" Somenya is a hidden gem in the heart of Chinatown! The decor is quaint and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends. I ordered the cold soba, and it was fresh with a wonderful yuzu sauce that enhanced the dish. The service was attentive without being intrusive, which I appreciated. It's a busy spot, so expect a short wait, but trust me, the food is worth it! I can't wait to return and try more items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't sure what to expect at Somenya, but it turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise! The space is warm and inviting, with excellent service. I ordered the curry beef udon, which had a lovely taste but lacked a little punch in flavor. I appreciated the attention from the staff, and the decor made it a lovely experience overall. I think a few tweaks in the seasoning would elevate this place even higher! Will be back to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely experience at Somenya! The ambiance was simply inviting, with great attention to detail in the decor. I tried the tempura udon and was incredibly impressed. The flavor was comforting and very homemade. The only hiccup was that portions felt a bit on the smaller side, but the food quality definitely made up for it. I will absolutely be returning and recommending this restaurant to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional find! Somenya has a charming rustic aesthetic that immediately puts you at ease. I ordered the scallop sashimi, which was fresh and nicely presented, followed up with spicy beef cold soba that tasted marvelous. The noodles were fresh, and while the dish was small, the flavors truly burst in your mouth. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes on their menu; highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful experience at Somenya! The first thing that strikes you is how cozy and inviting the restaurant is, making it a great spot for a casual meal. The soba I had was perfectly cooked, and the toppings were fresh. I loved the hot dipping sauce as well! The wait staff were attentive and made the dining experience very pleasant. I do wish the servings were a bit larger, especially for the main noodles dishes. But overall, it’s a great spot for noodle lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing experience at Somenya last weekend. The place is adorable with lovely Japanese decor. I ordered the tempura soba and it was delightful! The soba noodles had a nice chew to them, and the tempura was crispy without being oily. I was left slightly underwhelmed with the portion size, but the flavors were provocative enough to warrant another visit. Highly recommend trying the various soba dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic culinary experience at Somenya! The restaurant has a cozy setup with a really nice aesthetic. We enjoyed duck udon which was simply delectable and the broth was rich and comforting. The only downside was that the portion size felt a bit lacking for the price point. Great service and I’m eager to return! Would definitely recommend trying their udon! " (*Curated Review*)
