Soba got a lot really nice reviews so my wife and I decided to try it out while visiting pittsburgh. The atmosphere and ambience are cool and really nice. While the portion sizes are large and food is beautifully plated, the dishes really just average. The ingredients and flavors of two dishes we are needed balancing very badly. If you're sensitive to spicy food beware because every dish was spicy and geared for bold flavor. We had the Burmese Salad, Miso Black Cod and the Cantonese noodles with beef. The salad was very creative and with a little tender care and adjustment to the ingredients it could be a really nice dish (too many spices added and too little dressing/vinegarette). The Miso Black Cod filet was the highlight of the dish (prefectly cooked, beautiful taste) but unfortunately it was massively overpowered by the super strong gochujong sauce that drenched the rest of the dish. While the piece of fish was really nice, the rest of the dish was too extreme and lacked the finesse of a decent arrangement. The Cantonese noodles were pretty good and our favorite out the three dishes. The beef was nicely marinated and cooked perfectly to give a nice tenderness. The noodles seemed they provably came from a package and were a bit too thin (unlike traditional beef ho fun) so nothing special there.
While the service was great and the dishes were presented beautifully, the ingredient combinations did not mesh well enough for good fusion with balanced flavors and the prices were too high.
