Was out on Thursday night, checked a few restaurants around the area and this was a place I get to eat dinner without reservation. What shocked me was the speed the food was served. I got my food less than 10 mins after ordering, and that's with a full house. My Pad Thai have the right amount of sour and spiciness. Fried Yaki Soba was a bit too sweet.
Massive portions that tasted good. The portions were so big that I kind of regret getting a side. My only criticism of the food is the beef in the katsu curry was a bit gristly. The food was served quickly and the staff were very attentive.
I'll just say eating here is a delight, the portions are great and very tasty. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for delicious Japanese food.
Always amazing food and wonderful service. My favourite restaurant. Couldn't recommend enough
First time in this restaurant, the service was fast and staff seemed friendly. The food had a really nice flavour but the prawns had parts of their intestinal tract left in them, which is completely unacceptable. I showed the waitress, she said sorry and took a piece of prawn off my plate while I was eating and went away with it, which I thought was to show the chef. She never came back to me and I was charged full price for my meal when leaving. I didn't bother arguing and just left.

Amazing food and the price is well balanced. I've never ordered something so far what wasn't amazing nd it's also fastly made
Food is always amazing and the atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy. The staff are the loveliest of people and made my day.
My partner and I absolutely love Soba! We've been visiting regularly over the last 4 or 5 months and from our first visit, it became our favourite place! The menu is extensive, the choices vast and everything is as delicious as it sounds! All the food is always fresh, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. The portions are generous, and the staff are all so friendly and attentive it is an absolute pleasure to dine there! Every time we go we get something different and we are consistently impressed! It'll probably take us the rest of the year until we've worked our way through the rest of the menus and we can't wait! If you're a fan of tasty Asian food, give this place a try you won't be disappointed!

Each time I've been they have given us two menus. One was the general menu and one was more specialist dishes many of which my partner and I had never seen listed in Ireland before. We've tried a number of different items from both menus and we have enjoyed every single one. The yakitori duck is my favourite. It's fantastic. The place is simple and elegant. The staff are helpful and considerate. The service has always been speedy. The portions have been generous each time. And the value for money is outstanding.
Super service , clean and delicious food. We ordered chicken Katsura, Thai Pineapple Fried Rice and a Kids Bento. The Thai was probably all seafood the best I have ever eaten. The children were silent which is always a good sign regarding food. The chicken was also received very well. Portions were plentiful and staff were grateful for the generous tip. The food plus two cans of seven up came in at 47.70 euro which was our best value in our little holiday in Cork.
We dine at this restaurant fairly regularly as it is consistently good food at value for money tariffs supported with excellent service. The restaurant offers both Asian and Japanese themed menus within a comfortable setting. We were greeted enthusiastically and our meals once ordered were promptly delivered to our table. We have tried many of the dishes on offer, however we regularly revert to our favorites. My partner as usual opted for Thai basil chili beef and her request for no rice and extra vegetables is never an issue. This dish is beautifully balanced with regards to flavor and texture, the background basil flavor is balanced perfectly with as much or as little chili as your palate dictates and beef so tender you could cut it with a spoon, served chunky vegetables which still maintained a bite. I chose Unadon which is a grilled fillet of eel dish, served on rice with a seaweed salad and a boiled egg. The dish is also served with a miso and mushroom soup. The eel which will be familiar to sushi lovers, is always a substantial and flavorsome dish. Both dishes were presented well and ate every bit as good as they looked. I believe service to always be a memorable aspect of any meal, regardless of the price range and all the young lady servers are great, however our server Joanne is worthy of special mention as she is polite, friendly and helpful, yet unobtrusive and will interact with you as much or as little as you dictate. We always interact with our server wherever we dine and she certainly went that extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our meal. She is a lovely young lady who enhanced our dining experience and is a valuable asset to this restaurant. As stated we dine here fairly regularly so it will come as no surprise that we will certainly return and also recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a flavorsome value for money dining experience.
My mom has celiac disease, and we asked if many dishes could be made gluten-free. The waiter assured us there would be no cross-contamination, which is very important since gluten seriously affects her. Unfortunately, my mom has been very ill for the past few days. I would not recommend this place for anyone seeking gluten-free options or those with other allergies, as they don’t seem to understand the potential risks.
Hi, this is my second visit to Soba; I first came last week. The stir fry is incredible, offering a unique and delicious flavor unlike any other Asian cuisine I've tried. The dishes are light and healthy—I highly recommend the Chicken Satay or the Chicken Red Curry. The prices are very reasonable, with main courses around $12.50. You won’t find more authentic, healthy Asian food anywhere else. The fact that the restaurant is mostly filled with Asian diners speaks volumes.
