An authentic gem!

"The soba noodles are simply out of this world. You can taste the freshness and the care that goes into making them. The Kamo Seiro is a must-try. A truly authentic experience."

My go-to comfort spot

"I've been coming to Sobaya for years. It's consistently delicious, and the cozy atmosphere is a perfect escape. The weekday lunch specials are the best deal in the neighborhood."

David L., Manhattan, NY

Incredible Udon

"While they're known for soba, don't sleep on the udon! The Nabeyaki Udon was comforting and packed with flavor. The broth was perfect. Service was attentive and friendly."

Jessica Chen, Queens, NY

Worth the trip

"Came here after seeing the Michelin recommendation and it did not disappoint. The quality of the food for the price is unmatched. The sashimi was incredibly fresh. Will be back for sure."

Michael B., Jersey City, NJ

A neighborhood staple

"Sobaya is a true neighborhood treasure. The staff is always so welcoming and the food feels like a warm hug. The Agedashi Tofu is my favorite appetizer, it's perfect every time."

Sarah K., East Village, NY

Best soba outside of Japan

"As a visitor, I was looking for authentic Japanese food and found it here. The handmade soba texture was spot on. A little bit of a wait, but totally worth it for the quality."
