This is such a quaint spot. Very welcoming. It feels like your going to have a home cooked meal. Vegan options labeled and Staff is knowledgeable on dietary restrictions. Menu seems to change on a whim because of the homestyle nature of the place,but there's always options. For vegans and non-vegans alike. It's a one-person show it seems as there's a walkie talkie at the door so you can announce your arrival to the chef but it's evident she really puts a lot of care into the food and overall experience. It's not your stereotypical Japanese (no hibachi/ sushi) just delicious authentic home style Japanese cooking which is a must try in my opinion.

I think this restaurant is run entirely by one (1) person. She would like it if you call before arriving.
Fresh, well prepared food. Vegan options are limited but good and well marked.
I've been told by a Japanese guy that the food is, in fact, very authentically Japanese home cooking.

Soy feels like a warm hug. It's the kind of place where food is served with such care that it restores your faith in the world. At Soy, patience is essential (signs throughout remind you not to rush), but Etsko serves such well-crafted dishes that makes it worthwhile.
The Hiya Yakko and Niku Jaga were standout favorites. After dining at several upscale restaurants during our Woodstock getaway, my wife declared the Niku Jaga as her most satisfying bite. For such a small establishment, Etsko offers an impressively curated sake selection. When weather permits, the back porch seating creates the perfect dining atmosphere.
The restaurant has its quirks (walk-ins aren't encourage) so calling ahead is essential. But the deeply satisfying food makes the effort worth it.

Absolutely lovely place! Everything is done by one woman who serves, hosts, cooks, and manages the place! The food portion sizes are smaller which is fine since everything was good quality and cheaper. Overall impressed and will remember this place for a long time!

Very intimate setting, reminds me of the Netflix show called Midnight Diner. One lady was doing everything, and the food was delicious! I had the Spicy Tuna Avocado bowl and my boyfriend got the Beef stew (forgot the name). Great food, great service, great ambiance!
Absolutely delicious home cooked Japanese comfort food. Fresh, flavorful, quality food. Also very affordable! Ordered two appetizers and two mains, every dish was excellent.
Loved the food and atmosphere, such a peaceful place - especially loved the bento box and cocktails. It's so rare to find such carefully and personally prepared food. Be sure to make a reservation and call ahead!
Cute, cozy, and delicious spot! Very authentic and feels like a home cooked Japanese meal. Good tasty food, and relaxing atmosphere. Had the tuna and avocado bowl, croquettes, and a miso soup! Try it out!
Lovely place but nothing I mean nothing can justify the tiny portions. I paid 15$ for an entree + 5$ for a small serving of rice 20$ total. The beef dish entree was basically an appetizer together with a little bit of plain white rice was not at all filling- Soy needs to do better.

The food, 6 stars! Aside from that, we loved the laid back and natural vibe. We appreciated the attention to detail and diverse array of plants, particularly where we sat on the back patio, which is spacious and inviting. Make sure to call ahead!
