"Topnotch soba is the speciality at this snug, cash-only Nolita spot, consisting of tight counter seating and a handful of tables. The buckwheat noodles come in a myriad of broths, and dipping sauces are the main attraction. Go for the particularly traditional dipping sauce and tempura-flanked sets, or try a soul-recharging hot bowl of soba soup, many incorporating grated radish, bonito, and sesame in various forms. The yuzu-spiked warm stamina soba with tender chicken meatballs is a highlight, while any of the cold soba dishes make for a particularly refreshing summer meal. Another Cocoron outpost is situated just a few blocks away on Delancey." - Alexandra Ilyashov
