"Conveniently located right near Grand Central, Soba Totto dishes up warm soba paired with tempura or duck. Or, choose from more luxe toppings like uni, salmon roe, or Berkshire pork belly atop cold noodles, which are also available in very spartan form, with simply a traditional dipping sauce. Supplement with a few yakitori skewers by manager and chef Mika Ohie, who also runs well-loved Yakitori Totto across town and a dozen blocks north. And for the local cubicle set, there’s a daily, cash-only $10 to-go special at lunchtime." - Alexandra Ilyashov
