would be together, even though we were all together in the bar section...

  • 4/5 918 S. 3 years ago on Google
    Very trendy place. Clean and nice looking. The food was good. We ordered the katsu chicken. I was a little disappointed only having four small pieces of chicken in it but I'm sure that was just a fluke. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because we were pretty uncomfortable sitting at the bar stools. We had the long table as you can see in the picture.. it's seated eight people. You can also see that my 3-year-old granddaughter is sitting on a bar stool at the table. After we ordered the food I asked if we could move to the other side of the restaurant where there's just tables and put two tables together over by that wall where you see the red x. I was told no we can't have that many people sitting at the tables over there.... That didn't make any sense to me because by moving to tables together we would have been about 15 ft from anybody else and it would have been seating the same amount of people we were sitting at with this long table on bar stools that were uncomfortable with a 3-year-old 4 ft up in the air. During our whole one hour meal I had to have one arm around her so she wouldn't fall backwards onto the ground. They said they weren't allowed to place a somewhere else to regulations... I think some simple common sense should have been exercised here. That's just my opinion.

    Awesome environment and selection of food, even the ramen was kid friendly. Good selection of beers that focused on local brews. Tried the calamari appetizer, my son liked it and I had the Mic Drop with ramen. Lots of meat variety with enough broth taste and a little spiciness. Definitely returning to try the other options.

  • 5/5 Mediya P. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is incredible! I went here for lunch with my best friend :D We ordered the Gyoza, Bao Buns (with pork belly), and the sweet chili chicken. Everything was 10/10! The buns were soooo juicy and so soft! They come with some type of sauce on top, but the bread is sooo good and soft! We loved those, very filling. The sweet chili chicken is packed with flavor! Nothing too spicy and really crunchy. So delicious, we both loved that one too. You get 6 gyoza which was perfect for splitting and we loved the sauce it comes in! For drinks, I tried the watermelon sangria and white linen! The watermelon sangria was good, it was on the sweeter side. I loved the chunks of watermelon inside :D the white linen drink was light, refreshing, and pretty. My best friend got the June rose and their mule. The june Rose was pretty and also delicious. It comes with like a foam on top, it’s really really good. We sat at the bar and met Nikki! She was very kind and down to earth. We like that she’s tried many of the drinks because she helped us pick out ours and we loved that she spoke so highly of the place and how much she loved working there! We’re excited to go back, I wanna try the piña colada and ramen next time! :)

    The food is always delicious! I had the TanTanMen and it was amazing! Spicy, balanced, and just the right portion amount. The noodles have a good bite and flavor, never overdone. I tried the Kyoto Matcha IPA and it was fantastic! Notes of floral, a bit bitter then into matcha flavor and finishing with floral notes again. I highly recommend everything here. The atmosphere feels cozy and nice.

    I've been here many times. I can't tell you how good this food is. Katsu Chicken Ramen is my favorite, and the Gyoza ramen is really good too. Or just enjoy the gyoza separately. Be sure to try the shishito peppers and bao!

    This was my first experience with Ramen bowls. I enjoyed the new experience with a Katsu bowl. Appetizers are very very good!

    This place is really a vibe. It’s nice they’re open till midnight. They had great music playing inside too. The prices, expect to pay like $16 or so for an entree. The food was flavorful. I’d say it’s definitely all on the salty side, my only complaint is someone who doesn’t like salt as much might have an issue.

    Came here during a lunch hour and service is fairly quick. You need to scan a barcode to place your order. I don't normally eat Pork but I had to try the Pork belly bao and it was delicious. Well-seasoned meat, and warm and toasty bao bun (that was my favorite part). I'm definitely not a vegan, but I always gravitate to my green sauces, so I had to try the Mothra. Udon noodles in a green curry sauce, broccoli, marinated fried tofu, peas, bok choi, mint, Thai basil, and fried garlic. WOW. Super delicious, all flavors packed a punch, and noodles were fresh and just the right amount of chewy. They didn't fall apart once you got to the end of the bowl. Everything stayed hot down to the last bite.

    Ramen: ⭐️⭐️ We had the mic drop ramen and udon. The broth taste good but it was on the salty side, I couldn’t finish everything because it was just too much... Chili chicken & fired cauliflower: ⭐️ WAY TOO SALTY. We actually had to complain with the waiter because we can’t even eat these without chucking water, I feel like the chef must added at least a gallon of salt in these to make them taste like this. And I been to tons of ramen shops around town…everything in this place just seems way too salty. Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our waiter was amazing, she was very friendly and served us well, I like the atmosphere in this place too but I’m just not sure about the food. Overall I do not recommend this place, if you like heavy salty savory food then maybe, but since I got a dry and swollen throat (yes from eating too much salt) the same day of dinning from this place, I probably won’t come back 😂

    I was here for the restaurant portion of the bar. The set up is very nice and inviting. The waiter was attentive enough but I prefer a little more. The food tasted and looked fabulous but wasn't quite enough for me. The pricing also wasn't very transparent. It was one of those digital menus but it didn't say that it was half off at happy hour. $16 for the bowl would be too expensive but $8 is certainly worth the try. I also ordered a side of broth for $5 but the bowl was only a third full so it was a bit disappointing. Overall, I'm happy I went and next time I'd know when and what was worth it.

    I would definitely recommend this place if you're around Downtown Phoenix. I tried the Gyoza Ramen and Ball of Fire. I was a bit underwhelmed by the Ball of Fire but the Ramen made up for it.

    Ok so this place was amazing. They start you out with a large container of water which is amazing if you’re looking to hydrate. I ordered the mic drop ramen and added 3 gyoza to it ($5) and one egg(1$). The end result was amazing. I’ve never had gyoza in my ramen but this place showed me that it is definitely worth trying. Overall great ramen place if you are in the Phoenix area. Come here!!

    Good food, lousy service. In the patio, I waited we’ll over 15 minutes for service. I finally grappled a waiter & told him I wanted the spring rolls & a lemonade. He brought me water. A waitress brought my rolls but no lemonade. So, I mentioned it to her and she brought me one. After I finished that drink, a difference waiter brings me another lemonade. I thought it was just a refill. When I got the bill, after waiting a long time, they charged me for 2 lemonades. I should have said something right then and there, but I wanted to get on with my evening.

    Always had good experiences except for the last time. New waitress was pretty rude and make sure you ask for Ramen... which u would think is the default choice... 🤔

    Services is bomb here, everyone is so chill, such a good vibe. Atmosphere is definitely mellow, not a place for a fancy restaurant. Food is amazing. Wings are top 3 best wings I've had in all of AZ. Probably top 2. You HAVE to try them, like off the fall off the bone tender and delicious. Ramen is to PRIME, I had the katsu and it was amazing, I would def recommend!! Place is definitely a new go to in Phx.

    Best ramen I’ve ever had so far. The broth was so flavorful and so was the rest of the dish. Our server was attentive and the atmosphere was a vibe. I would come here again

    Walking in 12pm new years eve staff was friendly glad they were still open and very sarcastic (in a good way 👍) service was fast in a kindly manner, tables and floor were a bit dirty but kept up impressed with the taste of the ramen they have and the gyoza, Would go for the share-ables here they are worth it ✌️
