About
Sobaya opened in 1996 as part of Bon Yagi's TIC Restaurant Group empire in the East Village. The restaurant focuses on handmade soba noodles served in the Tokyo style — cold zarusoba and hot kake preparations — alongside a broader Japanese menu of sake, small plates, and donburi. Sobaya is one of the few dedicated soba restaurants in Manhattan.
