Sagatani Shibuya Dogenzaka

Just the sort of Noodle shop I had desired to eat at for a long time. Wood panelled , lantern lit. No-nonsense place. You walk in and order via a touch screen. Take a table. And collect your order straight from the chef.

Went with my family of 6 after checking good reviews. Ordered our food using the ticket machine, since our group size was big, there were many tickets generated as there were many orders. The staff did not acknowledge us in any way, while we wait for the orders shown on the screen. He just prepared the food and put it on the tray at the counter and walked back in the kitchen. He did not check our tickets and assumed the customers would pick up the food they ordered. Unsurprisingly, we were missing some things we ordered, and were given something else (I ordered cold soba but he gave us hot and insisted it was correct). When we passed the tickets to him, he somehow mixed it up with other older tickets in a metal bowl which made it impossible to trace and proof our order. I was missing chicken, and three eggs which I had ordered and paid for. Despite telling him, he insisted I did not order it. All these were paid for but couldn't be traced because he dumped our tickets in the metal bowl. Felt cheated and was disappointed.

Unassuming soba shop with excellent soba for the price. The soba noodles were nice and chewy and dipping sauces the perfect accompaniment. The tempura was cooked well too. Service was quick and the staff are helpful despite language barrier.

Would almost miss it as it has a small wooden sliding door and is squeezed between two other places! Glad I didn't, very affordable and delicious soba that you choose yourself from the touch screen. Then you get a ticket and your number is called. Food is simple, vegetable tempura was amazing and fresh, you can choose hot or cold soba. There are also add ons, I choose soft boiled egg that was perfect. The broth was just slightly too salty for my taste, but soba noodles were nice and chewy. It was fairly empty when I went Sunday 5.30pm. Place is very small and authentic, really cool!

Not a soba lover but the taste of this place lingers in my memory. Back here after 5 years and it still tastes as great! The tempura are freshly prepared. And the draft beer tastes fresh too. Will be back again.

Order a hot soba in winter time to be the best to cheer your morning. The Soba is as usual and the soup is not good but not bad. The tempura shrimp is good

Excellent authentic soba in a tiny hole-in the wall. 🍜 This is your classic Tokyo experience! Super cheap, too. You'll even see the flour grinder out the front making fresh buckwheat flour! 💴 Order at a ticket machine (takes cash or IC card, no credit cards). 🪑Seating is countertop seating. Don't walk by, it's small at the front but at least 2 dozen seats inside. Toilets, too.

The place is simple, and the food is good. It was not the best, but it's better than most soba places I tried here in Tokyo. The place is small, yet there's a lot of chairs to pick and sit down once you pay for your food. You will get your number called once the food is ready from the counter.
