Yelp.com Review - by Angel I.

2.0 of 5 stars. I don't see the big deal about Soba Lounge. I thought the food was only okay, and I didn't like all of the flavors overpowering each other. The ambience is really nice, and the servers are friendly,...

Good drinks, overprized appetizers

Good selection of cocktails and wine, but overprized appetizers in the lounge. Seating is sparse on the weekends.

Overpriced Asian and Skimpy Portions

This is another one of those common "As seen on the food channel" menus. It has those silly living large menu prices. Skimpy portions with various sauces dripped across the entree. The puny rolls and the...

Pleasant experience although don't bring children. I asked when making my reservation if it was child friendly to which I received a "yes", but this seems to be too quiet and formal for young children.
