"This tiny Japanese restaurant gained a cult following after its opening in 2024, with diners charmed by both the small space — there are just 11 seats — and the promise of fresh soba noodles. Despite the lack of a website, social media, or a phone number, as the Chronicle noted, locals managed to find this restaurant and often line up to get in. Whether you get your order of soba hot or cold is up to you, and while the tonkatsu side of the Sobakatsu menu isn’t quite up and running yet, the vegetable tempura is a worthy distraction." - Paolo Bicchieri
