The duck shio soba was very tasty. The broth was rich yet not too thick. The buckwheat sprouts add a great texture. Duck was a bit chewy though.
The black truffle curry soba was moderately spicy. The truffle really enhances the curry flavor and the sprouts as a great texture. The broth is rich, thick, and oily. Duck was a bit chewy though.

All the soba tofu dishes were pretty good- I think those were the highlights of the meal. There was a soba tofu appetizer as well as a soba tofu (branded as mochi) dessert.
Can skip soba sushi (we got yellowtail), got the duck (3 ways) shio and the black truffle curry - I think the duck shio is more classic and black truffle curry was more adventurous?
I liked the classic broth better but…. Black truffle curry was def more unique.
Their cucumber wasabi was great!
Pricy meal though.

I was invited there and liked the decors right away. Japanese style drapes at the entrance, very nice arrangements and rooms. This is a soba focused place and I had the duck and Uni (with a touch of truffle) cold soba dish and it was exceptional! Balanced, flavorful, exceptionally clean taste. BTW, buckwheat (soba noodles base) are gluten free. The waitress then told us that the pottery (bowls and tea cup) were all made locally by the chef, making each dish served in a unique manner. I HAD TO see it and ... went on the back. The chef was very kind and explained a bit - of course I expressed that I was delighted. Frankly never went to a place where the food was so good, the decor so unique and the dishes hand made by the chef as well. My overall assessment is that this is a must-go place really (I had such a good vibe).

I LOVE the space, so I was really sad when my soba noodles came overcooked and the togarashi seasoning was way too overpowering for my taste. They also didn’t ask about allergies. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing—I’d be curious to try their cold soba—but $77 for a bowl of soba and soba crackers still feels pretty steep. The ceramic pieces, though, were absolutely gorgeous. sous.

I had some friends who raved about this place. After stopping here, I was won over. The hot duck soba was so delicious! The space is gorgeous and so unique that also showcases the culture of Greenpoint.

Incredible place. Introduced to me by a good friend and was not disappointed. We were treated so incredibly well - excellent service and warm hospitality. Had the umi ikura (cold) soba. Simply devine. Can’t wait to come back!

The duck shio soba hot was wonderful! Maybe the best soba I've tried. The uni cucumber was okay. The uni wasn't as fresh. Love the unique decor of the place.

It doesn’t get better than this! Been to countless restaurants and Uzuki stood out for its next-to-none craftsmanship, amazing food, and lovely atmosphere. Check out Bon Appetit’s video on Uzuki (“A Day Making Some of the World’s Best Soba Noodles”) to see how much skill and artistry goes into these noodles. We got the tofu, salmon ikura cold soba, duck soba, and soba ice cream and every bite of each dish was incredible. Was truly worth every cent! The ceramics they use are also full of character and actually made by the chef himself!
Incredible soba, maybe best I have had in the US. Soba is truly made with care by Chef, and the texture of the noodles is unmatched. Highly recommend

Important to note that this place opens at 12pm on weekdays!! Not 11:30am as on Google Maps or 11:45am as on their storefront. We ended up waiting half an hour, so they gave us a tofu dish as thanks for waiting. Initially they included this in the final bill. Only when we pointed it out after we paid, we were refunded and paid a second time with a discount. We realized after we left that this meant we had to pay tax and tip for this dish that we never ordered. Tip is one thing but not sure where the tax for that is going.
We also received the wrong appetizer even after they came back to our table to double check our order. We ended up just accepting what they gave us because we didn’t want to cause a hassle, but this also raked up the price that we were originally planning the meal to be—and caused some disappointment since I couldn’t get the dish I wanted.
As for the food, the tofu dish was unique and tasty; the salmon in the salmon ikura soba was very fresh. But I don’t think either is worth the price point. The salad soba I had when I first came here was very memorable, but the price rose quite a bit from the already high price point a year ago, such that now it’s pretty exorbitant. As a soba lover, I’d say get your traditional soba elsewhere. The entrees worth trying here are the unique ones, namely the salad soba which actually tastes better than the salmon ikura bowl.
Otherwise, the atmosphere is great. I love the interior and the ceramics are beautiful. My impression of the place overall dropped from when I first visited, though. The place is also basically empty during weekdays lunch, which explains why they don’t follow the earlier open time.

Food was very mediocre and given the prices I expected way more duck. Extremely nice restaurant atmosphere and service, but for 50$, there was 4 slices of duck in a very bitter dashi

This was a magical experience. I truly felt the care and expertise of what went into each meal, not to mention the fact that the chef makes all the ceramics as well. Flavors were well balanced, ambience was chill, relaxed & funky with a lot of artistry around. Our waitress accidentally thought I ordered a yuzu spritzer but just gave it to me anyway which was really kind. Especially for gluten free folks, this is a special spot because they dedicate everything gluten free, which is not normal for most soba noodle dishes. I felt the love in every bite!
