Homemade soba & udon noodles, tempura, fried chicken, sake
"This intimate spot serves up bowls of buckwheat noodles on a quiet corner off of Chinatown’s main drag. Here, you’ll find house-made Japanese soba and udon either swimming in a hot or chilled broth or paired with a cold dipping broth, which is richly and perfectly seasoned. It also offers a number of donburi, a Japanese classic consisting of rice and a type of protein." - Valerie Li Stack
"A Japanese soba shop located next to Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House on Hudson Street in Chinatown." - Erika Adams
"The relatively new Somenya, a Japanese restaurant specializing in soba noodles, has quickly become a Chinatown favorite. All of the hot soba on the menu is worth a slurp, but the spicy snow crab hot soba is a refreshing and savory dish you won’t find elsewhere." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Somenya is one of the more exciting openings in Chinatown this year—sorry to all the boba spots with more franchises than George Lucas. The noodles on the menu feel like what would happen if there was an official buckwheat chapter of The Avengers: brothy roast duck udon with big hunks of breast and sweetness from yuzu and cold truffle snow crab soba with generous helpings of salmon caviar, just to name a few. Prioritize one of these, but know the subterranean restaurant works great as a group spot since the rest of the snacky menu is so good, too. Come and hang out for a couple of hours, drinking sake and sharing chili-powder-flecked koji fried chicken under the bright umbrellas dangling from the ceiling." - tanya edwards
