Everything I've tried here has been delicious. The menus are adorable and full of fun options to add to your soba.
For the none spicy people try the stamina dip/warm soup great for when you are feeling run down. Save room for dessert.
Daniel AFebruary 9, 2019Get the warm mera mera soba and thank me later 😉 (note: not shown in my picture)
Handmade tofu for appetizer, then stamina soba or chicken meatball dipping soba! Pair it with some junmai sake for dinner.
Jarel HillFebruary 27, 2019Got the Mera mera dip soba. Super super good! Gonna come back and just get the regular one though. Less work lol
Aya NakamuraJuly 8, 2013The cold soba says that it's a dipping sauce, but it was bukake style where the sauce is poured over the noodles. It was a little weird to have takuan as a topping on my noodles...
Bacon mochi comes out more like dim sum turnip cake. Fried chicken is great! Save room for the soba soup at the end
Darshy NJuly 1, 2015Excellent buckwheat noodles. Good sake. Friendly staff. Try the fermented salmon with sake, So good! 🍶 🍣
The cold soba are my favorites here, especially in warm weather. Also the house made fresh tofu app.
The soba noodles with hot dip are the best. The fried chicken appetizer is great too. Cash only.- Sahil KathawalaSeptember 9, 2015The cold soba is a super good hot day meal, and they're soba, broth, protein is really really good.
Adam FlemingOctober 20, 2013Unbelievable value; everything made fresh before your eyes in the open kitchen. Healthy Japanese Home Cookin' never tasted this good
Rob AtkinsonMay 11, 2016Delicious and reasonably priced. Come here when there's a wait at the more fashionable (read: hyped) Soho lunch spots
Village VoiceSeptember 27, 2013If you love thin noodles then you must try the stamina soba, which is cooked in a steaming pork broth.
Thomas PajorMay 2, 2019The soba noodles are fantastic, get the Mera Mera dip soba. It’s also fun to watch the kitchen.
Adrienne LiuApril 30, 2014Mera Mera soba is the best! Mix of spicy, curry, and coconut flavor! Waaaay better than the Stamina soba.
JeffreyJuly 20, 2014Chef-owner Yoshihito Kida amplifies flavor with toppings like pork kimchee, chicken meatballs, and Japanese curry.
The miso coleslaw is so good, you might want two orders.
Pratheeksha KSNovember 18, 2016Great vegan options. Friend said he loved the Miso broth with pork. Cozy and inexpensive
Larger space than the original location, but slightly different menu (no yuba here). New items include Mera Mera dip and Mexican soba.
AdnaMay 19, 2016Limited group seating! Staff is friendly and very attentive. Coming here was a full experience.
CassidyApril 5, 2014Eat at the old location if you can - food is just as good but they don't quite have the aesthetics down (bright lights, blaring music)
Tom VandenbogaerdeSeptember 13, 2016Great place for noodles. Just beware, if the menu says spicy, it really is!
Melissa RheaOctober 11, 2013Mera Mera all the way.. And the silky tofu! Cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend these two dishes.
Christopher LebronJanuary 29, 2016The salmon roe spring rolls were crazy good, and the kimchi was en pointe!
Gabriel Barth-MaronSeptember 6, 2014Amazing hand made soba at a great price. Come for a truly authentic experience.- Order a pork curry dip soba, get a tiny blue volcano absolutely free!
Mera Mera Dipping Soba on a cold day is the best thing ever. But everything else is also ridiculously tasty....
Dan DarouvarSeptember 12, 2016Pork Kimchee Soba! Warm or dipping one! It's the only thing I get here and other dishes don't sound appealing to try.
Aiah WiederOctober 13, 2013Pork and okra croquettes to start, and kimchee pork soba (hot)—mochi for dessert.
Order a Kyona salad, chicken meatballs, a Mera Mera dip soba and a Mochi.
Open late, very authentic, cash only. MUST TRY the green tea affogato.
Ben MackeyAugust 13, 2014If it is busy don't wait for the staff - put your name down on the clipboard at the door immediately.
Siena ChiangOctober 11, 2012Same delicious menu and great service as the first, tiny location with less of a wait and beer and sake!
Soba capital of the city. The curry dip will pull you out of any unpleasant state of being.
Melissa ChienSeptember 14, 2013Always get the large portion, lest you pay an extra $6 when you realize you want more soba.
Best soba in the usa. Get anything, it's all amazing.
So happy they opened the Nolita location. Try the pork curry or pork Kinchee dip soba.
