Sojo Ramen is a hidden gem, easily underestimated at first glance. While its exterior may not stand out, its a spot you shouldnt overlook if youre in search of top-notch ramen.The interior is charming, though on the petite side. Securing a seat during lunch hours might be a challenge, but if youre fortunate or visit during quieter times, its well worth the effort. Theres no table service; youre guided to your seat by a host, handed a QR code, and youre free to customize your order. Whether youre a vegetarian or a meat enthusiast, theyve got options for everyone.I opted for the spicy miso ramen and loaded it up with all the available vegetables and extra spicy sauce. The result was a delightfully fiery and hearty bowl. Surprisingly, the broth wasnt overly spicy, so every bite was a flavorful journey.Even though its a bit of a trek from my place, Id recommend a visit if youre ever in the area, provided you dont mind a little parking hunt.

We were just wandering the plaza and this was the only place open, literally every other restaurant was closed between 1-5, so screw them. Was just looking to find a non sugary place to hang out and just grab a little something and this place fit the bill. It was happy hour and was able to get 3 appetizers for under $15 bucks and what we got was fantastic. We got some garlic fries, chicken karage, and some crispy fried shrimp, everything came out hot and tasty. Next time Ill come for the Ramen, but it was just a nice place to hangout and eat, I highly recommend this place.

This was my first time coming to this ramen place, and to be quite fair and honest... It was mid. Nothing unique or nothing special about it, to be quite fair.Food: 3.5/5The food was honestly kinda eh - at least for me. My whole family can say otherwise. The size of the bowl for $12.95 was not really worth it -- there wasnt even bamboo included, and the chicken cutlets were an extra $4 each, which easily adds up to almost $20 for a whole bowl. My parents got the tofu noodles, and the texture was pretty good, but the soup was still pretty salty when we had already asked for less salty....Service: 3.15/5It was good, but we would have appreciated it more had the staff actually paid attention to us more, in terms of requests and all that. We had to explain ourselves twice in terms of clarification, which I did not want to do as a customer.Atmosphere: 2.6/5It felt rushed; there were other customers who hit into my chair and never really apologized for it. Nothing much to say here because this restaurant really showed any appealing things.Would I come back here and bring friends to this restaurant? Probably not....Good place for an afternoon snack, but if youre really hungry like I was tonight, probably not the place to go.

Love sojo ramen, my favorite ramen restaurant to go to🍜. I’ve been a customer for almost 3 years and I’m very happy with the food and customer service. Clean place, kind staff, and such a cute little restaurant. I showed this place to family and friends and now they’re hooked onto it as well. Good pricing with a variety of different toppings and noodle choices, along with delicious appetizers. You can order on their Snackpass app and earn rewards or also dine in (I do both!). Definitely recommend supporting this business!❤️

I enjoyed my Tonkatsu Ramen. The broth had good flavor. I paid e tra to add egg and seaweed. I would suggest to skip the seaweed and pay to add more broth.y husband had the curry ramen but didnt like it too much. The chicken was also cooked different. Kind of Buffalo wings style. But I enjoyed mu ramen and yes Id go back. Oh yeah, restrooms were very clean and server was really nice and attentive.

I come here once a month or whenever I find myself in the neighborhood. I am huge on ramen and I must say this is one of my GO-TO places because it doesn’t disappoint. The food quality and service has been consistent in all my visits here. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are a perfect consistency with a beautiful aroma airing out of the Tonkotsu ramen bowl. I’ve tried various of their appetizers and I personally enjoy the gyoza or the takoyaki. Lastly, I always leave with a satisfied feeling with the meal and it’s very affordable. Highly recommend trying it if you love ramen!

My partner and I love coming here when we’re craving some noodle soup. My favourite is to get the curry soup with rice noodles and less salt. Furikake fries are also greatThe ordering system used to allow choosing rice noodles, but last time I went it wasn’t an option and I had to ask the server specifically for it.Would recommend trying it out for the food, but don’t expect stellar service!

Of all the vegetarian Ramens I have had this one was alright. Broth wasn’t super flavorful as other places I have tried. My partner enjoyed some of his food, but said the Pork in his bowl was mainly fat and not so much meat. It was really clean, and relatively a short wait for food. But as a vegetarian, idk if I would go again.

This place is unexpectedly good! We initially want to try the hot pot place in that area, but it was so crowded so we walked around and found this place, gave it a try, and the food was good in general! I had black garlic noodle with thin noodle and marinated egg. A lot of noodles! Talk wasabi was fresh too!

The food is of very little amoujt. No adult can eat full without adding more stuff. Default noodle came without egg or seeweed or any veggie. Only 3 thin pieces of pork.
