"Soba Ichi has been holding things down in the East Bay with its handmade soba noodles, and now San Francisco has its own soba specialist with the opening of Sobakatsu. Expect hot and cold variations of soba, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as tempura and tonkatsu options. Be prepared, however: Sobakatsu is an 10-seat restaurant, which might mean a wait depending on when you arrive." - Dianne de Guzman, Lauren Saria
