11 Sublime Soba and Udon Noodles in NYC | Eater NY

"This popular spot nestled in the East Village’s Little Tokyo has a particularly varied selection of deftly prepared, pricier sobas, offered in three portion sizes and price points. The Kinoko, filled with shimeji, enoki, and shiitake mushrooms, is a standout, while the curry nanban and stamina, filled with fried chicken and garlic, are heartier choices. Pop by between 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday for a $22 early bird dinner special, comprised of an appetizer assortment, tempura mix, option of soba or udon served cold or hot, plus inari sushi and vanilla ice cream covered with strawberry sauce." - Alexandra Ilyashov
