Kanda Matsuya

I've been to this restaurant a few times, and I have brought a friend here as well when he was in town. The soba is amazing freshly made. Not too overpriced (although you could find cheaper alternatives) and well worth the cost. Adorable old women greet you as you come in, and as you leave. If you want old Tokyo atmosphere in the middle of the City then come here.

Even most of Japanese are misunderstood this place. In Tokyo, Soba-ya means a pub where you can drink from afternoon and also you can eat Soba noodles. It's a tradition from the Edo period (some 150 years ago). One of the best Soba-ya experience in Tokyo. You can eat Soba (of course!), donburi (rice bowl), Japanese sake and variety of appetizers. It's not so tourist crowded, locals favorite place. If you're interested in more authentic and traditional soba, this is not the place you're looking for. It's just a everyday life of Tokyo.

This was the last place we ate in Tokyo before heading back home. What a cool experience. It's a little tight seating but that makes it more quaint and intimate. The noodles are made fresh, and in site of the patrons. Everything was amazing and I can't wait to come back and eat here again.

Great soba! Warning - if you’re really hungry you’re going to have to wait a while before you can get in, as it’s very popular.

Best noodles in Tokyo. I was here in 2014 and this noodle shop had the best Ramen and tempura shrimp’s that I have to tasted it. The owner was so friendly and kind as well as all the employees working there. It’s a small place however the quality of the food it’s amazing. If you see it on the right hand side you can see how they’re making the noodles by hand. Definitely consider stopping here if you are in the area, you will not regret it. Lastly, the prices are not that bad! A nice meal will cost you about 9 USD.
