I find myself craving I-naba's soba all the time.
I love this place!!!!!
Soba noodles are thin, spaghetti-like noodles made from buckwheat, which makes soba noodles protein-rich and full of vitamins...
which means ...no guilty conscience!
I usually come by myself after the gym to have their zaru, which is just their plain soba noodles that is served with dipping sauce and a side of fried rice. Usually satiates my hunger right after a workout...but there are occasions where I have ordered a second order just because these noodles are that good! After finishing my noodles the server brought a cup of sobayu (the water that was used to cook the soba) to add to the remaining dipping sauce and drink like a soup. This "soup" is supposed to be very good for you and full of vitamins and nutrients from the noodles.
On occasions I have taken friends here and tried other items on the menu and have not been disappointed by anything. The miso glazed black cod is great. They also have specials that are inserted into their menus.
Service is great. I usually never have to ask for more tea or anything at all besides the check when I am ready for it. They are very attentive. The price in my opinion is fairly cheap for the quality and service that you get. Inaba is a gem...YOU MUST TRY.
