- Cooper SmithOctober 1, 2012Like buying a gremlin, the Stamina Soba comes with a specific set of instructions written on an index card. If you follow it correctly, you'll be rewarded with one of the best noodle dishes in NYC
- Mike WinstonJuly 11, 2018So good, yet somehow remains under the radar. The Mera Mera Dip Soba is easily my favorite & it's made even better when they bring out a teapot of Soba Yu to water it down to drink. WinstonWanders.com
- Lizzy SaxeNovember 16, 2014Best soba I've ever had. They also give you a little flame to keep your broth hot, and when you make a soup at the end everything is warm and delicious.
- Apurva LimayeJuly 5, 2015It's a small Japanese restaurant with a lot of healthy options! For someone who is not tried soba noodles before go for warm soba. Warm Japanese style soba with chicken and Mochi ice cream were yumm!
- DinaApril 29, 2014Perfect, healthy, lunch. Handmade soba noodles served cold or hot. Tiny place with a bar and a couple of tables, hard to get in for dinner but usually easy for lunch. Small menu of appetz, a bargain.

- Marie RicherDecember 8, 2016I had the dipping soba with duck breast and chicken meatball. The broth was sooo flavourful and came with scallions and yuzu zest which made it 👌🏻
- Long CaoJune 7, 2012It's a very small restaurant that seats about 20 people at most, so get there early (~5-10 min before open) if it's a busy day. If it's your first time, get the dipping stamina soba, delicious!
- Jeff SolomonNovember 24, 2017Try the kimchee ramen. Was a great balance of spicy and sour broth and delicate pork belly
