Great deal for NYC. The meal sets are around $30 and depending on what you get, you can get in one set: sashimi, tempura, and a large serving of cold soba. The noodles are made on the premises...and are fantastic. Reminds me of the fresh soba I had in Tokyo.

Authentic soba spot in NYC! I recently came back from Japan, and I was impressed by how close the flavors here are to what I had there. The soba is clearly the star the show and the atmosphere feels cozy and welcoming, almost like stepping into a small eatery in Tokyo. Highly recommend if you’re craving real, authentic Japanese food.

It's been my second time and I was a bit disappointed with the food. I ordered a mini tempura with rice and it was soggy - it came out super fast (faster than the salad my friend ordered) and it seemed it had been fried a while before I ordered. I'm giving it 3 stars just because I had unagi in my first visit and it was good, albeit small. Pictures of both foods below

Feels like we’re back in Japan! Love this spot for its variety of Japanese home cooking and comfort foods from soba and udon to grilled fish, pork cutlet, beef stews and more!

Personally I love the vibe of the restaurant but the food was not as good as I thought it would be. The soba noodle has a great portion to it but unfortunately apart from that nothing really stood out to me. Felt like it tasted about the same as the store bought noodles I made at home.

Personally I think it was ok. The soba tastes bland for me, I guess that’s just how the soba supposed to be. But I feel it’s authentic and refreshing. The sashimi and tempura are fresh. I like the matcha ice cream that comes with the set. The seafood pancake is crispy outside but mushy on the inside. I would prefer it to be more solid.

Been a few times and the soba is not bad. But for real, $15 for a half cup rice and 4 tiny slices of eel?? Definitely not coming back, the quality has gone way down

This is one of the good spots for cold Soba. And the price is reasonable. The vibe is cool feeling in Japan. Will come back to try their hot dishes in the cold season :)

4.5 / 5.0 - Soba Noodle Azuma is an excellent spot for a cold winter day, to warm up your body. They have a wide variety of menu options and everything looked great, so it took me a bit of time to choose.
I walked in for lunch and ordered: - Beef Sukiyaki ($12.50+) - Rice ($3.50+) - Oden Egg ($3+) - Oden Daikon ($3+)
I enjoyed everything and the prices were reasonable for Japanese food in Manhattan. The service was mixed, depending on the staff, but I had a good dining experience overall and would recommend this place for casual Japanese food in the city.

What a fantastic first experience with Soba in New York! Soba Noodle Azuma really hit the spot. We arrived around 5pm and were seated right away, which was a nice surprise. I opted for the beef soba with a medium portion of noodles (you can actually choose your noodle quantity!), and it was delicious. The fried octopus appetizer was a great starter, and the Yuzu Soda was the perfect refreshing complement to the meal. I can't wait to go back and bring my friends!
