"This Midtown soba specialist makes its noodles in-house daily; choose between four different portion sizes for same price. A straightforward selection of sets, most ringing in around $15, include a bowl of traditional, unadorned noodles served hot or cold and flanked by dipping sauce and protein options like tempura shrimp, grated yam, grilled mackerel, or pork cutlet. While the house specialty is soba, as the name implies, udon is on offer, too: Swap out thin buckwheat noodles for their distant chubby cousin for any of the options. Another location is across the Hudson River in Fort Lee, N.J." - Alexandra Ilyashov
