I've had many great experience at Soba, but our most recent visit didn't quite match the rest.
The service was great, as usual, but we had a few misses with the food.
We started off with the spicy pork lettuce wraps, which were delicious last time! This time, soooo salty. Omg. It was as if someone had spilled salt into the bowl. Granted, it wasn't enough to be completely inedible, but it did sort of ruin the dish.
For the main course, I had my usual Bi Bim Bap and my wife had her usual tuna. Her tuna was done perfectly. They seem to have this nailed. My bi bim bap was hot, but lacked any of the crispy, slightly dry rice around the outsides of the bowl. It was all just regular-old, glutinous, freshly steamed rice. For bi bim bap lovers, you know that the little added crunch and texture of that crusty rice really makes the dish!
We had an early reservation so we could make an early show. My guess is that the kitchen hadn't quite "gotten up to speed" for the dinner rush yet. Oh well. I would still whole-heartedly recommend Soba, but this time was a miss.
