The food was amazing. Prepared incredibly quickly and the staff was incredibly friendly.
Really good food but the actual eating area has a cold feel. Service great. Sometimes quirky back ground music. Fast service of food
Went to this place for the first time with my friend. It was a very nice experience Very clean and friendly staff My friend had the chicken pad thai and i had the roast duck, Very delicious Edit: i've been here so many times because literally it's my go to restaurant at this point. Their food is actually so amazing they're so quick and the service is also so quick and easy! I would honestly recommend this place if you like roast duck because the road stuck here is unreal
Great food and service. Food was ready very fast and was cooked to perfection. Drinks were ice cold which is always a welcome bonus too.
Had dinner tonight in soba with my partner mother in law and my baby. Were greated with a warm smile and super accommodating. They were so accommodating to my baby also, immediately grabbed a highchair and were being playful with him. We ordered our food they even reccomended a dish to my mother in law as she asked. The food arrived very fast. It was gorgeous, the chips were crispy on the outside and soft inside the curry was beautiful and so was the crispy chicken. My partner got the satay and it was beautiful also. The dish my mother in law was recommended was also beautiful. Fast service and great food. Definitely worth the price even though it’s not as expensive as some of the other similar restaurants i’ve been to. A small restaurant very clean quiet perfect for a date night or celebration. Played lovely christmas music on low was beautiful. The staff are just the kindest i’ve ever met. Super sweet ! Highly reccomend going to this restaurant

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.
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.
In short, I was served a bento box containing spoiled salmon that smelled bad, was slimy, and tasted sour at this restaurant. When I raised the issue, the waitress implied that this kind of problem happens frequently. She only apologized and offered a free drink on my next visit. If you value your health and expect basic food quality, I strongly advise avoiding this place.
The service at Soba is remarkably fast, the staff are welcoming, and the food is tasty, prepared with fresh ingredients. Portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable, especially for Cork city. I highly recommend dining here.

In short: great food and nice staff! I have ordered several times of them and eaten once, you will not be disappointed, the food is excellent, you have quantity and quality for a good price! Your noodles are beaten! Your staff is polite and helpful, I definitely come back! (So took some orders from them to deliver and always very nice to riders! Always a plus)
Amazing Asian Street Food hier in Cork, Irland! Von Jabanese, Malaysian und Thai Bento Boxes bis zum Black Bean Chicken und Phad Thai, dieser Ort deckt alles ab! Das Essen berührt Ihre Palette perfekt mit Freude in jedem Biss.
A small restaurant, which is unfortunately not very visible because the food is quite simple and honest. Good little surprise, I took a chicken catsu curry, not too expensive. The dish was modernized with some extra vegetables (spink shoot and cherry tomatoes). It was quite welcome, the base is very good, I validate this simple and well executed dish. The service was also top notch! It encourages me to come back and taste more demanding dishes! The decor is not really remarkable, perhaps the only black spot, but I am really picky, I had a good time.
Went to this place for the first time with my friend. It was a very nice experience Very clean and friendly staff My friend had the chicken pad thai and i had the roast duck, Very delicious
