Soba Ichi is a Californian-style Japanese restaurant serving handmade stone-ground soba noodles in Edomae soup. The atmosphere is comfortable and connected to a garden, providing a relaxing environment. The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive, making diners feel at home. The menu features special dishes like duck and tempura appetizers, with the cold soba noodles with shrimp tempura being a popular choice. The hot broth soba with sliced rare duck breast is flavorful, although some find the noodles slightly overcooked. The broth is well-balanced and comforting, not too salty. Customers have praised the fresh and delicious sashimi appetizer, as well as the tasty omelette, hot soba with shrimp tempura, and hot soba with duck dishes. The grilled duck and meatballs is a dish to not skip. The nanban with rare duck and an exquisitely balanced broth was the stand out. The soba cha at the end was the perfect touch. It is a hidden gem with great service and delicious Japanese cuisine.
