SOJO Ramen

"Ramen noodles were hard. Soup tasted like the soup broth made from chicken power and very salty even I ordered less salt. No tea. No human service or waitress came to check on you. I am not sure if Japanese chefs heard all of this or shared this with my friend and family in Japan. I think they will be shocked as me."

"Sojo Ramen is a hidden gem, easily underestimated at first glance. While its exterior may not stand out, it's a spot you shouldn't overlook if you're 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 you're fortunate or visit during quieter times, it's well worth the effort. There's no table service; you're guided to your seat by a host, handed a QR code, and you're free to customize your order. Whether you're a vegetarian or a meat enthusiast, they've 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 wasn't overly spicy, so every bite was a flavorful journey. Even though it's a bit of a trek from my place, I'd recommend a visit if you're ever in the area, provided you don't 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 I'll 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: 3.5/5 The 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 wasn't 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: 3.15/5 It 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: 2.6/5 It 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 you're really hungry like I was tonight, probably not the place to go."
