Soba

Soba noodle restaurant is CLOSED
After just opening up again 6 months ago. We Stopped by last week and had lunch. It was fine we had a good lunch. Then I read this week that they are closed again. Too bad.

I work downtown and have stopped in here a few times since they’ve opened. As much as I want to love it (I love Asian food especially noodles) I am always sadly disappointed. I think I’ve tried half of their menu now. I feel like the sauces they use are pretty bland. The only thing that I’ve been decently happy with is the Crouching Noodle Hidden Broth soup which the noodles and broth was pretty good. However, I did not understand the dish, it felt like they just threw a bunch of random foods in it. Along with a lot of other things, this dish contained broccoli, mushrooms and red bell peppers. I ended up taking some of the things out as I felt like the dish didn’t flow very well with it.
On a positive note, the décor and location is awesome plus the staff is always super friendly. I also meet the owner when they first opened up and she was super nice as well.

They were once a must/​staple in bend for a great quality/​cost ratio, but since reopening has become, regrettably, a «to be missed» place in town.

This was a great, quick stop on our way through town. We ordered the pad Thai, the Phuket (pronounced «pucket») salad, the se Asian chicken salad, and the gyoza. All was delicious! The salad could have a bit more to make it heartier, but the dressing was good. The teriyaki chicken on one of the salads was perfect!

I really enjoyed my meal at Soba today. Ali was very pleasant as she took my order and brought me my lunch. I enjoyed my Pad Thai type dish as it was super yummy! It had a peanut like satay sauce which I really liked. The firm tofu triangles also made this dish delicious. The prices on the menu items were a good value. The restaurant was clean and I will definitely return.

Front counter gal very nice and welcoming. Gave me a to go menu. I got 3 dishes for my friends and I. I got their tofu and broccoli with pad thai, which came with peanuts, and lime as well. (I asked for the bean sprouts and onion to be taken out.) The one friend got their organic chicken with pad thai, he thought it was great and my other girl friend had the organic chicken with yakisoba noodles. It came with the obvious, and mushrooms and zucchini and carrots. She liked hers as well. Overall pretty good. This was my first time here, I think if I were to go again I would ask for them to put less sauce and sodium… Also the noodles tasted reminiscent of Olive Garden fettuccine in between bites? So it was like this strange mixture of Japanese and Italian food. This was also my first time trying tofu, fried. So maybe I’m not a very fair judge. Also we got their 5 piece Crab Wontons, BLEH!!! Too sweet and salty for me. My tofu however was strange, but intriguing. I’ll be back to probably try something else. See for yourself.

Fantastic experience! Lane took our order he was great! Very polite and helpful! We sat out on the rad patio where we met the bartender Jason who insisted that we try their «amazing» filtered water. He made us perfect mojito’s and was very attentive being sure we did not wish for a thing! They were both great listeners and had no problem accommodating our special requests.
Overall great experience definitely recommend!
