Hamacho Kaneko

Came alone at around 7.45pm on a Wednesday two weeks ago and was thankful to get a counter seat. Was great to sit and engage the chef and staff to see the behind the scenes cooking your food. Ordered: - scallop sashimi (fresh as expected) - omelette (really fluffy, goes well with the soy sauce and radish combo), - cold soba with seasonal tempura and - finished off with soba tea dessert (this was a pleasant surprise to me). Service was great and the chef was really kind to explain the food in English, and when I asked about the Hiyqamugi noodle (like a thinner udon) after my meal, he took it out of the fridge and showed it to me. He also gave me another 2 pieces of tempura which were of the fresh fish they had in the tank wrapped in leaf (not sure if it was part of the set). They have an English menu and I managed to get by and got some recommendations from the staff on what to order. Would definitely be back next time, and will try the Hiyqamugi noodle.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable dinner prepared with heart by the chef & his amazing team. The tempura was paired well with the sake recommended and the soba, both cold and hot with yamaimo, was delicious. 🙏

Incredible experience to sit at the counter and watch the chef prepare your food for you. 100% recommend getting tempura before soba as the tempura is delectable. Small counter with a welcoming feel.

Fantastic soba and tempora! The food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly.

Delicious, staff were also very kind and helpful even for foreigners.

The restaurant host was very nice and inviting and the cold soba lunch menu was just as great (includes small assortment of tempura side, for its price it was amazing). English menu available and only cash! PS ask for the noodle broth after finishing that you can put in your sauce and drink! Great cozy place overall!

This restaurant is so beautiful & the food was delicious. I was very grateful for the kind staff who even helped out in ensuring my food was vegetarian. Thank you so much!

Green chilli soba was amazing. Very nice in hot summer day.
