First time discovering STIX Hawaii and I was thrilled to see an Asian-themed food court. My partner LOVES soba, and the last time we were in Oahu he wasn't able to make it to I-NABA so wanted to fulfill his wish of trying a soba spot on the island.We eat early so we came in around 5-5:30 and the place was empty. However, this gave us an opportunity to pick the brain of a local -- Nicholas. He gave us a bunch of Asian food recs on the island and proudly touted that Shingen is the best soba LOL! As they specialize in it.I had never been a soba fan until now. I got a beef soba soup, my partner got the red spicy, and we shared an agedashi tofu. Everything was yum but of course expensive for what it is, being in Oahu. They even gave us a cup each of the water the soba was boiled in to cleanse the palate.. thank you Nicholas!

Really just an average place offering cold soba noodles. Twenty bucks for the special combo is a very pricey considering there is really no meat to be had. Duck soba broth was very clear and had good flavor.

Honestly, I wouldn't come here if you don't speak Japanese. I was immediately sat down when there were no other guests. But the moment other Japanese customers came, straight up got ignored.... I gave the benefit of the doubt when 2 other Japanese customers got their order taken and food served. But the host looked me in the eye and proceeded to walk away. I had to flag her down to even get my order taken....Should have taken that sign to just leave instead ....

Moringa noodles or miracle tree caught my attention on the menu. Seating arrangements are ideal for 2-4 people per table. Shingen Mix was tasty, with distinct flavors of ground pork, egg yolk, egg whites, sesame seeds, bonito flakes, pickled ginger, scallions, furikake, cucumbers with Moringa noodles. Chili oil offered in a separate container adds heat which makes this dish spicy. Sesame oil provided in another container binds the ingredients together. Server was very helpful in answering questions about the menu. I loved that Server offered complimentary soba-yu in yutoh to cleanse our palates and tummies. 15% Kamaaina disc with a valid photo ID.

This place was good! I was impressed with the quality. This restaurant is located inside STIX Asia which is a food court. So expect it to be really busy and if you are going for dinner, expect quite a long wait for most of the restaurants inside STIX. Food was good and served really quick. Ambiance is noisy and hot so do not expect an intimate dinner.

Soba and Tempura are good but pricey for portion size. It is smaller than most Soba restaurants and price is about 30% higher. The service is meh' at best. We were the only customer but server brought us the wrong order and didn't bother to come by later to ask if everything was ok. Took another 15 minutes to get correct order while others almost finished their lunch. You can hear the loud employees in the kitchen which is next to the seating area, cussing and using vulgar language in Japanese..which we can understand! Gone 3 times, but I think that was the last.

Natto (fermented soybean) soba bowl, courtesy of Shingen, is probably the healthiest thing that I can eat in Waikiki!! Additionally topped with grated mountain yam, shiso leaf, nori, local cucumber, okra, green onions, and an "onsen" soft boiled egg plus their mild soba tsuyu makes this a natural, delightful and refreshing choice that doesn't slow you down and downright good for you!! It's also available with Moringa soba noodles which is like doubling down on essential nutrients as every bit counts if your body is ravaged from all the vices in life........a great, healthy detox lunch but only found here at Shingen!!

This Japanese noodle spot is located in the STIX food court in Waikiki. We came here without much expectations but was definitely pleasantly surprised. The duck soup dipping noodles was lovely. Soup had a nice duck fragrance and was rich without being overly fatty. The cold chasu noodles was also very refreshing. The service here was great.

This place was really good. It reminded me of my trip to Japan. I got there noodle special with ube udon and tempura. The udon noodles didn't have ube flavor but the texture is definitely different than soba. It was chewy and soft and still very tasty. My fiancé got the morning soba noodles with had distinct taste but it's good. It's more of a healthier noodle. Overall everything was delicious and I come back here again.
