Sobaya Restaurant Review:


If you think Japanese food begins and ends with sushi, you might want to check out Sobaya to see what you’ve been missing. Soba and udon are served at this sleekly appointed, tranquil little noodle haven on East 9th Street, which in recent years has become somewhat of a Little Tokyo community. Best of all, slurping your noodles is not only allowed, but according to Japanese custom, encouraged.
