Abri Soba

Food is delicious and I enjoyed it so much. However, the restaurant is too crowded and too hot during summer time. I kept sweating while eating noodles. Remember to arrive as early as possible. Otherwise you have to wait a bit long as the queue is long.

Popped in for a solo lunch on a Saturday, about 15 minutes after open. If you have a larger group (4+), I would recommend arriving around open to snag a bigger table, as it filled up quickly. Solo, I was immediately seated at the bar. The lunch menu feels like a wonderful value for the money. It came your choice of a soba plus a side salad of shredded daikon, a small bowl of rice, and a few different other side options. It being a summer day, I chose a cold soba with thinly sliced duck breast, which was phenomenal. The soba was ice cold and bouncy, the duck perfectly cooked, and the broth well balanced. I would highly recommend, especially given the price. Service was excellent, both in English and in French.

The 40 minute queue was well worth the wait, the food was great! Everything was incredibly fresh and bursting with authentic flavour. We ordered nine plates between five of us, and the portions were spot on. Standouts? Don’t miss the raw mackerel, duck, and Mousse de poisson. Highly recommend!

Very nice soba! I was pleasantly surprised to find some authentic Japanese soba in Paris. Everything tasted true to food you would find in Japan. The tempura was cooked well, it did not taste oily and it was light and crispy. On the other hand, the さつまいも天ぷら was slightly undercooked 🫤 and the tempura did not come with any 天汁 🥲 I thought this was a bit strange. The staff were very friendly though, and the soba and つゆ for the soba tasted really nice.

Run by a Japanese family, a high quality bowl of soba definitely warms your soul after a long day! A real hidden gem, can safely say this is one of the highlights of my visit to Paris if you’re looking for something different!

Still a line at 930 pm on a Wednesday night. Had high hopes for this place as it's been bookmarked for quite some time. Make sense when they're a Michelin bib gourmand. Don't be alarmed, the place doesn't have any signage just goto where the long line is. All the starters were a hit esp the shashamo grilled smelt and the belly filled with eggs. Wish they were slightly more crispy. Great sashimi portion and quality fish. The grilled chicken was incredible with the fermented rice marinade they use. Now the negatives - perhaps I should have got the dipping soba instead, but the broth was nice but a tad too sweet in my option. The duck was over cooked as it's sitting in the broth too long but the shrimp and vegetable tempura was incredibly well fried. Other highlights were the potato salad and the age dashi tofu!

Service, ambiance and cuisine are all 10/10! Thé aubergine especially was fantastic! The cuisine really is so well crafted bringing the flavours of all meat, fish and vegetables to the forefront of the plate. Simply put, the cuisine celebrates its ingredients. Will definitely come back to try the dishes we couldn’t try. The soba noodles was one of the best I’ve tasted in Paris so far. The sesame Soba was exception! The crème brûlée was perfection and the sesame and matcha ice cream remained one of favourites. The mochi made in-house was amazing as well. This restaurant is a hidden gem and one that I’ll visit again. Thank you to the staff for their hospitality and the warm welcome into the culture and cuisine of Japan.

Worth a stop! Soba was amazing, as was the starters. Make sure to get there before they open as they work by queuing system
