Soba

We had an incredible meal at Soba! If you are looking for unique Pan-Asian flavors in Pittsburgh, this is the spot. Everything we ordered tasted amazing, and we were really impressed by the generous portion sizes and the lightning-fast, attentive service. A few highlights from our meal: Roasted Cauliflower: Roasted to absolute perfection. The chili oil dressing added the perfect kick—highly recommend! Chopped Salad: Honestly one of the best salads I’ve had. The papaya pieces were fresh, and the crunchy topping added a great texture. Thai Curry with Crunchy Noodles: Rich, flavorful, and the crunch from the noodles made it stand out. Kid-Friendly: Our kid absolutely loved the edamame. The portion was huge, and she still managed to polished off almost the entire thing! Great atmosphere and even better food. We will definitely be back!

I had my birthday dinner here after hearing good things about the place. My friends and I were thoroughly pleased with our meal, the service, the ambience, etc! Not only were the portions large but the drinks were delicious and strong! Not to mention our server was VERY attentive and made our experience enjoyable, the restaurant staff even gave me a signed birthday card from them that was displayed on the table when I arrived! I’ve never had that happen in my years of birthday dinners lol and to me that showed that they actually pay attention to each reservation and strive to make sure it is a special moment!

We had a 4pm reservation on a Steelers Sunday lol. So we basically got to have the lounge all to ourselves. Our server was incredible. I Do not remember their name. But they went above and beyond. I was really craving a Dr Pepper and they didn’t have it on the menu, but they offered to try to have them make something and it turned out delicious. The hostess was incredible as well. She was very personable. She said that she was gonna give us her favorite table in the restaurant. And I can definitely see why it’s her favorite. We really enjoyed it. For apps we got the Tuna Crispy Rice, Short Rib Dumplings (I personally don’t like red onions. So we asked for them on the side) and Tuna Tartare. The tuna crispy rice was by far my favorite. It was incredibly crispy and just the perfect bite. The jalapeño was sliced perfectly where had the perfect balance with the tuna and the rice. For our main meal, we got the Korean Style Red Snapper and it was incredible! If you are thinking of going here, I highly recommend that you will not be disappointed. I do suggest going with a large group of people getting a bunch of apps.

the food here was fantastic, its a great place for a nice dinner and drinks. i highly recommend getting the crispy tuna roll! also, the ube tiramisu was one of the best desserts i have had in a while!

Soba is best restaurant I have dined at Shadyside neighborhood. Great menu with options of small plates, shareable plates, and equally great cocktails and desserts. Will go again when visiting Pittsburgh next time. Valet parking or street side parking. Our reservation was 8:30 pm so parking was easy to find.

The food preparation was beautiful and the taste was delicious. There was group help in serving with one person as the main assistance for our table. The parking is valet. The desserts were tasty.

So good, such a good environment for a date. Very intimate and moody. Food is amazing every time I have been there. Service is great as well. They have free valet as long as the lot is not full. They also have a coat check which is nice. We got the dumpling appetizer and the crispy tuna appetizer. They were amazing. For dinner we got the lettuce wraps, wok burger, and drunken noodles. I would recommend any one of them! They were so yummy. For dessert we shared the chocolate mousse pretzel. It was very different but delicious! We did not drink we just got waters and our bill was around $120 for three people. I did notice that the bathrooms are downstairs and I did not see an elevator so I’m not sure if this place is very handicap accessible.

We had dinner at Soba last night and really loved it. Our server was Alec and he was excellent. We went with a lot of the dishes he recommended, and we were not disappointed. We had the Branzino, the Filipino adobo bowl, the corn and crab chowder, and the Korean fried chicken nuggets. The flavors on all of these dishes were Outstanding! I highly recommend if you’re in the Pittsburgh area to try to have a dinner at Soba. Great food, great service and great atmosphere!

I had a birthday dinner here for eight people. When I needed to adjust the reservation, the staff did a great job of responding promptly online via the OpenTable app. The ambiance is on the darker side and cozy inside. The food is pan-Asian fare and it's pretty good for what it is. The Korean style red snapper was delicious and came with pork belly and rice cakes. I sampled all of my friend's other dishes and they were pretty good as well. I enjoyed our desserts and would get them again!

