I was drawn by the name Soba and went in, expecting to try some authentic Japanese noodles. It turns out interior décor is Chinese and their menu included Chinese, Japanese and even some Thai, Vietnamese and Singaporean. After going through the menu, I’ve decided not to try soba or udon because the descriptions didn’t seem authentic. Here are what we ordered: Crabmeat & sweetcorn soup Very good especially on a cold day! Crabmeat, corn and eggs are well mixed in thick and clear soup. Pad thai Their sauce was more like Chinese oyster sauce and didn’t taste like anything Thai. It was too salty and had to stop eating midway. And we had to let our waitress know that peanuts were stale. Singaporean noodle It would be great for those who can handle spicy food. It was pretty good according to my boyfriend :) The table next to us had some yummy looking salmon sashimi and hand rolls. I saw bento boxes at another table. Maybe those are what I should try next time if I come back. But I’d say stick to Chinese dishes here!

No more happy hour = no more Soba for me. It’s good, but not worth full price!

Great little restaurant that specialises in both Chinese and Japanese food. I’ve eaten here several times(and always tending towards the Japanese end of the menu) and always been very impressed. The portions aren’t massive, but the food itself is very nice and surprisingly reasonably priced. These is a little gem of a place, and deserves to be a lot busier than the sub-par Wok Wok next door. Last time I went it was 50% off all food before 7pm, so now is a great chance to give this place a try.
