Finally, a nice, inexpensive Japanese soba for those spring, summer days when you are craving for a light healthy meal! I have been here on several occasions after it opened a couple of years ago. Since then, I was sold on the idea of soba, being a healthy addition to the varieties here in Fort Lee.
The layout of the restaurant is very casual: it has a combination of both high tables for a quick in-n-out and the soft seats for a laid-back meal. I always get the soba when I'm here, while I tend to mix up the broth and the meat every so often. My favorite is the duck breast! You rarely have to worry about portion control here – soba is served by the ounces (but you are first offered several standard increments). Being so close to my home, they have really become my go to spot for something healthy and pleasant.
Great option for soba both hot and cold. With winter still upon us, we have only tried the hot soba option. I love that the soba noodles come in 100g portions from small to large. You can start with the small (100g) and just ask for more if you need it. Small was perfect for me! Love not wasting food.
I had the shrimp veggie ball to accompany my hot soba and it was light and crisp. The boy had a combo meal which included a side of sashimi. Our only problem was that the sashimi was straight from the fridge cold. It was remedied by eating the soba and tempura first while waiting for the sashimi to come to temp. Service was great and our tea and water never hit the halfway mark.
Looking forward to trying more off their menu and keeping warm with their hot soba.
Wide variety of options for soba and udon noodles. I got the udon soup with chicken and while it was tasty.. I wish the chicken was left on the side because the outside was soggy from being in the soup. Perfect to satisfy noodle cravings.
Update Review (on a dish I ordered):
Everything that I wrote previously, still applies. Service is still great, ambience is nice and the place is clean.
My update is specifically on the dish I ordered today. I ordered the 鴨南 (Sautéed duck soba). It's under the Hot soba section. It was sooo good!!! I really enjoyed it, especially the broth (which is different from the regular hot soba broth). I think I liked it more than the zaru soba (cold soba), which I had last time. This was perfect for the cold weather too.
This was the first time I went during lunch and they had a special lunch menu with different lunch special depending on the weekday with cut down pricing.
We'll be back!
Great service, great food.
They offer a great variety of menu options. Their soba is definitely one of the best I have had in the area.
They don't have something spectacular I would get every time, but for a quiet, nice meal, it's definitely a great place to come with friends and family.
Good value and portion size for tasty soba.
We had both cold and hot soba. The cold noodles have that elastic texture that helps make soba so delicious while the hot soba was a bit lacking in this regard and a bit soggy right off the waiters delivery.
I think cold soba is the way to go at this establishment.
The taste and broth were good in both. Since the price is the same for 100-300 grams we opted for 300. This makes for a carb heavy meal however, so I recommend ordering some sushi or sashimi on the side if you do this. Speaking of which, it was odd to me that you couldn't order sashimi or sea urchin soba. Maybe I'm spoiled from that place in the lower East side.
Octopus balls had very miniscule amounts of actual octopus.
