My girlfriend Diane & I met up here about two months ago for dinner and to catch up. We came on a Friday night at 6PM and already tables were getting filled quick. It's a small place, but with decent food. The restaurant was very clean and staff was very friendly and helpful.
I wanted to try the Cold Soba Tea which is really just roasted buckwheat tea. I liked the tea very much, it had just the right amount of roast-like flavor. The tea wasn't very strong which I liked.
Diane didn't want soba noodles because she found out the broth is made with fish and apparently she doesn't eat fish/seafood (I never knew that before).so she got the Oyako Don instead which is egg and poached chicken over rice.

Since the day we went was freezing, I decided to order and try their hot noodles. I ordered the Kitsune Noodle which was soba noodle soup with fried bean curd. I must admit the noodles are quite expensive compared to Cocoron and I wasn't too impressed with this particular noodle soup. The broth could have used more flavor.
All in all,it was nice to experience a different type of food with my friend Diane since we both usually eat ramen or Filipino. I think I would much prefer Cocoron though. The broth and quality tastes a lot better.
