Michael BraxenthalerJuly 8, 2017We found more than a soba place: a genuinely authentic Japanese restaurant covering the whole gamut from excellent appetizers over soba and sashimi to the best Japanese desserts we had in a long time.
Ruby AnayaMay 23, 2016Cute new soba spot in East Village. The noodles are fresh and the broth was clean. Come in a group of 4 to get one of the sweet private booths in the front.
Ha-ti NguyenOctober 24, 2016absolutely loved. soft shell crab, nameko soba (best soba ive had yet!), wagyu sashimi & the freshest maguro toro sashimi. melt in your mouth goodness.
Emily WilsonDecember 12, 2016Yakitori, agedashi tofu, hot soba with duck were all very good, but the atmosphere is quite sterile and lifeless. It's perfect for diners looking for quietude and privacy; very traditionally Japanese.
Bin YangSeptember 15, 2016Overwhelming number of appetizers but once you make up your mind they're all really good! The soba is very well done and the portions are generous. p.s. They use real wasabi here!
Elizabeth BursteinAugust 22, 2019Sashimi is awesome and fresh. Soba is good, I got the uni caviar one with black squid soba. Not super tasty as I thought. I’d try the go-something one with sesame next time. Green tea crepe cake nom!
Mari TalaiApril 30, 2016Best soba in New York City! Everything is fresh, delicious and the ambiance is chill. They also make the famous RAIN DROP CAKE - you must try the magic ✨👍✨👌
Ernesto GutierrezFebruary 13, 2019Modern, simplistic decor. Enjoy an amazing Japanese fare over some jazz music on the speakers. The duck sobe is a must. The jimae tofu is a delicious build it yourself kit for those who enjoy tofu.
Interesting soba and sushi place. Odd that it's not specialized, but I can at least vouch for the soba being excellent. Curious about the sushi omakase counter in the back.
Kim PhamMay 20, 2016Best soba I have ever had. If you're feeling decadent, order the sushi & soba prix fixe!
Hannah NicdaoApril 30, 2019Gorgeous restaurant and high quality sushi. Large portions make the price worth it!
Saarim ZamanDecember 21, 2016Traditional Japanese spot, the quality of the soba is excellent, the vibe not so much.
Brian StraussMay 5, 2016Excellent soba joint. Delicious sashimi. Sit at the bar and let the bartender handle the sake selection.
EileenJuly 29, 2017Sushi lunch special with cold soba was delicious. Don't be tempted by the udon, get the soba!
EricAugust 19, 2016Super legit. Katsu, soba, and sashimi were perfectly prepared, service was great.
Tianqi LiaoNovember 7, 2017Splurged on the eel over rice but wasn't worth it. The dessert menu was heavenly, do not go without trying one of them.

"One of the best bakeries I've been to in NYC. Their apple band tart is divine. Get there early when their baked goods are fresh out of the oven."

"Desserts with an Asian twist, the choices are hard to resist. Go for the tapas option and order 3 or more. The Chocolate Green Tea Lava is one of the best, and the Green Tearamisu is creatively tasty."
