Sobaya

If you are a uni fans, you should get cold uni udon/soba in the summer and hot tempera udon/soba in winter. I like to eat in this place. Udon and soba are handmade . Soba/udon very chewy.

Soba here is homemade , fresh, and perfect for a hot summer day. I like to add lots of toppings like enoki, roe , and uni. Get the hijiki salad and tempura to start. Yum!

Special lunch set: shrimp tempura , soba , ikura rice , salad , salmon , stewed eggplant , lotus root , & yam & a mini milk tofu dessert-all for $17! For $3 xtra, get the Fri special cocktail .

Try Uni and grated mountain yam with wasabi and crispy toasted nori , Warm soba , pickled oysters and mountain yam garnished with cilantro and tempura root vegetables & Goma Tofu

The Buta-Kakuni (Braised Pork Belly w/ Poached Egg in Broth) is to die for. The Chawan-Mushi (Steamed Egg Custard w/ Vegetable and Chicken ) is also tasty. If it's two of you, get a seat at the bar .

Everything we had was delicious. Be prepared to wait, the hostess gave us (party of 4) a 30min wait time, ended up waiting an 1.5 hours.

All about the house made soba but don't forget about dessert . The manju is a warm bean filled bun . There's also a dessert with agar jelly , rice dumpling and ice cream that's refreshing.

DUCK HOT SOBA : solid choice. duck comes out slightly undercooked but comes to fruition as you wait to dig in. get it with soba , udon is not as complementary.

Recommend getting any of the more "fatty" sobas . As much as I loved my mushroom soba , the ones with either pork or duck or any type of meat tastes more filling and flavorful.

hot towel to start off your meal! my salmon/salmon roe don lunch set was so endearingly elegant and daintly put together. soba noodles were al dente-ly perf and the salmon made my heart and soul sing.

A bit strange place, but the food is great: I had an eel with rice and it was amazing.

Delicious soba and udon always. I got the hot soba but should’ve gotten cold (in the summer). It’s way more flavorful

Think you know authentic Japanese food ? You know nothing! Dont forget to make a reservation . PS, appetizers are huge! Split like 4-5 with your date and youre all set.

Walking into Sobaya feels like I'm being transported back to Japan. For an authentic and particularly heart-healthy bowl, get the Maguro Tororo soba , cold. (Grated slimy -mmm- mountain yam and tuna )

The lunch specials are great! Always get the sake don that comes with udon or soba . Super worth it

handmade soba noodles have the perfect texture and there are plenty of options for toppings, temperature, etc.

Handmade noodles are a rare find. I'll come back to try the other soba & udon dishes. I had the Chirashi cold soba , small size. I just didn't like the wad of cold spinach .

Love the greentea ice cream-if you like a strong green tea flavor , this is a must have. The sauce they use for the seared tuna steak don is amazing!

Soba soba soba come for lunch and get a set. It's confusing so I'll just say it here: lunch set only comes w a subset of rice / plain noodles .

Expensive, but quality Japanese food . Homemade with good ingredients, the Soba can't be missed! Also try the creamy tofu with green tea salt

Amazing food and be sure to get one of their amazing ice creams with the red bean paste for dessert . And ladies, you must visit the bathroom to experience the supped up Japanese toilet . Weird, I know

Elegant decoration. We tried some udon with interesting vegetables (one was a bit too salty) and some great steamed ravioli . Big but expensive bowls

Uni and mountain yam soba . Super generous uni portion. Add a side of salmon sashimi for extra fishy delishy.

They make their own soba daily. The soba lunchbox specials are delicious and a great way to try a variety of items. They have the best gomae and Japanese omelets . -Malika Ameen, Top Chef Just Desserts

The bento box is a great way to try an assortment of food and they're homemade noodles . The sweet potato is bomb.

Super authentic vibes. Found the curry to be a bit...harsh? Tomago was aiite. For soba lovers only

Tempura is fantastic here. Get the avocado tempura if you want a taste of heaven melting in your mouth!

Get any child soba noodle dish. i ADORE al dente noodles but these kick that to the curb. The texture is fantastic!! They are chewy

The menu is huge and a bit overwhelming but the hot dipping soba w/ shrimp tempura is a good order

Come for the Soba and appetizers , stay for them yelling things in Japanese at you when you come and go (I'm going to assume variants on "welcome" and "thanks")

Tendon (tempura rice bowl ) set comes with soba and miso soup is awesome. Perfect match.

Great traditional soba restaurant with many Japanese favorites as well . Outstanding in every way.

Tried the Uni Soba , pudding ,and honey wasabi ice cream . It was an OKAY experience. I don't love or hate this place. Oh well .

Really authentic Japanese place. Great vegetarian Tendon .

Imho best soba restaurant in NY. Cold soba&udon are delicious, tempura to die for.

Super fresh soba , can't go wrong with any combination of toppings. Wouldn't suggest tempura batter though if you get a tempura appetizer .

Both their cold and hot soba are tasty. I really liked their buta kakuni too (pork belly ).

Get the mixed mushroom soba for the richer flavoured soup , and just add duck on the side for added protein.

Excellent clean Japanese food . Love their early bird special before 7pm. So worth it!

Absolutely one of the best udon places I've been to in the city . They make a mean udon tempura ! Avoid their tofu block appetizer though- it's a strange toothpastey consistency.

Fresh soba and fish is good! What is this "toto washer" everyone is talking about? Go to the restroom and try for yourself. The toilet seat is warm though :)

The best japanesr food I've ever eat!!!! U should try hot soba 's!

Great soba but damn it’s expensive

Go here for the 5:30-7PM M-F dinner special ! Soba is very fresh and so snappy, it definitely gets your attention! The desserts like their homemade green tea or yuzu ice cream make a beautiful ending.

Cold soba in the summer time is the best at this staple soba house in nyc

go for lunch and get the special bento lunch set which comes with tasty grilled salmon , stewed chicken and vege , lightly battered tempura and noodlicious soba or udon . unagi is reccommended!

It's a little expensive for what you get. Service is friendly and efficient and the udon has a nice al dente texture.

This is THE place for Soba Noodles in NYC. We recommend the Soba Salad or Mori with Zaru . Arrive for their early bird special for $18 and enjoy a feast!

UNI COLD SOBA : too much white bubbly stuff. uni and wasabi are a perfect couple.

Great place to go for those cold, winter days. Just had the Kano namba: sautéed duck with soba noodles . The broth is the best part!
