" Superb noodles and broth! I tried the duck soba, and it exceeded my expectations. The richness of the broth paired with perfectly textured noodles was heavenly. The place is popular, so be ready for a wait, but the food makes it all worth it. Definitely a place I can recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was great, my experience was somewhat compromised by the lengthy wait time. The soba had wonderful flavor and the service was friendly. However, I expected a quicker meal given that the place wasn't as packed. I would come back again for the food but perhaps during a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was just alright. The food was good, but I didn’t feel the authenticity some raved about. The service was friendly, but I felt a little ignored at times due to how busy they were. The ambiance was fine, but it felt crowded. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance felt a bit too stark for my taste, and service didn’t meet my expectations. However, the soba did have good flavor, though I was disappointed by my curry. It was more thick than I was expecting and didn’t have the flavor I was dreaming of. Perhaps I was hyped too much by the reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciate the attention to detail in the food preparation. Their soba is a highlight; the texture is just right. Although my order did take quite a while, it was freshly made. The restaurant has a nice, calm vibe that makes it easy to enjoy your meal. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot for soba lovers! The handmade noodles are crafted so well, and the flavors are consistently strong. It did take a while to receive my meal, but I’ve been here before and always found it worth the wait. Would recommend to anyone looking for genuine Japanese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has visited Japan several times, I can confidently say that Tanakaya provides a truly authentic experience! The vegetable tempura was light and crispy, and the soba noodles were perfectly chewy, just like I remember from back home. The service was attentive, which made a great experience even better. " (*Curated Review*)
