About Sobaya

Sobaya offers authentic Japanese cuisine in a cozy and welcoming setting. Their cold noodle dishes, such as the Chirashi Cold Noodle, include ingredients like soba or udon noodles, fried shrimp tempura, and tofu pockets. The noodles are served with a refreshing cold soy sauce-like broth and garnished with scallions and wasabi. The restaurant also features seaweed salad and tempura noodles, known for their high quality and great taste. The food is simple yet flavorful, and the udon and soba are freshly made on-site.

Customers appreciate the authentic taste and peaceful decor, as well as the attentive and friendly staff. The restaurant has received positive reviews, with one customer describing their meal as a "10/10 experience" and praising the freshness, flavor, and quality of the food. Another customer enjoyed the "lovely texture" of the duck soba and the "amazing" broth, while also commending the "super nice" ambiance and "10/10" service. A larger group was also impressed by the delicious food and excellent service, highlighting the huge shrimp tempura and tasty broth.

However, some customers have noted the small space can feel tight, and there have been a few concerns about the takeout packaging and the occasional rushed experience when waiting for a friend. Overall, Sobaya remains a good choice for a satisfying Japanese meal.
