"Soba, Japan’s beloved buckwheat noodles, offers a delightful culinary experience. Served hot in a comforting bowl of soup or chilled with a side of tsuyu (dipping sauce), soba is versatile and refreshing. The best!"
Jayson De Leon
"The yuba was delicious! I did the set with raw, fried, steamed. With a side of mini soba vegetables. I see some bad reviews and Idk what people are complaining about. It’s so reasonably priced and the it’s a quick lunch stop - not fine dining. Oishikata. My service was friendly. For those who complain about service: Maybe if you are friendly; people will be friendly in return."

"Honestly speaking, is not that bad. In fact my father in law and kid order 2nd portion. if they could, maybe serve a bigger portion. My father in law had knee pain so they were kind to allow us to swap our tables with chair"