We dine frequently at Soba and have always found the experience to be rewarding. This could be a five star restaurant if they could just tone down the spice levels of some of their tastiest dishes. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere pleasant. You are surrounded by muted lights and soft music. It is just plain comfortable. My favorite is the shiitake mushroom egg roll appetizer albeit too spicy tonight. The tiramisu was a good ending to our family dinner on the upper level. Street parking is always available close by but valet parking is there if you want it. Soba remains one of the best dining experiences in southwestern Pennsylvania.

We came to try it out for the first time. Appreciated free valet parking. Food was delicious and Skylar was an efficient and friendly server who was attentive and kept our water glasses filled. The restaurant started filling up.as we left around 6:30. The ambiance is romantic and a great place for a celebration.

Had a chance to try everything on the limited time New Year's 2026 menu at Soba. Everything was cooked in such detail. You can tell by every bite the chef and team really did an amazing job. Always a great time at Soba, can't wait to see what they have in store for their next limited time menu

Came to celebrate some birthdays the week of Christmas. Was shocked to find an empty dining room at 5:30 but it did fill up as the evening went on. Love the valet parking and friendly staff. Food was prepared quickly and accurately. I enjoyed my smash burger and tots, a fun fusion twist on an American classic. Overall a great experience and a lovely night.

We came on a week night for dinner and they were packed by the time we left. I loved the ambience and decor of the place. It's great for getting together with friends. I tried the chirashi bowl. It had great presentation and flavors. However, the fish just weren't the best. They really should be the star in a chirashi bowl. They had a lot of other interesting items on the menu, so I would try something else next time. Service was friendly and prompt. It was also a plus that they had free valet parking. We had a great time here.

I got the Shitake Mushroom Spring Roll (4.25/5) and the Hong Kong chicken with walnuts (4/5). The spring roll was nice and crispy, and the sauce added a nice little spice to it. The chicken and mushrooms were good, but I thought there was too much sauce, but I am also not a big fan of sauce in general. We went late on a Monday night, so it was not busy. However, the service was still super slow; it took us almost an hour to get our food (2/5), and they accidentally brought us the check before our food. This was our second time, and it was still good, but not as good as the first, especially the service.

I wanted to give this place another try but it really is only ok. The staff is super nice and the ambiance is good and moody but the food doesn't really stand up. I tried the chirashi bowl this time and it was only ok. The lettuce wraps with chicken was not great either. I did like the dessert, the chocolate maki, since it is so good with the pistachio cream. Big Burrito has some great restaurants but Soba is not up to par.

Stopped into Soba for a cocktail and a light bite--just needed to relax and cool off from the hot, humid Pittsburgh day. As always, the service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. I was in the mood for something tropical and ordered the Big Blue Wave. It hit the spot--refreshing, not too sweet, and bright blue (bonus!). For food, I tried the Sichuan Bang Bang Chicken. It was just okay. With ingredients like chili oil, English cucumber, and gem lettuce, I expected a bit more punch or heat, but the flavor fell a little flat. That said, Soba is still a fantastic spot for a cocktail, a nibble, and a laid-back atmosphere. Perfect for winding down and treating yourself to a little escape. The ambiance is chill and stylish--perfect for low-key evenings.

Soba really brings chic date night vibes right to Shadyside. Soba really is the kind of place you could bring a date too, celebrate a special occasion with, or really just get a bite to eat and good cocktail with the girls. We love a versatile queen. Our server Skyler was lovely and attentive the whole night- adding to the experience. I started with the Guava Margarita and boy did she set the tone. Perfectly tart, sweet, and refreshing. All I needed was a beach cabana or an infinity pool and I would've been set. Edamame and tuna tartare came next. Fun fact: I used to sneak edamame into movie theaters in lieu of popcorn. The tuna tartare is not for me, but everyone else at the table devoured it with 0 complaints- so imma take that as a GOUD thing. I ordered the Sichuan Pork Dumplings as my meal and I will say- while they were delicious- I was pretty bummed it only came with 4. It didn't specify on the menu and I didn't think to ask. I was tempted to order another order though, because they were that yummy. Noa got the Thai Chicken Curry which was delightful. It was a hefty portion, the chicken throughout were big ole pieces that were juicy and tender. Mom got the branzino which does come out as the full fishy. She said it was really good. I'll update when I figure it out. We finished off with some chocolate maki, which was gorgeously presented, super savory yet still light. Everything #GOUDapproved Thai Chicken Curry| 27 egg noodles, yellow coconut curry, bok choy, pickled red onion, cilantro, lime Chocolate Maki | 14 dark chocolate mousse, chocolate pistachio crepe, pistachio cream Sichuan Pork Dumplings | 14 sichuan peppercorns, chili oil, soy, chives Crispy Branzino | 36 whole fish, summer squash, bok choy, house sweet soy, shiso chimichurri, grilled lemon jasmine rice Edamame | 9 Guava Margarita | 14 reposado tequila, bauchant orange liqueur and yuzu sake, tart guava and citrus juice, on the rocks with a black salt rim Thai Tea Palmer | 15 thai tea, nikka days blended whisky, fresh lemon, rhubarb and peach bitters

