ShirpsMarch 30, 2016Soba has great texture. The tempura and egg rolls are popular choices. I had the chicken soup which had a really nice broth. The noodles make the dish. Come before 6pm to avoid the queue.

ChristineMay 15, 2018Last night I ate at a Michelin-rated restaurant & my meal was delicious. Tonight I ate the buckwheat soba noodles with soy & sesame sauce here, and *this* is the place I want to return to. Loved it.Upvote3Downvote- J LAugust 21, 2015My go-to soba spot. Great ambiance, tasty soba. I usually get the goma-dareh (sesame dip) soba, fat noodles for maximum goma surface area.

JasminDecember 1, 2016Being GF, this place is amazing. 100% buckwheat soba noodles which taste clean yet are full of flavour. Omelette and veggies in stock for starters and prefer cold soba with sesame and soy dips.

Rossella FerrandinoAugust 17, 2018This restaurant specializes in soba, both cold and warm. We had the sampler menu, with soba and two sauces (soy sauce and sesame). At the end they bring hot water for your soy sauce - enjoy as soup!

Kevin LieberApril 28, 2015This place exceeded expectations! The environment was excellent and exuded beautiful Japanese elegance. Sesame dipping sauce for Thin soba was a great decision. Also the miso paste /mixture was great

BommySeptember 3, 2017Around a 30 minute wait at 8:30pm. First trial buckwheat noodles are the way to go. Cold sesame sauce is amazing. Choose thin noodles and def get tempura.

Matilda ForsOctober 1, 2019The soba noodles are beautifully prepared. Try them with cold sesame sauce or hot duck soup. Go for the a la carte menu as well, the omelet is great. For drinks, I recommend plum wine on the rocks!Upvote1Downvote- SuYeone JeonMay 19, 2017LOVED everything about this restaurant! The sesame dipping sauce was delicious and so were the tempuras and tamago. I personally liked the thin noodles.Upvote2Downvote
Arjan TimmermansNovember 29, 2015Delicious soba noodles. Quaint, authentic Japanese restaurant. There may be a short line when you arrive, but a little wait is worth the experience. Highly recommended.

So good, my favorite soba in Tokyo. I recommend getting the larger cut 'futokiri' soba with sesame dipping sauce, divine.

N SJune 15, 2017Favourite soba place! Always ppl waiting to get in but worth waiting for it. Not only tasty homemade soba, sides are good too. Nice customer service is a plus :)Upvote1Downvote- MichaelOctober 21, 2017Americans! If you’re confused about why they give you hot broth, you pour it into your soy dipping sauce once you’re done with the soba to make a nice hot soup.Upvote2Downvote
Colin LeeMarch 27, 2016Long line (40 mins) for soba at 2 pm! I got the thick type of soba; looking back, I should have ordered the skinny type of soba. Sesame sauce is amazing and uniqueUpvote1Downvote
Måns Örn RanungOctober 1, 2019I ate the soba with duck soup, my girlfriend ate soba with sesame sauce. Both were delicious! Also order some tempura and omelette from the ala carte.Upvote1Downvote
Kevin GrantApril 6, 2016This place is easy to miss - The entrance is on a side street, not on the main street.

Heather RodriguezMay 19, 2019Beautiful spot, great prices, but their food was a bit bland. Its definitely overrated.Upvote1Downvote1
Janie C.November 15, 2018I came here for the gluten-free, buckwheat-only soba noodles but they said they didn't have anything without wheat, so I think they no longer have the gluten free noodles.Upvote1Downvote2
