About this place
There is a much wider choice here than the soba shop sign might suggest. Yabusoba’s chicken cutlet mixed set meal is listed on the menu at ¥930. One diner described a plate with chicken cutlet, a fried egg, vegetables and rice—a satisfying option when you want a substantial main dish. Other mixed set meals feature croquettes, hamburger steak or pork cutlet, so you can choose the centrepiece to suit your mood.
For noodles, some diners recommend the bean sprout noodles in thickened sauce. One account describes a bowl piled with vegetables and topped with a thick, glossy sauce. The menu also ranges from soba and udon to ramen, fried rice and curry, making it easy to find something whether you are in the mood for noodles or feel like trying something different.
A fish set meal is another option for a filling meal. One diner chose the mackerel simmered in mirin set meal, which also came with pork cutlet and was described as generous in size. There are also reports of lunchtime fish set meals offering a choice of several grilled fish, giving you reason to look beyond soba.
You can eat in, and the restaurant also suits solo diners. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