Soba was one of my first favorite restaurants when I moved to Pittsburgh, and continues to be today! We love their bar and the vibe. Every time we go, we order the crispy tofu and crispy rice tuna for appetizers. They are excellent! For dinner, my hubby gets the burger and says it's one of his favorite preparations! I usually alternate between the corn chowder soup (amazing), Chilean sea bass or the lettuce wraps. They have such a delicious sampling of food, you can't go wrong. We love the sake selection and the service is always excellent.

The ambiance is great. We had a party of 7. I ordered the Smash burger which is great if you don't have a taste for other things on the menu. We had free valet parking (tipped), a very nice , attentive and helpful waitress, and everyone enjoyed it. Two of our party were in from another city and we don't get to see them much so we talked and talked until one of us noticed that the restaurant closed 15 minutes ago!! No one asked us to leave or even hinted at it. Great staff, great food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend !!!

We tried Soba for Valentine's day and were pleasantly surprised. It was easy to find parking nearby and they do offer complimentary valet. We had a reservation and were seated upstairs. I'm not gonna lie, this space is dark. Really dark. So older folks make sure you can take a pic of the menu to enlarge or use your light. It's a great romantic vibe but hella hard to see what the food preparation even looks like. We had to ask our server what herbs were in one dish. We tried the spicy pork lettuce cups that came with crisp little romaine leaves and a dish of the pork that you could add to each leaf yourself. It was not overly spicy and very delicious. We also tried the pork dumplings that came in a really yummy five spice ginger soy sauce. The pork was a denser grind and nicely flavored. For entrees, we had the short rib over mashed potatoes with tempura mushrooms that was very tender and flavorful. The drunken noodles with filet pieces was truly divine. I would definitely order that again. Wine selections were great and their warm sake carafe was perfect with our apps. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were enjoying our meal.

One of my favorite restaurants in pittsburgh. Food and drinks are always so good and lots of seating and beautiful inside

Stopped in for an early dinner after attending Picklesburgh. Service was very attentive. Drinks were good. My daughter loved the guava margarita. We shared a few things. The tempura shrimp and the pork dumplings were both fantastic. The chirashi bowl was disappointing. We will definitely be back.

Upscale Asian fusion with a focus also on fish/sushi. I had the chirashi bowl and it was a lovely assortment presented beautifully. I also had a cocktail (a refreshingly sweet lychee cocktail) that was very well made.

Was craving some good, fresh sushi and found the perfect spot!! Soba satisfied all the cravings and it was the perfect amount of food for my boyfriend and I. My first time trying sashimi as well and it was light, fresh, and flavorful. Also, pretty reasonably priced compared to our other date nights in the city so that's a plus! We also got the lychee heartbreaker and toki old fashioned (not pictured) and they were great as well!

Stopped by for dinner last nite while visiting Pittsburgh. Nice restaurant w FREE valet parking. Friendly staff. We had the tuna crispy rice, short rib dumplings, Thai corn chowder n chopped salad. Never had raw tuna before but the tuna crispy rice tasted good. The dumplings were tasty too. The chopped salad was a big portion enough for 2 people n had a lot in it and the dressing was v good. Thai corn chowder was ok. Tasted good but nothing to brag about. For entrees we had the Korean red snapper, crispy fried whole branzino n drunken noodles. The branzino was really crispy and had a nice sauce n tasted really good. The red snapper filet was delicious too. Had pork belly in it which was not crispy.the sauce was flavorful. Since there was no rice I requested for a side of rice n it was good w the sauce. The drunken noodles tasted good w beef n veggies n the sauce was good. We topped it off w sticky rice n mango n the chocolate pretzel tower. The sticky rice w mango had mango ice cream n a crunchy side was good. The chocolate pretzel tower was heavenly. Was so good. Not too sweet. Would highly recommend it. Tx u for a great meal. Will be back again.

