Sugidama Soba & Izakaya offers a unique dining experience with a variety of Izakaya offerings that are hard to find elsewhere. The restaurant is known for its great food, efficient service, and a good range of sake, making it a popular choice for both casual and more special meals. The fried appetizers, such as karaage and soft shell crab, are delicious, and the hot soba soup with shrimp and grated vegetables tempura is elegantly served and tasty.
Highlights from recent visits include the DragonBall appetizer, purple sweet potato tempura, and inventive sushi. Guests enjoy the fast service and well-priced dishes, along with exquisite dishware that enhances the presentation. The restaurant has outdoor seating, which customers hope continues, especially in the summer. Even with a slight wait at the hostess station, the overall experience remains enjoyable. Standout dishes like ankimo topped with salmon roe and caviar, and yellowtail crudo topped with uni, are highly recommended. The restaurant's ability to accommodate large groups quickly, such as a nine-person table in just 30 minutes, adds to its appeal.
