Profile

In Japan, buckwheat soba and creamy udon noodles are enjoyed in restaurants and noodle bars for both their taste and nutritional value. Soba-Ya brings this tradition to the East Village with an impressive menu of cold and hot noodle dishes as well as Japanese standards like sweet potatoes, squash, and regional sake. If you feel confused by the many unfamiliar names and choices on the menu, the helpful staff will guide you. It’s easy to be surprised when even the ice cream comes in unusual (yet delicious) flavors like black sesame or honey wasabi. — Sandra Nygaard

Having not visited Soba-Ya for several months, my boyfriend and I dropped by for lunch last weekend...and we were reminded of why this is place is known for their noodles! We each got a lunch box (a recent addition to menu, I think) and were amazed by the amount of food we got for $15 a pop. Salad, tempura, broiled salmon, a variety of pickles, oh my. But of course, the star of the show is still the freshly-made soba: light, delicately flavored, and perfectly cooked. If you're looking for the real thing, this is where you're guaranteed to find it.