This Asian fusion restaurant offers an upscale dining that blends precision with comfort food. While some dishes impressed, others such as the pad thai swimming in sauce were not favored, especially given the price point. Standouts included the maki rolls (any kind), YUM! Beautifully plated, fresh, with balanced flavors. Also, thai corn chowder soup! Even though it was a warmer spring day, the sweetness of the corn paired with the coconut base and hint of lemongrass really hit the spot! I appreciate the convenience of being able to check out at your table via a QR code as service was somewhat lacking throughout the evening.

I hate to give a 1 star review, but that's the only way to describe my experience at Soba. The biggest issue was the food. Although the presentation was there, each dish had issues. Most notably the pad Thai noodles were very overcooked and mushy, and the dumplings were not hot. Additional cons that wouldn't be a big deal if the food had been ok: -We were seated in the front corner of the deck, and the water from the rain or condensation was dripping onto the seats. -Bottled beer was served room temperature -The service started off good but the staff did not check on drinks throughout the meal. We had to flag staff down for the check. -I've never had this tough of seaweed on sushi before. It was so chewy that it ruined the roll. The roe was an overpowering flavor too.

After many years of visiting Soba, and many good memories and experiences (pre-pandemic) I have to say that the last couple of times we visited were just not good. Pre-pandemic we came here several times a year. Birthdays, anniversaries, friend's birthdays. It was always a great celebrating spot. The last time we came was one of the worst experiences we've had, and I proclaimed I would not be interested in a return visit. I made reservations for my husband's birthday. I made it for 7pm on a Thursday and we were early (6:45ish). I assumed we would be done and on our way in 40-45 minutes. We arrived and were seated in the bar area along the wall, with a mostly empty bar and scarcely seated dining area. Our server came to get our drink orders. We both only wanted waters, but I said I would also like to order an appetizer and went with the tofu lettuce wraps. He left and we chatted for a bit. What I couldn't see since it was behind me, but what my husband saw was our server at another table for about 10-15 minutes socializing with the people there. We continue to wait and wait and still did not see him again. About 20 minutes goes by and he shows back up, no food in hand, and apologies and says he got the order in late. I mention to my husband that I was getting the feeling we were forgot about because we didn't order drinks. And now he hasn't even entered the app order. That's when he says he's witnessed him talking at length to another patron, (who appeared to be a friend) so he is clearly behind. The general theme of the night. Another 10-15 minutes passes and finally our app comes out. So, we waited about 35 minutes from time of order to receive our app and he only stopped over once to let us know the app was delayed. He tried the whole drop and run routine, but I was not having that I said we'd like to order. He seemed a little surprised, like oh ok, and pulls out a pad. I kept my cool, and let it slide and we ordered. My husband got the salmon, and I ordered the Vegetable Dolsot Bi Bim Bap, no egg. We waited for about 15-20 more minutes before our entrees arrived. I wanted to be gone by this time and if we were waiting on appropriately, we should have. When my food came, and I started eating it I found it to be so overwhelmingly vinegary. It had kim chi but this was so one note and consuming, just not good. I picked around the bowl and decided I was done with it but would take the rest home thinking I could maybe pull out the remaining tofu, which was the best part, and add to my own rice and veggies. My husband was also a disappointed in his dish. He looks forward to salmon for his birthday but the overall quaintly wasn't there. We wait a while more as I was birddogging the room on the look out for our once again MAI waiter. I saw him and flagged him down, he saw me and turned around to go out of the room. I was just holding my tongue because I didn't want to upset my husband on his birthday. He finally came back and brought over a couple caramels and some chocolate on a small plate that said happy birthday for my husband. Before he had a chance to split again, I asked for my leftovers to be boxed and the check. Took another 5-7 minutes when he came back with the check. I quickly signed it and said let's go. He never brought the leftovers out and I said I am not waiting any longer. Can't imagine another return this was a very unpleasant experience from start to end.

