Sobaya has such a pleasant and welcoming warmth that won me over the moment I walked through the door. Capturing the quiet business and relaxing atmosphere of a traditional Japanese restaurant, I felt like I was back on the quieter streets of Japan. The staff were very attentive and the food was understated yet excellent. Simple execution with incredible flavor and soul, this hole in the wall delivered everything i was looking for and more. A must visit for anyone looking for an authentic soba/upon meal with a nice variety of sake and other Japanese spirits. 10/10, I can't wait to return ♡

The location is cute, the chicken rice bowl was horrible! The chicken was soggy, the taste bland. The entire bowl was a bunch of blab put together. Disgusting to the point that 15 mins later my stomach hurt so bad that I had to vomit everything out. The server was beyond awful. To claim yourself as a wanna be Michelin star restaurant, they should do a much better job with food quality and service! Do not recommend at all!!!

The food was good, my server did the bare minimal. I forgot to tip After paying the server look at the bill and requested a tip in a very expentant attidue. I tipped and server expected more. Disappointed in the service. Ambiance and food was lovely. Would go back for the food and not the service.

No service at all. They messed up my order after one hour waiting! Not even an apology! Just let us reorder again. Even not explaining. So disappointed

Very clean food, clean flavor and creative. Yuzu soba was really impressive, they keep it pure and simple to make an Accenture with the punch of their dishes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sobaya serves delicious cold soba and perfectly crispy tempura. Fresh, authentic, and beautifully prepared — a true Japanese taste in NYC! 🍜🇯🇵

Loved it, felt like being transported back to Japan. The soba was very tasty, good potion size and lovely atmosphere. Not too loud.
Food is great as usual but the service was a little disappointing. The server was insisting we ordered the wrong item that was given to us, then only take back and change to the correct one. Splitting the bill got confusing but in the end it worked out.

Ordered the tempura soba and the mushroom soba. Tempura fry was not crispy and the shrimp came out rubbery and tasteless (not seasoned). The dipping sauce did not make up for it in terms of flavor. The mushroom soba soup which is a seasonal dish was lacking in richness. The broth was heavy and flat, and the yuzu didn't brighten the dish enough.
Overall, for a place that specializes in soba, I expected a lot more than what I could whip up with soba noodles and store brought dipping broth. This was a disappointment.

The cod fish was absolutely outstanding. I finished every bite, even the soba broth. The space wasn’t too crowded and the servers was nice, which made for a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience.
