I came to Soba with some friends for a late dinner on a Saturday evening. This is more of an upscale joint, but you definitely don't have to "dress up." The ambiance was romantic and very dim lit. The place seemed pretty massive as there were several large rooms to dine as well as a lounge/bar area.
The menu had pretty basic Asian options. Nothing really stood out as unique in any way. I ordered the Pad Thai and my girlfriend got the Lettuce Wraps. The Pad Thai had a lot of flavor but lacked spice. I also think you should get the option to select chicken, shrimp, or tofu rather than mixing all three. I'm not a big fan of tofu and would have much rather had more chicken or shrimp. It was very tofu heavy. The portions of food were very generous. The lettuce for the wraps was more like a salad and didn't really allow you to create individual wraps with the leaves. However, the fried rice and pork filling for the lettuce wraps was fantastic! It had the perfect amount of spice and the rice was fried perfectly to add a little bit of crunchy texture. I could have eaten an entire bowl of that stuff. All in all it was a bit overpriced for simple Asian cuisine, but that's what you can expect in Shady Side. It wasn't bad by any means, but they didn't give me much of a reason to return.