Had an awesome dinner at Soba! The vibe was super chill and the food was delicious. Nicole was our server and she was amazing. super friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of the whole night. Definitely coming back!

We've been to Soba several times previously and enjoyed it a lot. But kept forgetting to write a review. This time we only took a picture of the appetizers - crispy tofu and spicy pork lettuce wraps. Dinner was so good we ate it before we could take photos! Our server was on it and checked on us periodically. Great space (a little dark and could use a little more lighting) with a cool vibe! Give it a try if you haven't been here yet.

Got the drunken noodles. Hand delivered by my friend. Box was kind of falling apart. First bite very salty. Beef tenderloin cooked well. Broccoli cooked well. Noodles good. Thought there would be more noodles when I got drunken noodles. Maybe I'm too drunk to see them. I saw a lot of bean sprouts.

Excellent Japanese-ish fusion in Shadyside "Hey, how about Soba?" "Soba is never wrong." Countless visits across many years: This upscale Japanese fusion bar/restaurant delivers consistently solid renditions on their seasonal menu which is supported by one of the better scratch bars in Pittsburgh. Staff is consistently gracious and atmosphere is warm. Highly recommended for dinner or light bites or even a cocktail to finish out the evening.

The food here was very meh. I got the tuna tartar to start and it was still frozenish somehow at the bottom?? I don't know if they have them proportioned or what and it just got too cold. And then I had the branzino as my main. It desperately needed salt. The worst part was the greens. They didn't clean them properly so they were very grainy. Giving two stars because drinks were really good! And service was okay but food was not good.

I'm allergic to shellfish and our waitress was super accommodating and warned me about a few dishes that weren't advertised anywhere as having shellfish. She made some fantastic recommendations for shellfish free dishes that were amazing. We had the spicy tuna roll, the double salmon roll and the yellow chicken curry noodles. The noodles were the star of the show and the portion was crazy! We have lots of tasty leftovers. The ambiance of the restaurant is very sexy, cute and date night vibes. Will definitely be back.

The service is elevated and highly efficient. Additionally, the atmosphere is upscale and intimate while the restaurant is lively. Overall, the service was great! My favorite thing on the menu was the Tuna Crispy Rice and the Spicy Tofu Lettuce Wraps! Highly recommend. They also have free parking in the lot which is very convenient.

Slipping...Cold appetizers fried tofu. They used to come out sizzling on a stone plate.

Asian fusion and more. Interesting menu with assorted plates from seafood , vegetables and meat combos. I did try today small plate specials. Baby octopus ... little over down. May need some improve. Reasonable Wine by the glass. Perhaps adding some other origins will shine the list... C.

Beautiful decor, excellent service and delicious food. They have sushi and many Asian inspired dishes. A full bar with speciality cocktails and Mocktails. I had the Snapper which was perfectly prepared. Make a reservation because it's a popular spot.

I came here with a group of about 15 so we really took up space and had a large crowd. The service was great. Our waitress did an amazing job, no mix ups, everything was out in a timely manner The space and ambiance is beautiful. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the bar area, the outdoor seating AND indoor seating. Such a spacious place. Free valet parking outside also. The food was good. We shared a bunch of apps. I think I liked the apps better than some of the entrees. The Scottish Salmon entree was a star. It was stellar. My favorite entree. Pad thai was just okay, the salad was just okay, the tuna tartare might be one of my favorites in all of Pittsburgh! So there were items that definitely stood out and some that I would sub next time. The dumplings were also heaven! If you're looking for a nice place for a date, celebrating something, or just want a posh dinner, this is it!

I brought my husband here for his birthday and it was so special to be welcomed with a birthday card signed by the staff! We were early for our 5:30 reservation, but were seated immediately and actually were the only people in the dining room for quite a while. Service was friendly and quick, but our meal was nicely and intentionally paced. The entire experience was relaxing, with warm decor, and a great soundtrack. We started with the Short Rib Bao Buns, which featured juicy and flavorful meat. Then, we selected a daily special Szechuan dumpling - my favorite item of the night. The dumplings had a really nice sauce, and the overall texture was perfect. For an entree, I ordered the Thai Chicken Curry and was surprised by the massive portion size. You can definitely share this with your partner! Overall a really excellent dinner with lots of great flavors and many options.

