What User likes about Sobaya:
I am very pleased with this soba restaurant in the East Village. The mini lunch set has a limited selection, but all the options look delicious. It was a great choice, especially on a hot day. View all feedback. What Amy Shin doesn't like about Sobaya:
I opted for the eel and soba set, but was a bit disappointed by how tiny my piece of eel was. Also, I wished the soba was colder, especially the dipping sauce because after all, I had ordered the cold option. Perhaps that way, the noodles would have a chewier texture. View all feedback.

Just come here and try it for yourself. It’s too authentically good to describe even the bathroom is legit with its Toto

Ordered both the soba and salmon sashimi. The soba noodles were cooked well and did not stick to each other as I ate. But, I was ignored by one of the servers,...

The food took a while to arrive, causing the tempura to become soggy and not very enjoyable. The noodles and soup were decent, but a bit plain.

The cold soba and tempura were delicious, but the prices were a bit too high.
