Soba Totto

Came here for a solo dinner on a Tuesday night. Easy walk no wait. Ambiance was cool. Service was prompt and friendly. I got the yakitori platter: 3 proteins and 2 veggies. It was delicious! And so was my drink.I'm not from the area but with thy being said I had a good experience.

Was looking for a soba place and found that Soba Totto had a decent number of ratings. We made a reservation and were seated quickly into the restaurant. We were surprised that they offered so many various dishes on their menu. I got the tempura soba and it was a pretty solid dish. The tempura was tasty and so were the two appetizers we got. The potato salad was one of my favorites because I've never eaten something like that before. The chili crisps really brought out the flavors. The takoyaki were very delicious too...always a staple when I go to Japanese restaurants.I wish that the tempura soba came with a bit more noodles and maybe a soy sauce dip for the tempura. But other than that, it was okay. The ambiance was dim lit with many customers on a weekday evening. They also had seating for people who wanted to dine-in solo, which I loved. Will probably come again for a solo date!Service was great where the servers refilled our waters consistently and answered our questions about the menu. It was my friend's birthday and we were surprised that they didn't do a mini celebration or anything because I specifically noted it in my reservation. Just wish they did a bit more to elevate the customer experience. Maybe even putting a candle on the dessert we ordered.Matcha parfait was alright. Maybe should've gotten a different dessert. Overall, the experience was decent. If you're looking for a great soba place, I would recommend Soba Totto, but there are other great alternatives in the area too.Food: 3/5Service: 3/5Ambiance: 4/5

I ordered the sansai soba, which was vegetarian, and it was a nice light meal with an umami broth. I also ordered a side of kitsune (fried tofu) which added some protein. Overall, I would come back but hoping to see more vegetarian options being added in the future!

We went to Soba Totto for restaurant week dinner, and for $45, you get an appetizer, your choice of a second course, and a main dish. Some items were pretty solid, and others somewhat forgettable. The agedashi tofu had good flavor, but by the time it arrived, the breading was too soggy and chewy. The tempura was a bit too oily. The yakitori, however, was pretty good. Simple flavor but it let the quality of the ingredients shine. Although the appetizers were nothing special, the main dishes were tasty. My boyfriend got the chicken oyako don, and he loved how the flavors and textures blended together. I got the salmon ikura don, and the salmon sashimi was very fresh and the thickness of the cuts were perfect. The restaurant itself is very spacious and cozy, making it a pleasant dining experience.

This place is much bigger than it looks from the outside. They have a lot of tables inside and bar seating too. And though their specialty is soba, they have a fairly extensive menu that is more equivalent to an izakaya. You can get sushi rolls, donburi, yakitori skewers, and also choose from a appetizer menu (takoyaki, edamame, kara-age, and much more).In terms of the soba, I'd recommend the traditional soba or the yamakake soba (soba with mountain yam). Those are safe choices that will please all palates. And as mentioned, you can come for the izakaya offerings instead too. They have a decent menu of Japanese cocktails and beers. Overall, it is good choice to go to after work.

Headed to Soba Totto with some coworkers since it was near our office. We saw so many Japanese businessmen in suits in the private booths, you know it's legit when they're all coming here to eat.Anyway for apps, we ordered the grilled salmon (salmon yuan yaki) and tako wasa (raw octopus with wasabi). Both were excellent starters.For mains, we got the sukiyaki and the kamo (duck) nanban. The broth for the sukiyaki was delicious! The cold soba was fresh, the poached egg was runny, and I also added on a piece of shrimp tempura, which was the right amount of shrimp to batter ratio for the perfect crunchy bite.My friend enjoyed the nanban, but we both agreed the sukiyaki was the way to go since it came with beef, mushrooms and poached egg, along with the entire presentation of it all.I'd come back to try some other items on the menu.

Everything about this place makes you feel so relaxed. the lighting in the restaurant is just right - not too bright but also not too dark where you can't see or want to fall asleep. The seating area was pleasing to look at with all the wood features and the long seating along the kitchen. The staff was very accommodating for vegetarians and was always around to make sure my water didn't get too low. We came for lunch for restaurant week. We started off with an eggplant appetizer that was so light in a Doshi broth. For my main I got the soba tempura which was first time having soba noodles. The noodles have a specific bite to them that was so unfamiliar compared to other noodles I've had. They were refreshing and went perfectly when paired with the light broth and crispy tempura. I tired my friend's pork katsu and that was tender and juicy. I did wish it was more crispy as the underside got soggy from the rice. It was nice to see a different side of Japanese cooking besides the regular sushi or ramen.

Beautiful restaurant! Very relaxing atmosphere between the lighting and the decor . I brought my daughters and friends for dinner it was just two blocks from where we were staying. The menu items all sounded delicious and was excited to try a few things . Some items priced pretty high but I don't mind if the food is good . We tried a few of the soba dishes and some of the appetizers which all of them were delicious and simply seasoned. May be bland for some people but you appreciate the simplicity of each dish and really taste each item. I really enjoyed everything we had and the staff was great .

Lovely ambiance. Nice subtle flavors. I was looking for a bit more for the price point. I couldn't appreciate the handmade soba noodles. They tasted soft but didn't have the same impact that freshly made ramen does. Appreciated the effort but just wished for something more. Would be back for their lunch specials if I'm in the neighborhood!

Some of the fried food was not so good, but overall it's a decent place for lunch. Service is generally quick and pleasant, but we were served with chipped glass at least twice. It's a small thing but they could do a better job.