Megan was a great bartender tonight. I loved my mojito. Will definitely be coming back soon to sit at the bar.

Went to Soba on Valentine's Day and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! Service was friendly and we were seated immediately. They have a nice selections of specialty cocktails and extensive drink selection. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, with a fireplace and unique lighting. It feels cozy and warm and is a great place for a date night or a dinner with friends. We had the special Four course Tasting Menu. The Sea Bass was the best I have ever had! You cannot go wrong with whatever you choose! We hope to be back soon!

Absolutely LOVE this place! I've gone at least twice and gotten takeout before too and it never disappoints. It's modern Asian fusion, and the menu consists of a mix of unique and classic small plates and really hearty, comforting big plates. Out of all the dishes I've tried, some standout ones would be the chirashi bowl, chicken bao buns, korean style miso halibut, and thai chicken curry. Chefs kiss. Also -- you have to save room for dessert. They have really fun and creative Asian inspired options like black sesame creme brûlée (to die for). Inside ambiance is gorgeous -- it's dimly lit so super intimate and romantic, and decorated beautifully. Would be perfect for a date night, a fancier dinner with friends, or taking your parents when they're in town. Service is always exceptional and makes you feel really well taken care of. Wait staff is always happy to take questions and give you recs on the menu! Definitely recommend coming here if you're in town!

Soba's food and drink menus have something for everyone, and the décor of the restaurant is beautifully done. The plum sangria was delightful and not overly sweet, and the miso caramel martini was flavorful. The sichuan pork dumplings and the drunken noodles were incredible from start to finish. However, the service left something to be desired. Our server told us that our appetizers would come out first, but we found that only a few minutes passed between our appetizers and our entrees being brought out. One member of our party had to ask where their dumplings were twice, and they were only then brought out after their entree. Our server did not check in with us at all during our meal, and it took roughly thirty minutes for our cards to be returned to us despite us watching them pass our table multiple times. Overall, we enjoyed our food and drinks, but the service could have been better.

The food at Soba tasted so good. Came here with my hubby and friends, we had a great time. Love the chill vibe and decor of this restaurant. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We made a reservation and were seated within minutes. There was a good bit of people there when we arrived, not loud which was good for conversation. Would definitely recommend visiting.

Really wanted to like this place since I've been meaning to go for a while and it seemed like a great Asian restaurant. Went for an anniversary dinner this week and was underwhelmed by the food. I ordered the duck fried rice and while the duck was really good, the fried rice was wet and it was kind of off putting. I love a fried rice that it fried, airy, dry, etc. but this one had an almost risotto consistency. My partner ordered the seared tuna and was not a fan of the chopped nuts they put on top of the fish. I do have to mention that we did also order the rock shrimp and enjoyed it. My dad's cooking specialty growing up was rock shrimp and I thought this one was cooked perfectly. I do have to note that my server was amazing and the interior is beautiful - if this was underground it would definitely give speakeasy vibes. In addition, my cocktail, the lychee heartbreaker, was also delicious. So while I probably won't be returning for the large dishes anytime soon, I'd recommend this place for the drinks and small bites!

Soba is incredible. Everything I have ever eaten there was amazing and the service top notch. We love trying new things every time we go to this super trendy place. Now I want soba. To the Batmobile! Happy Eating!

We had reservations at 7:30 for outside and we were seated immediately, but downstairs by the windows. Close enough we figured, not worth trying to check why the patio wasn't available. We looked at the menus as we waited and our waiter took our drink orders (2 wines). We waited and waited. No one checked on us. It was almost 8 when we got our wines and he took our order. It was so odd. Our food arrived within reasonable time of it being placed. The chicken baos were average at best. The bao was dense on the outside as if it had dried out. I didn't care for the fried chicken. Duck fried rice was good. Duck was cooked well, it can be delicate to get well. The fried rice was fine, nothing to rave about. Crispy Branzino had a wonderful presentation. I had to mix all the sides together and there was an abundance of cilantro that made the sides hard to maneuver. Taste wise it was solid. A different person came to check on us and take our plates away, noting the waiter felt we had to wait. Indeed we did. They sent a dessert on the house. Nice touch, but still not acknowledging what had happened and why it took so long to get us the wines. From the service aspect, it left me disappointed.

