Sanna WickmanApril 16, 2017The noodles are soo good. Cash only. Lots of vegan options. Will come again ☺️
Daniel SalinasNovember 21, 2014The dip soba is the pro move. No longer will your ramen get soggy in your broth.
Patricia LeeJuly 25, 2015Yummy when you get the right dish. Can be very hit or miss and depends a lot on personal taste.
The stamina soba and hot green tea! Skip the rice ball appetizer please (I forget what it's called exactly).- Simran JaisingAugust 22, 2013Yuba dipping soba. Creamy, hearty, simplicity. Mochi could hold better. I hear wonderful things about their soft tofu.
Andrew LitvakFebruary 28, 2015Delicious, authentic ramen. My friend said to warn you it isn't spicy, if that's your thing.
Cozy up with warm or cold soba. The broth has a soothing effect!
Ames VuongJune 2, 2017Great place for soba, lots of different options - cold and hot. I prefer cold soba.
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenNovember 6, 2014Warm pork kimchee and the chicken curry soba are the bomb. Slurp with Sapporo!
Andrew T.June 3, 2013For first timers, try the dip soba or the cold soba. Good practice of chopstick skills!
Honestly you couldn't go wrong with anything you order, but their dip sobas! ALL OF THEM.
Silken tofu with bonito flakes. Cold ikura oroshi soba with scallion and grated radish is heaven in a bowl.
Josephine SonJune 13, 2012Get the pork kimchi dipping soba! Though wish it was spicier! Make sure to drink the soup after! :-)
Always go large. If you're still concerned about getting your fill of food, order the steamed chicken meatballs.
CarolJuly 31, 2022Good ramen but sometimes they run out of options when they sell out. Not a lot of ramen options, more soba
The key to eating all the soba before the flame goes out is to have 2 bundles of soba in the broth at one time. Always eating one and then reupping it.
Sharon SkDecember 13, 2012Totally delicious kimchee pork soba and silky tofu. Just be hungry because they won't doggie bag ya
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Use of Yuba in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The tofu-skin concoction has you putting it together at your table!
Joanna FlammAugust 17, 2011Ikura oroshi soba noodles (grated daikon, shiso, and salmon roe that pop in your mouth like cool, tiny bubbles).
Bob MatsuokaMay 9, 2012Try the Kimchee Soba - Delicious - worth a trip! Lots of other things I want to try.
Thompson HotelsNovember 17, 2011Take your friends to this authentic Japanese noodle shop and enjoy a delicious and fun interactive meal.
Apurva LimayeJuly 5, 2015Beware of the fact that they take only cash and you can't take your remaining food to go!
erm___February 14, 2014If you avoid the door seat - you're gonna beat the winter blizzard that sneaks through the door when anyone comes in!
Zayed KhanJune 21, 2015It is small and popular,so you might not get a choice, but sit up at the bar if you can, and watch the masters at work.
Chicken meatball is great... and worth getting your tongue burned for. Cold tofu is amazing as well
Selina AngApril 8, 2016If you're the first person to arrive (out of 2), they will make you wait outside, even if there's only 1 diner is in the restaurant.
Erin PettigrewAugust 31, 2011The sesame soba is interactive! You get to mash your own sesame seeds with a mortar and pestle.
Harris SchaerOctober 11, 2012There's a reason they promoted the Bang Bang Ji cold chicken soba from special to main menu status. It's banging.
