Asakusa Hirayama

Walked in for dinner as our hotel was nearby. Friendly staff. Soba was very good, hand made and hand cut. Cold soba had a good bite and the hot sobs noodles were in a clear and flavourful broth. Tempura selection of the day was mixed vegetables - including sweet potato, burdock, chestnut, lotus root, cauliflower and baby yam. The special was shiitake with prawns and shiso leaf. Seafood tempura was tilefish. Excellent ingredients which hardly needed any sauce. Just a bit of salt and it was delicious. Reasonably priced and excellent food!

Such a fantastic Soba restaurant. Staff and owner chef were so warm and friendly. What we had: ・SobaGaki ・Buri Daikon - Yamawasabi and Scallop Hitashi - Kuromame Yuba with dried Sea Urchin ・Dashimaki Tamago ・Tempura - Genboku Shiitake mushroom, kagarenkon Lotus, Snapper and Mukago ・Seiro Cold Soba Soba flower is freshly made from taking off the soba flower shells, milling them, soba cutting in the venue. Al dente with beautiful soba flavour. Tempura is crispy. Side dishes are beautiful with a subtle flavour. First time had dried Sea Urchin - the more you chew, the more you can taste the flavour. Very good experience. I booked the Chef’s Omakase lunch meal. If you don’t book, you may need to wait outside. When we finished our meal, there was a queue outside. Definitely recommend you to book if you are going to visit with someone.

hands down best soba I ever had. Soba was al dente, each bite slightly springy and it was surprising how we loved every different sauce we tried from their standard sauce, cashew nuts to their plum + radish cold broth. The tempura batter was light, perfectly complementing the fresh vegetables and fish. Note: place is small so we felt really conscious with kids

Delicious soba place. Place is quiet and serious but soba reflects the quality. Delicious lunch

We had a wonderful experience at Hirayama. The service was great and very friendly. The interior of the place was right out of an interior design magazine. The soba was delicious and harmonious in flavor. Perfectly thinly crisped tempura.

We had reserved and showed up more than 10mn late but they didn't complain. Food is excellent and easy to approach with a European culture, personnel is nice, smiling and professional. Atmosphere is warm. Prices are very reasonable. I do not understand why some complain about the restaurant refusing to welcome them. Some people showed up during the service and they were accepted until there wasn't room anymore, not only western. Recommend 100%.

We showed up around noon and the wait wasn’t too long. The restaurant itself has a beautiful design and service was great. We ordered the soba tea (made from buckwheat seeds), squid + spinach appetizer, cold dipping soba, hot soba, and the glass shrimp tempura. We loved everything so much! The soba had a perfect texture and consistency. Also when you finish your cold filling soba, they give you hot water to pour in your dipping sauce to drink like a broth!

Came to asakusa hirayama to have some nice soba. Heard that this place is famous for its soba. So we had the cold soba served in bamboo tray. Along with tempura and other side dishes Soba was very good , it’s slightly hard in texture but makes it even tastier A booking is definitely recommended , as the tables are extremely limited (2 small table, 1 bar table, one main table) Otherwise you’ll have to queue for very long
