| - Fusion is difficult to pull off well. Have you ever noticed that "Fusion" almost always involves East Asian food and American cuisine. Thai corn chowder? Are they really going crazy for corn chowder in Chang Mai?
You never find, say, Mexican-Moroccan or Ethiopian-Brazilian fusion places. That would be really inventive. Instead, with Soba, you have another pan Asian-American Fusion joint, although I don't think I've been to a better one.
The mussels are incredible, a meal in themselves, and a bargain at $9.
I had the chopped salad, with fresh mango, avocado, mint, and just a hint of spice. The best meal I've had here was the mussels, followed by the tuna. The crabcakes are also good, made with lump crabmeat.
If you feel like something vaguely Asian, but not too Asian (ex: kimchee pancakes), you won't find a better option. But if you want something truly original, you have to go elsewhere.