SOBA was the first restaurant we visited at the start of our foodie journey and LOVED it! The drinks were amazing, particularly their lychee martini. We had their Shitake Mushroom Spring Rolls, Kung Pao Mushrooms, & Crispy Tofu for appetizers. For our main meal, Ben had the Vegetable Maki (vegetarian-friendly) and I had the crispy branzino (a whole fish!). What we really enjoyed about this place is their ability to make some of their large plates vegetarian-friendly! We finished with their Strawberry Panna Cotta which was the perfect sweet & light treat. They change their menu over the seasons so we highly recommend checking out their latest menu!

On business from Lancaster, checked the menu and the food sounded delicious. Got there and ordered the Bronzino and pork belly in a spicy sauce. It was fantastic! The ambiance is nice and quiet. Ordered the best tasting vanilla ice cream and had a very tasty drink that I can't remember the name. The service was very nice and the order didn't take long. I would definitely come back.

This is not my first time at soba and it will not be my last. Always enjoy coming here. My forever favorite order has to be the crispy tuna rice along with the drunken noodles! Every bite I've ever had here has been good and very consistent! Love the ambiance especially if you get a seat upstairs! The bar area is also beautiful! Service is always on point and look forward to my next visit!

This is the place to go for ambiance, but not food. Soba gives good vibes for Asian fine dining, the decor and service is excellent. Actually, decor-wise it might be one of my favorites in Pittsburgh. Its interior is beautiful and refined. It also has a cute patio for outdoor seating. If only the food was better:( their menu is a bit Asian fusion, but I'd say not good Asian fusion. Taste is neither like Asian food or decent fine dining food for its high price. [Thai Chicken Curry] is probably the only dish I like from soba and would order a second time. Good portion, good flavor. Would say it is overpriced though. [Kung Pao Mushroom] [Rock Shrimp Tempura] wasn't great. The shrimp was a bit soggy and had too much sauce. It was also really small, like popcorn shrimp. Kung Pao Mushroom tasted a bit strange. [Double Salmon Roll] was ok, nothing wrong with it but not much salmon for "double salmon". [Duck with Ginger Fried Rice] I forgot exactly which dish this was. The duck was good, but wasn't a fan of the ginger rice. Felt the ginger taste was too overpowering. [Pad Thai] was decent, don't remember the [Crispy Branzino] that much so nothing wrong with it. Dessert and drinks were much better and aesthetic. We tried most of the cocktails on the menu and agreed the favorite was [Bangkok Mule].

With limited good Ramen and Asian spots in PA this was a nice find, the atmosphere was very nice and decor, as usual I love going to a restaurant when they fist open or after a lunch rush, I had a nice table in the back near the window with a street view, gave a very nice grown and sexy vibe, ideal for a nice date or solo date. My server was very attentive and provided nice insight on my selections it all looked great. So I let my stomach lever lol. For sushi, I had the Tuna Crispy Rice and California role, Chicken Bao Buns, Short Rib Bao Buns, and the Thai Chicken Curry. Everything was great, but I love a good curry and this rendition was very good I really liked the addition of the crunchy noodles.

There's something a little T.G.I. McScratchy's Goodtime Fooddrinkery about this place. It really wants to make you feel posh and urban, but it has the soul of a contrived selfie backdrop. The menu is Asian fusion meets strip mall chain, and while nothing is bad, nothing has the sort of subtlety that marks fine dining. The service, however, was excellent. But there's no reason to spend $35-$45 on a piece of fish here when so many superior options exist in town.

Made a reservation for 630 on a Friday which was perfect! By time we left around 8 it had filled up so it was very loud and hard to hear my friend on the other side of the table. I started with the soba California roll and it was delicious. I got the 2 short rib bao buns and they were delicious. The meat was so flavorful. I asked if they could do the chocolate maki to go and they were very accommodating. It was a yummy chocolate mousse with a chocolate sauce, pistachio cream and melon. Would definitely go back! There was also complimentary valet parking which was such a nice touch.

One of my favorite dinners in Pittsburgh to date! The duck fried rice, fried chicken bao buns, and steamed dumplings were amazing!! The server had great recommendations!
